Asus Transformer Pad TF300 specs, price and release date have recently been revealed by ASUS UK. While this tablet rightfully belongs to the popularly elegant Transformer Pad family, it will be offered for budget-friendly prices starting early May. Reports indicate that it will be offered in three colors: Royal Blue, Iceberg White and Torch Red, although each color will be released on separate dates. But so far, the recent information from ASUS UK has slowed down the hype buildup over the device. At least, we can now set our own expectations of Asus Transformer Pad TF300 until we can have one unit in our hands.
Specs
For a budget-friendly price, you will be enjoying the power of Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2 GHz frequency. The thought that it will be sporting this powerful chip made us think that it will come close to the price of the new iPad but it was reduced to just $399 which could be a treat to someone who has been waiting for it. A 1 GB random access memory (RAM) has also been used to complement a powerful CPU and we can assure that these two major components could handle everything you throw at them. There are reports suggesting there could be two models of this device but the confirmed one is the 32 GB model which supports microSD card of up to 32 GB. So, if you are going to spend a few dollars and buy 32 GB microSD card, you will have a generous space of up to 64 GB which is more than enough.
With a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels stretched into 10.1 IPS display, this tablet will can surely entertain you with high quality videos, photos and other multimedia entertainment. And the fact that it will be operating on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) is evident that this device could offer you the best and the latest technologies available today. Also, it has an 8-megapixel primary camera capable of recording full HD 1080@30FPS videos. The secondary camera has 1.2 megapixels, just enough for video conferencing. Just by looking at these specs you will know that you will be lucky to buy this device at $399 when other devices with these same specs are offered above $450.
Price & Release Date
Again, reports said there will be a 16GB model but there is no information as to what the price would be. The only confirmed model is 32GB and that’s apparent when you try to look at the initial specs of this device. Its keyboard dock, however, will be marketed for $149. Having to purchase this dock would make Transformer Pad TF300 more like a notebook in appearance as well as function. There is no specific date mentioned by ASUS but it said the Royal Blue will be made available first in early May and we are hoping it would be in the first week of the month. The Iceberg White will be released more than a month after and the Torch Red in late July.
