“10.1

Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by The Verge (Oct, 2012)A big, 1080p display on an Android device is great for watching movies, but it's worse for a lot of other things.

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 Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)In balanced mode and power-saving mode, the CPU speed is throttled to save on battery life.

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 Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)The TF700's Web speeds in the default browser were a second or two slower than the iPad's when traveling to the same sites, but matched the Prime on average.

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.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by The Verge (Oct, 2012)The dock's battery drains first when they're connected, and it actually charges the tablet — you just drop the tablet in when it's dead, and since I left the dock plugged in most of the time I've never once had to charge the tablet itself.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 40% by by LiqmaticusUpdate: I am knocking two stars off for the way ASUS is handling the TF201 WiFi/GPS signal metal chassis design flaw by introducing a new Prime (TF700) model.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 40% by by Brian-P.-Williams--Brian-Patrick-Williams (May, 2012)So, no wonder people have mixed feelings about the Prime, especially when a new version is rumored to come out soon, the TF700 series, that conveniently advertises "enhanced Wi-Fi and GPS capability" and sports a non-metallic strip of backing right where the internal antennas are located that reeks highly of a fixed version of the Prime.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)Speaking of radio wave speeds, GPS performance is much improved over the Prime's and satellite connections are much easier to find.
design
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 76% by by The Verge (Oct, 2012)Unlike the plasticky Pad 300, it's a serious feat of industrial design, a worthy successor to the beautiful Transformer Prime.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)Miller/CNET). Despite the few, small design changes, the TF700 feels just as light and comfortable to hold as the Prime does.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)The TF700 measures 0.33 inch thick - compared with the Prime's 0.32 inch - and it encloses its innards in an almost complete aluminum unibody design.
camera
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Asus gave the F2.4-aperture lens, back-illuminated sensor some significant attention, and, well, the Prime now has the best camera of any tablet on the market.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 20% by by C.-Conchi (Jan, 2012)Anyhow, I've returned my Prime to Amazon for a full refund... and now I see that they've jacked up the price on these by $115???? What a gip... and to find out that Asus is now launching the TF700 series near the end of Q2 with the only real enhancement being the front facing camera going form a 1.2 to 2.0 Mega Pixel and the upgraded screen resolution which is nice, but on a 10 inch.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)The 8-megapixel back camera received an aperture upgrade over the Prime, going from F/2.4 to.
screen
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Asus maintains that the screen brightness is the culprit here, and I tend to agree with them — 65 percent brightness on the Prime is higher than on the original Transformer and most other tablets.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)The Super IPS+ (In-Plane Switching) mode boosts the TF700's screen brightness - making reading in sunlight a bit easier.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)While the TF700's display retains the wide viewing angles most IPS displays are capable of, when looking at a white background from an off angle, an impression of one of the LCD components can subtly be seen.
radio
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 76% by by The Verge (Oct, 2012)The sides and back are a single sheet of aluminum, except for a strip of plastic at the top where the camera lens and a lot of the connection radios live (those radios don't do well with metal, as some Prime owners found).
