  1. Pricy but nice and good option though

  2. Does the price include the docking station? I believe the dock extends battery life by 2x.

  3. is that 30k with or without the keyboard dock? 16gb or 32gb?

    still expensive though, since the neo omnipad is only 16k with the same tegra 2 but with some inferior specs compared to the transformer..

    @Wakocoke kung 22k pwede na cguro

  4. Ipad 2 is the best!!!!!!!!!

  5. @Wakocoke
    If that is true, I might get this over iPad2

  6. if wakocoke was correct then I might choose this one over the iPad 2…if i had that 22k bucks

  7. WHAT? Are you kidding me? nearly 30k that’s supposed to be priced just under 25k? preposterous. Time to call relatives abroad.

  8. Try uploading an email using an Ipad if you can.

    For its price point of 30k I think its already has the Keyboard dock. But if its 22k without the keyboard then its a good bite against the ipad.

    The ipad 2 may be 1/2 thinner than the EEE Transformer but remember that this has

    5MP REAR Camera [HD Recording]
    Front Camera
    HDMI OUT
    and expandable MICRO SD card slot.

  9. I still go with iPad2 pero lamang lang ito sa camera quality.

  10. I thought the selling point of this tablet is it’s price ($399). Why so expensive here?

  11. I prefer this one over Ipad! tablet with some computing capability! plus it’s not limited by apple, and with added memory expansion slot.

    The problem is that, i don’t see any use for it now yet.

  12. Hi guys! i updated the post to include the SRP of the Eee Pad alone and the Transformer.

  13. that’s already a big deal. considering Samsung Tab is much expensive.

    who will buy?

  14. Ganda nung babae! hehe

  15. Good luck looking for units. I just checked Taiwan where it’s made and they didn’t even deliver stocks to local stores.

  16. Question: I know this may be a noob question pero hindi ko ata nakita ang wifi sa specs, does it have wifi?

  17. This or the galaxy tab 10.1? They would probably come in the same price (tablet only) specs and portability advantage goes to Sammy while the keyboard dock option is an advantage to the trann.. *ahem* transformer. =D

    I can’t wait for the 2nd ed galaxy tabs so that we can finally have a royal rumble of dual core tablets accessible here in our country!

  18. Is the Php21,999 16GB wifi model?

  19. Anyone knows whether the Transformer will have Gorilla Glass?

  20. With all the quality apps, itunes, podcast,.. i would still go for Ipad2.

  21. Kelan ba makakabili nito sa ph. May stock na ba? Nd kasi namention sa article.

  22. how much do both the tablet and the docking station weigh altogether? thanks!

  23. Does it come with the girl?

  24. “1GB memory”
    – expandable ba?

    “16GB and 32GB internal storage”
    – 2 HD?

  25. FAIL. Tablet with no support for GSM voice communication, SMS, and MMS.

  26. Sayang, not 3G capable..

  27. Okay I AM REALLY CONFUSED!! Di ko na alam kung which one os best, 2nd Gen Galaxy Tabs or this one. I plan to buy the Galaxy Tab 10.1 kasi, pero parang mas maganda toh….

  28. Sir Abe. Do you have ETA when will it arrive on local retail stores?

  29. this is a stupid. There is no 3G!! You got docking station which doubles as extra battery but you can’t be online anywhere you go.

  30. I like to see the Asus Eee Slate first before I buy one.

  31. Should I get this or a Galaxy S2? I know they’re not exactly the same but for less money, it seems like I’m getting more.

  32. Does anyone know if Php22,995 is for the 16GB or 32GB model? Also how much is the keyboard dock?

  33. this is cool unfortunately, I already bought a Lenovo netbook…yung netbook na tablet in 1….

  34. Ipad 2 is still the best tablet in the market!!!!!

  35. will you also review the ASUS Eee PC T101MT?My acer ferrari laptop costs even more than this new tablet and I think this Asus tablet will be more convenient to bring when travelling…I’m a bit concerned with the speed/processor of the tablet.

  36. I’m sorry, it’s actually the ASUS Eee Pad that I am referring to, not the T101MT

  37. May I also request for a comparative review of the Acer Ferrari as against the Asus Tab in terms of speed and convenience?

  38. Yuga, is there an option wherein I can buy only the Transformer not including the dock and keyboard? If so, how much will it cost?

  39. Asus Eee Pad is the best. I love it, I will get one when I have money :D

  40. I hope this one comes out soon. I want to have this for the coming school year :(

  41. This is supposed to be only $399 but they price it at $530 here? sayang, they could have captured the local tablet market. Anyway, I’m waiting for the quad-core tablets. Has anyone seen the GlowBall demo on nVidia Tegra 3 a.k.a Kal-El?

  42. pwede bang gamitan ng smart bro plug it yan pra mka pag internet? hndi po kasi ako familiar niyan. salamat po.

  43. Ive seen one unit sa MOA…
    Infomax yung name nung shop..

  44. Called Asusworld and i don’t think meron silang 32gb with dock nun eeePad Transformer. Yun pa naman ang gusto ko.

  45. i think 3g will come for eepad next gen im not pretty sure but hope it is

  46. Too expensive! It’s only $350 dollars in the U.S. plus tax…but they’re selling the 16gb model here for the 32gb price. It’s supposed to be a full hundred dollars cheaper than the base model of iPad2. Fail! Waiting for the Galaxy Tab 10.1! Go Samsung!!!

  47. Hello yuga. I want one and I want one now. Where can I buy it is it here already? thanks

  48. pls. email me how much n ito ngayon? and how to avail. thanks

  49. the tab is 22,488, with keyboard its 28,488, i’ve already see displays at asus..i really want one..hoping this coming december it would be on sale..

  50. Wait nyo na lang yung the more powerful tablet, the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime. Specs nya ay running under Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor and Android 4.0 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich)!!! International launching date sa market around this coming Nov. 9.

  51. how much is the transformer prime?! want to get it for my bday… :)

  52. Asus has been a trusted brand in my office, owning an Asus EEEPC1000H for almost for years and still working show reliability. Hope Asus will make their reliable units affordable to many consumers.

    Is it simply me or does it look like some of the remarks come across as if they are coming from brain dead
    visitors? :-P And, if you are posting at other sites, I’d like to keep up with you. Could you list the complete urls of your communal pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed? kliknij po wiÄ™cej, http://strobublle.blogspot.ru/2009/07/fps.html

  57. Hey there, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet
    Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up!
    Other then that, very good blog!
