With the Eee Pad Slider coming "soon" according to Engadget, is anyone thinking of getting the Slider instead of the TF? Personally, I think the TF is still a better option because of the keyboard dock USB ports, SD slot and extra battery life, but I'm really beginning to like the Slider too.

Is the keyboard always attached to the tablet? the article don't explain that part.
If it does, then the TF is better for me since there is the option to use as tablet only or netbook.
Still, the slider looks nice.
No touchpad so no

Such a large sliding device is a little ambitious in my mind, have you watched any of the hands on vids from CES? I saw a guy open one and he had to be real careful to apply even pressure on both sides while sliding. I think the slider is a little too bulky, not that the tf is small but you can detach if you want. Just got mine in today and liking it so far.

Good point. Plus, it's missing the keyboard shortcuts. Plus, one of the nice things about the dock is that it protects the screen when it's closed. The Slider has no screen protection.
The slider is cool, but I personally prefer the detachable dock approach. That way when you are actually using it as a tablet you drop the bulk added by the keyboard, the slider will always be a bulky device even when you have the keyboard closed. In all honesty though I'm still in the honeymoon phase with my Transformer so that may sway my decision a little. Pricing will be a huge factor I think, if they can get the slider somewhere between $500-$600 it will do very well.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
the slider really is a cool device and a cool concept, but it's not really that practical.
With the transformer you can lose the keyboard when you want, and then dock it when you need it. Also means you can carry it around without having to worry about the screen getting destroyed.
and as it's been said. 2x USB ports and trackpad. good enough reason right there.
how about $449

doesnt the touchscreen render the touchpad at most a secondary input device, at the very least, useless? i have the dock with my tf and i mostly turn off the touchpad since i have the tendency to touch with when typing, causing inadvertent movement of the cursor.
I don't need a signature.

quite the opposite for me .... when i have the keyboard attached i find myself using the touchpad much more than the touchscreen ..... seems awkward to reach over the keyboard ..... of course my attitude might change over time but this way at least i have the choice

+1 When I first saw both devices, I wanted the weight advantage of using just the tablet i.e. 680g for just the TF vs 886g for the Slider!
and I'm sure you won't get the 16hr battery life on the slider
Another (small) point to make is that the angle of the Slider's screen cannot be adjusted to get rid of reflections etc like the transformer can.....
The article says the Slider will use the Atom Z670 processor instead of Tegra 2. Any advantages to this?

Assuming you can comfortably keep it on your lap with that form factor. From my lap height and with the screen that close to the keys i think i would be poking at the bottom of the screen edge a lot. Interesting design, but it seems a bit awkward overall.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
depends, the transformers dock makes it alot heavyer and thicker, if the sliders keyboard is ultra light and thin i could see it playing a huge part in the tablet world. and since there isnt a mouse pad u dont have to reach nearly as far to get to the screen to scroll.

For the lucky few who have their transformers, how is the build quality? I'm actually typing this up from my Motorola Xoom right now and really like it. But the transformers IPS screen is really drawing me. Also some of the other features like the dock, and front facing speakers. But the larger size is scaring me away. The bezel looks alot bigger the on the xoom especially length wise. Is it noticeable \ bothersome? I really like the xooms design and build quality
. How do you guys feel about Asus's? anyone with experience with both who can comment?
I have a few more days to return the xoom so I need decide if waiting for the transformer to come to the us is worth it.
Also is the transformers bootloader going to be unlocked for sure?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
its very nice build, does not feel cheep. there is a little movement on the back if you press it in the right place. but apart from that its perfect in my opinion. im using swiftkey tablet beta. which is perfect and makes typing on it super easy. and in portrait its super easy to type. im finding everything on it much easier to do than on my girlfriends ipad. i've always like asus since i got a eee 4g surf(one of the first netbooks). and a eee pc 1001ha(netbook). and always been impressed with there build quality and design.
cant say about the bootloader. but im sure people will try. i know paul from modaco. has a eeepad. and has all ready rooted and optimize it. just waiting for honeycomb source so they can deodexed the system allowing. custom kernels, roms, mods ect
You've been watching videos, but haven't actually seen one ?
The bezel looks big in the videos becasue you can't see the very nice old gold casing that surrounds the device, i may be a bit larger than the xoom or galaxy tab, but after you've picked it up twice you don't notice it.
the main unit, pad, is solid built, and most of the unit is metal, i will consider it heavy, especially if you combine the keyboard, as both unit has built in battery, but you do get over 14-16 hours of use, comment from asus rep, and it's very thin.

Yeah you can. The point is to be able to hold the device and type at the same time. With a tablet, it is kinda hard if the keyboard isn't split because it is physically hard to reach the center part of the keyboard.

What are the implications of the improved screen resolution? Someone mentioned eBooks... obviously 1080p movies. Other ideas?
Ughh... I know the new back plate is appose to help with the wifi, GPS, issue for those suffering from it. Personally i am not but that new back plate i think is yucky compared to the current.
But the higher resolution does grab my attention.
I think this will be unnecessary upgrades for the most part.
Resolution your eyes will barely notice.
Different cpu thats slightly improved.
plastic panel so it will actually work.
Everything else is practically the same.
The question is will it blend! At least if you are a original Prime owner and want a the new model when it arrives. The current dock will work with the TF-700. One less thing you have to buy i guess.

I wonder if the full HD resolution has any upside if you don't plan on watching a ton of movies on it? Wouldn't the text be much smaller, obviously. I can't see the resolution helping youtube videos out much being most of the HD ones are in 720p. I dunno if that made sense lol.
Reading text is a huge benefit. Big docs done in Word and Excel will also be much easier to read and manage with a higher resolution screen. If your video library is done in 1080P/MKV not only with they look better they'll play better because they'll no longer have to downscaled buy the GPU and s/w to fit a lower res screen.

If you look at the pics and video of the TF700 and Acer A700 the UI seems to scale up so it seems that icons and such will be the same size. In-app icons and navigation buttons would be smaller I'd imagine.

Gotcha, makes sense. When is the 700 due for release in the USA. June? Id gladly hold onto my Prime for 2-3 months and sell it a few weeks before it arrives "IF... i decided on it". Im sure there will be plenty of vids on youtube of people over in Europe that get their hands on it first to test soon. This way i can decide is it really worth it.
Since the Prime is mentioned as being "for early adopters," one wonders then if other models--being more mainstream--will have bootloader unlock. Somebody should ask Gary Key.

The date of the availability of the Infinity is very important.
It should replace the TF201 and the 300 series should replace the TF101.
I expect the same range of prices of the actual products.
In terms of diferences between Prime and Infinity, the improvement of the Wifi and GPS with the plastic part on top of the pad should be main thing.
The screen resolution wil not benefit for 95% of the users.

its your device getting hot?
It got warm to the touch after downloading and installing over 150 apps in a row. But I gave it some time to rest and it cooled off. It never got hot enough that it was uncomfortable like a laptop. But yes it was noticeably warm.
Not really...
The Acer A700... THAT bugger got HOT. The TF700 has not gotten anywhere near that.
My infinity will only get 'warm' to the touch after an hour or more of gaming. It heats up on the upper-left back of the device (presumably were the T3 SOC is located) but nothing that even approaches the heat of the A700 or anything that I believe is a dangerous temp. One perk of the aluminum plate design, seems to act somewhat like a heatsink as well.

The Infinity gets hot on the left side in landscape mode when using IPS+, otherwise no problem!

yep, while i was downloading my apps, i felt it get warm. but after i was done, it went away.
Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary so far, but then I do not game on the TF700. I have a desktop for that. Normal mobile use did rise the temperature noticeably, except indeed for the installations running after either inital setup or factory reset -- I ran that while reading a book on my bed, the TF700 standing in its dock beside my pillow. That's the only moment of heat buildup I've noticed so far.

Well no need to root and no need to stress test if we only wanted to see what temp it will go up to.
The ambient temp is around maybe 27-28C since there's no fan in the tablet, all heat has to dissipate through the back shell.
All you need is stock player, stock FW, and a VP80 1080P video file, yet I've seen it (System tuner) reporting 79-80C after 1-3 minutes into the video.
So not much to compare between devices, the source of the heat problem is processor itself.
There's nothing you can do about it, until they upgrade to a more advanced silicon fabrication process such as 22nm.
Interesting temperature range -40 to 85C (but it's for another product, and lets assume Arm CortexA9 is able to operate at this extreme heat of 85C)
If you'll look up in google "cortex-a9 max temperature" first link.
And when it does over heat (don't know if there's any thermal protection) obviously the processor doesn't throttle against temperature which means it might smoke(?).

They wouldn't design it so that it looks like it would on a desktop. That isn't usability to anyone to have a ton of white space on a website. They utilize the screen as much as possible. It mainly means cleaner text (not being able to see pixels) and being able to play HD content. Outside of that, you won't see that many use cases for the extra high Res screen. Same as the new iPad.

The purpose is better is cleaner picture quality.
Android is mostly resolution independent by design(this is a good thing). This allows display elements to be the proper size no matter what resolution the device is. However, if you want more screen real estate then you should adjust the lcd density in Android.
To give you an idea, the TF700 is lcd density 240 while the TF201 is 160.
If you changed the lcd density to 160 then you would see much much more real estate.
This can be changed by any number of apps or by modifying your /system/build.prop file. I don't know of anyway to change this without root.

now when I attach my Transformer to my HDTV, my HDTV sees a 1080p connection and displays ICS in high resolution. Before when I had the Prime the 720p was just not up to snuff over HDMI with my LED HDTV.

However, I don't like the scenes where you previously couldn't really discern shaving errors or pieces of **** or strings of ass hair or boob job scarring or worse while you now get to witness that up close and rather personal in glorious full HD resolution. Also, previously, I'd never imagine ducking away during a train commute to evade the threatening physical consequences of an on-screen "finishing move" --- glad this is not a 3D screen.
EDIT: in this regard, there is no tangible advantage in having crisper text and such, since this filmic genre usually lacks relevant subtitling.

I will reiterate the sharper text but add another perspective. The sharper text may not seem like a big deal, yet once you are use to it, it is hard to go back. Heck for the first time i am even looking into hi rez laptops.
Many ipad 3 users will say the same thing about ipad 2.
Its kinda like asking why people get HDTVs and dont stick with the old CRT screens.
Personally, I got it mainly for the higher resolution, albeit significantly more light bleed and other issues. I had the TF300, and Acer A500, and others before hand with no similar issues.
All for the same reason that I got my laptop with a 1080p 120hx 3D display. Things just look better.
My only real complaint when it comes to the higher res, if the galaxy on fire game has smaller controls, and gets a little annoying. lol

I have been using a Transformer since the original. I just don't understand how someone can not love these things. I go from furiously typing notes, documents, and spreadsheets at work conferences to taking pictures of slideshow presentations to surfing the web, to watching movies, reading books, hooking it up to the TV in the hotel to stream what *I* want to watch.
I am a big fan of instant gratification and I do not believe there is another series of devices on the market that give these to me. Sure, I can probably do most or all of those things with another device, but no where near as seamlessly and efficiently.
Asus has the fastest update. That's the no 1 reason I go for the infinity. I think galaxy tab 10.1 just got their update to ICS while the transformer OG and prime got updated long long time ago
The stock calculator looks exceptionally well on an FHD screen.
Boots fast
Good video camera
My wife on my wallpaper in full HD . Yeah baby!!
Asus is basically an OEM company that doesn't have the raw marketing muscle of apple or the hardware monopolies of Samsung. It lives and dies by the quality of its products and I've been happy so far with all of my asus products. The Prime did have a lot of issues but I believe it was simply too ambitious a device and Asus did its best to fix issues.
The fact that they make the Nexus 7 too sealed the deal for me. Who else is going to get ICS faster on tablets than asus?

I think you mean Jellybean. ;^)
For me, the screen is sooo beautiful. Also, I'm actually floored by the incredible battery life I'm getting with the keyboard dock connected. I literally take it off the charger at 5:30 a.m., use it heavily all day (assorted activities, screen on a great deal of the time), and only once did I need to charge again before midnight. Most of the time I still have more than 60% each left in tab and dock when I got to bed.
I really haven't experienced lag or any of the I/O issues some reported. My TF700 is flawless. I really love it.

The camera quality is great! Even though prime had the same camera, both of mine took ridiculous quality pics. Worse by far than my cheap ass 3 mp phone. I'm going camping this weekend, and NOT taking my stand alone camera since my Infinity takes such beautiful shots.
I'm still playing with my new purchase and getting the necessary apps installed. I'm finding a few quirks with the interface and the touch sensitivity is a little different from the Galaxy Tab 10.1. My screen has very minor light bleed around the edges. Not is pristine as the Tab 10.1 screen but not distracting either, so I'm keeping my Infinity.
The good is expansion, expansion. Two card slots and a full USB with the dock plus a keyboard. I had to use a USB hub with the USB dongle along with a card reader, mouse, and keyboard with the Samsung. A little cumbersome for a tablet. USB Ethernet works right out of the box, no driver installs or rooting. All of my USB sticks and memory cards work. The external hard drive I have is detected but it is formatted NTFS. All I have to do is move the stuff off and reformat exFAT so I can use on both the Infinity and PCs.

The infinity has an extra lens, and f2.2 aperture, but a much better camera indeed
