Many are probably already tired of hearing about the most famous tablets such as the New iPad and the Nexus 7. It seems that they are the only two devices that are worth it, but both offer a very complete tablet experience and that is not worth it. for all. Among the other not-so-popular tablets, Asus TransformerPad Infinity has always been considered the best choice for a high-end tablet. We tell you what makes it so special.
First of all, the Asus tablet is part of the Transformer range. This means that we have the opportunity to connect a charging station or However, which also incorporates a QWERTY keyboard. In short, it is a hybrid tablet that gives us the management of a laptop to perform tasks typical of the world of work such as writing emails or editing texts. In fact, hybrid tablets respond to this function, they are great devices for making dynamic presentations thanks to their touch screen but they also allow us to work more comfortably. The dock-keyboard allows us to write but also makes support and, in the case of Asus, it provides a extra autonomy when carrying an extra battery. In the case of the Transformer Infinity we speak from 8 to 14 battery hours. In addition, the dock provides a port USB and a slot SD additional.
Its screen is that of a large format tablet, 10,1 inches, and features a multi-touch panel SUPERIPS+, giving 180 degree viewing angle, and protective glass Corning Glass. The resolution is remarkable: X which give you a definition of 224 ppi. This is above Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD and only a step away from Apple's Retina display.
This tablet has a very powerful processor. We are talking about the same chip as in Nexus 7, a CPU Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core but a 1,6 GHz also accompanied by the 12-core Ge Force GPU. This assembly is said to be for the version with WiFi-only connectivity and it was promised with the version with 4G it would carry a Qualcom Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 dual-core processor at 1,5 GHz. Models have been seen but it has not yet been marketed anywhere. place.
In both models we would be talking about 1 GB of RAM to support the processor and run the operating system Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Asus promised that all Transformers would be upgraded to Jelly Bean. At the moment, it has only reached Transformer Pad TF300 and is starting to arrive at Transformer Prime, but it sure does not take long on the TF700T.
The interesting thing about this tablet is its large storage (16 GB / 32 GB / 64 GB) and the opportunity to expand it further by microSD up to 32 GB.
With all the known sensors and all the ports you would like except for the NFC, plus its two cameras (2 MPX / 8 MPX) it is a very complete tablet, without failures. Its price is high, of course, but nothing is left out.
We leave you a comparison table with the two successful tablets so you can see that Asus Transformer Pad Infinity is not a joke.
