Earlier this year, I purchased the asus transformer with the intention of using it for school. It was the perfect size but the only thing that annoyed me was the keyboard lag. When typing in the browser or in some documents, there was a noticeable delay between the key press and the key showing up on the screen. I sold the asus and bought a MBA for class. Here we are 6 months later and I just sold my MBA for $1050 in anticipation of getting the prime. The MBA is nice but I like the prime since I can undock the screen and use it as a tablet in the bedroom or in the bathroom lol. I am not sure if the prime has the same problem but I did do a google search and found this:
http://answers.pubarticles.com/30899,asus-transformer-prime-keyboard-lag-issue-how-to-fix-.html
Does anyone here have this problem with their dock and keyboard? I really hope Asus has fixed this problem but I'm hoping one of the gurus here can enlighten me. Thanks and have a great day!
I know ips screens tend to bleed and mine has a few spots on the left side. But how much is expected?
Pics would be nice

No screen bleed here.
Tiny bit in upper right corner for me.

The only time I notice it is on a jet black screen and it's super minimal there 1 inch wide x .25 deep.. Very faint glow
Non-issue
Very minor here. Can only see it if in a dark room AND thinking to look for it on a uniform screen... even at that... minor.
Two minor spots on the bottom right corner. Ones a little bit bigger than the other.
Right side, and bottom middle screen bleed. It is minor but still annoys me at night before bed.
Judging on how the bleed is from tablet to tablet, I blame poor action on maintaining quality manufacturing and testing. Might just be because there is very high demand as the first quad core and ASUS is just trying to keep up.
I have a feeling that tablets sold in about a month from now will be of better build quality then those being sold today.
Good thing I decided to wait and just buy the TP with keyboard dock. I figure I'll keep watch on updates for the tablet and by the time I go to buy one, the tablet will be more stable.

Think again, the original transformer tablet still has horrible screen bleed and lose casing. These were issues when the TF101 first came out and have not been resolved to this day.
I had one on release (TF101), it had bad screen bleed and the back panel was falling off. I returned it, now just last month I decided to give them another go.. Guess what? Even worst screen bleed and still the same loose falling off back panel.. The issues were the same on the two TF101 units i purchased last month.. returned both for full refund.

I said when the TF101 first released I purchased one.. It had screen bleed and loose falling off back panel, returned.
Fast forward to 1 month ago, I bought two TF101's and compared them side by side... Both had bad screen bleed and loose case (same issues I was having at release). I returned both and decided to try the TFP.
They again failed to impress me with the quality of their devices because I have screen bleed again (on the TFP), its not as bad but stacked with the other issues its pretty bad for a device like this to launch with so many problems.
Let me know if you understand, if not I can make you a child story book in color explaining it in greater detail for you Haro...

Thank goodness, you have been trolling me for awhile now and everyone else who bad mouths the TFP.
So yea, screen bleed on the TFP is a problem on some devices but with mine it isn't too bad.
Mines wasn't bad at first but gotten worst so I will exchange it asap.

@duckied: Hooray for perfect English.
Has anyone just considered that... ASUS doesn't make a good quality tablet? I've been considering Acer for a while. When I spend 500$ on something, like anyone, I want the damn thing to work. I would hate backlight bleed and crappy Wifi. Then again, 500$ for anything is a little cheap. I guess you get what you pay for. But hey, everyone likes a cheap tablet, eh?
Another thought: If the backlight bleeds that means it's hardware and ASUS can't do much to fix that. Anyone know how bad Samsung tablets are? I'm trying to think of some manufacturers who've been making tablets a little longer than ASUS.
Oh, and can anyone post a picture of their screen bleed? I'm very interested to see how bad it is. The quad core tegra 3... it beckons.

Only time I can see the minor screen bleed I have is during the asus boot animation so I'm out on the one. I wouldn't let the negative reviews here get you down. Other than the GPS my tablet is perfect. The wifi almost keeps up with my desktop.

I figure I'll still wait for a while. Maybe after it gets the ICS update.
That is the question. How many of you are just purchasing the tablet and why?
The added benefits of the dock are self explanatory but are they worth the additional 150 dollars to you?
I wonder if working professionals would find the dock as more of a necessity? I may eventually purchase the dock due to the fact that it would work very well in my current job functions.

I'm a student and the dock and tablet combo is a must-have for me. had the xoom, but taking lecture notes on a touchscreen is too difficult. Used the og transformer w/dock all last year, and it was awesome combo. used as just a tab when couch surfing, and used as netbook when at school.
The tablet + dock combo works way better than a laptop for me for a couple reasons, my laptop is heavier, and battery life sucks, so i constantly have to find an outlet at the library which are always taken up.
PS: In the future please put any questions in the Q + A thread. i noticed u used the xda app, and like me when in favs u never noticed the QA section was made. U have to log in/out and redo the favs to get it to show.
I've pretty much decided that if it weren't for the dock, I'd probably get an ultrabook and a Kindle Fire. The things I'm using a tablet for would be well enough served by a smaller/cheaper tablet, while I need something light with good battery life and physical keyboard for writing. The Prime+dock works well for that, but an ultrabook would work well enough (albeit so for for about $1100).
Note that the writing I'm talking about is draft copy, so I tend to just put words into Evernote and then copy/paste to Word on the desktop for formatting/finishing work. If I needed something to produce finished work with, the Prime+dock wouldn't work.
Actually, The price is just perfect...
think of it this way:
1- If you wanna buy an external battery pack it will cost you around 40-50 $
2- Bluetooth keyboard 30-50 $ minimum
3-USB dongle for USB host 15$ (still not available btw)
4- a stand for the tablet 5-10$
5-adding to that the SD Card slot
All in all you will end up paying around 120$ for much worse quality & convenience for the same functionality. It just makes the prime so much better.
I just want the tab, already have a laptop complete with keyboard. A thought comes to mind, why not a sliding kb like the phones which can be slipped on/off, less footprint. If some smart hacker can figure out how to exploit the theremin effect, a touchless keyboard with aural feedback come become reality. We need new technologies and innovation folks, push the envelope!

asus makes a sliding keyboard version of the OG transformer, i'd guess it's only a matter of time so long as that model did well in sales.
personally i found it to be kind of awkward when i played with it at the store, the dock at this size makes more sense to me and has the added functionality of ports and battery.
The only reason I'm getting a Prime is damage to my TF101.
The only reason I got the TF101 was the dock.
I use it like a netbook was originally intended to be (and like modern tablets excell at), not like a laptop or desktop.
I like the battery gain.

Same here. I wouldn't buy a tablet that didn't have this functionality
I cant justify the cost of the dock. I got the tp mostly as a textbook reader and something to carry around the hospital where i work. Screen quality + thinness + good battery was most important for me.
Ironically I purchased a tablet so that I get less distracted and limit my typing speed so that I am forced to read. I have a 3.2lb ultraportable full voltage i5 Toshiba R835 laptop already with 8 hour battery, but I get too distracted because its just so fast and easy to use. I browse around aimlessly, so i have been using tablets to take away the bad habit. I cant switch between pdf book to webbrowser with 5+ tabs as easily and I cant chat too quickly so in the end I get smarter from these limitations.
I originally bought the TFP because of the dock to ween myself off of laptops.Ive had it almost three weeks now and am still trying to get hold of a KB...Guess what??..not sure I want one now..I love my Prime and have been very comfortable bed/couch/patio surfing etc..I am interested in gaming with a controller but not sure if thats worth the $150 now..
Dock is the only reason I'm buying Prime. I would not buy a tablet with weak WiFi, non-existent GPS and just 1GB RAM otherwise. I'm using it to replace my netbook that I mainly use for movies, internet browsing and casual note-taking. Battery life is also a huge factor to me in comparison to my current netbook.
I picked up the Prime mainly due to battery and dock. I needed something cover conventions such as E3 and CES without having to worry about plugging it in halfway through they day.. It's the reason I had the original one as well.
I"m debating on ordering one now too. But I mostly surf and game but it would be nice to be able to type faster with a dock when I'm on the forums. What I'm wondering if once docked will I be able to play games just as well or would it just get in the way?
I got the Prime because I could get a Dock for it. I like the Extra Battery and the USB port that the Dock offers

Pulled the trigger then cancelled. Is it true that's it'll be too top heavy with the tablet docked? I usually use the tab on my lap or sitting on my abdominal area when laying down. There are times its on my bed when I'm sitting up so for the most part the screen will be tilted back a little. I think the dock will end up just getting in the way or annoying me since the entire thing will fall on its back a lot.

It' really isn't top-heavy to the point where it's impractical or falling over all the time. I spend a majority of my work day with it on my desk opened up in laptop form and the screen tilted back. There's enough weight in the dock to hold it down, and it still takes quite a bit of force to push it to make it fall over.
I just got my Transformer Prime (first tablet) its been great, everything i expected except for a small problem on the right side, volume rocker side, the bevel seems to by somewhat coming out of the rest of the casing (back plate). Is this something i need to be overly concerned about?
It works fine, it's just that i really notice it when i hold the Pad with my left hand. Thanks

Unfortunately there are many quality control issues with this model.
I too had the left side glass raised and unglued. Add that to the bad screen bleed, yellowish tint, lint inside the glass, dead pixels, no gps bad wifi, blah blah....return it after 2 days. Never had a product so badly build by asus (or any other co.)like this one.
With hope that infinity would have better QC... that, my friend will be wishful thinking...
Lets hope others like samsung can release a dock like the prime.

Is the entire front assembly flexing out, or the glass itself is actually coming up from the plastic frame? Of course you may not be able to tell.
IMO I'd try again until I got a better one, because they are out there. Could try RMA'ing it for them to fix it (run a chance of it being broken and blamed on you or outright replaced with a newer unit, just in a longer amount of time than returning). But if you're willing to open the Prime after a while, then you could probably fix it yourself in a matter of minutes.

It just comes up a little on the side nothing overly major. Not actually really noticeable until i press on it and feel it
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Yeah, I stand by my opinion then, I'd swap it out or return and buy another. I don't think it will get worse, but either it wasn't adhered to the plastic frame properly, or one of the little tabs that helps keep it closed was broken in the factory/during shipping. Not knowing which one means the longer you wait the more risky it becomes to claim it as a manufacturing defect.

I would also swap out this Prime for another one.
There have been reports of people's screens suddenly cracking, and all kinds of while theories why. Personally I think that it has to so with the screens being warped by a broken clip, or a slightly bent Prime. If your screen sticks out enough to cause a noticeable flex it might be at risk for one of those sudden cracks. Exchange it while you are still within your return period.
Swap it out. It will either; get worse as time goes on, or you will be annoyed by it eventually.
Asus needs to clean up these QC issues, the more returns, the more fixes they will put into their manufacturing process.

Well, that's how most would do it lol not ASUS.
They'll keep the exact same production going on and just keep swapping them out until we just don't even want to try anymore or actually luck out with a device some random Chinese/Taiwanese worker was proud to finish up.
Look at anything they make and sell, and you'll find their crappy QC/QA is pretty universal and normal CS to be a joke.

I would exchange with BB personally, smaller turn-a-round and so long as you insist to speak with a manager you'll likely be able to test the unit before even accepting it as a replacement. They're very aware of the Prime's issues.

What do you like best about your dock? What don't you like?
Is the extra battery awesome? Does it add a lot of weight? What reasons did you buy it for? What reasons do you love it now that you have it?

I like it, I plan on using it for school productivity. Notes and also splashtop my PC and do powerpoints etc.
Congrats and I know how it is getting permission from the wife to get new toys.
I love the extra battery life. And when I go to cafes I can set it on the table and type rather than hold it or set the tablet on its back. Love the looks from people too when I undock it.
Don't know how I lived without it.

Heh heh I've pulled that trick. Then I hold up both pieces and say oh no oh what have I done!!!
I never thought I'd use the dock but decided to give it a try and i turns out i love it. There are a few apps I use that only can be used in portrait mode and the dock makes those a little cumbersome to use but otherwise it's great. Extra battery life along with the SD card slot and usb is frosting on the cake, Beat that iPad. I;ve never looked back at dumping my iPad. Hate iOS love Android. Get the dock you'll not be sorry.

Great addition that compliments the Prime in all ways
First of all I think it's safe to say that the dock completely surpassed my expectations.
Build quality is top notch and has he exact same finish as the tablet itself.
The hinge is super high quality. Really gives you confidence when docking the tablet, it also makes a very obvious click sound when docking.
The extra battery life is a great feature.
SD card and usb slot very useful.
Typing is very comfortable, a lot more comfy than I thought it would be.
When docked and closed the Primes screen is kept safe (big plus).
It also is useful for keeping the prime at very comfy using angles, even if you don't actually need to use the keyboard.
I find myself using the dock a lot more than I thought I would.
The only thing I don't like is that the key mapping works best
on the built in Asus keyboard.
When you use any other keyboard the key mapping isn't great.
So I find myself having to switch to the Asus keyboard every time I dock the Prime, which is kind of annoying.
All in all the dock is one of the Prime's best features. Really love it. Gives you a great and somewhat unexpected (for the good) experience.
I love it, it's faster to type, the battery never ends and certainly looks much better!
Awesome! These are the responses I was hoping for! I'm super excited to get mine! I'm really excited for pretty much all the features. Can't wait to set my emulators back up now that I can have it at a nice angle without holding it. I need to start looking into some high density SD cards too. This 32gb micro is nice but now I can get full size.

I love mine & typing is a breeze on it.It actually has changed my view of tablets now.As I will only buy a tablet that docks with a keyboard from now on.Coming from a Motorola XOOM this baby is badass.People freak out when I show it to them then detach the tablet from the dock lol.
I love my dock. Completely awesome. USB port, battery, holding the Prime together.. Just be careful about stressing your Prime when opening / closing. I have the start of a crack on it, otherwise fully fonctional Prime, and I beleive it might be related to the opening and closing stress on the glass. See other thread, " I cracked my Prime " or something. There is a bunch of us usimg the dock that got that problem, while being as gentle with our Primes as with newborn kittens. Otherwise, it beat any currently available combination of bluetooth keyboard + tablet. It fully replace my laptop.

Any picture of where the crack is starting to appear??
When I present it to friends in the docked form... they like it, but not really excited. In the moment I undock it they freak out. Lots of working collegues and friends travel alot and are it freaks... the idea of a tablet AND an ultrabook in one freaks them out. One guy ordered it just after it. No negative feedback till now, all find it an amazing idea.
Yeah I was hesitant at first, but I came around. I'm getting very excited for it. If I can figure out how to cool my tegra 3 properly the extra battery life will be great when I get to 2ghz lol.
Edit: anyone have a list of do's and dont's for the dock? Like certain ways to open or close. Also at night should I plug in the dock and put the tablet in to charge?

It's kinda weird, every android phone I have owned has been rooted within days of purchase.
With the TFP I just didn't find a reason or feel the need to root. Everything just worked perfectly out of the box.
First reason to root.
Thanks for that.

EDIT: works good. But with thumb keyboard as my default it looks like a I didnt need to change back to android keyboard since layout didnt change. I was hoping the backspace key would finally act as back button like it does on a PC.
I love it. The extra battery life is always welcomed. Typing on a normal keyboard is easier and faster for me. Plus the USB port comes in handy for transfering files on a USB drive or plugging in a USB gamepad for a game
havent taken it out of the dock in 2 weeks now. i love it
Sold out on amazon again! Now resellers want 200 for it lol. Glad I snagged one when I did!
