Transformer (Score: 1) by bryan@pipedot.org on 2014-10-20 21:49 (#2THE) I prefer portrait mode when the tablet is alone. But with the ASUS Transformer, I often have the tablet attached to its keyboard dock - which pretty much locks it into landscape mode.

I generally only use portrait mode when I'm reading an eBook (for which I always remove the keyboard and use portrait mode) or for some web sites, or even specific articles, that I think work better that way around. Probably that's just pre-conditioning on my part and that of web site designers; we're still used to the landscape orientation of desktop monitor being the norm, even though some recent web stats imply that most browsing for some sites is now done via phones and tablets.
