ASUS Transformer Prime vs iPad 2, benchmark tests

Chris Burns, Dec 1st 2011 Discuss [105]

There’s so very much to say about a couple of devices when you’re comparing them, especially two titans like the iPad 2 and the Asus Transformer Prime, but what we’re going to do here is get down to some basics – namely some benchmark tests that work just as well on both iOS and Android – so that we can have a clear view of how the two work in relation to one another. We’ve got a few tests lined up here, first of all SunSpider, an internet browser-based JavaScript benchmark which tests how well your internet is going to work based on the machine more than your connection. Next there’s Rightware’s BrowserMark, another test that sits in the internet browser. Finally there’s GLBenchmark 2.1 which is one of the only apps that works on both iOS and Android outside of the browser, and frames per second across the screen is what it works with.

First we’ll get down to brass tacks on what it feels like to handle Ice Cream Sandwich and the phone Google has chosen as it’s hero device to run the system without any sort of modification from the manufacturer on top of it. Then there’s a few comparisons that need to be made – both to the top device at Apple, the iPhone 4S, and the alternate hero device from Samsung, the Galaxy S II. Devour it all here!

Tablets finally undercutting $500 iPad, but will it matter?

Chris Burns, Oct 10th 2011 Discuss [17]

As you already may well know, the iPad is not a tablet PC, it is an iPad. Thus is the brilliance of the brand-masters at Apple and thus is massive success the iPad has seen so far. What we’ve been seeing over the past few months is a welcome change on the part of many manufacturers and carriers trying to sell their tablet computers in the face of a very much iPad-saturated market: price cuts. A whole heck of a lot of price cuts, in fact, with everyone from HTC to Lenovo cutting tablet prices on carriers and in big time tablet-pushing stores like Best Buy.

Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Review

Rue Liu, Aug 8th 2011 Discuss [5]

The IdeaPad K1 is one of the first two Android tablets to come from Lenovo. It’s a competitive 10.1-inch Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet with almost all the specs you’d anticipate from a slate equipped with the NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, but attempts to standout with its own individual style, unique interface features, and a price tag that’s $100 less than its rivals.

Toshiba Thrive Review

Rue Liu, Jul 23rd 2011 Discuss [67]

The Toshiba Thrive isn’t a sexy tablet. It’s plump, homely, a little bit awkward, and although smart and supportive, you won’t be showing it off much to your buddies. But if you’re reading this review, you probably already know that. You’re considering the Toshiba Thrive because you see past a pretty exterior and a tight slender body. You want great specs inside, a good clean install of Android 3.1 Honeycomb, ample full-sized ports, and a swappable battery among other unique features.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Review (Limited Edition)

Vincent Nguyen, May 17th 2011 Discuss [68]

Samsung helped lead the Android tablet charge last year, with the original Galaxy Tab, a 7-inch slate which even Google admitted may have been released before the OS was ready. Now, with Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets like the XOOM, G-Slate and Eee Pad Transformer on the market, Samsung is back with its second attempt, the larger Galaxy Tab 10.1. Heavily reworked – even after its first official appearance – in order to better compete with the iPad 2, Samsung has high hopes that this is the slender slate to knock Apple off its pedestal. SlashGear brought back the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Limited Edition white version from Google I/O 2011 this week; check out the full review after the cut.
