Anyone was able to score Asus?

Just wondering if anyone was able to buy Asus today?

I was one the few that got in on the tigerdirect bundle yesterday. Should be in my hands in a few hours.

Mine is due in tomorrow. Grabbed it from NewEgg during one of the small windows where it wasn't listed as sold out, and because it's shipping from Memphis (where I live), I paid for 3-day and I'll get it overnight I was close to grabbing the Iconia instead because I hate having to chase things down, but hey, I lucked out ... though the Iconia is a great tab too, either way I would've been happy. But I think the Transformer will get more XDA love.

enjoy them.. Hope someone can post nice pics..

I really want to get this tablet, but the lack of a usb port on the tablet itself is making me think twice. It's almost like they're forcing you to buy the keyboard dock.

That wasn't an issue for me, I've already got a dock preordered. Plus the extra battery and full sd card slot on the dock is a plus since the only thing i use my usb on my gtab for is for my external hard drive. Extra battery on the dock will let me run alot longer using it.

Rootable tablet under $300?

Hey all, I am looking to get a tablet.
I don't mind getting a refurb or a good condition used tablet.
Here is what specs I am looking for:
10-ish inch screen
Rootable
Dual-core processor
HDMI would be nice
USB slot and/or memory card slot
Prefer at least 16gb storage
So far, I have found the Viewsonic gTablet, Motorola Xoom, the Acer Iconia series, or the Asus Transformer...any others I should be looking at? Of those listed, which are my best bets?
TIA!

GEt on cowboom and look for some Asus Transformers. And if those aren't your cup of Tea they have zillions of tables for around 250.

Got this for $176, worth it?

hi there. I just won an auction of Asus Tf 101 (with the dock) about 199 NZD (163 USD) with the shipping fee, my total is 176 USD. do you think the price worth it? previously I have bought some crappy android tablets, and this is my first bought something from famous brand. I mainly will use this to read books, comics, maybe watching movies and playing games, but these are not really priority.
Do you think that price is justified? I'm currently living in new zealand, the electronic price here is ridiculously expensive, and the newest one is still priced 400-500+ USD. which is insane since this machine was released 3 years ago. I actually wanted to buy lenovo s6000, but unfortunately they don't sell it in new zealand, and the price is exceeding my budget.
since I probably will use this tablet for 3-4 years, my questions are:
1. is there any way I can replace the battery? (I never bought any hi-end tablet because most of their batteries are not easily replaceable)
2. is it still good for current gaming? not that I like tablet gaming though, but it would be nice if this tablet can play popular 3d games in android
3. for you who have used it for years, can it replace word processing in laptop? is it comfortable to edit documents in this tablet?
4. do I need to put screen protector or it's okay to leave as it is since it's use gorilla glass?

1. Yes, but you shouldn't need to since the battery life of the tablet is very good (especially with dock). You need a Torx screwdriver (I forget the exact size) to open up the tablet to get to the battery.
2. It's OK, but not very good for newer 3D games. But this is Android, not a PC. The best games aren't 3D.
3. No. Document writing sucks.
4. No need. Gorilla glass is great. But it is very glossy and is a grease/fingerprint magnet. If you want a protector, I'd get a matte one.
Enjoy your new toy. Flash KatKiss (4.3 or 4.4) on it and you should be happy for a while.

thanks for your reply, my tablet will come in few days. I'm so excited to try it.
also just wondering, is it recommended to dual boot ubuntu touch / android? I have seen some people do that, it looks amazing.

I bought mine when it was released and still using it. I also own an Iconia A100 (7")
I used the Iconia for bed reading with Kindle app but use the TF100 for web browsing and taking notes in meetings, it still runs great with 4.4 Kitkat ROM mentionned in an earlier post.

my tablet just arrived today. it looked fantastic, wow. I guess I will root and install a custom rom later.

Is it worth buying an old 32GB Shield?

Hi,
I am looking for a shield tablet but confused about the battery problem. I found one used here for about 150 € and not sure if I should buy it. If I turn it on and IT gets disabled by nvidia, can i reactivate it? Or van I just install a custom rom before and be happy with the tablet?
Thanks!

I bought an 32Go and the battery is an B01*, so no problem, ask to the seller if the battery is an Y01* (check in the settings) and if yes don't buy it.

No, if it is y01 just make sure they haven't done the recall yet. If not, you get a brand new one and get to keep the old.
I would not buy if is already recalled, at least not for that much. Maybe $50 us at most.

Not for $150. You can get a new one for $200.
