[Q] What is the best tablet out there?

Hello,
Am looking around for tablets. What is the best tablet out there?
Tegra 2/dual-core atom or better. Price below 400$ for brand new.
It must be hackable/moddable. Should have an active developer community or open platform.
Would consider Android, Linux and Windows.
Following options are on my list,
Toshiba Thrive
Asus Transformer
Acer Iconia - Tegra version
Motorola Xoom
Am open to more suggestions.

The best available dual-core tablet available is Asus Transformer. It has good community support, and the tablet itself its great.

I'd go for Asus Transformer, just cause it asus!

He said dual core or better so I guess in terms of futureproof, I'll be the guy to offer the Transformer Prime, otherwise, the original Transformer.

I don't think the Asus Transformer Prime costs below $400.

Thank you guys. Yes, prime is 500$ - not below 400$ but I'd be more than glad to pick Prime over the TF101 if you can find me a 400$ deal. =P
But, I don't think Tegra 3 is future-proof. I've been hearing an octa-core is brewing in the kitchen. Nonetheless, sometime back I used to see these 400-500$ Windows 7 Atom tablets. I wonder what happened to them. It'd be really nice if Acer would offer an Ubuntu version of W500. W500 is dual-core AMD x86 and runs Windows 7 Home Premium and costs 500$ but if they make the cut on Windows 7, they should be able to roll out a 400$ x86 Ubuntu tablet.
As of now, am seriously considering Transformer original or Thrive. (Thrive has full USB ports without adapter while Transformer has active dev community. )
And, didn't anyone roll out an AOSP tablet? You know like those developer phones with vanilla Android.

Sorry I missed the $400 part.

Ya asus tablet is nice, all I can afford is nook color running cm7.2
HTC Wildfire S VM "s-off rooted stock Rom"

Best Tablet Out There
Acer Transform has my vote. Or the moto xoom! Android > Apple

Best Android 4.0 tablet out there?

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for a really good Android tablet (version 4.0 - ICS). Great display, 1GB RAM, and Dual Core or Quad Core CPU.
I am checking the web and there are tons of tablets. Samsung is NOT the only option. The Chinese versions seem very conveniently priced.
So, what is really the best and fastest tablet out there today?
Thanks

Toshiba Thrive is AWESOME! But little development and no ICS YET, but is scheduled to get it

I've heard really good things about the Asus Transformer Prime and so far they've been really good at keeping their products up to date and supporting them. I've tinkered around with one in Best Buy and was impressed. Sleek and fast. And it's quad core

I can't say enough about the Asus Transformer Prime w/ dock. Very high quality device.

Also think the Asus Transformer Prime is awesome!

Don't buy the Prime just yet! Wait for the Asus Transformer Infinity or the Padfone!

Best and fastest tablet out right now? Nothing other than the awesome ASUS Transformer Prime.
I still prefer iPad due to the selection of Apps (Android is severely lacking here), but Android is awesome for its customization and openness,

I currently own a Transformer (original) and I would highly recommend the prime, if it lives up to half of what my transformer does it is an incredible tablet. Also has a good amount of development and is a powerhouse

Try Iberry Auxus It Is Cheap ANd Very Good

has to be asus TF !

I have an Asus Transformer Prime. It is really great. Not only the prestations but also the design of the TFP. I recommend you to consider the Asus Transformer Prime!

Motorola Xoom is the best one I tried so far, with ICS of course.

TF Prime. I have had it for 3 months now. Monster.

One of my friends has the Asus Transformer Prime and it's great.

Motorola Xoom:
Make it a GED and you can't go wrong, just got the 4.0.4 OTA update, it runs so smooth

Transformer Prime is on top right now. and the dock is a MUST have for this tablet.

if u want for development then try auraslate lifepad

Yeah, the Asus Transformers Prime. Its Awesome.

Only downside of the TFP is there aren't really good ROMs jet.

(Q) planning on buying a tablet...

Ok so I want a tablet that Has good specs a larger screen(8+ depending on resolution) and something that I can install Ubuntu on... A dual boot would be nice. Also I want full sized usb ports... I have 2 so far… the toshiba thrive.. and the lenovo thinkpad. I need ideas.. you guys are experts!

No one has a suggestion?

Guys.. nothing?

With this options, I prefer the IdeaPad. But, you don't like Asus devices? Four example, Transformer prime and infinity have a great specs, large display with a really good quality and full size USB Ports

Thanks for the replys... I might go with asus I don't know.. though I don't really like the google tablets.. not built very good in my opinion.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 w/Caulkin's ICS. Runs buttery smooth.

I love my Acer Iconia A500. Built quality is really good, full size USB port, OC at 1.5GHz, good cameras. You can pick a refurb one up for $249.

I forgot I want a good rear camera as well... I might try the Acer Iconia.

I have an Acer A500, 16GB version, and it runs the heck out of all the apps, but I don't do much of anything with it, the laptop is dual boot with ubuntu and win7, but i can't come up with an idea as to why you'd need to do that to a tablet.
I guess there are way more people that have way more going on with their life than I do lol

TF300 use an underclocked version of Tegra3 where A700 use an higher end version. And most important A700 feature much better resolution. TF300 should be better compared to A500 or A200.
All question is what you want do with your tablet.

TF300 use T30L version of Tegra 3 (just like Nexus 7 for example), where A700 or A500 use normal T30 version. There is even an high end version called T33 used for example in Transformer Prime.

does the a700 have a micro sd or no?

New ASUS Trasformer Infinity forum?

Hello, just hoping we can get a forum up and running for the new Transformer Infinity announced 6/3/13?
2560 x 1600 IPS display,
Tegra 4 processor,
docking keyboard, etc, yada yada yada...
Last tablet I bought was the OG Transformer and anyone who bought that should remember the nightmare that was finding an available pre-order to purchase. The forum was a huge help in keeping up on the supply.

The tegra 4? Has Asus gone mad? That thing is having MAJOR power issues!
Also, only 32GB and no MicroSD? Meh, I'll keep mine.
