![]() At 6.9 by 10.7 by 0.6 inches (HWD), the Docking Station's dimensions are virtually identical to the Transformer. The consistency is nice, making the combination look like they're made for each other rather than two distinct products. The Docking Station is made to look just like the Transformer itself: it's got the same dark, brownish-gray/metallic color scheme, and the same geometric pattern on the back. It's a useful accessory that distinguishes the Transformer from other Honeycomb tablets, but the keyboard is small and takes some getting used to, and going back and forth between touch-screen and traditional inputs can be awkward. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Docking Station ($149 list) snaps onto the bottom of the Transformer, and turns the tablet into a netbook, complete with mouse, keyboard, USB slots, card reader, and more. Asus' response, it seems, was to give buyers of the Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 ($399, 3.5 stars) the best of both worlds. ![]() The line of reasoning goes something like this: Tablets are great for watching videos and basic Web browsing, but they're not as efficient for work as a keyboard-and-mouse combination.
