 : According to the specifications, it has what tab should have.... 

 Appearance..

Each part

 : There are so many expansion slots inclusing HDMI...USIM and so on..

With keyboard docking station

 : It just look like a notebook when it's connected to keyboard. Nevertheless, I can't do everything which I can do with a notebook computer. Yes, this is Android Pad. But at least I could feel like using a notebook computer.

2	Performance and software

 This tablet also has some special ASUS features... like other tablets. But the software updates stopped...unfortunately... after the version 4.0.1

Benchmark results of Antutu

 

: According to the results, the performance is similar with Galaxy S2. I valued the Tegra CPU high. I expected more performance than this.... but...

 You would know if you use this one directly, but it's not for high performance gaming.  

I connected a USB flash disk to this device

It recognize it as USBdisk2

You can see the Drives....

I tested copy and paste

Wow, the copying was so fast.

These are the features which ASUS pad has...

Basic information

As you see external HDD is recognized.

 : In summary, the shortcoming is the performance it self. If a software demands a little high performance, it stirred. The outcomings are the expansion. I can use it as tablet also a notebook. And the longer battery life is very good. 

 This device is recommended for Internet Video Lesson or movie watching....listening to music....
