Whatever, I just got a Transformer Prime and wouldn't exchange it (or any other comparable Android tablet) for ten iPads.

Well, I would, and then I would sell them and get another Android tablet. I haven't liked a piece of equipment so much in ages.

When'd you get your Prime? I attempted to purchase one for my girlfriend for Christmas and it was a big mess of a problem that I don't ever want to deal with again containing canceled after canceled preorders and finally after getting the device having it force reboot and lose WiFi every time it went to sleep until ASUS pushed an update weeks later.

I went to Best Buy two days ago, when I came in the US, bought one in a few minutes and left. I have zero issues with it (maybe a little bit of graphical flickering for a few ms in the recently used programs list).

I have the Asus Transformer 101, been using it since May 2011 and its been just great. Looking forward to eventually getting a Prime or one of its successors.

Same here! Combined with the keyboard dock, the Prime is really awesome. I totally replaced my laptop with that.

I have an Air, so I didn't need the dock, but from what I've seen, it's definitely very easy to replace your laptop with one, especially if you don't do anything weird like programming or whatnot. It's fantastic for checking emails, browsing the web, etc.

I want it for watching shows and browsing the web, which was a bit overkill, but I figured I'd indulge myself. I love it, though.

I love my Transformer! I wouldn't give it up for an Ipad...
