Having already delivered five - star worthy tablets in the shape of the Asus Transformer Prime and more recently the Google Nexus 7, the Asus Transformer Infinity is the newest member of the slate family brandishing a full HD display and the familiar tablet /
keyboard dock design that we loved when we first had our hands
on the original Transformer.
Another thing we would have loved to have seen
on Apple's iPad 3 is a
keyboard dock a la the Asus Transformer Prime.
One drawback is that USB ports appear solely
on the
keyboard dock, a common weirdness
on most hybrids.
Looking at the bottom of the tablet, you'll notice the same
dock connectors as are present
on the Intel - powered Ativ device (which is quite a bit chunkier and heavier), meaning you should be able to connect both Ativs into the
keyboard dock we've seen
on show here today.
I updated the screen section and
keyboard dock section
on the first page of the Transformer review, and the conclusion
on the second page of the review.

The
keyboard dock also has a full - size USB 3.0 port
on each side.
So the rush is
on to produce powerful machines that can switch from tablet to fully featured PC, in a moment — usually by
docking the tablet section into a
keyboard.
The tablet
on its own managed around 7 - 8 hours which is lower than the new iPad but if you have the
docking keyboard handy, you will have plenty of tablet time to play with.
The
dock is made from sturdy aluminum and the full QWERTY
keyboard is comfortable to type
on, if a bit
on the small side.
Pricing will be $ 499 for the 32 GB TF201 and $ 599 for the 64 GB version, with an extra $ 149
on top if you're interested in the
keyboard dock.
Dock your phone in the optional HD Station ** and browse the web
on any size HD TV or monitor, or connect to the new Motorola Lapdock 100 **, with optional full
keyboard **, to use its multiple window capabilities to surf the web, make a call, send a text, stream a video or run a business application
on the large screen all simultaneously.
It is possible to connect directly with a cable, or using the multimedia
dock — the difference being that the
dock has two additional full - size USB ports that are handy if you want to plug a mouse +
keyboard, and the
dock gives you access to Webtop, the desktop environment based
on Linux.
To make use of the
docking connector (not found
on the Thrive 10), Toshiba is readying a sort of multimedia
dock which will play nicely with a Bluetooth
keyboard that will also be offered with the device.
ASUS also announced the Transformer will be able to run 9.6 hours
on its own battery source but it will go up to a even more respectable 16 hours with the
keyboard dock attached as the keypad comes with its own battery pack.
The Asus Transformer
on the other hand has a mini HDMI port and microSD memory card slot, and if you get the optional
keyboard dock for the Transformer, it has a standard SD card slot and two full - sized USB ports.
Most tablets
on the market have a
docking port to plug in an external
keyboard.
While the touch based controls are great, typing
on the digital
keyboard pales in comparison to the add -
on dock.
Total weight is a little
on the heavy side and the «
docked» thickness is way more than you'll get with even a Surface Pro 3 and
keyboard but you do get a nice
keyboard and touchpad and it's no bigger than a netbook from a few years ago.
Yeah, even the device is not yet passed the FCC, the company has starting to take pre-order
on their website for cost of from $ 499 to $ 779,99 for highest configuration with a mobile
keyboard dock.
Acer iconia Tab W500 comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit OS, running
on a AMD 1 GHz C - Series Processor C - 50 with AMD Radeon HD 6250 Graphics with 256 MB of dedicated system memory, sporting a 10.1 inches TFT LCD touch display with 1,280 × 800 pixel resolution, equipped with dual Acer Crystal Eye 1.3 megapixels web cams with with 1280 x 1024 resolution, 2 GB DDR3 RAM, 32 GB of memory storage, Wi - Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 3.0, 10/100 Mbps fast Ethernet connectivity, HDMI port, dual USB 2.0 ports, 2 - in - 1 multimedia card reader, Dolby optimized audio, an optional
docking chiclet
keyboard for easier text entry, powered by Li - Ion batter that gives up to 6 hours of life and more features.
They also wanted to know about various add -
ons (
keyboards,
docks, cases, etc).
Of course, Transformer has this sexy
keyboard dock option which could be a huge benefit to some users depending
on how he / she typically utilizes a tablet.
On March 25, Asus unveiled the Transformer, a convertible tablet with an optional
keyboard - based
docking station and Google's Android 3.0 «Honeycomb» operating system.
Dubbed the tablet for «
on - the - go professionals» this leaked, still - subject - to - change device will apparently come complete with an optional
keyboard dock, optional stylus, 10.1 - inch 1280x800 touchscreen, Tegra 2 and up to 64 GB storage.
Its location is to accommodate the aforementioned Folio
Keyboard case, which works over USB rather than Bluetooth, but we wish Lenovo had placed the
docking port
on the tablet's base and used that instead, leaving the USB port
on the side or top.
The port for the power adapter sits
on the bottom of the tablet, along with a pair of slots to connect the Pro 700T to its
keyboard dock, and a magnetic connector.
For the ones that love inputting lot of text
on their tablets, Samsung offers a full size
keyboard dock that has excellent built quality — at par with the Samsung smartphones.
At some point the «college student» crowd (read «those
on a budget») may «switch» to tablets as a «term paper machine» but that will only be when 1) these can run office - type apps; and 2) when the tablet, with a
keyboard dock, can compete with netbooks in providing close to the same functionality (word processing, working with PDF documents, presentation preparation, light working with video, storage of gigabytes of files).
I say first stage because I'm still waiting
on the
keyboard dock to arrive as well as a replacement Transformer since mine has some defects.
The game - changing Asus Eee Pad Transformer combined a great standalone tablet with a
keyboard dock that not only let you type properly but also doubled the device's battery life and gave you such connectivity gems as full - size USB ports and a regular SD card slot, essentially turning the tablet into a mini laptop that had a better screen and lasted longer
on the go than any netbook.
A good point of comparison
on the Android side is the Lenovo IdeaPad S2110A, which also comes with a
keyboard dock.
Also important, and present, is the starting price: $ 499, and going up from there, presumably, based
on features like innards, stylus and
keyboard dock.
Now we realize those aren't exactly release date confirmations, but it certainly looks like a number of retailers are getting ready to stock up
on some thin 10.1 - inch tablets and
keyboard docks.
The Surface also has a full - size USB port
on the slate itself, whereas the Vivo Tab's port is
on the
keyboard dock.
