Rated 100% by by Gordong11 (Jan, 2013)Excellent battery life (I can watch about 3 full movies on a full charge).
Rated 40% by by Philip-Arthur (Sep, 2012)The 8 megapixel rear camera is a decent performer, but don't expect photos and videos to be as crisp as ones from a DSLR or a point and shoot.

Rated 80% by by Brewski (Jun, 2012)The speaker sounds great for what it is, and the rear camera does take pretty decent pictures (feels very similar to the one on the HTC Incredible 2).

Excite 10 by The Verge (Mar, 2012)At 7.7mm, it really is impressively thin, slimmer than any tablet we've seen regardless of screen size.
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
Excite 10 by SkyKnight (Jun, 2012)It has good resolution, and while not as amazing as Apple's retina display, it was pretty close.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Andrew-Vosper (Sep, 2012)It's not a super high resolution display, so the individual pixels are pretty good sized, and this was pretty noticeable.

Excite 10 by c|net (May, 2012)The 2-megapixel front camera took fine-looking pics with serviceable detail, but you wouldn't want to use it beyond light video chat.
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.
processor
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by Slim (May, 2012)The specs of the machine are the best around right now, the quad core is bullet fast.

cpu speed
Excite 10 by Dancherd (Sep, 2012)I did look into getting the newer Excite, but don't like that there is one processor "MAP(tm) 4430 Processor" to handle all functions.
Eee Pad Transformer TF300 by R.-Kurthakoti (May, 2012)The tablet has very good clarity and excellent speed thanks to the Tegra 3 processor.
