I was having a hard time deciding between the 16GB model and the 32GB model. I settled on 32GB since you can seldom have much storage. I put a 16GB MicroSD in the tablet's additional MicroSD slot, and 32GB in the keyboard SD slot. GRAND TOTAL = 78GB OF STORAGE SPACE.
I have had this tablet for a week now. I read every review of the top Android Tablets. Through cautious over-engineering, and making the choice method way hard, it was down to the Galaxy Tab and the Eee Pad. The Eee Pad Transformer won the day. I bought this with the keyboard dock. What swayed me over to the Asus was the fact that the keyboard dock provided a space for additional storage and an extended battery, as well as USB ports, and a Mini-HDMI port. No other tablet gizmo is offering that distinctive combination of features.
Docked, it is a whole new machine. You have access to additional storage, battery life, and a keyboard that will let you crank out emails, tweets, weblog postings, or generate documents/spreadsheets/ppts for school or work. The keyboard is comfortable, and the touchpad responsive.
The ASUS Eee Pad itself is responsive. The screen is beautiful. Any of the reviews that comment on it is construction are way off. The ASUS is solid, feels solid, and fits nicely in your hands. Battery life is surprising. Today, I did content consumption for several hours while listening to Pandora and only used about 25% of the battery. The pre-loaded apps are lovely, but here are a few must-haves that you can get from the Android Marketplace: Kaiten Mail; TwitterComb; File Manager HD; and Dolphin HD. These are all improvements over the functional stock applications.
ASUS has hit the proverbial homerun with the Eee Pad Transformer and optional keyboard dock. Together, this is a combination that is worthy of business and leisure travel, as well as for use all over the house, campus, city. It won't replace your corporate laptop computer or home computer yet - unless your requirements are for more content consumption than hardcore content creation. In November, I plan on taking this gizmo with me for a three week trip to Tahiti. I will leave the corporate laptop computer at home. The ASUS Eee Pad ought to be plenty to stay ahead of work while on holiday, catch a few movies, and read a few nice books.
Cons? Not any yet. If I had to pick on something, it would be that the supplied power cord is short. Disgrace on ASUS for not using a MicroUSB connection for power. They went with a proprietary power adapter. Also note, the keyboard dock does not come with an additional power cord.
