Before ASUS Transformer Prime was released, there were rumors suggesting that this hybrid device would be an ultimate replacement of laptops and notebooks. While it is a mere tablet with special features, its separate keyboard made it into something spectacular and rumors were starting to be true. ASUS felt formidable with its latest entry considering it received really good feedback from tech enthusiasts and the Android Community. Even non-techie people can surely appreciate the beauty and capabilities of this device. With a lot of devices with high specs scheduled for release this year, ASUS couldn’t just let Transformer Prime go down without a fight. Thus, an update was a necessity.
ASUS Transformer Prime latest update brings support for the Ethernet. It means that Prime owners will now be able to connect via a wired connection. This functionality puts this hybrid device in direct competition with notebooks and laptops. With its 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, it is way beyond what a normal laptop can achieve and considering its price and mobility, people would surely be shifting their attention from buying a laptop into getting of these devices. Besides, having a wired connection would ensure a fast, reliable and secured internet connection. The owners, however, are required to purchase USB-to-Ethernet adaptor to be able to take advantage of this functionality.
Aside from the networking enhancement, Transformer Prime owners would also be able to enjoy an enhancedlock screen through its new features and functionalities. An app called Face Unlock will enable users to unlock their devices through facial recognition technology. This time around, the owner would be taken by this device by his/her face-value, literally. Facial recognition apps nowadays have become so sophisticated that almost all angles of the face can be used to unlock any device, in this case its Transformer Prime. Moreover, users would be able to manage notifications on lock screen and bypass the home screen by going directly to apps.
While ASUS Transformer Prime was basically designed for office or corporate tasks its manufacturer didn’t forget to add some functionality for entertainment. That’s why this update also comes with a little enhancement for entertainment purposes. An HDMI to TV output has also been addressed eliminating display problems some owners have experienced as far as HDMI is concerned. Furthermore, owners of Prime can now be able to choose portrait of landscape mode while having the capacity to scale and crop images.
