This is Android at its best, and you\u2019ll love it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tI hate reviewing hardware. I feel like I\u2019m supposed to claim some sort of expertise I don\u2019t have, saying things like \u201cthis is ASUS\u2019 flagship tablet\u201d and \u201cthe most powerful Android device on the market\u201d when I\u2019ve no idea whether either is true or not. I\u2019m not a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/buying-a-new-computer-our-definitive-guide-on-how-to-pick-the-best-parts\/\">hardware geek<\/a>: I don\u2019t know <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/google-nexus-7-16gb-android-tablet-review-and-giveaway\/\">which gadgets are cool<\/a> right now. I like to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/top-places-buy-refurbished-mac-laptops-mac\/\">buy used hardware<\/a> and use it as long as possible. I\u2019m a regular person who happens to occasionally write about software for the Internet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tSo I won\u2019t pretend to be an expert. I\u2019m going to write this review from my point of view, pointing out reasons I think the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/ASUS-TF700T-B1-GR-10-1-Inch-Tablet-Gray\/dp\/B008F4NL04\">64GB ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity<\/a> is a great tablet you should maybe think of getting \u2013 and definitely enter to win below because we\u2019re giving one away. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe Power<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-1.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tI just realized something: the resolution on this tablet is actually higher than my computer, and identical to my television: 1920 \u00d7 1200. So this little screen can show off a lot of details, making it perfect for browsing the web, watching videos or reading comic books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tIt\u2019s got the power to match. There\u2019s a NVIDIA Tegra 3 4-Plus-1 Quad-core CPU @ 1.6Ghz with 12-core GPU, which are fancy words for saying \u201cit\u2019s fast\u201d. The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity plays back HD video without any problems, and there aren\u2019t many games in the Google Play Store it can\u2019t handle with ease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tWith the keyboard attached, ASUS claims a 14-hour battery life. That\u2019s generous if you use your tablet to, you know, do things, but the battery will hold up for a couple of days of off-and-on usage without charging, in my experience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tI have the model with a 64 GB SSD, and I have to admit: I\u2019m not sure what I\u2019m going to do with all of this space. Apps won\u2019t fill it quickly and my music lives on the cloud thanks to Google Play. I suppose I\u2019ll just need to rip my HD video collection to it. The tablet includes a microSD reader, if you need more space. The keyboard offers a regular SD reader.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThere: I wrote about the technical stuff. Let\u2019s move on to actual usage.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe Form Factor<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tLike I said: I\u2019m not an expert reviewer of tablets. I\u2019ve even written <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/4-reasons-glad-netbook-tablet-opinion\/\">rants about why I\u2019m glad I don\u2019t own a tablet<\/a>. But man: I love this thing. It\u2019s thin (85 mm) and relatively light, meaning it\u2019s comfortable to hold with one hand from the couch. The aluminum case is solid; the glass front is shiny. You know: tablet stuff.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-3.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tIf you like reading comics, you\u2019re in luck: the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity is sized just right, and the HD screen really makes them pop. Videos look great too, and it\u2019s hard to imagine a better way to quickly scroll through RSS feeds than this (if you find the right app).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tSo the ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity has quickly become my go-to way to consume the best the web has to offer, from the comfort of my couch. It\u2019s great for playing games, too. But it also works for getting things done. The cameras on this thing is surprisingly good. Front-facing is perfect for video chat; rear-facing is 8MP. The flash is insanely bright and takes some getting used to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-6.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe Keyboard<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tI wanted a tablet that could, in a pinch, become a replacement for my computer. I\u2019m a writer by trade, so for me a computer replacement means a competent keyboard. (Microsoft: what you\u2019re doing with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/microsoft-surface-tablet-review-and-giveaway\/\">Surface Tablet<\/a> is okay I guess, but I need a keyboard that clicks.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity snaps nicely into its keyboard, and when it does you\u2019d hardly know it wasn\u2019t a netbook to begin with. Sure, the balance is odd \u2013 the \u201cmonitor\u201d weighs more than it should. The keyboard also offers a single USB port, so you can plug in a mouse or USB drive if you want.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-4.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tEven better: instead of draining the tablet, the keyboard dock actually charges it thanks to an on-board battery. The extra battery life comes in handy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-7.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThere are occasional annoyances: far too many apps for Android are built without the existence of physical keyboards in mind. But the Transformer Pad Infinity comes with a fairly competent Microsoft Office alternative, and a bunch more are available in the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe Google<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tBut my favorite reason for using this tablet is probably Android itself. I use Gmail for email, Google Docs for collaborating, Google Voice for SMS and GChat for chatting. If you are, like me, a constant users of Google\u2019s services there\u2019s no way around it: Android is the tablet operating system for you. Everything Google just works in Android.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"asus transformer pad infinity review tf700t\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-5.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tAnd while many deride the Google Play Store\u2019s Android offerings compared to the iTunes store, for me this isn\u2019t an issue. I\u2019m new to tablets in general, but I\u2019ve found a wide variety of apps for doing everything from editing images to syncing my files to controlling my XBMC media center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tAnd don\u2019t overlook <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/top-12-jelly-bean-tips-for-a-new-google-tablet-experience\/\">Google Now<\/a>. This isn\u2019t a Siri equivalent; it\u2019s better. Turn your tablet on anywhere and Google will show you relevant information about your location: nearby places to eat, what time the next bus will show up, upcoming appointments and flights you need to catch. You don\u2019t even have to ask, but if you feel like asking a question you\u2019ll get the best answers Google can provide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tThe ASUS Transformer Infinity comes with an extremely capable GPS. Combine this with Google Map\u2019s turn-by-turn directions app (included) and the ability to download entire cities for offline use and you\u2019ll never get lost again. There\u2019s an e-compass, too, if you need to know which way North is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \tSo yeah, I\u2019m a Google fanboy and as such love everything Google. Get over it. If you love Google too, however, you\u2019ll love this tablet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p> \t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/tag\/asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700t-review-and-giveaway\/\">Articolul original<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p> \t\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The $599 64GB ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity (TF700T) is a high-powered, lightweight tablet with a detachable keyboard you\u2019ll actually enjoy typing on.
