Multimedia Highlights
The Asus tablet integrates a 5 megapixel camera without flash back and a 1.2 megapixel front that promise to offer a solution to the photographic and video needs of users, Honeycomb natively offers video call through Gtalk.
The shooting menu is typical HoneyComb options and have not noticed any extra element. The photographs captured by the camera, despite being 5 megapixels do not reach the quality of other tablets Android Market, though, is ultimately a tablet and this is not a task for which it is designed.
Highlights
In addition to the power of its processor Tegra 2 dual-core 1 GHz, the graphical power of the NVIDIA platform is another strong point because it promises ULP GeForce 3D acceleration and even physics for tablet software.

Conclusions
The innovative ASUS tablet that is placed before us in the high range of tablets on the market. However, we must emphasize the type of device to which we are. While a user is looking for a lightweight tablet, this model is heavier than most alternatives in the market, and their favor is the point of having keyboard.
The photo quality of it is more than enough for occasional use you would give a tablet and camera and also allows video recording and display 720p on a big screen at full resolution through miniHDMI.
The integrated screen is of very high quality, it has nothing to envy to the iPhone screen 2, except that this show-with the same diagonal, a much higher resolution (1,280 x 800 versus 1,024 x 768 pixels) , ie has a higher density of pixels, resulting in further definition.
ASUS has managed to create one device that meets the needs of users who demand a keyboard. While Transformer Pad ASUS Eee allowed the use of a base DockStation, ASUS Eee Pad Slider, integrates on your screen. The set of Eee Transformer Pad and bulky transformer keyboard and weighs more than Eee Pad Slider, however, also allows the versatility to carry only the tablet, much lighter.
Transformer Pad Eee keyboard has the same cost Eee Pad Slider, 499 €, but half of domestic capacity 16 Gbytes, and the model with 32 Gbytes integrated sliding keyboard. As a counter party, which has greater autonomy thanks to the integrated battery on the keyboard. As we can see each user will have to weigh which option if you want more.
Both options are fully valid, powerful and desirable. However, since MuyComputer think that is more versatile that we can use the Eee Transformer Pad because you can use it as a traditional tablet without carrying added weight. Within two machines are equivalent performance as we saw in our tests.
