I like the idea of it being thinner + lighter to complete with iPad 2's weight + dimension.

But not quite feeling the metal casing. Just look at all those fingerprints...

14.5 hour is probably with the dock...since the original runs about 12 hours on dock

It looks cool, but exactly what would be the benefit a transparent screen?

Uhh.. T2 was just announced. It'll be awhile before the next Tegra processor let alone the T3 will be available. It'll also mainly be faster clock speeds. Probably 3rd qtr of 2012 for availability.

^they say its only gonna be 100 more then the release price of the T1 for the tablet, but expect a price increase for the docking station too

eitherway, its worth it for a hybrid with this kind of hardware

hm... I'm actually already quite entertained with my current transformer.

Metal casing I don't think so - that's just asking for scratches and smudges.

sooo my verdict...
