Also while the back side does a good job of resisting a finger prints, the quality screen embezzles to come to them easily. There's a 1.2 megapixel camera on the front, with a 8 megapixel camera on the back which records 10 adp video. Like with the previous Transformer, the Prime can connect to a keyboard flask duct transforming it into an Android laptop.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime (32GB, gray) Review
The good: The Asus Transformer Prime sports an iPad 2-inspired design that's even thinner and nearly as light, while also managing to include microSD and Micro-HDMI support. The Prime delivers smooth and clear 1080p video, and the 8-megapixel camera captures detail and color more accurately than any other tablet camera we've reviewed. Android 4.0 makes small but significant improvements to Honeycomb.
The bad: Not every game takes advantage of the quad-core CPU, and frame rates can suffer as a result. When connected to the dock keyboard, the tablet is top-heavy and can easily slide off a lap or table if you're not careful.
The bottom line: The Asus Transformer Prime is the best full-featured Android tablet yet, with a sexy design, thoughtful features, and an impressive camera.
