“10.1
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 100% by by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)Indeed, the Transformer easily matches the best of the competition where battery life is concerned.
10.1”
Android 3.0 Honeycomb
Rated 80% by by The Verge (May, 2011)The quality of the 10.1-inch, 1280×800-resolution Gorilla Glass display is just downright impressive, especially for the price.

10.1"
Eee Pad Transformer by Frank-Grimes (Dec, 2011)Another nice thing is that the display is large, so someone with poorer vision should be able to use the keyboard and read the display quit well.
screen resolution
Eee Pad Transformer Prime by Sam-Smith (Jan, 2012)The resolution of the screen is very impressive and colors are displayed vibrantly.
Eee Pad Transformer by Crypt51 (Aug, 2011)The device uses a IPS display like the iPad and has a resolution of 1024x800, providing a beautiful display.

Eee Pad Transformer Prime by Doh (Dec, 2011)Camera, 8mp back and front camera is good enough for face time.-Was able to playback 1080p videos pretty smoothly.
Eee Pad Transformer by The Verge (May, 2012)The 1.2-megapixel front camera takes decent shots as well, for what it is: it's brighter than many other tablets, but it's still nothing special.
processor
Eee Pad Transformer Prime by Alan-McGaughey (Jan, 2012)This machine is not really a quad core... IT'S A FIVE C0RE!! Four performance cores and companion core which takes care of a lot of the system overhead.
Eee Pad Transformer by Jeffrey-J.-JacobsEven better considering that the Transformer Prime is set to be the first quad-core tablet, as well as pack in plenty of other great features like a gig of RAM, 32 gigs of storage and a 10.1 inch display.

cpu speed
Eee Pad Transformer Prime by romy (Dec, 2011)My wife has an iPad 2 that she also got recently, and while I am impressed by both devices, the Prime has won me over with its insane processor speed and beautiful display.
Eee Pad Transformer by Jeffrey-J.-JacobsAsus did not reveal a number of specs, including screen resolution, a complete list of ports, storage, memory, processor speed and connectivity options.
sunspider 0.9.1 benchmark
Eee Pad Transformer Prime by R.-Richelson--solar-guy (Dec, 2011)Please note ICS has made the web browsing experience lightning fast - im very impressed.
Eee Pad Transformer by Elizandra-Cruz--US.ARMY-VETERAN (Aug, 2011)The browser will get slower when you install the flash and I couldn't find a way in turning the flash off so I had to leave it on or uninstalled which I end up doing, the tab to move the arrows to fix a letter or sentence was very slow is not like the ipad which you can fix any letter in a sentence by taping the screen and moving to the letter and fixing it, some apps in the android market will not load so I had to go back and refresh the page and do everything again which I found annoying!
battery life
10.25 hour
9 hour
Eee Pad Transformer Prime by Mckinley-Bruckner--mick3444 (Dec, 2011)Tegra 3 makes screen transitions are a LOT smoother, gaming performance is better, battery life is improved, the screen is brighter, and its all tucked into a BEAUTIFUL, durable, premium design.
