The Asus Padfone launch!
RM2399 – Padfone + Padfone Station (the tablet).
RM179 – stylus.
Keyboard dock – additional cost – Price TBC.
Worth it?
The Asus Padfone on the left and my Asus Zenbook on the right! 🙂
This is the “wow” factor of the ensemble – being able to “dock” the Padfone into the nifty hidden compartment of the Padfone Station (the tablet).
The Padfone – a nice pocket size, sharp screen, light but with a solid build (read: non-plasticky).

Any burning questions?
Ask here! Leave me a comment! 🙂
Goodness, I still have no clue how to decipher all of those stats! You are a clever girl 🙂
LOL! Not quite clever, I don’t really know technical stuffs, just the look and feel and I give my comments from a lifestyle angle 🙂
u got test it yet? how bout the performance? as smooth as your one x?
Oh no , haven’t ran through a thorough review.. just touch and played with it for a bit only at the launch!
More pictures, please… 🙂
HEheh! Updated! 🙂
Looks not bad! Price also quite reasonable. Just worry bout the performance 😉

Lovely stuff, appreciate the write-up once again. Remember the contest. 🙂
I will! 😀
Awesome.. Hey will watch out for your review ok? 🙂
Yes, next week! Can’t wait 🙂
Media price??
Unfortunately no news yet 🙁
worthy or not? how much for the keyboard? full spec how much? i Love it so much…
It’s a sleek machine Mon!
But really really depends on what you’ll be using it for. It’s a tablet essentially, made better with a dock that provides even longer battery hours.
the keyboard cost how much?
I’m not sure now, as the price may have changed since I posted this.
Also, if you own a Padfone, then you should go back to the same supplier that you bought it from! Sure get better price no? 🙂
where we can buy asus pad fone in bangkok?
Huh? You mean it is not available yet in BKK in major IT stores? Asus store perhaps?
where we can buy the keyboard for padphone… im looking in low yatt but cant find it…huhuhuhu..
Oh really?? Drop me an email. maybe I can ask Asus
If without the pad, can the phone operate not?
Of course dear!
The phone can operate without the pad, but the pad cannot operate without the phone! 🙂
