Wife is considering an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer....

Anyone have an idea how to set the browser to NOT use mobile pages?

I've looked through general and browser settings and can't seem to find it. She only uses it with a WiFi connection, so the mobile pages just suck.

No, wish I could. Try transformer forums? (yes, they exist)

use dolphin browser (or any downloadable browser) and set the "user agent" as desktop.

On a side note, I really did like the transformer when I had it. But, I had little use for it and I sold it for swap parts :sad: Getting a new laptop in the summer so who cares for tablets.

....so who cares for tablets.

She's already got a decent laptop she uses for taxes/making business cards and flyers and the like............this is something more portable, with better battery life she can use for keeping track of clients, appointments, etc.

Its not really the browser's fault, a lot of websites arent really developed with tablets in mind. Change the user agent string to desktop and you should be fine.

Like said, we use the fuck out of ours. Mine is more of a mobile entertainment and occasional work machine (the office suite on it is quite good and there are remote desktop apps to control my big computer from anywhere in the world). The girlfriend uses it as her primary mobile computer in the lab. They have tower computers for number crunching and running equipment so she just needed something to review data and present off of.

Thats what an ultrabook would be good for.

Tablets are devices for consuming media and nothing else.
