Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF701T review: The 10.1-inch tablet that features a 10 finger multi-touch support and 1.4 GHz quad-core processor promises the “best visual experience” from a tablet. In a review by CNET, it says that the unit is “packed with features...but fails to satisfy.”

Key specs of the Asus tablet include a 10.1-inch 2,560 x 1,600 pixel IGZO IPS screen, aluminum rear, Nvidia Tegra 4 quad-core processor, and 5-megapixel rear-facing camera. It has a USB 3.0 connectivity option which provides 10x faster data transfers and promises to have a battery life of up to 17 hours.

CNET notes as a plus that the tablet has great gaming performance, useful app extras and a sharp screen. It also has a Micro SD support for storage expansion. LaptopMag praises its excellent high-res screen and superior sound and calls the unit a “very good premium Android tablet.” Trusted Reviews notes that the unit is solid with a battery life that “is as good as we expected.”

Downsides for the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF701T has more to do with its design than anything else. Trusted Reviews described it as a “slightly unimaginative” update to its predecessor - the Transformer Pad Infinity. LaptopMag notes that the “Asus’ design doesn’t exactly wow” and that the TF701T is bulkier than some competing slates. CNET sees the TF701T’s design as “unnecessarily large and seems like an outdated design.”

A quick search shows that the unit could be purchased for as low as $400.00 and reviews on the overall value of the tablet is on the buy side. Tech reviewers suggest that though the design of the tablet doesn’t impress, it’s one of the best 10-inch Android tablets around.
