Asus Announces New Transformer Pad TF701T

As a recall, back to Computex 2013 last June, Asus announced the upgraded version of its flagship Android transformer series tablet - the New Asus Transformer Pad Infinity. At that time, only a few specifications about the tablet was unveiled such as an upgraded processor and screen resolution.


At IFA 2013, Berlin, Asus announced the new Transformer Pad again. Fortunately, this time the company announced with the full specifications of the tablet.

The new flagship tablet - Transformer Pad TF701T, is a 10.1 inch Android tablet with a stunning 2560 x 1600 IPS ultra-high resolution display , the latest high performance Nvidia Tegra 4 Quad-core processor and a lightweight Mobile Dock with USB 3.0 (upgraded from 1920 x 1080 FHD display and Tegra 3 Quad-core processor from its predecessor - Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T).

The new Asus Transformer Pad runs on Android 4.2, powered by a Quad-core 1.9 GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 processor with 4-Plus-1 Cortex A15 CPU, a second generation battery-saver core and a 72-core GeForce GPU.

The new Transformer Pad also features a front 1.2 MP camera and a rear 5 MP camera which was a downgrade from its previous generation of front 2 MP camera and rear 8 MP camera. But it does has Zero shutter lag and HDR (High Dynamic Range) features.

The mobile dock build-in battery extends the new ASUS Transformer Pad's battery life from 13 to 17 hours. The mobile dock also features a USB 3.0 port, SDXC card slot and a full-size keyboard with a large multi-touch touchpad.

Unfortunately, Asus has not given any pricing or availability information at the IFA event.

Would the new Transformer Pad TF701T is a worth upgrade for the Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T owner? For a better screen, upgraded processor with enhanced 72-core GPU, longer pad battery life and new mobile dock with USB 3.0, definitely a YES for me on paper. We will find out more, when it is available on the market.

 

UPDATE: The Asus Transformer Pad TF701T is priced at $449 (32 GB) and the optional keyboard dock will cost you an extra $149.
