The IPS panel provides excellent viewing angles with the only problem bring the reflectiveness of the glass.

Hardware is rounded off with a good set of ports and wireless connectivity. The tablet has a combined headphone and microphone 3.5mm jack and a Micro HDMI port while the keyboard dock provides an additional full-size SD card reader and a USB 2.0 port. Wireless connectivity includes 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and GPS.

We've mentioned the keyboard dock a few times -- it is a key element to the Transformer Pad 300. Using the keyboard dock with the tablet is a joy. We found having a keyboard and trackpad in addition to the touchscreen a very useful feature. It also makes transporting the device easier because it docks and folds together like a laptop.

While the keys are small, they are surprisingly easy to use and there are handy shortcuts keys for different elements of Android like Home and Menu. The trackpad is also small but multi-touch input is seriously handy for moving between home screens or scrolling around a web page.
