don’t you read? Yuga said that it’s available for 21,999, that’s if you just want the tab. and 30k is the price when you want to add productivity with your keyboard dock. keep your comments right. ok?

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

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

Have you tried both so to conclude why one is better than something? Pros and cons? Selling points? Etc?

(Similarly but OT: which provisions of the RH bill you do not like, or you want to change and to what and why? Point being, it’s easy to dismiss something by simply posting a comment than to post an in-depth review.)

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

as i’ve said, 30k is with the dock that could extend your battery life to up to 6 hours.

I love eepad transformer pero maraming quality issues such as light bleeding, Sleep of Death (SOD), half baked na O.S., Faulty Camera and Video recording and only about hundreds of apps available in the market.I think, 30k is just way up too expensive for a tablet with a dock IMHO. But still, If they’ll fix it, I’ll surely buy this beast. The best lang ang IPAD kung naka Jailbreak! XD

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.
