Asus is supposed to launch the Transformer Prime tablet in the Philippines on February 16, 2012. At least that’s my impression since I’m one of the media people invited by Asus to a “Tech Seminar” scheduled on that date that’s specifically meant to launch the Asus Transformer Prime.
It appears, however, that the Ice Cream Sandwich-toting, Nvidia Tegra 3-wielding Android tablet is already available at Villman computer store. The online store of Villman lists the Asus Transformer Prime tablet with a price of P32,995 for the 32GB version. This price already includes the tablet and the keyboard dock.
The Asus Transformer Prime is the first tablet to feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It runs on an ultrafast fast 1.4GHz quad-core processor. This makes the Transformer Prime a beast when it comes to gaming and multi-tasking. And of course, this is one of the few tablets with a keyboard dock accessory that makes it a notebook alternative. Asus first used this combo on the original Eee Pad Transformer which now retails for P28,992.

Decent specs, but I won’t consider it as a notebook alternative though. Working on a 10″ display will only cause eye strain and stiff neck for me :)
haha. true.
technoboy, will u please answer? is this the suggested retail price everywhere? or is that the cheapest u can find
the launch in the Philippines was move to May. So there’s nothing definite as to official pricing. The price of Villman is just Villman’s
I’ve been waiting for this since last year December. I’m gonna go grab one seriously.
You can’t buy without dock. :(
that seems to be the case. hopefully this becomes available without the keyboard dock.
this is shit, i went to villman moa,its only for pre-order, they dont have available stock of TF201 and dont know when it’ll be available. oh man i want to buy this since xmas. cant wait!!
thanks for sharing!
Still quite pricey but it is quite a good gadget. Transformer Prime was expected to come out one more week… I guess it’s already out! YEY!
Got 1 already from HK and you can buy it without the keyboard dock. its around 25K in peso. I guess if you search more you can get it for around 22k more or less.
hi did you buy that online?
