ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Despite some software stability issues that need to be ironed out, the ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 is a competitively priced Android tablet that offers plenty of bang for your buck. The keyboard dock is a genuinely impressive add-on and makes the Transformer Pad stand out amongst bland competition.
