Rated 100% by 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.

Features Key features of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF300 compared to the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime
“10.1
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Rated 80% by by AstroBob--AstroBobprojectors/monitors. The screen format is wide screen so a better match to modern TVs and monitors than the Apple 4x5 format.
10.1”
Android 3.2 Honeycomb
Rated 73% by by c|net (Apr, 2011)The resolution and contrast on the IPS panel are about as impressive as on the previous Transformer or the Asus Slider, but the new Super IPS mode+ increased the brightness up to 570 candelas per square meter (cd/m2), which is the highest brightness we've yet seen on a tablet and makes reading in direct sunlight a bit more tolerable than on other LCD tablets.

Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Sathish (Aug, 2012)Coming back to the Asus, What makes it a really good tablet.... It has a really good screen too, I feel it's more than enough for a display of this size.
screen resolution
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by DarrenThe new IPS+ high resolution screen is superb, the faster processor is welcome, the TF700 feels better constructed overall than the TF300, (partly due to being primarily made of metal), and having a built in flash for the rear camera is a nice extra too.
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 TF300 by Keith-D.-Sniadach (May, 2012)The front camera has less pixels and isn't as great, but is perfect for video calls and gets the job done.
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.
processor
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Debbie-Dvora (May, 2012)For the price of $400 dollars for this tablet with 32gb of storage, you're getting a light sleek tablet with a quad-core processor and excellent battery life.
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 TF300 by R.-Kurthakoti (May, 2012)The tablet has very good clarity and excellent speed thanks to the Tegra 3 processor.
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 TF300 by Zachary-Wagner (Apr, 2012)Web browsing is quite fast (I use Dolphin browser), and once I updated Adobe Flash, flash within web pages works great.
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 TF300 by Philip-Arthur (Sep, 2012)Heavy users that game, watch videos use wfi, bluetooth, GPS and connect external devices (like hard drives) will be able to make it through the daylight hours before they need a charge if it's set to balanced power setting.
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.
