Asus Rebrands Its Tablet Line To “Transformer Pads”, Launches The TF Pad Infinity & TF Pad 300

transformer-infinityOnce upon a time the Asus Eee brand held some weight. The Eee name debuted with Asus' netbook line, which nearly instantly set the bar for low-cost, but still quality, computing devices. That's why the Eee brand was used for Asus' first tablets. But now, in 2012, with netbooks quickly fading into irrelevance, Asus wisely decided it was time to retire the name. From here on out Asus tablets will be known as Transformer Pads. Along with the rebranding Asus also used the Mobile World Congress stage to announces two new tablets. The TF Pad Infinity is the first model in the new high-end Infinity line while the TF Pad 300 aims for the budget market. Both are styled similarly to the original Transformer Prime but seem to pack slightly different components that shouldn't cause as many headaches with non-functioning components. Sorry, early adapters. You were beta testers. Both of these models are better equipped than the two-month old Transformer Prime.
