Comparisons Featuring Asus Transformer TF101
Short Review
- The Asus Transformer TF101 features a solid build with dimensions of 271 x 171 x 13 mm and a weight of 680 grams, making it portable yet sturdy.
- Its 10.1-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 149 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 chipset, with a dual-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU and ULP GeForce GPU, supported by 1GB of RAM.
- The rear camera captures images at 5 MP with autofocus, while the front-facing camera is 1.2 MP for basic selfies.
- The battery capacity is 24.4 mAh, but it does not support fast charging or wireless charging.
- Running on Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and upgradable to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the software experience is relatively smooth for its time.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1, but it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The device includes stereo speakers and a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Transformer TF101 combines a functional design with moderate performance and basic camera features.
- Its specifications reflect the technology available at its 2011 release.
