Infinite possibilities

The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 is the tablet the Prime should have been, with improved GPS, a great back camera, and a high-resolution, 1,920x1,200-pixel screen.

Keyboard is extra

The TF700's keyboard costs an extra $150.

Sans keyboard

If you purchase a TF700 without the keyboard, this is what you get. Giant banana background not included.

Still thin

The TF700 is just a hair thinner than the Prime.

Floating...

The somewhat cramped keyboard wouldn't be my first choice to type on, but who can resist typing on a floating tablet? Obviously, not me.

Lock it

Once the tablet slides into the keyboard dock, make sure it's locked. This one isn't fully locked.

Another improvement

The TF700's 8-megapixel back camera is the best Android tablet camera yet, with an F/2.2 aperture and wide-angle lens.

Pretending

No, really. I totally didn't pose for this shot. Really!

The family
