Ahh, nostalgia! I remember watching this review trying to determine if I should get this tablet. Tech has come a long way, and so has the quality of your channel!
Keep up what you're doing, you're doing it well. I subscribed because of the ATH-M50 review, which actually led to me buying them, and I noticed you respond to TONS of comments. That's actually awesome, and not many TH-camrs do it. You earned my subscribe.
You should expect this video to blow up now after your most recent video. Incredible dedication and hard work, even after 10 years I still enjoyed this review.
I've got to say, that is probably one of the best reviews of this I have seen, and i've watched quite a few!! You just earned yourself another subscriber!!
This thing is a champ. :) I've had one since late January and haven't been disappointed! The wifi issues were present with some of the tablets (at least in the early batches) and were discovered to not be caused by the metal body, but by a manufacturing error whereby some of the antennas would be kind of... disconnected inside. I haven't had issues. Next tab does have a non-metal area to help with better GPS accuracy. As if anyone uses tabs for GPS. :) Thanks for your high-quality, classy vids!
That looks incredible! It seems like the best Android tablet ever, and possibly the best tablet on the market, period! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
great review. you go into a lot of detail which is always appreciated. ordered the 32gb variety and a dock from amazon today....this review sealed the deal for me. thanks and keep up the good work :)
Great review! I like the intro as well :) It defenetly looks a lot better than the other android tablets. Looks a lot smoother, and just better overall. I'm still going to stick to the iPad though. Nice job man, keep up the great work.
My man! Thank you for rotating the device 360 degrees! I am doing some insane mods in my vehicle that requires the tablet have this capability. (I think this feature is in all versions of Android for tablets, but needed to see it.) I will be waiting for your review of the keyboard dock. I need to know how easy it is to disassemble. Given that info, I will decide on buying a dock or buying the hinge thats in the dock from ASUS and incorporating it elsewhere. Great vid! Thanks!
Haha thanks for turning it around to see the rotating animation. It's finally on par with the iPad 2. Really itching to pick one up now but I'll see what ICS can do on the OG Transformer! Can't friggin' wait!
Great video review man! I am loving my Prime although that speaker placement really ticks me off... I've gotten used to holding the tablet upside down, so problem solved. Keep up the good work. Your reviews are amazing!
LoL Excellent video! This was the first tablet video I have ever watched where I actually considered buying a different tablet other than the iPad. (Btw, thanks for saying my name yesterday on your live stream! :)
marques you are such a legend. you are one of the only reviewers I know that always answers the viewers questions. do you think that the primes performance is comparable to the I pad 2. can you pleas to a video with gaming on the prime. thanks. keep up the good work! :-)
I watched this and am posting this comment from my Asus Transformer Prime. Love the tablet, my poor Droid2 is getting so lonely and neglected. Great vids as aways, keep up the good work. I will correct you on one thing though, the Champagne version (which is what mine is) is not really gold at all. It is almost more of a brushed aluminum or nickel type look. It is far far more silver than the Amethyst Gray is gray, which is basically purple.
Awesome Review! This was a completely informative and pleasantly detailed video in just over 5 minutes! I watch alot of reviews and have seen a few about the same product. I love those reviewers and liked their reviews but theirs dont compare to yours.. Glad Im subscribed
THIS is the tablet pc i am going to buy! Thanks for posting a great video! Yes, the little drawbacks of the GPS (which can be resolved with the firmware update), the wifi situation, and also the speaker in that peculiar place are really minor. I think this is THE tablet that will rock the ipad 3 world! I will get one in two to three weeks! I love those games you were playing! AWESOME! The speed of this thing is incredible!!! I WILL get one of these!
@marquesbrownlee I would imagine so. I searched Google Shopper, its listed on a couple sites for $500. I admire how fast you respond to comments, awesome job man!
Oh man, this looks like an amazing tablet! I'm looking to buy one soon and this is one that i'm considering as well as the Sony Tablet S and hopefully the iPad 3. If it has a quad-core processor and retina display, it's going to be a close battle between this and the iPad 3.
Great review; looks like a neat tablet. Still liking my iPad2, but envying the ports there. No USB port for flash drives or external HD? I wish Apple or Asus would do that. -- Do you recommend the small memory cards? No FireWire port either? They're missing out, IMHO. Is there some good tech reason not to include those? -- Subscribed.
AMAZING REVIEW!! every time I watch one of your reviews, I always get "Got to buy this" feeling. I bet if you reviewed a pair of socks, I would get the same feeling ;P you are that good. Thanks for this entertaining yet informative review. Respect.
Going to be ordering mine Thursday and I can't wait. I'll get a taste of ICS before it comes to my Razr. This will be replacing the daily duties of my old Samsung Galaxy Tab (The old 7 inch).
haha hey i watched your review on amazon! very thorough, ever since i pre ordered ive been steadily following reviews to see if i should cancel or not, im keeping it should be here tomorrow. anyway great review great tablet! :)
I think that whole argument of "Android sucks cause its laggy" is about to be thrown out the door.....not only is the hardware getting faster but the software (android 4.0) is getting way more "optimized" and lightweight....cant wait to see how 4.0 runs on newer dualcores (Snapdragon S4, Cortex-A15 based dualcores) and even on some older phones
@BlueCatShip Great review by the way. and BlueCatShip, the prime has a docking station that you can buy for 150 that fits perifectly. it has an extra battery, full size SD card slot, USB port, Keyboard, Trackpad and the input to charge the duo. you should check out Engadget's review on it. they have the dock and the tablet. and secondly, if ASUS were to put a full size USB port on the tab. it would become alot thicker than it already is. so their solution was to put it on the dock.
It seems like they put the speaker in that location so you can cup it with your hand to direct the sound towards your head. I do this with my X2 when watching videos. I'd do the same with this tablet. Nice review, I'm sold on this tablet now and am going to buy it.
I think the placement of the speaker is so that you cup your hand around it (rather than covering it) thus funnelling the sound to the front with your hand :)
Wows this was sooo awesome and informative! I was thinking about getting a ipad 2 but after seeing this along with another review on this tablet im soo getting this instead! So thannx :)
How many hours do you spend on editing your videos ???? They look freaking GORGEOUS !!!!! Pretty much how Modern Combat 3 would look on your phone and tablet
Hey marquesbrownlee, I've been watching your videos for a long time now. Good job! one question: Can this tablet provide the same word processor / spreadsheet performance as a laptop? I have to resize, customize cells in the spreadsheet and I was wondering if This tablet could pull that off.
i initallly was looking into this because im a fan of everything else Transformer but this is truly amazing!!! I think this is the one! :) Thanks for the review. And I'm totally stealing 'holy buns' from you!
the screen has a much higher resolution, the back has slightly changed to allow signals to work better, and i believe it has a higher clock speed for the quad core portion of the processor.
well, seeing as higher resolution screens are where the market seems to be going, its probably going to be better than having a lower res screen that might be outdated by this time next year, so for me personally, if i was buying a tablet, i would be waiting for the infinity. if price is an issue, you should wait till the 22nd, because the transformer pad 300 is going on sale for a price point even lower than this one, and i believe it has the same specs
You should wait until the Infinity comes out. It has all these useful ports that the ipad does not have. It also has a Full HD screen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio so videos will fill up the screen and not give you black bars like on the ipad.
Man, I never saw the point of having a tablet when I have a smartphone with a 4.7 inch screen which can do all the things a tablet can.......but after seeing this, I've got a mild case of tech lust :-)
im going to just wait for the infinity. when ever they decide to release it tfor the US. hopfully it will be relase sometime on Q2 2012 like most website that i found say it going to be release even tho theres no official release for it (nor price but probally it going to cost $100 more than the curtain price for the Prime im guessing) if i never had about infinity. i would probally be typing this comment on a prime. but good things come to those who wait. btw, great review on the prime
@MarquesbrownleeHey man! I love your videos! I have a question and i think it would make a great video. Here it is. I know you just got the galaxy nexus and all but before you got it. What was your old phone and how did you make it faster and more reliable? I have to samsung galaxy s 4g and I want to know what i can do to make it faster
great vid as always but witht the speaker placement you mentioned i find that when holding the tablet landscape with your hand cupping the speaker it makes it amplified and sound better xD maybe done on purpose by asus or not who knows:)

Ahh, nostalgia! I remember watching this review trying to determine if I should get this tablet. Tech has come a long way, and so has the quality of your channel!
I remember being 15 and showing my mom this video since we couldn’t afford an iPad. We’ve come a long way, thanks bro
You could of gotten an iPad 1 for cheaper in 2011 or early 2012
Keep up what you're doing, you're doing it well. I subscribed because of the ATH-M50 review, which actually led to me buying them, and I noticed you respond to TONS of comments. That's actually awesome, and not many TH-camrs do it. You earned my subscribe.
im here after watching mkbhds one plus tab review
You should expect this video to blow up now after your most recent video. Incredible dedication and hard work, even after 10 years I still enjoyed this review.
This tablet was ahead of its time.
My first tablet that I ever purchased. Still have it, though no where as "liquid smooth," as before lol. Can't get myself to toss it.
Talk about old tech now, used to have one of these..
wow...your review was the best thing ive seen so far. a good mix of facts and the video was entertaining...u got my subscription!
I've got to say, that is probably one of the best reviews of this I have seen, and i've watched quite a few!! You just earned yourself another subscriber!!
Just came from the OnePlus tablet video to see how far we’ve come with tablets 😅
You have a really unique and almost "premium" way of creating you're reviews, whic i really enjoy! Keep making them reviews!!

Who else is here after watching his recent video looking back ?
👀👀👀👀👀👀
Great review! I like the intro as well :) It defenetly looks a lot better than the other android tablets. Looks a lot smoother, and just better overall. I'm still going to stick to the iPad though. Nice job man, keep up the great work.
After the one plus tablet review.
My man! Thank you for rotating the device 360 degrees! I am doing some insane mods in my vehicle that requires the tablet have this capability. (I think this feature is in all versions of Android for tablets, but needed to see it.)

Great video review man! I am loving my Prime although that speaker placement really ticks me off... I've gotten used to holding the tablet upside down, so problem solved. Keep up the good work. Your reviews are amazing!
Finally you did a review on this, I've been waiting forever!
So did you end up buying it?
LoL Excellent video! This was the first tablet video I have ever watched where I actually considered buying a different tablet other than the iPad. (Btw, thanks for saying my name yesterday on your live stream! :)
Watching this after 11 years. Nostalgia!
I have to agree with all the other folks, perhaps the best review ever!
You got me as subscriber!!!
BTW, did you really tried it in Sunlight?
@david90531
It actually ships with honeycomb, but as soon as you connect it to wifi you'll get a prompt to update.
marques you are such a legend. you are one of the only reviewers I know that always answers the viewers questions. do you think that the primes performance is comparable to the I pad 2. can you pleas to a video with gaming on the prime. thanks. keep up the good work! :-)
Thanks for reviewing this...you beat the major tech sites to it
Thank you so much for the rendering tip. Everything runs so much faster now!
I watched this and am posting this comment from my Asus Transformer Prime. Love the tablet, my poor Droid2 is getting so lonely and neglected. Great vids as aways, keep up the good work.

This feels so weird to watch in 2023
Watching this because I convinced my sister to buy one back then. The memories.

Enjoy your reviews mate. You have a nice natural projection. Keep it up.
MAN! I really want that tablet really bad! Really nice review, still thinking about which tablet can't be red in sunlight... :)
i like every single video of you dude you are the best
Excellent review, thanks for including info on updates for areas that needed improvement.
Oh man, this looks like an amazing tablet! I'm looking to buy one soon and this is one that i'm considering as well as the Sony Tablet S and hopefully the iPad 3. If it has a quad-core processor and retina display, it's going to be a close battle between this and the iPad 3.
I always come back to this review since it was released,its just THAT amazing.btw what tablet are you using now Marques ?
Great review; looks like a neat tablet. Still liking my iPad2, but envying the ports there. No USB port for flash drives or external HD? I wish Apple or Asus would do that. -- Do you recommend the small memory cards? No FireWire port either? They're missing out, IMHO. Is there some good tech reason not to include those? -- Subscribed.
Finally we get the review! Excellent job!
Haha I was in the G+ hangout hangout last night found your channel nice review BTW subscribed
AMAZING REVIEW!! every time I watch one of your reviews, I always get "Got to buy this" feeling. I bet if you reviewed a pair of socks, I would get the same feeling ;P you are that good.
Thanks for this entertaining yet informative review.
Respect.
Going to be ordering mine Thursday and I can't wait. I'll get a taste of ICS before it comes to my Razr. This will be replacing the daily duties of my old Samsung Galaxy Tab (The old 7 inch).
Nice review man! Very professional, keep it up!
haha hey i watched your review on amazon! very thorough, ever since i pre ordered ive been steadily following reviews to see if i should cancel or not, im keeping it should be here tomorrow. anyway great review great tablet! :)

Best asus Transformer Prime Review ever
I Love asus
Did you have WiFi issues? I want one of these but I hear they're plagued with WiFi problems. Thanks MB! Love the vids man
I was really proud of my intro there for a second....I assume you're getting into After Effects too?
I think the placement of the speaker is so that you cup your hand around it (rather than covering it) thus funnelling the sound to the front with your hand :)
Wows this was sooo awesome and informative! I was thinking about getting a ipad 2 but after seeing this along with another review on this tablet im soo getting this instead! So thannx :)
I'm waiting to upgrade to the high-res Transformer Prime when it's release but my OG Transformer will be used for now.
Although I don't think this is the device for me, this is a nice review. Keep it up!
Love the video, when is the next installment of your Mac mini series? Really looking forward to it.
Dude, nice review style, just subscribing!
Best reviewer ive seen
Awesome review as always, now where is the Galaxy Nexus full review :)
Great videos/channel. Subbed and will be letting my fellow nerds in on this gem. Keep up the great work.
How many hours do you spend on editing your videos ???? They look freaking GORGEOUS !!!!! Pretty much how Modern Combat 3 would look on your phone and tablet
Again great video! what camera are you using? My son wants to videos
@marquesbrownlee Aweome, I am looking forward to it! It's nice getting a reply from the person who uploaded the video haha ;)
Yo, I just wanted to let you know, your videos made me order the tf201 today! Wish me luck for no bt, wifi, GPS issues.
I've got the OG Transformer with CM9 and overclocked to 1.5 GHz, perfectly smooth, just like the Prime.
Awesome review, can't wait to test it out myself
Whenever I choose not to watch any one of your videos, I always regret it... Always...
i love how you just cover everything i wanted to know instead of surfing youtube. now were is that subscribe button?
Awesome review. You have yourself a new subscriber. :)......... I'll be getting mine in 2 wks can't wait.
Hey marquesbrownlee, I've been watching your videos for a long time now. Good job!
one question: Can this tablet provide the same word processor / spreadsheet performance as a laptop? I have to resize, customize cells in the spreadsheet and I was wondering if This tablet could pull that off.
the best thing about this tablet is that its dock keyboard adds about 2 hours more of battery life!
i initallly was looking into this because im a fan of everything else Transformer but this is truly amazing!!! I think this is the one! :) Thanks for the review. And I'm totally stealing 'holy buns' from you!
I want one of these so bad I can hardly stand it! So you should just give me yours. LOL
Great review as always.
I LOVE your detail. Liquid smooth :D
videos are so pro now. great work!!!
This was gold standard. Look at how far we’ve come lol
the screen has a much higher resolution, the back has slightly changed to allow signals to work better, and i believe it has a higher clock speed for the quad core portion of the processor.
Thanks for review! Good stuff, can't wait for Nexus review!
I love my Prime! And I can't wait to see what Jelly Bean will look like
Amazing review ;) !!
Too bad It's not available by ASUS itself since the price in Amazon is over $620 for the 32GB and over $740 for the 64GB
@marquesbrownlee definitely that high res screen is gonna look sweet and i love the 16:10 aspect ratio
well, seeing as higher resolution screens are where the market seems to be going, its probably going to be better than having a lower res screen that might be outdated by this time next year, so for me personally, if i was buying a tablet, i would be waiting for the infinity. if price is an issue, you should wait till the 22nd, because the transformer pad 300 is going on sale for a price point even lower than this one, and i believe it has the same specs
liked for the great review, subbed for the amazing taste in music
Once upon a time in my life, I thought that if I could just get my hands on this, my life would be complete.
looks good! Can't wait for the iPad 3 to come out, so the others have a new target to aim at...
that thing is better than my Nintendo 64, in terms of graphics and speed, and 3 lbs lighter.
Dream machines!!!!
HEY:)
I like love videos!! but I have a question : in what program do you make your videos?
You should wait until the Infinity comes out. It has all these useful ports that the ipad does not have. It also has a Full HD screen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio so videos will fill up the screen and not give you black bars like on the ipad.
Man, I never saw the point of having a tablet when I have a smartphone with a 4.7 inch screen which can do all the things a tablet can.......but after seeing this, I've got a mild case of tech lust :-)
im going to just wait for the infinity. when ever they decide to release it tfor the US. hopfully it will be relase sometime on Q2 2012 like most website that i found say it going to be release even tho theres no official release for it (nor price but probally it going to cost $100 more than the curtain price for the Prime im guessing)
if i never had about infinity. i would probally be typing this comment on a prime. but good things come to those who wait.
btw, great review on the prime
You have amazing videos. So glad i found you. epic review I want this!
It's over 1000!!!.... sometime in the future.
@MarquesbrownleeHey man! I love your videos! I have a question and i think it would make a great video. Here it is. I know you just got the galaxy nexus and all but before you got it. What was your old phone and how did you make it faster and more reliable? I have to samsung galaxy s 4g and I want to know what i can do to make it faster
great vid as always but witht the speaker placement you mentioned i find that when holding the tablet landscape with your hand cupping the speaker it makes it amplified and sound better xD maybe done on purpose by asus or not who knows:)
i am sold after the first 40 seconds of this video!!
excellent review brother. loving mine
