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

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
