My friend has the Transformer with Windows 7 on it instead of Android. It's not a bad little set up. The screen is nice and a decent size. The keyboard is convenient and the keys big enough to be useful without being micro-moronic like some of the keyboards on a similar sized netbook. It's a bit on the heavy side. The mouse is one of those eraser tip kind that's a complete son of a bitch to use. It's completely imprecise and no amount of adjustment makes it smooth enough to use for more than very basic stuff. The mouse buttons are retardedly small and butt right up to the space bar. I still hit the space bar far more than the actual mouse buttons when I use it. For 400 bucks, it's not a bad little deal, but I agree with Apoc. For a bit extra, I'd get the iPad. The fit and finish is better, the weight is lower, and Honeycomb is still clunky compared to iOS.
