Rated 100% by by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)Regardless, it’s still a comfortable device to hold thanks to its smoothly tapered edges and light weight.
Rated 73% by by c|net (Apr, 2011)While the Prime's IPS screen was immediately clear and sharp when first we powered it on, it was the screen transitions that really impressed us.
Conclusion Which is better for you?

“10.1
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 80% by by Fabian-Salazar (Jan, 2012)This tablet is a must have, 32gb is plenty of space for those who don't cram much into their machines and with the slim and lightweight design it is a thing of beauty.

Rated 100% by by TrustedReviews (Jun, 2012)Dark detailing is good (if not quite perfect) and blacks are deep, all without compromising the brilliantly bright whites.

Eee Pad Transformer Prime by Sam-Smith (Jan, 2012)The screen is neither too small that you can't read some websites or pdf's (like B&N's Nook at times) nor too big that the unit is cumbersome to hold.
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 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 Prime by Christopher-Church (May, 2012)The front camera works well for quick Skype sessions.
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 Prime by The Verge (Dec, 2011)It is here that the performance and those extra cores really shine.

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 Prime by D.-Arias (Jul, 2012)IT would be nice that you could choose which programs or apps should be given the priority setting of using the highest processor speed.

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 Prime by Mike (Feb, 2012)the tablet is blazingly fast regardless of what it's doing and i recently installed the chrome beta to use instead of dolphin/stock that i had been alternating between before and i noticed huge speed increases over what i already thought was rather fast load times from the.

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 Prime by Gai-Elhanan-MD* The charger charges quickly but it is unique to Asus and no iPad chargers (2.1A) will charge the transformer faster than a trickle rate.

size
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)The Prime’s new keyboard dock is thinner than the original’s (.4 inches thick versus .5), but the experience remains relatively unchanged.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Measuring 0.31 inches thick and weighing just 1.29 pounds, the Prime is now one of the thinnest tablets on the market.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)As the chart above indicates, the size and weight difference between the Prime and the iPad 2 is minimal, and that’s exactly how I’d describe holding one in each hand; I really couldn’t feel a difference.
brightness
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 Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)I am currently rerunning all these tests with the dock attached to give you an idea how much time you'd get with the extra cell, but I think it's pretty clear: the Prime is capable of running for over nine hours on a charge (even longer with the dock attached) with the screen being plenty bright, you just have to be mindful of what you are actually doing with the tablet and the power saving modes.
operating system
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)I also didn’t notice much of a difference when it came to multitasking — it didn’t have a problem running multiple apps, but I didn’t notice a speed increase between the Prime and the original Transformer under heavy loads.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)This review will be updated when Ice Cream Sandwich is released for the Prime; however, while I do think the new operating system will fix a lot of Honeycomb’s issues, including some of the fit and finish aspects that were mentioned in the Galaxy Nexus review, I don’t anticipate it fixing one of the main problems I continue to have with Honeycomb: app selection.
type
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)Asus has been very vocal about the forthcoming Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Transformer Prime, which doesn’t exactly bode well for the Honeycomb Android 3.2 software that the tablet currently runs.
camera
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime 64 GB, Amethyst Gray | Rated 82% by by The Verge (Dec, 2011)The Prime’s quad-core processor might be getting all the brand-new-spec attention, but don’t let the 8-megapixel line pass you by.
