Everyone loves Asus’ Transformer Prime these days and there’s nothing strange about it. After all, it’s the world’s first (and still the only) tablet powered by a quad-core processor that also comes with that ever-handy keyboard dock. And while I love it too, I think I would love a 7-inch version even more. The reason is obvious – smaller tablets are easier to carry around and that should be the idea here — to leave your bigger laptop at home and carry around a tablet.
I know what you think – such a device would have a smaller and hardly usable keyboard. I dig the argument, but I don’t mind small keyboards. Sure enough, I’ll need some time to get used to it, but I think that’s manageable.
I remember trying out the HTC Shift (anyone remembers that gadget?). It was a 7-inch Windows XP (I think) tablet with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. At first I thought there’s no chance I’ll be able to type on this, but what do you know – I got used to it pretty quickly. In that sense, I believe I would adjust to a smaller keyboard a 7-inch Transformer Prime would sport in a snap. Of course that’s just me…
So I want to know – would you grab a smaller Transformer Prime? Or a 10.1-inch model is perfect for you?
