Review Credibility: Excellent
The Transformer Pad TF300 might not offer the stunning screen or aluminum build of the Asus Transformer Prime or Transformer Pad Infinity, Kim says, but it maintains the screaming quad-core performance and still works with the excellent keyboard dock accessory for $100 less than its bigger brothers. All that earns the tablet an Excellent rating here.

Laptop Magazine gives the Transformer Pad TF300 3.5 stars out of 5. The keyboard dock and quad-core Tegra 3 processor make the tablet an excellent performer for the price if you can overlook the dim, lower-resolution screen, Smith says.

Pierce says the Asus tablet delivers great bang for the buck. "At a slightly lower price point the Transformer Pad would be an incredible steal, but even at $379 it's a great deal for what is really a great tablet," he says, although that position has been affected by the recent flood of low-cost Android devices.

The Transformer Pad TF300 earns a rating of Very Good for its productivity chops and all-around performance. However, its more budget-friendly build quality and the dim screen's inability to function well outside prevent it from achieving a higher rating.

Wollman loves the overall design and feel of the Transformer Pad TF300, but says Asus can't fix the tablet's largest stumbling blocks. "Our most serious complaint has little to do with Asus, and more with Android: Even with a state-of-the-art chip running the latest version of the OS, the tablet occasionally hiccups when launching apps and resizing web pages," she says.
