Transformer Pad Infinity News!

By now you all should’ve heard that ASUS is planning on releasing another one of their iconic Transformer branded tablets in the US soon.This new entry in the series is named the Transformer Pad Infinity (Tf 700) and will be a great upgrade since the Prime 201 and even the Pad 300; no 4-,5-, or 600 series in sight.

Now the Infinity doesn’t add a boatload of new features since the Pad 300 but it’s selling point is what it wants everyone to focus on. That selling point would be its new HD screen, with a very boastful 2+ million pixels. Ready for bleeding eyes? Also some spec updates include a revamped Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, Updated RAM, and Gorilla Glass 2.
