Asus Transformer Pad 300 – A Quick Look – Release Date: Q2 2012

by Catalin on March 12, 2012


Those of you who attended MWC 2012 in Barcelona (or who kept an eye on some of the blogs covering the event) know that Asus revealed the Transformer Pad 300 and judging by the first few looks, the tablet looks great. 

The company has been doing well lately and they have been looking to establish themselves as a force in the market. The public and the press excellently received both their Asus Transformer Prime and the Asus Transformer and now they plan to continue that line.

The Asus Transformer Pad 300 is no slouch and aims to improve on the market share the company has and unlike the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity Series 700 who takes the Prime formula and improves it, this tablet is actually a slightly downgraded Asus Transformer Prime (probably it will be cheaper too). So let us take a quick look at the Asus Transformer Pad 300.

The Transformer Pad 300 is coming in with the NVIDIA Tegra 3 quad-core processor. We’ve seen this one in action inside the Transformer Prime and we are impressed. The Transformer Pad 300 is coming with a 10.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and 4G LTE or Wi-Fi connectivity.

You also get an 8 megapixel rear-facing camera with a F2.2 aperture and 5-element lens. There is also a 1.2 megapixel front-facing shooter for video chat.

The battery is estimated at 10 hours and if you throw in the keyboard dock, you can go up to 15 hours.

In terms of specifications, the Transformer Pad 300 looks like a great device but the question seems to be – why? What can it bring to the table which hasn’t already been shown off by the Transformer Prime?

    Hi,
    I’ve been looking to get a tablet for several months now and when I came across the Asus Transformer 300 pad, I knew I wanted it. I’m getting quite irritated though that I haven’t heard when EXACTLY it will be released. So I was just wondering if someone here can shed some light. I’m currently considering going to buy an iPad because I’m getting tired of waiting without even a date to look forward to.
    Thanks.

      Hi Brad,

      Asus hasn’t announced an exact release date just yet. They only said sometime during Q2.
