Showcased for the first time at the AsiaD conference just a couple of days ago, the Transformer Prime tablet powered by Nvidia's Kal-El quad-core SoC has now starred in a new series of pictures that give us a better look at Asus' creation.

The images were posted on a Chinese website, which was removed by now, but fortunately Notebook Italia managed to save a copy before the page went offline.

This new set of pictures show us in greater detail the keyboard dock used for the Transformer Prime as well as its new look that reminds us of Asus' recently launched Zenbook laptops.

Just like in the case of Asus' Ultrabooks, the 10.1-inch Transformer Prime also features a slim profile (this time it measures just 8.3mm) and comes equipped with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity and an SD card slot.

Initially, the Asus tablet will run the Android Honeycomb operating system, but an Ice Cream Sandwich update is expected to arrive until the end of the year.

Sadly, there's no info about pricing at this point in time, but more details should be revealed on November 9, when the tablet will be released.
