    Having a tablet would make them very happy... afterall, Angry Frogs (yes frogs, check it out!) on a 3.5" screen isn't as much fun compared to a tablet's larger screen!!!!!

    I'd use a Honeycomb tablet for playing games for when I don't have enough time to sit down and get into the multi-hour play sessions.

    I'd also use it for reading frequently visited websites (such as this one) before going to bed.

  • eezip - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    So would I. I'd take it with me on business trips - it seems like a good size to fit on a plane. It would also be fun for testing out and troubleshooting my company's apps before they're released.
  • donflamenco - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    yes, me.
  • BiH115 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    Tablets are where the future is going!

    Come back here right after the time cutoff, and look at the number of comments. That should be about what your chances are.

    Anyway:
    The Eee Pad will be great while waiting for planes, or even on planes. Less cumbersome than a traditional laptop, while still allow quick communication, catching up on news, checking seats, and the like.
  • themossie - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    It would be for me as well. I've wanted to try Android for quite some time, but my iPhone works just as well. Tablets on the other hand, I think Android Honeycomb makes better use of the form-factor, just haven't had the money to buy one.

    I currently work at a state university and due to budget cut-backs they can't afford to buy me a tablet I need for my job. I would love to use it for work and for personal.

I just moved and can't really afford a tablet but I'd love one.

I would also use it for school, since the tablet plus its dock can give me more than 10 hours of battery. And of course, watching some Netflix :)

    I use an HP Envy15 for this now, but the device can be quite cumbersome and has no battery life which means I'm replugging everywhere I go.

    Finally, it would replace the old iphone 2G woogie as the "Oh my god, the 2 year old is going crazy and we still have an hour to drive" device.

    It would replace my laptop as the "around the house" computer. I'd use it for recipes when cooking, have it on the coffee table to look things up while watching TV and browsing or reading in bed. Oh, and angry birds in the crapper.

    I would user this for the obvious reasons of web surfing and playing with apps, but the most exciting and useful feature would be reading my comics on a tablet. Use my girlfriend's nook color and I am addicted to reading comics on tablets now.
  • Edshugeo - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd use it to read comicbooks and maybe take over the world.

  • csmuda - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    With the flat back both of these would lie fairly well on a coffee table and would wipe clean quite easily. The tempered glass surface might make a nice cutting board, but I'd worry about food getting stuck in the various parts. Alternatively, depending on how low a door is hung these would make excellent stops if inverted.
  • RLM2 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    It would make a nice replacement for my aging Compaq Pentium III laptop.

  • RotagFU - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    When going on business travel, I often have to take 1 or 2 business laptops already. Since it is policy to keep personal use separate from business use, it would be nice to bring a small tablet like this for personal e-mail and web browsing so that I don't have to use the company laptops or lug another personal laptop. I should be able to easily fit this in my laptop bag.
  • aeolist - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd use it mostly for mobile RSS and forum reading
  • dmrusoff - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    As a network engineer, this would be useful remote access to servers, fixing problems on the go. Access to the web while on job sites while installing/troubleshooting network related issues. Want to get a pluggable cisco console cable/interface working on android for configuration.

    Home use for daily surfing/email/streaming video from home computer. Control interface for home automation and security system. Also video chat with my wife's family in Brazil.

    I would have a much easier time in meetings. I do a lot of meetings at my work and sometimes I need a much longer battery life in order to project presentations for our clients and take notes. Having a tablet will really ease things along and absolutely adore the Asus Transformer and Samsung Galaxy Tab. Fingers crossed!

    I'd love to own one of the Asus Transformers. My wife just purchased one for "sofa browsing" - those times when you don't want to run to your desktop or laptop, and the phone browser is too small. Also useful for the times when you need to browse an Adobe Flash based site.
  • poonsmjj - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd like one please!! Transformers.... robots in disguise!!!
  • one random winner - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    It'd be awesome for a number of things, primarily because my wife could use it to do all the things she currently uses our laptop for, especially with the keyboard attachment.
  • gr0w1er - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I don't know how I'd use it, because my wife would take it from me. She'd use it as a Kindle reader, PDF reader/markup, delivering slides during lectures, and occasionally so she and our daughter could video chat with me more easily when I am on travel.

    I've been wanting to try a tablet PC to see if it would make a good grad school replacement for my ancient laptop. My needs are pretty basic: web, email, video, and running lots of presentations. I'd also like to try a capacitive display with a stylus and see if it can replace good old pen and paper for taking notes. Unfortunately, even at $400 the cost is hard to justify, especially on a grad student stipend (and since spiral bound notebooks only cost $.99). I can't think of a better way to start than these. Fingers crossed!

    I would use the Transformer to replace the ancient (2004) laptop I have been using since the screen died on a slighty more recent laptop.

    I was glad to see that companies like Asus decided to increase the utility of tablets by adding a detachable keyboard. My kids like touch screens, but I'm an old codger.
  • Hermetic - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Without a doubt should I be fortunate enough to win, I'd re-gift it to my future brother-in-law who has been yapping about these for a couple months now. I'd even benefit by keeping my wallet from taking a financial hit.
  • sigvoror - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I have a desktop for many of my school needs (studying Computer Security), however I personally put a lot of my focus for papers and research into Android/smartphone security. While I have two smartphones to test security on; I do not have a tablet. Since I do not have the money to buy a tablet on my own, winning the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer would help with my scholastic studies. I would also be able to use it for note taking since it has the Polaris Office suite installed.
  • Mhotspot - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use a tablet in class to take notes and also hold power points. I would also use it to design the new apps i hope to create in the near future :)

    Here are a few ways I'd use a tablet;

    1. Listen to my audio library using subsonic, as well as watch my video collection using the same app.

    2. Use the table to read the bible using youversion.com's excellent bible app, and take notes at church and conferences with springpad. Current;y using my phone for this, but notetaking is not on such a small screen.

    3. Use it to stream some TV from my HDHomerun box into whichever room I want it. Woot!

    Would love to win one of these! Using a tablet would transform my casual internet usage experience. I could use this to access the internet for all of those little spur of the moment things anywhere in the house or out and about instead of having to get to a pc, use my HUGE laptop, or compromise with a mobile site on my phone!
  • hyl334 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

  • AAgent - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use the Transformer to connect with my wife and child while I'm traveling for work as well as manage work documents without a clunky laptop. I use Google Docs all the time and everyone is impressed with how quickly I can get things done because I can manage the documents for free from my phone wherever I am. A honeycomb tablet would make document editing easier and presentations even better! I could also have a nice personal theater on the planes, being the envy of the sky! Too bad my company will not supply these awesome tablets. My clients would sure be impressed with Honeycomb!
  • bigrobsf - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    If I win this tablet, I will use it for good, and not evil. I will not use it to plan a secret underground base complete with henchmen. I will definitely not use it to place a giant laser on the moon. Most certainly I will not have it aid me in using that laser to destroy the planet Mercury.

  • James550 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd like to say that such a device would increase my productivity and make me a more intelligent and handsome person but I'm fairly certain that about 90% of its usage would come from surfing fine sites like this during my daily tech-porn/reading sprees with a side of Google facilitated mailing/conversing.
    So, with the addition of a tablet to my life, I guess that my tech knowledge would be set to increase and my productivity via email/chat would skyrocket. Not sure that it would help with the handsome (unless I held it up in front of my face)...I made myself sad.

  • TheTurboFool - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    The battery life of these things kills notebooks, and the form factor's a lot more convenient. I'd likely pick up the keyboard add-on to double the battery life and bring it with me to conventions or various meetings. It would make note-taking, web browsing, and goofing off during the boring parts a lot easier and get a little attention in the process.

    As I have an overclocked desktop for all my gaming and 3D applications, I would probably use the tablet for browsing the interwebs. I have a Google Nexus One (Android ver. 2.34) and I am curious if the extra horsepower of the tablet would give the OS some legs!

    What happened to "unfortunately extending the contest rules outside of the US is a bit more than we're able to reliably handle today. That's not to say that we won't at some point in the future, we just have little experience doing such things and don't want to get burned early on."?

    Other sites seem to have no problem with this. It has been well over a year now and the above excuse seems a bit lame at this point, which is probably why it is no longer included in the rules!

  • wyrmslair - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    For me, tablets are a way to read either websites like Anandtech (which I've been doing for 14 years or so) or other portals like yahoo, newspapers, etc. as well occasionally watch videos or listen to music or podcasts. Oh, and I guess there's always angry birds and good ol' backgammon. This is why I've been waiting for an inexpensive solution to justify itself so I can stop buying newspapers at $0.75 a day. A convertible like the eee transformer could end up being useful for a number of other things too like writing or work, so it's a good value add but price is going to be a factor when Android's forced use of cloud and network over direct connection of devices like printers and external drives is a pain to deal with.

    As a student finishing undergraduate and moving toward graduate studies, being able to access files both on the go and at home is vital. Because I travel frequently, I need to be able to work in vehicles, on planes, and in places like hotels and other schools. An Eee Pad Transformer would be ideal for allowing productivity (and maybe a little fun/showing off!) Also: can't afford one myself; I have to pay for school..

    I'd love to have a Transformer tablet for the convenience of a couch computer. Often, I'll be watching tv and see an actor/actress and be like where did I see him/her before or hey, here's a trailer on this blurary/dvd for a movie. Maybe I should add it to my netflix queue. Or hey, there's a product I should look up or what's the weather like. There's a lot of spur of the moment type things where I don't watn the hassle or wait of booting up a pc or laptop. I want the convenience of instantly looking it up at the couch or the bedroom for that matter.

    I am looking for this to be a quick and easy internet capable appliance for those times when I just don't want to meander over to the computer.

  • Baenwort - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd be interested in indulging my love of classic gaming via DosBox with the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer. A great advantage I see in this tablet over all the others is the docking accessory. I haven't purchased any tablets yet because I could not see any functions that one would add over a 5" screen smartphone and a desktop.

    I think this one might convince me to change my mind if someone gets DOSBox to work for Honeycomb as the screen is just large enough for that and the Tegra 2 should be powerful enough for DOS games.

    My wife would love to have this. She can use this to video chat with our family abroad through the entire house without having to carry around a laptop! Plus all she does on the lappy is facebook and browsing, for which this would be awesome. Plzzzz
  • Haipapa - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    My kids would use this for school / educational flash sites.

  • donkiluminate - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would give it to my little sister.

  • elessar25 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Great form factor. Very intuitive. Would definitely use this for both consumption and productivity.
  • techfiend4 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    ANANDTECH IS AWESOME!!!!! i would use the tablet for my hobby and college! I fix computers for my hobby. So i do alot of remote support as well and need a tablet for this. i have been using the samsung captivate for remote support but is to small for big jobs or college. As most people know college can suck you dry. i make enough from my hobby to survive so i can goto school full time. i would love to have this for school as well. easier to carry then a laptop.
  • NonFriendlyUser - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would probably use this for multimedia purposes. Watch movies, listen to songs, play games, etc. Although i could take notes with this in my classes.

  • solinear - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I have four children and they all use computers for education. Currently we only have 2 computers. This tablet would allow me to have at least one more of them to work on their Khan Academy every day.

    My 10 and 11 year old children are working on complex multiplication (3-5 digit numbers) and pre-Algebra, while my 6 year old is doing long addition and subtraction and starting on single digit multiplication already, so this would be a huge boon for my family!
  • bdheard - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

Asus has done a great job shaking up the tablet market by coming out with an offering with these specs and a $399 price tag. The ability to turn it into a full on netbook with the keyboard attachment is really the icing on the cake.

    My wife and I can't afford a tablet quite yet, though we do desperately need one. Our laptop is on it's way out, our desktop is already offline and there's little room in the budget for replaceents.

    So this would basically serve our most basic computing needs at home, perhaps even after we get the laptop and desktop fully back online. My wife in particular really only ever uses facebook, email and web. So a tablet is perfect for her needs especially.

    Thanks for considering my entry.

  • SamuelFigueroa - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    We used to have one computer for each member of the family. One got stolen, one wouldn't turn on at all, and my son wiped the keyboard of our laptop with a wet cloth, so now it behaves as if a key is permanently stuck in the down position - disconnecting the keyboard also disconnects the power button. Now, we're down to just two. Our children pretty much use both all the time. (In the old days, kids used to take over the phone.) So I need a (tablet) computer to check on e-mail, read AnandTech, etc. My eyes are too old for the tiny screen on my phone.
  • xxerexx - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Currently using a seven+ year old laptop. Only able to run Ubuntu and XP on it. If I won I'd use this for school mostly. Taking notes, recording lectures (voice & picture). Especially with my upcoming circuits class. I could then use this to design circuits while following along with the professor. Would make it a hell of a lot easier to be able to draw them out on a tablet rather than using my mouse.

    I would use this tablet/netbook like it was my job. Oh wait, it is. Imagine this...I work in web/software development and I do not own a laptop, tablet, smartphone, or even a cellphone. I'm serious, I owned an LG Chocolate like 4 years ago for about a year. That's my expertise in the mobile market. I do, however, have a 5ghz 2700K with SLI at home, on an asus mobo I might add, but that's a little clunky to be carrying around.

    Owning this sweet little piece of technology would literally transform my life. Can you say android development? Booya!!!

    I would use my Honeycomb tablet to be my product to write my first tech review. From there I would go to reviewing and commenting on all things tech, eventually building a huge journalistic empire. During this rise to the top, I would buy AnandTech.com for a hefty sum (think 10 figures). After decades on top, I would decide to step down from the board and the company would fall apart due to poor management (nepotism never works). My fortune, heavily invested in company stocks, would evaporate . I would die penniless, sadly clutching the tablet that started the whole trip.

    Or, I'd just show all my friends that there is indeed competition to Apples iPad.

    3. Casual web browsing from the couch.
    4. E-Reader for my soon to be wife, as she has always wanted one, but can't warrant spending the money, and won't let me get one for her either...

    I want one so that I can say Anandtech gave me a b-day present.

    That would be awesome!

    Man, i have been wanting this for so long. i really want to use transformer as my mobile system so I can use it on the go for fun, work, and entertainment.
  • Aldar - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    It's really difficult sitting outside in 90 degree heat for 2 hours while my son practices football and trying to read a book or watch a video on my HTC Incredible. I'm sure it would be much more satisfying to read or watch on a nice, lite Galaxy Tab or even a slightly heavier Asus Transformer for that matter. Thanks!

    - -- ---===>>>>>>>>>>>>* (single ascii comet) :P

    It would be a shared family device used primarily for media streaming, game playing, and educational apps.

    Thanks!
  • mjcutri - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would give it to my wife who has been wanting an Android tablet, which would mean that I could get my netbook back from her :)

    to read comics on the john
  • Atenacius - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    If I had an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer, I would put to rest all the qualms that people have for tablet PCs. Many people still find them useless but I will use it for as much as I can, from reading books, browsing the internet, checking emails, playing games to writing apps.
  • jkresh - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    looking for a tablet to use as an e-book reader and considering developing apps for use in courtroom setting (particularly appellate). There are good trial level apps for the iPad, fewer for android and i have yet to see any for either that work well for moot court or any kind of appeal work.
  • stealer85 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    that would be great !
  • SniperWulf - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

  • mlcloud - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I actually never knew how useful they could be (compared to a smartphone + notebook combo) until someone demonstrated. It'd be amazing to have one .
  • Harvestor - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use it at home and as a device to take on the road with me. I think this tablet is one of the best ones out there, considering price and specs/capabilities! Thanks for having this contest!

  • fadetofunk - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd love to have one of these tablets for my son. I think introducing him to this type of device early on will pay dividends down the road. It would also bring a whole new level to reading Dr. Seuss books to him.
  • Dragon99 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I still don't know why I need a tablet, but I'm willing to give it a try. Media consumption is the obvious choice, but I prefer to do that in my home theater or on a large (ish) computer display.
  • SmCaudata - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I work at different locations every half day so I really want a tablet to keep up with email and work related documents throughout the day.

  • lifeguardm - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'm currently doing an internship as a Bible school and am doing media and IT work. I would mostly use this tablet as a email and mobile internet device on campus, being able to work on a computer and not need to take your laptop or use an ipod touch to use the internet when the computer in question is incapacitated would be wonderful. I've wanted a honeycomb device since they came out but first as a student and now as an unpaid intern I could not and can not afford or justify that in my expenses for the foreseeable future.
  • kandekilla - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    This would be great to have for school. Best of both worlds. Touchscreen and physical keyboard for notes.
  • Davros - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use my Transformer for web browsing while traveling and while sitting on the couch in the evenings, but my main desired use is for MLB.TV stream watching. Being able to carry it with me from room to room and on the road without missing a pitch would be enjoyable.

    Really could use one (especially my kids!)
  • beat mania - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    one
  • GTDued - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Of course! That's what all guys do.
  • ydc - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    They're great for breakfast or any time of the day!
  • the_engineer - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'm really wanting a tablet to eschew my laptop when out of the house. I have a DSLR and plan to get photos onto it (even if i've got to hack it to get USB hosting) then out to the web for sharing while on the road. Totally excited for a tab, that's for sure.
  • cgalyon - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd mostly get it for the articles... really! Tablets seem like the best way to read and annotate on lots of research articles.
  • boochi - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Would love to have this to browse the web from the couch without having to use a bulky laptop.
  • mike_orst - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Please............ Pick............ Me...........
  • Lchow1 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'm moving apart from my partner of 6 years for a year of clinical work and the video camera on my laptop is malfunctioning. I'd love to have a tablet to help us keep in touch with each other through video chats. Thanks!
  • NXTwoThou - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Honestly, it'd become my new bathroom computer. No, not just for..uhm..sitting time.. It'd be a godsend to have when I'm trying to unwind in the tub, listen to music, browse some sites, watch videos, whatever. Just wish the thing was waterproof. :P
  • lau808 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    i would use this to read anandtech news and reviews and forums while at work and my fiance and i would play angry birds at home :) actually, i think she would keep it home while i'm at work lol
    plus you need a winner from hawaii anyway

  • Hijoumake - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd probably use it as a test device for Android development ^_^
  • TGSA - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd use the table as a complete media experience. First off, an ereader would be great as I'd love to read but printed copies of books takes too much space. I'd also use it for internet surfing, movie watching, or just as a music player when on the go or relaxing out at the pool.

    There's probably a ton more things I could list, but I don't want to bore you.

    PS: I'd love to win!!! So pick me!
  • Quixoticism - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    As a tech enthusiast with only a desktop I would be using my tablet all around the house for checking on my email and watching online videos. I would also try and see how able it is as a production platform for designing and creating webpages.

  • gtslow - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would love to get my hands on one of these tablets! I fly for business every week as a consultant and have found pulling out a full size laptop in coach to be quite troublesome. One of these loaded up with movies and basic productivity software would save me 4-8 hours of boredom twice a week!
  • ender707 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    ;)
  • jcaveman - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    It would be really cool to get one of these!!!
  • FunkyLarge - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I recently gave my only laptop to my dad. My dad was diagnosed with liver cancer a couple months ago. He's too sick to work, so he spends the majority of his time at home. Giving him my laptop and introducing him to the internet just opened a whole new world to him. I still have my desktop to do my school works, but it will be nice to have a tablet for me to take it to school with me. I travel 4 hours a day in public transportation to school everyday. if I have a tablet, I could spend those 4 hours everyday on something productive like reading technical PDF books. With a tablet, I could have my whole collection of pdf books with me anytime. :) I do have the actual copies for most of the books, but they are just too heavy to carry to the campus everyday. I'm graduating with a CS degree soon. Maybe I could learn to make apps for android as a side job. And with that big screen, movies and games is a must. Haha.
  • Rmattp - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I assume its only the asus transformer and doesn't come with the cool docking pad.

  • rkhalloran - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I have an ASUS-mobo-based Phenom desktop, and have been using an EEE 1005 as my portable. I use an Android phone, and this looks like the best of both worlds: a full-size tablet, running Honeycomb for most uses, with the option to dock it into a keyboard for text-intensive work and longer battery life. This should be a dynamite option. PLEASE?!?

  • Tripwir3 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    This would be the perfect gift for my wife. She would actually use it to teach my two kids out of it. We home school and they watch a lot of science videos. With this it would make it more comfortable and mobile to teach.
  • ekyeh888 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would lend it to my kids to use to keep them quiet while I'm driving.
  • tiquio - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I am future med student. I am currently wrapping up my undergrad majoring in chemistry and a minor in computer science.

    The tablet could be an integral tool to my success in med school. I could definitely use it for recording lectures, taking notes, taking pictures of cadavers and even using android apps to help me study and prepare me for the USMLE. This tablet will be an essential tool for me and will help me save thousands of lives in the near future.

    One thing I hope to do in my future career is combine my career in medicine with my love for technology.
  • ranthom - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I've been sitting on the proverbial tablet fence for a long time. After reading your review of the Eee Transformer about two months ago I decided it was time to buy. Unfortunately no one had them in stock. Now...I'm ready but I'm conflicted between this "best bang for your buck" Asus model and the "everyone has one" Ipad 2. So, make my decision easier by just giving me one of yours...please!

    I plan to use it to take notes in Evernote during business meetings and watch videos at 30K feet. Other than that...I may read a book or two...but only if its non-fiction.
  • vcxzfdsa1 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I'd give it to my kids to hack and learn.
  • A.Noid - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I got a chance to play with one of these, and I think they flat embarrass IPads. I want one for both remoting into RDP sessions, and for making Ipads look bad. :)
  • frstbyt - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I own my own business doing onsite computer repair so it would be helpful to be able to access manuels, custom data, googles searches and take payments from a tablet. At home I would most likely browse the web, read ebooks/comic, and watch movies on it.
  • DynacomDave - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Would be nice to finish leftover laboratory class work while on campus.
  • StanTech - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    The vast majority of the time, I think I'd leave it on the table between the television and couch for the whole household to use. Web browsing, news/magazine reading apps, VOIP, Google Music, ... probably lots of uses just on the couch.

    Since I currently don't travel much, I don't think the keyboard attachment is worth the cost for me (but I'd look for sales and eBay auctions).
  • tyli2000 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

  • truthbeacon - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use it for more easily keeping coordinated with my office when I am working in remote field situations; it would be a bit nicer than my android phone, and much easier than pulling out my laptop all the time.

    What would I use an Android tablet for? Off the top of my head, here are a few things I'd do if I won:

    The Usual:
    Tether it to my Android phone and browse the web
    Take notes in lectures (especially on the Transformer)
    Read ebooks
    Play AngryBirds and see the whole scene
    Watch live TV through my DishNetwork DVR
    Use Google Sky Map effectively when stargazing

    Film Related:
    Pull up scripts, shot lists, and storyboards while on set
    Take behind the scenes videos on set and edit it right on the tablet
    Use the tablet as a virtual slate and track good takes

    Photo Related:
    Review my DSLR photos on a larger screen
    Edit photos photos on the fly
    Post them online through tether

    There's just so MUCH! So I hope I win. :)

    I would use it as my recipe and kitchen computer, as I am constantly having to run to my desktop screen to see the parts of recipes I am working on.
    I would use it as my reference when I am working on a project away from the computer (building or putting together furniture.)
    I would use it when I am out fishing as my reference tool on fish, conditions etc (this is how I mainly used my ipad3g before it got stolen.)

    I would use either as the device I don't currently have. I'd love to able to use and own a tablet as a TV remote, remote desktop, remote tv client, portable internet device. It would enhance everything I do now. I'd really love to have one, but haven't had the funds (or need). The transformer has been on my short list of tablet/nettop for use when I finally go back to school to finish my EE degree.

    After seeing what my friend's iPad can do, I'd love to be able to do the same, but have more freedom that Android has to offer.
  • Mercdoc - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

  • rwettroth - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    Just read your write up on Eee Pad. It sounds like they are only really for minor use like internet, reading ebooks and such. So I would be using it for that. Wonder how well it would handle Android development? Autobots! Transform and roll out!

    I miss my tablet! The accessories I got for it are all lonely too.
  • ctark - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would mainly use this device for websurfing and email, which I enjoy must more on honeycomb than i do iOS. I own an Ipad, and I use that device mainly for consumption of other things outside of emailing and browsing. I like both devices, but cant afford both.

  • bloinkXP - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I am a IT Architect and have been hesitant to jump into a tablet after the failure of the iPAD that I purchased. Apple and I have never been compatible and the quirks were too fun for me. An android tablet would be a lot of use to me. I have a HTC Incredible that I rooted and use for work, but the screen size is limited for productivity...Citrix is just not viable on that size (for instance). So, for me the tablet would do a lot of work related things (ActiveSync and productivity) and I am sure that my kids would love to play Fruit Ninja and what not on it.

    Take Care!

    I am certain my girlfriend would find it awesome as well, she just recently discovered Android on her phone lol
  • NetSolPMK - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    My dad suffered from a stroke 2 years ago. Sadly because of it he lost his job and is now poor. He now lives in public housing. He can not afford anything new.

    I know he would use it every single day and would love it!

    Thank You,

  • sucram03 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I will probably use it for the rest of my schooling -- much handier and portable than a netbook. Won't be as easy for productivity, but that's really what a laptop is for anyway.

    Although... I have the sneaking suspicion that it will probably just be used for web browsing and games. BUT, still a worthy cause!

    I've been slavering over the Eee Transformer since it was announced.

    I could never justify a stand-alone tablet or netbook on a cost or utility basis, but I've been doing most of my recreational reading on a hand-held for years, starting with a Palm device in 1996...

    Nearly all of my study materials are in e-Book formats or online these days. i-devices are too much of a walled garden for my taste, but have lovely displays.

    When the Eee Transformer was released with the same display as the i-whatnots, I was half-convinced. With the keyboard/battery base, I can avoid carrying 7+ pounds of laptop & accessories everywhere, which completes the sale as far as I'm concerned.

    Alas, the cost and the shortages! And the rapid product cycles, which mean that by the time I can afford one, the next version will be out!

    I would use the tablet on trips because it is an easier option than a laptop. They are also great to use at night while sitting up in bed. It is so much easier to just pickup a tablet and surf. I can't wait for Netflix on it!

  • C0Y0T6 - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would like to be able to hang around on the couch for hours on end reading Anand's in depth articles on CPU design and trying to understand it all. Sometimes his articles are really complex and it would be great to be able to read them from the safety of a sofa. Why, you ask? Well, sometimes when I read them sitting at my desk I get a keyboard shaped bruise my forehead. It occurs when I slip suddenly into a coma while concentrating too hard on detailed articles by Anand. They start of so intriguing and with such interesting questions that I want to understand, but often end with my face smashed into the J K L key. I have actually ruined three perfectly good keyboards this way. Apparently no-one has thought to introduce a drool-proof model. It can be really painful, embarrassing and expensive to read Anandtech.
    I am not saying I want him to tone it down. I love the challenge of keeping up and trying to understand it all. I just feel that I would be much more willing to delve into the challenges of chipset design as explained by Anand if I was laying on a sofa with a Transformer in hand rather than perched precariously on a chair over an oh-so sharp, forehead penetrating keyboard. It would be kind of like having a safety net.

    Have mercy on me guys! Otherwise I may have to resort to wearing a helmet every time Anand writes an article!

    I'm a grad student, and I read a lot of academic articles in PDF form. I don't own a tablet now, but I've tried reading PDFs on other people's iPads before and really liked the experience. You can read on the couch or wherever, and the experience is a lot better than sitting down at a desk and reading documents on a laptop. Plus, the charts & illustrations are reproduced much better than on an e-reader like the Kindle.

    I would probably use the tablet as a laptop/ entertainment device while I keep a less portable desktop computer at home. It wouldn't be too hard using Google Docs to access all my documents from any device and the keyboard would allow me to actually type with speed and precision.

    As a entertainment device, it has enough battery to be used for work and play all on a day's charge. It is definitely more portable than a notebook too. Video and audio are played back perfectly fine, and of course web browsing is perfectly normal compared to most notebooks. Not to mention peripheral support in the upcoming updates to Android, which would make it perfect for some PS1 and N64 emulators.

    I would consider using one at work. Not entirely sure if its something I could use. I know the iPad has several apps that would be very useful to me, and I would imagine a Google based tablet would have equivalent apps or software as well. I guess that's what happens when you don't keep up with the tablets because quite honestly I find the price way out there for them. They are overpriced, underpowered computers and I don't believe for a second that mobility constitutes such a high price tag. Cost wise these manufacturers are making a HUGE PROFIT on a device that cost next to nothing to manufacture and distribute. It reminds me of the Cell Phone Industry, smart phones that cost $300-$600 without a contract is highway robbery, especially when the components in most of these phones cost pennies to manufacture. Add it all up and its blatantly obvious that these companies make a killing on something that when broken down has nothing inside it that is difficult to manufacture. I find it astonishing that most people who own a Smart Phone or Cell Phone seem to think the technology behind them is futuristic and highly complicated/sophisticated, when the truth is its not.

    Oops looks like I went on a rant. Well if you have read this far, Congrats I am done! :-) Cheers

    I'd use a Linux tablet in the context of my job as High Performance Computing manager. Currently we use laptops and smartphones for mobile troubleshooting, but a tablet would be a much better form factor than the cramped screen of virtual keyboard of a smartphone (don't get me wrong, we love them despite the limitations), and still be far lighter to tote than a laptop.

    all seem to come on pdf's and printing them is basically not possible. Ahh I remember the good old days when I bought games with giant 500 page full color manuals I could curl up with... Now I'll settle for curling up with a tablet... Besides that I'd use it for web browsing and watching videos.

    The 2010 Honda Civic has essentially two dashboards:
    The upper, essential one contains the speedometer and the fuel gauge. I wouldn't obstruct that one.
    The lower, non-essential one contains the odometer, the RPM meter, the gear indicator and the cruise control indicator, among other non-essential things. I'd stick an Adroid tablet there in front of that one.
    I dream of tethering the tablet to a "MiFi" device, such as the one available from Virgin Mobile, and then running a "glance only" app on the tablet, such as the Chumby viewer, to make my long commute a little bit more bearable.

    I am an avid gadget lover. The advent of mobile devices that serve as an all-in-one technology has impressed and driven me (and millions others) into following the tremendous innovation that companies like Google have brought to this computing arena.

    Since I already use an Android device (Nexus S), use of a Honeycomb tablet would be a natural extension Google's mobile environment. I would use the device primarily for business, learning, exploring, and socializing.

    For business, I would use my QuickOffice, ThinkSpace, and Mindshark apps for productivity and idea sharing. For learning I would use my tablet to read How Stuff Works articles in a large screen browser, world news on NPR, and my techie computer books on Nook and Kindle apps. For exploring, nothing beats the versatility of Google Maps as well as other explorer apps like Yelp. And with the small weight of the Asus tablet, i can take it with me on my international trips to Latin America! Lastly, it is important for me to stay connected with my family and friends. That is why I would be using my tablet to log onto Facebook and Skype. Video chatting with my 64 year old mom in Mcallen, Texas will never feel so close. (I live in Chicago.)

    Technology really makes our world so much smaller, closer, fuller. Let us all enjoy what these tablets can do for our enjoyment of life. :-)

    I'd like one of the tablets to use as an everyday device, they are more advanced than my iPad and would like to experience them for better comparison with iOS.

    Hands down, these are the best Androids out there - with features and price ratios.

    With my own experience with my only apple product, the iPad - my recommendations are more towards apple iOS products. But I'm always opened to new and better products.

    My experience with my own Android Galaxy still makes me nervous about the operation and ease of use in comparison. So my future purchase will either be an iPad3 or maybe an Android if I know or feel that its on par with the Apple iPad.

    The number of apps is not as important as the quality, but its operation of the device that is most important when I am doing business.

    As to how I would use a Honeycomb-based tablet, it would essentially be my "Arm-Chair-Computer"; using it to look up things while watching TV or looking up tips for whatever Xbox game I may be playing.
    I'd also take it with me whenever I'd be somewhere I'd be waiting for something where a notebook PC wouldn't be convenient, e.g. waiting at the doctor's office, waiting for my mechanic to work on my vehicle, etc.

    I realized my "entry" wasn't really by the rules, since I didn't say how I would use it. I currently have an iPad and an Android phone (EVO3D), and am interested to see if an Android tablet can offer better intergration than the iPad does with respect to my data and day to day functions. Key points will be e-mail management, document handling and editing (including presentations), and access to online photo repositories (i.e. Picasa). Also, the iPad integrates really well through Citrix to my hospital's information systems, I want to see if an Android can match that (unfortunately, 4.3" is too small to test realistically). All in all, I want to see if Android tablets can match or beat the iPad in my workflow.

    I would use a Honeycomb tablet to compile a list of my many past achievements, and to document my ongoing achievements in real time. We speak of achievements like the time I beat an old nag in a footrace.

    Or the time I convinced the Olympic committee to accept Buzkashi as a medal sport for the 2012 Olympics.

    If I had a Honeycomb tablet I could make your lives easier. I mean all of you. All of you people on Earth. Your lives will be better. Seriously, you'll wake up and those boils will be gone.

    Also, if it is pity that moves your hearts, my wife is dead, and my health is failing rapidly, and I can't afford the electrons necessary to stay on the Internet for much longer. You must send me these tablets so my children can learn something about the world while I am still alive. If you don't do this, they will be raised without a father in an Internet full of counterstrike servers and weird Japanese adult movies.

    My entry...no, my plea shall be presented in the form of a very real story, a story destined to transcend mere pixels and punctuation and become reality.

    "A package arrived today. Hmmm...
    A curious tilt of the head outwardly revealed my inner bewilderment. I hadn't ordered anything lately, had I? However, this was a package, so I did what any true resident of the modern age of digital store-fronts and weekly front-porch cardboard encounters would do, I opened it. I looked down on that packing material as it parted like the Red Sea and beheld the Poseidon's golden trident of all tablets. The black box within seemed to pulse with radiant energy before I realized it was simply the mind-altering, rhythmic flow of adrenaline with each heartbeat. In that moment an epiphany struck like Zeus's lightning, hard and burning. I knew what I had to do. Not moments later Newegg hands frantically handled and shipped a box containing a single Eee Pad docking station. This time there was no pause, only the chime of a doorbell, a short yet serious walk, and the tape gave way to blade. Docked and ready, silent my Transformer sat.
    Words poured onto it's vibrant screen, yet there were no frivolous colors shining from its surface, only the black and white of meaning. It typed like no other tablet could type and in time my great weapon had been forged, one to bring an Empire to it's knees. A few hours spent making a bump key proved all to enjoyable and the adrenaline returned that very night at the priting press of my employ. Usually occupied by shadows at such nocturnal moments, it danced with sight and sound and the smell of acetone and ink...and for the first time since my life changing discovery, my flat lips curved into a crooked grin as I held the first copy of a powerful book.
    A single digital copy and one hundred soldiers of paper and print were sent into their respective planes of existence, a few to Apple headquarters, 1 or 2 to numerous online tech-blogs, two of many examples. It spread like wildfire like I knew it would, especially among people of logic and reason, a simple message yet laced with potent truth, in short: the iPad is NOT, in any way, the best tablet anymore. Apple has fooled you all with matte, aluminium mirrors and the smoke of 1000 burning marketing experts. And just like that, the spell was broken.
    Several years later that same screen that was once so serious displayed in brilliant splendor the pages of Anandtech, the place my great journey had started those few years ago. Reading its reviews and deliciously over-technical articles on the latest tech, my door was unceremoniously kicked in by an old, skeleton like man. L-shaped, chrome plated steel glinted in his hand and with the raise of his arm the tip of a .50 caliber round pointed menacingly, with crazed, shaky conviction. I'd seen this man before, yet in a less tattered pair of jeans and a black turtleneck. Mr. Jobs they'd called him. Who was he now but a forgotten memory to most? He screamed the question all downed, helpless men ask themselves after falling from the highest of high priestdoms, "Why?!" He had no more words on how to hold a phone, only that one, hoarse cry. As the pressure from the tip of that beautiful hand-cannon pressed my forehead back I answered without a hint of fear, "I brought them the truth. Nothing more. Plus...Anandtech needed a decent reason to give me a free Asus Eee Pad Transformer." Then I closed my eyes and closed my Eee Pad dock with one. small. click."

    So yeah...I'd like that Transformer.

  • jmgalanter - Friday, July 8, 2011 - link

    I would use the Eee pad to carry out research on the impact of using wood burning stoves on asthma in Honduras. Currently, we gather questionnaire data on paper, because entering the data in a laptop is too cumbersome for recruiters. But paper forms then need to be entered into a computer, and there are all sorts of problems with that, from recruiters who incorrectly fill out the paper forms to errors during the transcription process. Moreover, we measure lung function in the process using a spirometer (currently connected to a laptop). The whole setup is cumbersome, and could be replaced by a tablet that could simultaneously be used to fill out the forms and perform the spirometry (I've already contacted the spirometry company and they are working on a version of their software and an interface that would work with Android tablets).

    Thanks,
    Josh Galanter

    The use of the Eee Pad Transformer is pretty much limitless. I would mainly use this for my start up business. Instead of carrying a pad and paper I could use this to enter data, I could show potential clients all that can be offered through pdfs and such on the tablet instead of carrying a bulky laptop or having multiple handouts which in turn will help cut my cost of printed material and save trees.

    Shoot, I'd bring it to D&D games loaded with my character sheets and notes! It's also good for shooting questions to the DM or another player over an IM client on the sly. I could also use it to load up resources like Pathfinder's web site for any rule disputes (even if they end with "Well I'm the DM and THIS is how it works in this corner of the d20 multiverse.").

  • pyremius - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I'd use the Transformer to help evangelize the use of Android in our State's community college system (I work there in a regional IT department) as as a component of our drive to enhance teacher and student resource access (also, it would help lead towards my secret goal of encouraging the development and use of in-house e-textbooks to help reduce the amount of financial aid debt our students incur).

    Can you at least filter out all these giveaways that isn't for non-US readers? It would be quite easy to do. I'm silly in thinking that anandtech.com is a global site of course. There is actually companies that make a living delivering stuff, up to container size, quite cheap to any place in the world. But if you insist on giving only to the US, don't flaunt it to everyone.

    It would exist as a portable research device to supplement any sort of media consumption (who was that actor, where do I know them from?), or as a light internet browsing / gaming device.

  • jtroutma - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    Would use it to show up all the Engineers at work since they got free iPad2's.........and enjoy watching my shows on the run.
  • fobis - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    for constructive things, such as solving world hunger or discovering an AIDS cure. I promise!
  • MrCoyote - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    The dock that allows the screen to fold over like a netbook is a great idea. The additional battery in the dock and IPS LCD makes this a no-brainer over all the other cheaply made netbooks.
  • projeczero - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I'd most likely use it to replace traditional text books for school and as a laptop replacement if I need to travel light to anywhere.
  • verifyid - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I'd probably use it for when I go to lectures
  • cdhabolt - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I would use it for everything possible, to keep in touch with family, checking emails, social networks and more, I know there are endless apps out there, would love to try them out, my favorite part is that I would be able to take it anywhere with me unlike my desktop, thank you for this great opportunity!
  • denniseatsfood - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    Would love one! Have never had a tablet of my own to try out and I've recently gotten an Atrix so I've been having a lot of fun with Android. A tablet added to my mix of goodies would be awesome!
  • HercDriver - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I want my 9 year old son to have this tool for learning. It is an e-book, a computer, a social network, an encyclopedia, and much more...all in a small, thin, and light package. What better tool could he have? Winning this would give him a fantastic computer he would not otherwise have.
  • tt7970 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    Let's see how random this is.
  • LordOfTheBoired - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    With a name like Transformer, the only possible use is as a mounting surface for this Autobot logo sticker I've got laying around. I would subsequently name it Blaster, and I would use it to play "The Touch" ALL THE TIME.

    No, you are not allowed to ask why I just HAPPEN to have an Autobot logo sticker laying around. Suffice it to say that I actually do have one.
  • lipanconjuring - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I'd probably use it to get into some proper android software development. Perhaps an AnandTech app:)

    I would use it pretty much like I used my Palm years ago, a personal assistant for many tasks.
  • Darkerson - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I think my daughter would absolutely love it. Ever since my wife got a laptop, shes always finding a reason to jump on it when my wife isnt, so this would make an excellent gift, and just as she likes to borrow her moms laptop, I in turn could borrow this when shes asleep...or something lol. Just know if one of those tablets came here, it would be put to good use! Thanks!

    I'd use it to read my favorite web sites (such as AnandTech), Also for developing Honeycomb applications.
  • andrewlanewildman - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    What better use for a Honeycomb than to produce the sweet, sweet honey of Android bliss on a tablet in conjunction with my Android phone, Chrome browser on my PC, and new G+ account, all connected via El Goog's magnificent G-Mail service?

    On a related note, if this Transformer is half as amazing as Transformers 3, it'll be worth telling others to get for themselves.
  • digitalzombie - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I will use it as an ebook. I usually read, technical books, while on the toilet but the books get wet and stuff... Plus whatever concepts I don't understand I can certainly search for it online.

    Thx for the contest!
  • GhostClocking3 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    The Honeycomb tablet would replace my aging netbook. It's more powerful, lighter, sleekier, & just much better all around, even if it's only about an year old.

  • miarmylion - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I would use it as a way to keep myself and/or my family entertained while traveling. Lots of traveling coming up this summer, and there is no better way to keep kids entertained then by letting them watch movies or play mindless games while on the road. Best part is no little fingerprints on dvds and no little toys cluttering up the car. Less mess, less stress sounds like a great way to spend a road trip.

    1. Use it for multiple thing. I would use it for email access and web browsing.
    2. Play Pandora and Slacker on it, because I can't live without my music.
    3. Use it for Movies on the go, and use the HDMI to play content on TVs
    4. Use it for buisness, playing music files and scores for clients.
    5. Buy the Dock, so I can use this to its fullest potential.
    6. Display Pictures to show friends what happen in Vegas with the Facebook app.
    7. Connect it to my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt with the "Mobile Hotspot" feature.
    8. Brag to everyone in town, that I have a great tablet that is comparable, if not better, than the iPad!!!

    This Tablet will open a world of possiblities, and I can see myself with one traveling the country (or at least my city).

  • thenebulousmind - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I'd like to win because I've been dying to get a tablet for my family but I have lack of funds to do so. I love to read and write and I feel like a tablet would suit me perfectly. My mom is always spending money on books and if I could just teach her how to use the Transformer she'd be all over it. I can also start my Honeycomb application designing as I have on Apple in the past but have long since had an Apple device because it was stolen. This transformer would go to alot more use than the above stated as my whole family would have access as I would rarely leave the house with a tablet unless I was going to class... P.s. thanks for the giveaway, hope to see some more cool stuff very soon.
  • bLast0 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I gave up my desktop about a year ago. I've been using only a laptop and my Samsung Galaxy smart phone for surfing and document writing with the occasional movie streaming. I Transformer Tablet would be so wonderful as I have to share the laptop with my wife. If I won a Transformer, it would allow me to watch movies, play an occasional game, and satisfy my lust for apps without the need to upset the wife by kicking her off the laptop or strain my eyes on the phone. And it would be the first time I've won anything and that would just transform my life right now!

    Need a tablet for my wife. She's an autistic therapist and the kids she works with do a lot of hands on. Tablets are the best way to go because of the children apps out there that require interaction. The kids like the immediate response they get when they do something right when they touch the screen. Very good tool with positive re-enforcement.

    Have been using it for some months now and I can just say what a fine piece of hardware that is usable to almost everything :) Not as clumsy as iPad...
    and the dock function is very nice when you have to write alot.
    The transformer is missing 3G but it doesn't matter when you have a Android phone also, you just hot spot to phone and use 3G (I'm using LG Optimus 2X)
    If you wanna play around a little with the EeePad you can do many things ;)
    Now i have my complete music/video collection everywhere i go and my work place is right by my side at all times. well spent $.

  • Sivar - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I help out at a local charter school. When a friend showed me his Android tablet, the first thought I had was that it would be a great replacement for some books, educational software on PC, and would even allow students who have to are ill to see the lecture through streaming video in bed. The school already has video recording hardware, but since no one has a tablet, it's not an easy sell.
    This school does a lot of learning "in the field", so if each student had a tablet, they could photograph the plants and natural areas they study, share that media with each-other without having to return to the school, and even look up their subjects online as they found them!
    With one of these tablets, I'd set up some free educational and recording software and show how tablets can be useful for other than just casual Facebook users.
  • ornus - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

  • bdub951 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    At first I was hesitant to accept that a tablet had any place in my life but after using my android smartphone and becoming very efficient with the interface, I can see the usefulness of more processing power and a larger display.

    I'd sure love to see some better integration for the home. An infrared output and perhaps native support for one of the HD wireless output options so the display can be easily duplicated on your big screen.
  • Jdioutkast - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

  • seamonkey79 - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I would use it to eliminate about 1/2 of my paper usage at work. I run off two copies of packing slips for customers currently. I recently got an app put together that will let me set the packing slip up on a computer and send it to an Android tablet, let the customer sign it, and then print a single copy out for them from the truck, or if they have ability and would rather, I can just fire off an email.

    However, the Nook Color running CM7 that I've got is just a tad too small for this, some of my customers have Godzilla sized fingers and/or signatures... a 10.1 tablet would probably be perfect.

    I'd probably go through around 3000 fewer sheets of paper every year, which may only be around 6 reams, but paper not used are trees that don't need to be cut down :-D
  • gkinchen - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    If I had one we'd use it for everything... reading, websurfing, even as a cookbook. My wife and I have been wanting a tablet for a long time, but right now with paying our student loans and things we can't justify the expense. Sometimes being financially responsible sucks...
  • jaicen - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    that tablet looks pretty sweet for internet video on the go and being able to use logmein on the go to do some serious troubleshooting when needed. also this combined here in san diego with a 4G phone means doing whatever connected to the internet at all times.

    I'm an independent Android developer. I haven't done any Honeycomb/tablet work because the tab emulator is painfully slow and there isn't yet enough of a market to justify purchasing a physical device as a dev tool (I do Android work primarily for fun and self-education, not profit)...but if I were to win one of these tablets, that would change.

    Well, I would love to use it as a control input for DCS A-10 or BlackShark!!!! Touch controls for my favorite flight sims in concert with my PC would be awesome!!!!

    I'm a college student and lugging my laptop around from class to class can get annoying especially when i need to use it in class and the pull out desk is really small.

    Thanks!

    I respect Android as a fast-growing product and a high-quality special-purpose Linux distribution but I would install a general-purpose Linux distribution. My tablet applications would be as follows:
    (a) Casual mobile computing as currently found on Android and iPad tablets.
    (b) Software development in a variety of languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Flash, etc.)
    (c) LibreOffice writing, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawing.
    (d) Full multimedia entertainment using a fuller set of media types than what is found on the iPad.

    I haven't settled on a distribution yet but I am leaning towards Ubuntu with a Unity or Gnome desktop. Other future possibilities include Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, and Mint. I might try them all eventually.
  • thehungryhippo - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    Are these like the stone tablets I used in school to learn my numbers on? We etched them with a hammer and chisel. I had to upgrade from a 5" tablet to a bigger one after the numbers 6 through 9 were invented. This eventually led to the discovery of the base 10 number system when we could etch 2 numbers onto one bigger tablet. Then paper was invented and the tablets became obsolete.

  • hydrata - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    Thank you for another giveaway.

    Besides using the system for general tasks such as checking email, web browsing, etc. I would work towards employing the system towards educational purposes. As a graduate student who also teaches undergraduate classes, being able to employ a tablet for teaching could open new possibilities. The portability and lighter form factor would provide easier accessibility while traveling between classrooms and make it much easier than using a full size laptop for presentations, lectures, and general issues with student concerns.
    Also, I am conducting research in the field of exercise physiology and this research not only entails mild to strenuous workouts for the participants, but also consists of a number of survey/interview type measures. Being able to consolidate these measures onto one simple tablet form factor would be highly beneficial and convenient for the participant. Also, being able to have a tablet propped somewhere on a treadmill (where a laptop is obviously too much and a smartphone just doesn't cut it) would allow the participant to receive easy visual feedback measures regarding his/her workout.

    This is just a quick brain storm for possibilities. Of course possibilities are always endless.

    I want one of these SO much! I would use it by ALWAYS having it with me; haha. When I need to type, responding to email on lunch break for instance, I have a keyboard. When I don't I can take it off. I can't believe it took as long as it did for someone to do this right.
  • teo - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I was the internet manager at a auto dealership until a severe work load to pay imbalance forced me to return to conventional sales.The dealership does not provide any type of electronic sales tools or internet access for communicating with customers.So..I have decided the tablet would probably work for my needs and I would prefer one for free.Having an i-phone I would probably buy an i-pad if I were to purchace because of familiarity and a pile of apps and my contacts lists.I am not an Apple fanboy and would not mind getting away from them,Free is a great motivator..

    I will use the tablet as an ebook reader, gaming, and web browsing device. Plus they're way more portable then my laptop!
  • freezervv - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    If I were chosen, it'd be going home to the parents and siblings.

    Personally, I write [code and/or documents] too much to see a tablet becoming my primary mobile device. However, I think it'd be perfect for everyone at home.

    Not to mention, it might eventually convince me that tablets aren't necessarily a creativity-sucking, consumer-centric, soul-destroying detour on the road of computing history. ;)

    The 2 hottest tablets that don't start with an "i"! I'd take either one of these over the iPad any day, but the Transformer's optional keyboard makes it a game-changer. And rockin' the hottest SoC currently shipping - Tegra 2 - means it'll burn through any current apps and games and still be viable 2 years from now.
  • Highly Responsive - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I am actually quite excited about the form factor. At my University, there is some demand for experimentation of tablets. But the big problem remains. Academic faculty's #1 job is writing (which really-really requires a keyboard :). I wish to explore if the Transformer form factor can bridge the advantages of a tablet form factor with the requirements of a keyboard for the extensive writing demands of the academic environment. I will not drop my own money on this project and the school is looking at iPads. But if I win one, it will go through some seriously extensive testing for the specific purposes of graduate school education.
  • hotsacoman - Saturday, July 9, 2011 - link

    I am basically starting my life over. Many failed relationships and bad choices have resulted in me taking a look at myself and reevaluating the way I do things. One of the best pieces of advice I've received is from business philosopher Jim Rohn. "Work harder on yourself than you do on your job." That is the ticket to success. One of the most important things to do to improve oneself is to read, which will (if reading the right material) cultivate one's personality into one that is successful. This would be the best use of this tablet. Books on the go, giving me pertinent information that is accessible to me no matter where I am. Thanks.

    As an IT professional, it's always a good thing for your IT guy/gal to have a smartphone and a laptop. Well I don't currently have a laptop.

    I would use the eeepad transformer as a work/test machine. I would get the additional keyboard and try out the OS, use it for work related applications like VPN and VMware apps. Also, many of my clients would love to have me demo tablet technology in general for autoshops, law offices, and construction jobs. If I get this tablet, It would give me the tool I need to make this project happen for my clients.

    Have a great day Anandtech!

    I am an avid reader of nearly all the articles here on Anandtech. Thanks so much for continuously providing such great in depth tech news and reviews. When friends of mine are considering getting certain new products I love being able to direct them straight to this site.

    Excited for the chance. I purchased a Galaxy tablet, but the Sprint folks make it cost ineffective to own, I took it back. No slam on Samsung, because I believe they are now making some of the best home and small business tech out there, but they need to choose their partners a little better. No sign-up fee guaranteed, but my first bill had a whopping $35 fee. Because I had the waived fee documented Sprint backed down, but then they wanted me on a higher data rate plan. NOPE

    Too it back to BestBuy after trying to deal with Sprint. I picked up a Wi-Fi Transformer, and nothing but glowing reviews of the device. No service provider, so no third party trying to rip me off. BestBuy was not punished as they kept my business, as it was their contract wording that provided a safety net for me with Sprint. This was my second horrible encounter with Sprint, so I guess that makes me the learned idiot, as there will never be a third.

    I would give the honeycomb tablet to my mother, she is in her 50s and is on disability now, she has arthritis really bad, has had lower back surgeries, and needs knee replacements, and shoulder work.. sorry for the sap story but i gave her a netbook (ASUS Eee PC, n270 cpu, 1gb ram) but its hard for her to use it, its small and she usually has to sit in a big comfy chair with it resting on her belly and she gets cramped up and finds it painful to use which saddens me.

    I think a touch based tablet would be far better, she could just hold it with one hand in her lap, and just touch the screen to type, point at things with a finger, i think itd be much easier then using the small & cramped keyboard and touch pad on the netbook. If i could afford one i'd just buy her one.

    I'd love a honeycomb tablet because I'm a Google man. I sold my soul to the evil overlord a few years back, and it would be nice to do some of the things I do on my froyo phone on a larger format. Things like:

    Email, navigation, Google Music, Gdocs, task and calendar, and android games.

    One of the biggest things I think would be nice about a tablet form factor is playing emulators. I have them on my phone, but they'd be so much nicer to play on, say, a Transformer since I could directly connect a PS3 controller.

    Right now, playing old NES and SNES games is difficult on my phone, so I still end up lugging out my NES and SNES (yes, I still have them. Been blowing one cartridges for nigh on 20 years now) when I'm feeling a bit nostalgic.

    From what I read, Polaris office is awesome, and I like the possibilty of interfacing with my PC via Logmein Ignition.

    I'd be sweet to get the whole setup for $150 (because I'd have to buy me that keyboard: usb and an extra 6 hours of battery? I'm in!)

    My Eee Pad would be used to surf the web on its rather massive 1280 x 800 IPS display and to watch Youtube videos because unlike the iPad, it has Adobe Flash. I would also use it to keep up to date with the latest Anandtech articles, of course.

    I volunteer at an animal shelter where a tablet would facilitate keeping the volunteer corps informed of ongoing issues (supplies required) and problems (repairs needed and ongoing treatments for specific sick animals). With 60 to 90 animals at any time, every day brings a different mix of Problems to communicate to the shifting mix of volunteers that come in to feed and clean-after the animals and to maintain and improve the shelter.

    I'd definitely use a Honeycomb tablet as deeply-useful web-connected information/media tool for certain parts of my house (such as my living room, where a computer is not present).

    But otherwise, its primary purpose would be using it in class for taking notes - my laptop is awful, runs out of battery really quick (20-30 minutes), and is too large and unwieldy for a classroom setting. I noticed several people in my classes last quarter using tablets for notes. They're beyond-great tools that'd actually help me keep my thoughts organized and approach the class in a more prepared manner.

That way i can connect to my company's xen desktop environment. If i'm meeting with clients or on the road i'm able to get the job done. Also some fun in between work would be nice, the awsome screen made for watching full HD movies and some games here and there, hey "All work and no play makes jack a dull boy" :-). Also that new google maps features come in really handy when figuring out how to get quicky between point A and B.

    eReader, gaming machine, email, web browsing...Can't think of any life changing ways to use one, but there are a lot of good places to start.
  • one20eight - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    We've got a baby on the way, so in a few months I doubt either of my wife or I will have the energy for any dedicated browsing outside the nursery. Plus, I heard that reading Anandtech to our baby will stimulate her brain and aid in her path to geekdom.

    My desktop computer broke over a year ago, and I really haven't been able to replace it since. For about 9 months I've been using this iphone as my primary computing device, and a tablet should be a step up. I'd be able to navigate things online and enter/edit text a bit more easily, as well as read ebooks.
  • Araemo - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

  • falko2904 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I do a lot of remote support for my customers. A convenient form factor like a tablet would help, as it is easier to carry than a full laptop. Currently I do some of this on my phone (Samsung Infuse 4G) with LogMeIn Ignition, but the screen is too small. That would be much easier to do on a tablet. I am torn about which one I would like better, as I have heard good things about either tablet. I really like how sleek my new Samsung Infuse 4G is, so I might prefer the Galaxy Tab 10.1. But either would be great for my purpose.

    Lets not forget about entertainment, gotta stream my Crunchyroll and HBOGO!

    Thank You!
  • rumpinho - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

  • duodduck - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would attach a hang glider and a mifi to it with duct tape and remote desktop into the pc that controls my fully automated war-locomotive and use it to direct electrolaser and railgun attacks at the vehicles of my enemies as I soar above the fray, riding the thermals like an eagle in an eagle costume. They'd all be like, "that's my car" and I'd be like "can't hear you, I'm too busy destroying your car with my Eee Pad Transformer". That's provided that my enemies park their cars within sight of a train track, which I will ensure that they do.
  • sigmabeta - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Yeah, that's what I'd do.
  • eyi526 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Hello Anandtech!

    I would love to have one of these tablets because it would definitely be a step-up from my netbook with helping me take notes at school! I am letting my mom borrow my netbook currently until the semester starts, but if I can be so fortunate to win a tablet from here, then I won't have to take it back from her and I can probably start planning on rooting (if possible; not too keen with Android). This would be the ultimate college gift as I had to pay for EVERYTHING once I got into college.

    Thanks!

    Eddie
  • Spitfyr - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Running an old Macbook with a Core Duo processor. The thing is 5-6 years old and man these tablets would blow it out of the water.
  • galvor - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I have Android Envy and you can help me solve it. My wife and kids all have Android phones and get to play with all the "sweet flavors" of Android. But since my work provides my phone, I am stuck in Blackberry jam. I love honey, so a tablet full of Honeycomb would really sweeten my life. The tablet would stick with me everywhere I went allowing me to stop using paper and be greener at work and, like I said at the first, would allow me to personally experience the ooey goodness that is Android. I feel that it is my just deserts that I would be the one in my house with the best form factor since I was the last to get an Android device.

  • spazzytazz111 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would integrate it as part of my media hub in my living room. Although I am sure I will spend much of my time hunting for it as my son will grab it to play Angry Birds.

    Hi Anandtech,

    I have 2 kids that love Zoodles. It is their favorite game on my phone, but the screen is so small and of course we are talking about an OG Droid so I would use it for educational purposes for my children as well as video chat with them when I'm off on some business trip.
  • halo6819 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

  • kalakaka - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Sweet device. I so want one. Pick me.
  • tayb - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would use this tablet to bridge the gap between my desktop and my mobile phone. My wife is always talking about wanting something more mobile than a desktop but more powerful than a mobile phone but at an entry price of 400-600 we just can't afford it.

    I would skype to my family back home, chat with my friends, watch television, and stream content to my television. My wife and I would cook using a recipes application and we would read with the kindle application. We could both send email and get work related tasks done. It would really be helpful to have such a device.

    That's what I would use with this device and that's why I want this device!
  • treetop - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Also, I can't say what I'd really use it for because I just don't know, other than web surfing. I guess the only way to find out what I'd do with it is to win one, natch ;)
  • shahrozh - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    My wife who used to hate all things computers has for all purposes taken my iPad (which received as a gift). If I'm lucky I get maybe 10 mins on it per week. The Asus would be really helpful.

  • Pghpooh - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would use the tablet in many ways.
    First, my wife can use it for her surfing and shopping. Then if possible use it to download books to read.
    I will use it for banking, and keeping track of my stock portfolio.
    When my grandkids are here they can use it for playing games and music and since there are two grandkids they can fight over it. LOL Then, when my daughters are here they can use it for whatever they do.
    Having another way to handle day to day items will make life easier and keep the grandkids happy.
  • Saffleur - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I'd love to get one of these in my hands. I do a lot of presentations and It would be awesome to manipulate those during a speech with this.

  • ptrinh1979 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    If my name was selected, I would use the Asus Eee Pad Transformer as an entry point to learning the Android platform as much as possible in order to do two things: First, share the knowledge I gain to teach others how to use their Android based tablets via authoring articles / how-tos; and direct contact with my clients who ask me to tutor them in the use of their tablets. Second, given the unique feature-set of the Eee Pad Transformer; I would contribute towards the Android Marketplace with "apps" that would help maximize the utility of the dual tablet and laptop.

    I'd use it to dev a game that some friends and I have been kicking around.
  • rongxanh - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    If I won, I would give this away to my brother. He has no portable computer of any type, but I think he would make great use of it. Since Android supports Flash, maybe he can even learn to program things for it.

    I would use it for internet on the road when I won't take my laptop. I love my m14x, but it isn't light. I either want to use a tablet, or maybe one of the ultrabooks as an alternative.
  • ExcaliburMM - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I'd probably use this so I don't have to pay silly amounts of money to Verizon for their data plans on smartphones. Mobile applications and such. It'd also be a good way to keep my girlfriend from buying an iPad. :3

    How I'd use a Honeycomb tablet? As a laptop replacement, for browsing and such, for the most part!
  • Qmzn - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Not that my comment matters, because you're picking at random, but I could think of a nice use for a tablet.

    I'm using a EEE 2G Surf right now. It is

    SLOW.

    Everyone else around me has iPads and iPhones and Sandy Bridge and all this other crap.

    So a tablet might stave off my descent into madness for another week or so. Ah, on second thought, screw it, let the madness come. I am ready.

  • CrookedBroomstick - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Apart from the typical activities like web, e-mail, and other stuff on the go... I'd get my hands of the development environment and see what kinds of neat things you can do in regards to software for tabletop gaming and game mastering: Interactive maps, puzzles, combat trackers, character sheet databases, and other handy tools all at your fingertips. If all worked well with the first, I'd probably expand to allow multiple Honeycomb tablets to network together to allow the game master his own master tablet and the players their own. Nothing like being able to limit information between players, keep secrets, and a popping few unexpected surprises without passing paper notes (which always clue players in.)
  • deject - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    if I had a honeycomb tablet I would use it for browsing the internet while I'm on the toilet.

    i am a network engineering student at NCSU in Raleigh NC. I just received my CCNA. I could really use this tablet because of its portability , efficiency, and power. I could use it for school/work and when traveling. I also grew up beside Anand if that helps lol, The Modena was fun.

  • Mindlink - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

I grew up next door to Anand if that makes any difference lol. The Modena was fast !

  • SirOrion - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Would love to use this as an eReader and a gaming tablet! :)
  • IceRedwing - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    i'd probably use it for mobile media, particularly when i have to do a lot of waiting.
    Use it to put a lot of my notes in , so i wouldn't have to bring a lot of notebooks
  • e. - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would use my Honeycomb tablet for everything Google, basically because I hate using Google services on iOS.
  • devaran - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would use the tablet to play all the nice games from Tegra Zone
  • Iread - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I just ordered one of these but canceled because I figured it can't replace my laptop. Still I'd love to try it out.
  • gamingmonk - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    ...I would probably do web browsing, note taking, and some AnandTech style benchmarking.

    roll out!
  • Hung - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I'm a 2nd year pharmacy student and the bane of my studies is taking biochem notes. The professor is completely aware that she's teaching too quickly got us to write out property notes, "to instill a sense of prioritization." Well, I'd prefer to prioritize after I get all the notes and we students just don't have the time to record and review her lectures. I need good notes the first time I write them. I need something with a keyboard and a large touch screen. I type MUCH faster than I write, but I need to draw molecules and mechanisms and jmol/chemdraw aren't as efficient as a pen and paper. I would really like a Eee Pad Transformer. I'll buy my own stylus and keyboard :)
  • ksujedi - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    Need one for taking notes during an upcoming month long course I'm taking out of town, need portability and long battery life. Also want one just because they're cool!

  • yarrow0919 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I would take the Transformer and get the extra dock to bring to school with me to take notes. Being a student and only working fifteen hours a week I could really use this to help me. Currently going it the old fashioned way. Besides using it to do all the awesome things that Android has to offer. Flash on the go and awesome apps.

    Thanks for the consideration.
  • DarkNeutron - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I like transformers!
  • FordGT550 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I want one because they are just plain awesome! My 2nd generation iPod Touch is about to kick the bucket (sketchy sync and battery life). I use that as my web surfing gadget right now and to be able to have a larger screen to do that on, plus watch movies and run all of the excellent Android apps would be killer.
  • paulteini - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

  • ryukafalz - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I'd use it to replace this iPad. I'm a huge fan of open source software and I'd love to be able to replace the completely closed iPad with something a bit less restrictive. (Even though Google hasn't released the Honeycomb source yet - shame on you Google!)
  • amdsupport - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    I could use one for work.
  • jrgman - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - link

    If I would win this it would end up in the Wife's hands as she really wants a tablet. We tried one that we found on the clearance area of our local BX but it did not have access to the Anroid Market place so we took it back.

  • benesse - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    You know, to be honest, I would use the tablet to show students in developing countries the power of technology and what is out there for them, to encourage them to study and work hard so that they have something to work towards. I want to show them that a life outside of the rural developments exists. This would be a great way for me to show them how immense an education is worth. Technology has come a long way... it's time to put it to good use.
  • parkerdjohnson - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I pretty much would kill for this tablet. I got a samsung captivate a little while back. I want that but bigger. Since I'm going into college, it sure would be cool to have a tablet and not my ancient computer!!

  • notedible - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I would use one of the tablets to interface with my PhD research project so that I can monitor and adjust my experiments and simulations remotely. This will enable to me to stay out of the lab for longer periods of time and spend that time with my wife instead. I will also use it to develop android apps for use in our lab, enabling a new level of productivity and flexibility. Plus, these tablets aren't made by Apple, an added benefit in my opinion :-)

    How would I use a Honeycomb tablet? I would become an app developer. I've been wanting to make games. I see a big opening in the tablet space for some more traditional mobile games as opposed to the casual ones dominating right now. I originally wanted one of the Transformer tablets, but they've been so hard to find in stock that I decided to wait for a Tegra 3 tablet.

Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, but at the current prices I'm not ready to pull the trigger for something I'm not sure I would like. It would be really nice to win, and I guess if I don't have a use for it, I would just pass it along to someone else that would like it.

  • deruberhanyok - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    honestly just make it a part of the house. It'd sit on a shelf somewhere, get picked up, used to check e-mail, or imdb to answer that burning "who was in that damn movie?" question, or manage the netflix queue, and then just get put back down wherever I happened to be.
  • Interloper69 - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    1. At work - Android supports VPN and I would be able to coordinate meetings, join websessions, even edit google docs strait from my tablet. This would probably be my biggest gain from this.
    2. At home - Let's be clear, watching TV and browsing the 'net has become a lazy command center for us all as we have phones, laptops, TVs blaring at us all the time. This would help me finally stop being buried under piles of tech by consolidating to one device!
    3. Gaming - Love me some of the new RPGs and racing games that have come out. More please!
    4. Kids - OK fine Daddy will let you play for a few minutes.

    Pick me!
  • pertelotte - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I'd take it everywhere. I don't have a laptop, but the Transformer with the dock would be amazing. My PC is my work horse and I don't need a desktop replacement, I pretty much would just use it as a browser and media player. My phone's screen is too small.
  • FoolishFool - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I probably wouldn't use it at all, I would give it to my sister who has been dying for a tablet.
  • rikulus - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

  • cadderly09 - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I would love to win one of these honeycomb tablets because I think I would use it in the best way. I work in IT right now and it would be really cool to have one of these to help the employees of my company use their computers better. Also, I could use it as a teaching tool and show other people what android is capable of and just how great of a technology these tablets are. I recently lost my brother and have been struggling with it alot and this would just make my year, because he, as well as I, loved technology and always wanted to have the latest and greatest.

    while the transformer would be great to use around the house, I'd especially love to have one to use with travel this fall - large enough to be useful and usable for anything I could want to do, yet lightweight and easy to carry!
  • thornburg - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    It would be fantastic to win one of these.

    I could finally stop struggling with the small screen and slow speed of my "smart" phone (at least in places w/ wifi).
  • Huron - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I would really love a tablet, and this is the one I would choose if I was buying, but would love it even more if I could just win it.
  • sagar@anandtech - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I am a photographer and offer voluntary services to NGOs. This makes it difficult for me to manage money between photography gear and mobile computing gear that can help me edit pictures.

    I use online apps in Chrome browser for editing pictures (keeps costs really down). If I can get a tablet with Honeycomb, I can install chrome and the online apps on the go (in trains and buses) and do more work on the go.
    I really plan to by one of these powerful tables so that i can better manage my editing and storage work for photography.

  • CodeMonkey00 - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

  • JonathanYoung - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I would give it to my wife and hope she'd like it, because she is currently in the market for a tablet and has her mind set on a specific model, but if she doesn't, I'd keep it for myself and enjoy poking around my first touchscreen device.
  • Exirtis - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I'd use this tablet to explore what all the fuss is about, since I've not yet seen the light on tablets, and to experiment with the ways that it might be useful to me in my life and in projects—both work and personal.
  • Shukla - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I would sincerely appreciate it if you pick me (really on behalf of my co-worker). His son is autistic. He's a Marine and can not afford a tablet. Recent studies have shown that tablets have postively impacted kids with Autism. I can't afford to buy him one.

    If I'm selected, I will be more than happy to prove that I'm giving this to my coworker. He's not an Anandtech poster/user.

  • DrChemist - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

Villainous figures in general would much rather sit back and watch the weather channel than dare an encounter with me and my Transformer.

  • rauelius - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I've been on an RPG kick with my girlfriend and going through strategy guides online with my phone is annoying, and the pc is to far away, and the laptop is to cumbersome.

I could definitely use this for my new job seeing how they allow us to use tablets. It would save me money from having to get a laptop too. Of coarse I would also use it for personal needs as well. It would be perfect for work instead of me having to get a laptop and lug that around all day. I hope you pick me. It would feel great after all that has happened lately.

  • unixadmin - Monday, July 11, 2011 - link

    I've been on the fence about buying an android tablet for a while to start developing for Android as well as to see what a tablet can provide that a laptop cannot. I went as far as to pre-order an ASUS Transformer from Target only to see the order cancelled.

    The only things that are stopping me now is the rumored next generation of Kal-el tablets that can play High profile HD video as well as the fact that I don't know yet if a tablet is really necessary or cost-justified.

    I would like to see the price/performance differential between the current and next generation before committing the money for a tablet. It would be great to win a tablet to find out if the "tablet experience" is all that it's made out to be as well as to get started with Android platform development.

    Want to try a honeycomb tablet.
  • sav9797 - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I should be applying to schools soon, and I can't think of something better to have in a high tech, yet mobile environment. College students can't afford these nice things, but they really do need them. I hope whoever does get this really does need it (i.e. I hope a fellow college student gets it :) )
  • Benjaminady - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I work with young children with autism, and am studying to be a speech pathologist in order to be even more effective and excellent at helping and loving them. I'd use my new honeycomb tablet as a tool in my studies as a speech path student.
  • rbg08 - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    A tablet would be nice for casual surfing and email. The kids would love playing games on it.
  • Mxylplyx - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I'm going to cure cancer with it, and then feed hungry children. Or should I feed hungry children first? Either way, it will go to good use.

  • vishwagatech - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I would use my tablet to

    1. phase out my laptop at home and replace it with the tablet for most of my web browsing at home
    2. Keep tabs of various publications and books using appropriate apps
    3. To take photos and videos and other multi-media applications
    4. Play angry birds..hehe...love this game.
    5. For maps on long distance drives (10 inch beats 4 inches anyday)
    6. Subcribe to magazines and news papers
    7. Maybe do a review of the tablet from realtime performance aspect.
  • erikiksaz - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

  • jovuong - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    The Transformer would aid me in my battle against the monstrosity simply known as "school". With the tablet at my side, no longer will I be weighed down by an endless supply of books or continuously growing pile of notes. Instead, I would use the Transformer to slay the "homework" and "sleepless nights," the top generals of "school's" vast army. Choose me, allow me to be victorious in my never ending battles to achieve the title of "college graduate."
  • endlsswing - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    Probably a lot of web browsing; it'd also be handy for testing web apps I'm currently developing.
  • Paddywack - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    To be honest, I probably would give this as a gift to either my brother or father. To my brother because he travels around a lot and is very tech savvy. This would be a great addition to helping him work from office to office. Also, I would give this maybe to my dad because he works at home on his laptop after a long day at work so this would be a great addition for him :D

  • pmcorriveau - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I'd use mine to videoconference my toddler to the family we have all across the country. Laptops work, but he bangs on the keyboard, and they aren't nearly as easy to move around.
  • sunseteclipse97 - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    Off the top of my head:

    - Mobile entertainment for my kids
    - Entertainment for the kids during my wife's doctors appointments!
    - Organize our family schedule
    - One portable place for grocery lists, Target/WalMart trips, etc.
    - Catch up on TV shows and/or movies
    - Show others that the iPad is NOT the be-all-end-all of tablets :D

    That's just for starters!

    I'm in a series of "decreases" in life; cutting the cable cord, cutting the land-line phone, and I would like to attempt to even go as far as cutting a laptop! I'm hesitant about this and the cost of these tablets is a bit on the high-side for me to "just try".

    If I win I'd use it to try and simply my workflow, the amount of stuff I have to carry, and my life!
  • RRZ - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

  • Accidic - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    As she's fixing to have a baby I think the tablet would be much easier to use than her normal 17" laptop. It's portability would be enough of a bonus to actually justify the switch. And while she doesn't use anything with Android right now, I love my Android based phone. (I have no doubt I'll get stuck on getting this or that installed and/or working anyway.) I've tried the iPhone and I personally just don't like it so the iPad is almost my last choice. (And before the witchhunt begins yes I can live with the fragmentation, I've tried both jailbroken/rooted, and the feel of the Android even with it's faults satisfy my preferences more than the iOS product.)

  • SJRH - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    would do everything I do on my laptop without the boot-time wait and the weight. Paying bills online would be a breeze and my son would appreciate watching movies on a bigger screen with something he can actually holds. I might even get my Inspire 4G back from his little hand and free some room on my SD card from all his movies! Travel will also be so much better. Taking notes and accessing papers will be a lot easier at work as well. My wife will appreciate the upgrade from her netbook [as convenient as it has been over the past few years]. So Anandtech there it is: online access, movie viewing, note-taking and paper reading..all with a faster boot-time at a fraction of the weight of a laptop.
    Thx

    I have a lot of uses for an android tablet. Here are just a few.

    - In car entertainment (podcast, music, streaming), car navigation, hands free phone, kids babysitter, audible books
    - At home internet device, entertainment device, internet phone, casual games, e-reader
    - on travel device for all the same functions above, but also picture viewing, and personal movie device on plane where I don't have to worry about battery LIFE!

    I am not an android user (yet), but am very curious how android is. I had a WM6.X PDA and I really liked all the functionality of the touch screen and applications. WM PDA's didn't have as many apps though or games but I got a lot us use out of it. The mobility functions though is what I really want. The windows touch tablets are just too expensive!

    My dad has an Android Tablet, and I'm jealous. I would like to be his equal. Would be awesome for sitting around in the recliner, since "my" computer is upstairs and I can't use it while watching TV or movies with the family, and I'd like to check on my Simunomics game or do other online research and reading. I'll even read the Anandtech posts on a regular basis if I win this! Thanks...
  • kingdad - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    Note: I'm "dad" in my house; my dad is granddad and lives in a different house, but I'd take my tablet over to his house whenever I visit if I win.

    I would dedicate the tablet for my home entertainment, mostly. I would use it for streaming/watching movies, music, and social networking on my TV. Then when I leave and feel like I will need it with me, I will easily take it with me. It is the perfect tablet for whatever your needs.
  • Blaid - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I work in an environment that is always trying to lean toward the green side of things.

    I would use this to replace my current notepad and pen while walking around helping staff with their computers.

    I would take notes while at a staff member's computer, then come back, and sync them up with my battle-station, and increase my productivity 10 fold by not having to copy my notes down more than once.

    I would then take it on my hour and a half bus ride home and watch a favorite show, catch up on reading, or just browse reddit till I get home.

    Honestly, that is everything I would do with it. I would make it a productive part of my daily life.
  • 2tall - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

  • techdadreview - Tuesday, July 12, 2011 - link

    I'd use it to write articles on my blog as well as checking in on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. I'd also use it to keep myself and my kids entertained with games like Cut The Rope, Angry Birds and Plants vs. Zombies, as well as movies from Netflix streaming. I'd probably also use it to check on my fantasy baseball team, do some shopping on Amazon, read my favorite news sites using Pulse Reader and check traffic conditions on Google Maps before hitting the road.

    I've never been much of a fan of portable computers in general, but the Transformer instantly caught my eye. A great piece of technology with so many uses. I'd love to win this. Thank you for the opportunity.

    I would replace my laptop with this. I use my current Dell Studio 1558 mostly for consuming media and would definitely welcome the lighter load.

    Also, how do I update the email address linked to my account? I think the e-mail address attached to this ID is my old address.

    Right now in my life I am a full time student and a full time worker. I work all day and go to school all evening. I have a Samsung Vibrant right now, where I handle everything from storing my documents, pictures, music, and videos. I type all of my school work and work documents on Google Docs so I can bring them with me on the go. I also use Gmail excessivly to communicate not only between my work clients but also my teachers and classmates.

    Having a tablet I think would be extremely helpful for keeping up with my data on the go. Having my documents on a larger screen would make it easier to edit on the go. Being able to sit down with a larger screen would help me not only stay in touch with my clients, but I can also communicate with friends and family through social networks.

    Since my job also requires a lot of driving, having a larger Google maps on the go would be pretty nice to have as well. Seeing as how most of my life's information is in the Google Cloud, I think having an Android Tablet would really be a good way for me to access that data.

    I will do the following:
    1) Organize my day to day life of emails, social media, calendar Mgmt, on something more substantial than my smarty phone.
    2) leave my bulky, heavy laptop at home when I travel and watch movies on the transformer instead. I'll be the guy I envied on my last flight.
    3) MOST importantly, I will proudly and obnoxiously flaunt the superior product to my iPad owning friends and co-workers, and laugh when all they can come up with is, "Well, it has FaceTime..."

    I am a techno-geek and struggling writer. I have completed my first book and am currently working on the followup. I have looked around a several tablets and feel the Transformer has the right blend of power and versatility, by adding the dock, that I have been looking at using in the future. I see myself using this product to replace the Asus Eee PC that I mainly use for my writing, while being able to separate tablet for internet browsing and light gaming later. I am hoping to purchase one in the near future but winning this would be a supreme pleasure.

  • iron_guitarist1987 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would most likely use it to replace all my books and notebooks for school. It would be a lot more convenient to keep all my course materials (PDFs, presentations, notes) in one simple device. It would also be handy for receiving and replying to emails from work. And, in my downtime, I would pop-up some games and burn some time!

  • librarius - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would use either of these tables (although ideally the transformer) for IT work at my job, among other things. I have to run around to a lot of computers and input IP address and DNS info and so on, as well as keep track of which computer has been assigned which IP, and I'm terrible at remembering numbers. A tablet would be a perfect way to have easy access to the Google Doc where I keep my network information while I run from computer to computer.

    Also it would be great to have something to read on the can.

    I would use a new honeycomb tablet to help me at the local hackerspace. I am always looking up data sheets and rummaging around tech sites to find the reference information that I need to complete my projects. With a new tablet I could save valuable desk space (no more bulky keyboard and laptop base to take up project workspace!). I would also be able to more readily navigate the data sheets as a touch based interface is much more intuitive for getting around those documents.

  • HalifaxSamuels - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I'd use a GPS program to go hiking and record coordinates and use the camera to take pictures and video of where I went. Then I can show everyone the great places I had been on the nice big screen! My dad has traveled a lot in his life and I'd like to go out and try to get some of the same pictures that he got to see how things have changed over the years. Since I'd have the GPS coordinates afterward maybe someday my kid could go all those places and take their pictures again!
  • KTGiang - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

  • wyrdone - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    It would become the central item in a car computer build. The Transformer is perfect for this since it already has GPS, Maps, Navigate and media abilities. Couple this with a mobile hotspot or tether to phone and you have a perfect mobile computing system.

    Thanks.
  • prius56mpg - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    If I won a tablet, I'd use it to replace my wife's aging XP laptop that takes over 5 minutes to even boot (it's ancient!). This would be a great means of indoctrinating my wife into the ways of Android. Plus, since I just had to replace my HVAC system, buying a tablet isn't in the budget right now.
  • Nasty316 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

  • misskokamon - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    Not much sets me apart from the others hungry for this amazing tablet. I've been an Asus fan for years now, and I've had an itch to play with this lovely thing since the rumors first spilled onto the internet. I work in the social and mobile games biz, and I love fiddling with the apps others come up with. I'm a big reader, too, and I've wanted a tablet to broaden my ebook collection beyond the limits of the Kindle. On top of that, I'm an artist, and this tablet and I would get along splendidly when showing off my digital work on it's amazing screen.
    I've been in the market for a small machine to cart around with me (I'm also pursuing a writing career and need something portable for those on-the-go bursts of creativity) and, while I lust for a tablet, they're way out of my price range and a netbook may be my only option. (Asus, of course!) I'd much rather have the advantages a tablet offers, however. If I won the Transformer, it would never have a chance to collect dust--I'd use it every day, for a variety of tasks.
    I hope whoever wins this beautiful piece of machinery finds it as useful in their lives as I believe it would be in mine! Thanks giving us such a neat opportunity!

    I'll use the Eee Pad Transformer to vlog/blog while on being the run. I can type/take pix/upload on the fly, don't even have to have a cam. Though I wish it'll turn into a cool robot and fight along side me....but I guess nothing is perfect, I'll be happy with just this~ =D
  • pejsaboy - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I'm still wanting to get my first android device, and this Transformer tablet would be an amazing introduction to the OS. I'd like a tablet to replace my EEE netbook for handling schoolwork, attending livechats with AdobeConnect, and e-textbook reading. The convenience of the tablet over even a netbook would be awesome with two small kids running around the house!
  • gte1011 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would like to use the tablet to maintain a new blog I have created that captures my feelings during my struggle with trying to conceive. By having a tablet on me at all times, I can capture any little thought or emotion I may be experiencing going through fertility treatment.
  • smkomo - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    Pick me so I can have a tablet of my own, my wife keeps stealing the Xoom!
  • thenightarcher - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    If you chose me, I would probably use it for playing angry birds, writing code for small side projects, testing android apps, and writing to my blog. It would also spend a lot of time in my fiancées hands, as for what she would do with it, probably just about anything she could think of.
  • jnmigr - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    Need a bigger screen to play all my Android game and watch netflix on the go.
  • tepech - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    Looks like it would be so useful to look stuff up while watching tv, or working on car and you needed a service manual pdf, or take pictures or videos while taking something apart. so that you can put it back again. Countless uses in my opinion.
  • fast12lane - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would use it for skyping with my wife when I am on the road for work. And I would probably be playing games when I should be working!
  • HackAtak - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I have the ASUS SLATE EP121 and think its awesome. Give it a larger SSD and increase battery life a bit and its flawless.

    I have several co-workers and acquaintances who have the iPad 2 and after seeing my asus....they wish they would have waited.

    I think the direction of these slate type devices are going is good, assuming you want to do business related tasks in lieu of consuming media.
  • iamloco724 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I travel quite a bit for work so I would use a tablet constantly for movies, games and reading all in one device! I'd love to play with rooting and different roms as I can't on my work phone.
  • CoinSpin - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    How would I use one of these if I won? Well, as someone who travels quite a lot, using it as an e-reader and media device would be obvious. As a programmer who likes to tinker, I'd love to see what kind of user interfaces I could make for some of my projects. Bottom line: it would get used, and often!

Cant wait to check out www.anandtech.com on a tablet computer!

  • celebwendi - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would use a new tablet to extend my capabilities at work with remote desktop, my comfort when browsing or reading from the couch or bed, and to supplement my Pathfinder tabletop RPG with extra materials and resources while reducing the number of books I carry.

    ...but I'd probably just read comic books on it until the wee hours more than anything.

    Pick ME!!
  • Trippisme - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I would greatly appreciate if you would consider me for one of the tablets. I would mainly use the tablet in class for note-taking during my lectures. The included office suite would be very helpful for that. Secondly, of course gaming, you aren't going to get an Nvidia Tegra 2 powered tablet just for productivity are you? That would be like using a super computer to add 2 + 2. I have also been working on a DMX interface for Android using the ADK, and this tablet would be very useful for making a better tablet friendly interface compared to my current 4" phone(Samsung Epic.) Basically, I'd use it for everything I can, the options are almost limitless with the selection of apps available in the Market. Be it using it as a gaming controller for my PC, controlling my Bluray Player or Boxee, or just using the calculator(2+2 anyone?) This would also generate a $150 sale for an online retailer as I will be buying the keyboard dock for it if I am chosen.
  • obishinobi - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

  • Rathalos69 - Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - link

    I've done the research and I KNOW the Eee transformer is the best tablet on the market. (Until the transformer 2 comes out) And ALL my friends and co-workers have a tablet. I would LOVE to have this tablet! I don't have a smart phone, so I could really use the gps and other features I have to deal without. I also have an ASUS computer, so you know I'm a loyal customer. Thank you for considering me.

So yeah, even though the winner is randomly chosen out of all the comments, this would be my use for one of these. :D

    Becoming a College student within the next few months, I have been looking into the Transformer already and have found it ideal for my use cases.
    Media Consumption
    -(web browsing, watching movies, listening to music, viewing photos I've personally taken)
    Social Networking
    -(Keeping in touch with family and friends)

    I'd invest in the Keyboard Dock and also utilize it for:
    Productivity
    -(Google Docs/Office Suites)
    Casual Gaming
    -(Emulators, Popular Apps)
    I also hope to use it, to help with learning to Develop for Android, and appreciate the chance to win the Transformer, Thanks AnandTech

  • bdmunday - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

    What would I do if I won one? Use it to surf the web, play a few games but most importantly I'd use it to carry around the 400+ song lead sheets I normally have to carry around in a 6" binder and the some 200+ "specials" song lead sheets I have to carry around in an additional 2" binder for playing guitar at church. That would save my shoulders from lugging around an additional 5 to 8 pounds of paper, plastic, and metel that make up the binders. One would save me a lot of trouble. I could make good use of one as a tool, and occasionally a toy...

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    If I win this tablet it's getting loaded up with scifi and fantasy books! That and paradise island!
  • realityScaresMe - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

    If I win, mine will be used for school. Tablets are much more portable and cooler than carrying all those books around!
  • connectsandy - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

    Awesome. Give it to me.
  • pyrotechnomimus - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

  • callahan1140 - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

    I could use this to teach my wife how to use a computer. I am an IT professional and my wife is not very proficient with technology. It would be a great tool for her geneology research and keeping in touch with friends and family
  • goander - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

    I would love to have a transformer as I believe it could potentially replace my aging laptop that won't hold a charge. I would use it to type news articles for work, run the business side of my side business such as client lists and such, and would love to use it to potentially finish a comic that I started. The potentials of the transformer are endless and I will put it to good use if I am chosen.
  • yyaros01 - Thursday, July 14, 2011 - link

  • nickersonm - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link

    I'd probably end up using a tablet as an ebook reader and mobile web browser. I don't have a good mobile web platform currently.
  • Mapex - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link

    I would record myself wearing a leotard, dancing to Beyone's Single Ladies. I would even have a crotch-slip.

    I'll do it while playing Cut the Rope and commenting on Google+ at the same time.

  • a Bill - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link

    I'd give the tablet to my mother so that she could stay in touch with remote family without having to be tied to a desktop computer.
  • EvilYoda - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link

    I keep waiting and waiting to see what to buy...at this rate I'll never have a tablet. I'd actually use mine for work a good deal as it'll be great for a quick reference and video demonstration unit (facilitation/training).
  • bobby-digital - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link

    I want to build an app... We need more of those...
  • rubiconce - Friday, July 15, 2011 - link
