Move Over Samsung, Asus Is The Tablet Golden Child

In the tablet sphere, it's Asus-not Samsung-that is the company to keep an eye on.

When Apple launched the first iPad, it breathed life into a category that was presumed dead. As it quickly gained a large portion of the market, rivalling manufacturers scurried to design and produce their own tablet iteration, but Asus was the only company to truly innovate upon the form.

The first Transformer was an Android running tablet that would mount into a keyboard dock; the addition of which catered to consumers who wanted the mobility of a tablet without sacrificing the practicality of a notebook. To this market, the iPad proved inferior, and that's a feat few companies have managed to achieve.

Even then, some companies could only do so by imitating the iPad. Apple is still arguing in courtrooms around the world that Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 is a 'slavish imitation' of the Apple iPad. In Australia, the 4 month debacle fuelled a media-frenzy and helped position Samsung's tablet as the biggest threat to the iPad, ultimately giving it some credibility. But with every day that passed, the spec sheet of the 10.1 appeared less and less impressive.

In the shadows of this affair, Asus was working on its follow up to the original Transformer. With the successor, the company wanted to make a splash. They managed to do so by producing the Transformer Prime: the first tablet to feature a quad core processor and to run the new version of Android, (Ice Cream Sandwich). The combination of an unprecedented tablet processor and a newer version of Google's operating system positioned the Transformer Prime as a performance tablet not to be reckoned with.
