The Asus Transformer TF700 has brought several improvements over its predecessors like the screen resolution has been taken up to 1920×1200 to provide crystal clear contents on the screen. While the screen resolution isn’t the only factor to be considered to purchase the device, the TF700 has got a lot more to offer its users. On the back, you’ll find an 8 MP camera and the front camera lets you take pictures at 2MP, ideal for video chatting. If these specs lured you into putting $500 for a tablet, you’ve definitely got a great deal. The device owners will be happy to know that a root method has been found for the device, using which you’ll get a lot more from the device than what you could get with an unrooted one. So, buckle up and get ready to root your Transformer TF700.
