By Charles E.
Ok, for starters, I'm not some blind fan-boy trying to boost the hype behind this thing. I'm more the type to tear it down if it wasn't worth every penny I paid for it. I have been using Android for several years and am very familiar with it's pros and cons.
I have to say, honestly, I haven't touched my laptop or netbook and have barely used my phone (for anything other than calls) since I got my Infinity (and dock.) Truth be told, I'm using it to write this review.
Display: The display on this thing is nothing short of beautiful. I've always loved the idea of watching movies on my back patio. Unfortunately, it's been a headache-producing, eye-squinting nightmare on every tablet, computer, phone and portable DVD player I've owned...until now. I intentionally loaded it up with Resident Evil: Apocalypse (because of the many dark scenes in it) and headed for the back yard. After being thoroughly impressed with how well I could see the movie, I decided to walk around the yard with it, in the midday sun. Only then did I have to turn on IPS+ to see the darker scenes and it worked perfectly. This display renders colors very true (not over-saturated or washed out) and blacks and whites are BLACK and WHITE. Text is crisp far smaller than I'd ever be willing to spend any time reading.
Speed: I don't know what else to say but it's very VERY fast. I've loaded over 225 apps of many different varieties on it, so I'd say I've put it through its paces. Now, I'm not saying that you won't have a sluggish moment here or there. What I AM saying is that if you do, it's probably the app you're using that's to blame. A poorly written app can cause a plague of problems on any device. I have a couple of apps that I'm willing to forgive shortcomings for because of functionality they offer but I can say that their shortcomings aren't nearly as apparent on this tablet as they have been on any of my other Android devices.
Battery: If I beat it REALLY hard, I can kill the battery (tablet only) in about 6 hours. My version of beating it really hard is multi-tab web browsing with Flash turned on, switching back and forth between several other apps, installing apps, downloading from my Box.net account, playing some games, using a remote desktop client, etc. All the while running either native movies or YouTube streams in Stick It Player (resize-able, floating, video player window that renders on top of whatever app you have open.) If I use it like most people would normally use a tablet, I can easily break the 10 hour mark (tablet only.) With the dock (I'm using the Prime dock,) I get anywhere between 9 and 16 hours of use out of it.
Dock: I'm using a Transformer Prime TF201 dock because A) It has a bigger battery than the Infinity dock and B) it was about $50 cheaper than the Infinity dock. It works perfectly. All of the ports, the keys, the charging, etc. work exactly as they should. One thing is, it's a little bit tighter of a fit but all that really means is that there's less play and you have to manually slide the lock over to secure it.
Cameras: Front-facing is great for video chat (tested with Google+ Hangouts and Skype) and the rear-facing takes absolutely beautiful pictures. I'm almost willing to consider being "that guy" who uses his tablet instead of a camera.
Bottom Line: I haven't found a single thing I dislike about this tablet. It really is everything they say it is, which is rare in this day and age. I would happily buy this tablet again.
Edit: Now that I've had it long enough for the newness to wear off enough that I'm actually willing to put it down once in a while, I'm getting 12-13 hours of battery life on the tablet alone and 17-18 with the dock. Again, results may vary but I'm still at the heavy end of the usage spectrum, so I don't foresee anyone having to worry about finding an outlet in the middle of the day.
EDIT #2:For Christmas, my wife bought me a Sandisk Ultra 64 GB micro SDXC card. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QZH6JS/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i03
I have tested it in both SD slots and the USB port (via USB card reader) and it works in all three. Apparently there are some SDXC cards that aren't working properly with the Infinity, so I thought I should post a link to one that does. DO NOT reformat this card. It works perfectly right out of the box with the standard exFAT format it comes with.

This device is very slick in both style and design. I would compare it to the elegance of the Ipad. The device is also very light, and I have no problems holding it hours on end. Even while reading e-books and supporting it on my chest its lighter then a real book. Watching 1080p videos on this is incredible and the built-in speaker sounds pretty good too.
We also have a Plex Media server in our house. I installed the Plex Android Client on the tablet and tried streaming both 720 and 1080 content. The streaming performance was outstanding. Not one glitch even when moving from floor to floor. The other cool thing is you can do is output the tablets video through the micro-hdmi connector to your TV. Wow. We have a a TV in our basement that's not connected to cable so I decided to try it. It was just like having a blu-ray player on the TV! I also tried Netflix, Hulu and Crackle. Both performed without any issues. I can't wait to travel for work with this thing! No more boring nights in the hotel room.
I'm not a big gamer, but if you go into the TegraZone app download a game called "Dead Trigger". You won't believe the graphics.
When I bought this I knew it didn't have cellular conductivity, but that didn't bother me since I always carry my Android phone. What you need to do if you don't have WiFi, but have a phone with data is install a tethering app on your phone. This allows your phone to function as a WiFi access point to which your tablet can connect to. I use this on my quite a bit with my laptop. The tablet works the same.
I recently got the keyboard dock and this really extends the functionality of the device. For one if your typing quite a bit the keyboard vs the screen is much more productive. Two, the dock also has another battery which extends the battery life to 14.5. It also contains an SD card slot and a USB port. I bought the TF201 dock which is used on the older "Prime" unit, but it does work on the "Infinity". This will save you $50 if you want the dock. Use Goggle there blowing out the old docks for $99 bucks.
Updates
-------
Asus recently announced that Jelly Bean is coming for this device in the next few months! :)!
The latest firmware update from 7-28-12 fixed the slow usb transfer speeds. ver: 9.4.5.26
Pros:
Super fast performance.
Love the IPS screen mode when using the tablet outside.
Touch is very accurate.
Screen size is perfect for reading a full size html website and ebooks.
Outstanding Video performance.
Front and rear cameras. Quality seems pretty good, but not as good as standalone camera.
GPS performance is great, even inside my house. I use the CoPilot app.
Side button placement does not interfere with your hand placement irregardless of the tablets orientation. The buttons also take a good amount of pressure to engage, thus when its sitting on something (like your lap) the button wont accidentally get pressed.
WiFi conductivity is excellent. No problems connecting and maintaining connections. Signal strength is great.
Cons:
No 5Ghz wireless N support. Only 2.4 Ghz is supported.
Not running the latest Android OS (Jelly Bean).
Internal speaker is on the back of unit. Sound is muffled if its laying down on a table.

I've been waiting for a true high resolution tablet for a while mostly because I will use this to browse news sites/Google Maps and I prefer a screen with more resolution/definition.. This tablet actually has more resolution than a full-HD (1900x1080) screen , it is a WUXGA (1920x1200). Well, I'm very glad I waited. The screen is just beautiful with excellent viewing angles and coincidentally has as much screen real-estate as each one of my desktop's three 24-inch DELL monitors (exactly 1920x1200). One of my Dells is on portrait (vertical) mode for viewing entire websites at once (and 1:1 PDF's) and let me tell you, the TF700 is as good if not better due to the increased density (ppi) and flexibility. I'm truly impressed. I know the New iPad has slightly better resolution but I'm definitely a Google person and am heavily invested into the Google ecosystem (my phone, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Voice, GDrive, etc) so iOS is not even an option.
It is obvious to me that the TF700 is what the transformer Prime should have been; everything has been fixed and improved here. I did find some cons, though but first let me list the pros:
PROS
-beautiful true HD screen, very bright and responsive
-excellent WiFi reception, I get 14 Mbps (2.4Ghz band) and 5 bars in places where my other devices (Galaxy Nexus,
laptop, iPod Touch) only get 3-4 bars
-best GPS reception I've seen. I was able to lock 11 satellites in less than 10 seconds in my kitchen (with a
regular double pane window)! My Nexus only locks 8.
-really fast UI (Ice Cream Sandwich), not as fast as my Galaxy Nexus phone with Jelly Bean (Android 4.1.1) but way
better than other tablets I've used. Most important to me, there is no UI overlay to slow down things, just pure
Android experience the way Google envisioned it.
-really nice oleophobic screen coating, minimal if any fingerprints noticeable after heavy use.
CONS
-proprietary 40-pin USB connector, really ASUS? really? Adding one more connector to worry about.. just when I
thought micro-USB was king. I suspect the connector is necessary for the dock but it is such a pitb. I have 5
micro USB chargers strategically placed around my house and cars but with this one ASUS threw me a monkey-
wrench!
-no 5Ghz WiFi-N band! a real disappointment. 5Ghz may not have the wall-penetrating power of 2.4Ghz but
it is way faster than 2.4Ghz. Even my Galaxy Nexus phone has a N-5Ghz band that gets up to 25Mbps WiFi speeds.
-comes with some ASUS bloatware. Some you can disable thanks to ICS but some you cannot.
Let me add something about the speaker. The sound is very clear, sharp and fairly loud for its size. The fact that it is behind near the tapered bezel can make it difficult to hear if you put your hands over it however, this would ALSO happen even if they put the speaker(s) on front. The sound itself is technically good for a tablet this thin and sleek. It seems to me that they had to compromise with the location because there is no space on the front side (full glass surface) and moving it to another side would make no difference since people will use it on both portrait and landscape orientations. People should be realistic regarding their expectations.
So, is this the perfect tablet? there is no such a thing and I can almost assure you there will never be one but as of now, summer of 2012, this is the best Android tablet your hard earned money can buy. Overall this is an excellent tablet and I'm very happy I waited.
