Asus EE transformer best of both worlds?


I had one of them and ended up selling it.  Really sluggish performance.

I know there are two types early ones with some issues, but I thought the latest models had improved bios and sorted out the Wifi issues?

My sister got an ipad 2, she's now wanting to sell it and has already bought a laptop to replace the ipad, which she thought was a laptop replacement :grin: My mother is also wanting a laptop again and doesn't use her tablet a lot any more :grin: I did tell them it's not a replacement for laptops  :rolleyes:


Pages on the ipad is a mediocre word processor at best, and won't give you all the compatibility that MS Word would, typing on any touch screen is a pita for me as I touch type, not hen peck. Typing a lot would require a B/T keyboard imo, pretty much making having a touch screen device for word processing pointless, this is assuming the OP does a lot of word processing as it seems to be a concern for him.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Yea it depends what you want it for, I use my iPad all the time at home but not for work mainly use it for leisure. I hardly use my iMac nowadays but would not get rid as there are some things I still need it for. So I do agree  i suppose it's not a complete replacement.
