Reception

[edit]

Reception for the Asus Transformer Pad TF701T was generally mixed.[5] According to a review on the YouTube channel "ROZETKA", "all of the ASUS Transformer devices look practically the same and their design almost hasn’t changed for the past three generations. The tablet doesn’t sit on the mobile dock very firmly and dangles around a bit when entering text."[11] During the same review, the reviewer claimed that the thick bezels around the screen give the tablet a bad look now that most competing devices have thinner, nicer looking bezels. A few other reviewers have praised the device and its mobile dock for its quick access to certain apps.[9] A criticised feature of the Asus Transformer Pad TF701T is its proprietary charging port that cannot be found in public charging spots.[5]
