I had a great time at the ASUS Tablet launch today at 360 bar A venue. The food was great, the company was amazing, and the new tablets that ASUS launched are a tech geeks dream come true! Walking through their displays of the ASUS Transformer Pad & Slider Pad made me die of envy. I had to stop myself from grabbing one, stuffing it in my bag, and running away with it! haha! I was hoping the whole night to win the ASUS Pad 300 that they were giving away but sadly it went to some other lucky guy.
Down below are some pictures from the event and all the information you need to know about the new ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Series & Asus Transformer Pad 300 series.
