Wala ko nagdahom nga ang Asus Transformer Prime mogawas sa mga tindahan karong sayo pa tungod kay ang Asus Philippines nagtakda og teknikal nga seminar uban sa mga miyembro sa media sa Pebrero 16.

Nakita kini sa website ni Villman ug nagkantidad og Php32,995 nga naglakip sa docking station (32GB model). Wala nila gi-indikar kung pila ang presyo sa tablet pero nagtuo ko nga naa kini sa range nga Php23k hangtod Php25k.

Dili daan nga presyo kung ikompara nga ang unang Asus Transformer nagbaligya pa gihapon sa Php29,995.

Asus Transformer Prime mga espesipikasyon:
10.1″ Super IPS+ nga display @ 1280×800 pixels
Gorilla Glass
NVidia Tegra 3 1.4GHz quad-core nga processor
32GB ug 64GB internal nga storage
1GB DDR2 RAM
1.2MP front-facing nga kamera
8MP autofocus nga kamera nga adunay LED flash
3.5mm mic & headphone combo jack
micro HDMI port
micro SD card slot
USB 2.0 port (dock)
SD Card slot (dock)
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ EDR
Google Android 3.2 Honeycomb

Mosulay ko nga moadto sa ilang mga tindahan ug mag-order og unit kung mahimo.

Update: Bag-ong order nga gihimo pinaagi sa website ug mipili nga mobayad pinaagi sa CC direkta sa ilang tindahan (wala silay online nga pasilidad sa pagbayad). Kuhaon kini sa ilang sanga sa Mall of Asia.

guys where did you get your units? i tried finding one last weekend and its crazy out of stock in manila!

i settled from a seller at tpc.
he also sells screen protector for tf201 for those who are looking for one.

I was ready to buy one until I read that there is a problem with GPS and on some units, WIFI.
I hope that Asus will remedy this… maybe by replacing the aluminum cover?

They’re releasing a newer model on Q2 (supposedly around June so probably Aug-Sept here :P) called: ASUS Transformer Prime HD TF700

–> 1920Ã—1200 HD resolution
–> upgraded 2-megapixel front camera
–> changing its back-panel design (uglier compared to the prime) to increase the performance of GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Good timing coming out with this post!!!

For a while I was considering buying Galaxy Tab 7.7 after some print ads got me excited for a couple of days. I began getting tired of waiting for the Prime. And then, pop!! It’s here. I’m getting mine on Sunday.

alainL · 15 years ago

Walang online ordering facility? Wahahahaha! Pathetic.

Pinoy Technologies · 15 years ago

I will recommend this Asus Transformer Prime to my friends. Great specs.

ishtangli · 15 years ago

I’ve been waiting for this for a while but that price is just killer. Especially when the thing is priced exactly the same as the TF101 in the US.

alainL · 15 years ago

Wasn’t it priced $100 more?

vhangell · 15 years ago

pede bang bilhin nang walang dock? how much kaya?

supertoblerone · 15 years ago

Check ko sa singapore kung magkano ang market price with and without the dock. :)

Lea · 15 years ago

I have an acquaintance in Singapore who inquired for me.

32GB (tab + dock) = 899 Singapore dollar
(roughly P30.6K)

I was planning on asking him to buy one for me, but I’m thinking of buying here instead. :)

Jerome · 15 years ago

Villman is Cool :D

marko · 15 years ago

do you have any idea where I could buy a case or sleeve and screen protector for the Prime? Anyways, GPS is actually really good. It pointed my location accurately. There is no problem with WiFi as well, unless the connection itself is slow.

The King of all tablets!

cris · 15 years ago

how come the tf101, 32gb still price at P34,992?

lexterslab · 15 years ago

Villman is OP.

@Pong
There is already an ICS update for it. ;)
here it is: http://gizmodo.com/5874604/transformer-prime-graduates-to-ice-cream-sandwich-today

honeycomb pa din kala ko ba ICS na??

The King of Android tablets.

lawrence · 15 years ago

I don’t think the quadcore processor will be put into good use with android. its a waste of hardware for me. ill wait for win8 instead

gears · 15 years ago

Villman says its already “AndroidTM 4.0 *1”

Ray · 15 years ago

Please tell us what serial number your Prime will get from them ^__^ Might get one soon… I’m still very hesitant to get one without a fix for the Wifi issues. I don’t care about the GPS (it would be a nice bonus if it were fixed though) but weak Wifi is a deal breaker.

Rick · 15 years ago

From what i heard, the wifi was fix by the ICS update. T’was basically a software problem while the GPS is a different story. Somehow it was located in a different area of the tablet where the back aluminum plate prevents it from getting a good GPS fix. But with wifi connected to a decent network, on the other hand solves it. That is if you have one while driving or walking around. But I have my GPS capable cellphone for that. GPS isn’t a deal breaker for me too.

xyzsor · 15 years ago

Im just curious, do you buy every piece of tech you review here at yugatech, or do they sometimes give you a device for you to review?.. Again, im just curious.. haha..

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 15 years ago

I sometimes buy the gadgets. Most are just loaner units.

Sonofa · 15 years ago

@yuga
how do you dispose of your old units? where do you sell them?
looking to buy nice 2nd hand gadgets…Ã¼

Jay Ermitano · 15 years ago

yaiks still an expensive sell for the local market…anyways for the specs and early exclusivity ownership i guess the price warrants it…

actually there is no flaw in the hardware itself, just the interface which runs the gps on their UI and firmware…rooting it and fixing the gps does the trick if you can spare the time and risk of doing so

Roskie Cruz · 15 years ago

From… what I’ve heard, though, rooting and the firmware doesn’t work. ASUS already sent updates in the US but didn’t really do it. It’s because of the TF201’s aluminum casing that seems to prevent it from getting a good lock on the GPS signal.

I do suggest waiting for the redesigned model, if it will be available in the Philippines, or have someone send it for you.
