Asus Transformer Tablet: Surprising Second Best in Sales After Apple iPad

Performance is pretty good too:
Asus Eee Pad Transformer might be the fastest Honeycomb tablet

Looks like it's about to get even faster, with a bump to the Nvida Tegra
3 in October:

The price is expected to remain at its relatively low $399 (and that's
list; if you shop around you may be able to find it for $349, and I've
seen one seller offering it at $329).
Buying tip: go ahead and splurge for the keyboard dock at the same time
(list $149). It really expands the usefulness of a device, and has its
own battery so it doubles battery life to up to 16 hours. I got the
tablet first, being somewhat unsure of how much I'd enjoy the
Transformer. Within days I was hooked, and made a second trip to the
store to pick up the keyboard. Very happy with the combo.
Buying tip #2: The Transformer comes in two models, 16GB and 32GB. But
unlike the iPad, the Transformer comes with additional storage slots:
MicroSD on the tablet itself, and SD on the dock (in addition to two USB
slots on the dock as well). So while the 16GB model is probably fine as
it is, if you need more space you can just drop in a MicroSD card
instead of having to upgrade the device.
