2013 Transformer Infinity

[s44]

announced at Computex

Tablet:
10.1-inch display, 2560 x 1600 LED-backlit IPS display
1.9 GHz NVIDIA Tegra 4
2 GB RAM
HDMI-out port capable of 4k resolution
5 MP main camera, 1.2 MP front-facing camera
32 GB storage (hopefully, a 64GB version would be available as well)
Dual-band 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi with Miracast support
Bluetooth 3.0 + EDR
Keyboard Dock:
Multi-touch trackpad
USB 3.0 port
SDXC card reader

25*16 seems like serious overkill for 10". But if the tab+dock combo is just $20 more than HP's 1080p model, why not?

But... no ac wifi?

The million dollar question . . . what are the write speeds on the internal NAND?

Intriguing...

Yeah... my question is, "What did ASUS screw up this time?" They seem to make great tablets with one feature screwed up.

The first Transformer had problems with the speakers. The TF201 had problems with the wireless. And last Transformer had poor write speeds.

Hopefully ASUS gets everything right this time.

Why a worse camera than my TF201?

And they all had a single rear facing speaker. Have to agree with you on this though, Asus always screws up 1 features badly and it keeps them from having a truly knock out tablet.

As an owner of an Infinity, it will be my last tablet from Asus. The build quality is meh, the speakers are trash and it's lame how frequently it stutters on performance, which does improve once you start disabling the trash Asus puts on it.

Personally, I have to go Nexus or nothing

The build on my TF700 is excellent, right up there with my HTC One. The stuttering performance is caused by the slow internal memory, has nothing to do with what little bloat Asus installed. You could root and remove all of it, and it'd still stutter when anything writes more than a MB or two to the internal storage. :/

An Infinity Pad 2013 model, with decently fast NAND, the same build quality as the TF201 and TF700, with an improved speaker(front facing preferred) would be the tablet for 2013 and into 2014 easily.

Just before ASUS announced the Transformer Infinity, they were announced the PadFone Note. A phone with stereo front facing speakers. They the Infinity comes out and they don't say a word about speakers, but from the pictures you can see they are a pair of rear facing speakers.

I wonder why they can acknowledge the importance of sound quality in the phone but continue to ignore it in the tablet?

As long as the battery and flash is decent I will be interested. I don't even care if it has speakers.
