Is there any tablet that's hotter than the Transformer Prime right now? (Please, don't say the Kindle Fire.)
For weeks we geeks, early adopters and people who love their tech toys
have been awaiting this, and none too patiently. Make no mistake: this
will be one of the slickest products we test this year and it isn't just
because the original Transformer
had such an inventive design. The Prime is the first device packing NVIDIA's hot-off-the-presses Tegra 3
SoC, making it the world's first quad-core tablet. This comes with
promises of longer-than-ever runtime and blazing performance (five times
faster than Tegra 2, to be exact), all wrapped in a package measuring
just 8.3mm (0.33 inches) thick -- even skinnier than the iPad 2 or
Galaxy Tab 10.1. Throw in specs like a Super IPS+ Gorilla Glass display,
eight megapixel rear camera and a confirmed ICS update in the pipe and
even we seen-it-all Engadget editors were drooling.
