[Q] What is the best tablet out there? - General Questions and Answers

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"

Acer Transform has my vote. Or the moto xoom! Android > Apple

I think that ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is good and if I want to buy tablet with Android OS, so I buy ASUS. But for now is iPad2 the best, I think.
Well, I don't know your budget and what you intend to use it for,
but I would certainly recommend a tablet with at least Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) and a Nvidia Tegra 2 processor.
The ASUS EEE Pad Transformer is one possible choice ... (as for the iPad2, it is a quality product but no thx).
So are u saying that the ASUS is the best android tablet out there ?

Rooted Nook Color is a good inexpensive tablet though lacks the specs of the higher end choices.
I want a tablet that has a very fast processor. Money is no object.i would mostly use it for video and games

Archos G9 looks good and cheaper, but it will come to the market somewhere in September...means not yet available today

I'd reccomend you get the Asus EEE Transformer. It's running the same Tegra 2 chip that powers quite a few other android tablets and with the keyboard dock will give you 16 hours of battery life.
It's priced well too

Andypad Pro? Cheap with resonable specs. Don't know whether it will be supported on XDA but I hope it will be so Honeycomb gets ported to it.

i am also looks a good tablet , SAMSUNG OR SONY
SG10.1 or AT
The best android tablet out right now, is the ASUS EEE Pad Transformer or Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I'm also in the market for a tablet and from everyone I talk to, it come down between these two. From what I was told, if you want something similar to the Ipad, then go with the Galaxy Tab 10.1... but if you are going to be doing a lot of typing and want a hybrid tablet/laptop, go with the Transformer. I'm torn between the two.
At first I though the Transformer was the best tablet out there, 10hrs battery life and then a dock with another 6 hrs, but then you need to always carry the dock if you want to have the extra battery life but now I think the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the best one because the battery life is about 10hrs like the Transformer, yet it's lighter and if you dislike the Touchwiz ui then go with Transformer, but if you don't mind it at all, get the GT 10.1
...
just to have 10 post lool
sorry the spam
I would recomend that you get the motorola xoom. It has a fast tegra 2 dual core processor that can be overclocked to a blazing 1.7 ghz. It also has a good gpu that has been overclocked 33%. It has the new android 3.2 honeycomb os. It has 32 gb of internal storage at the price o of$500. With the new android 3.2 it also has a fully functioning sd card. The metal frame while heavier than others, gives it a good quality feel. The easily unlockable bootloader also makes modding easier. Do not go with the samsung galaxy tab as the 32 gig model costs $600, and it has no sdcard slot for external storage . The battery life on the xoom is good and i can usualy get about 11 - 12 hous out of it.The Eee pad transformer is good, but if you want a keyboard you can always use a blue tooth one or get the usb connection kit for a usb keyboard.
I hope this helps and if it does please hit the thanks button

[Q] advice

i was just wondering which tablet would be worth buying? all input will help me thank u xda
asus eeepad transformer
my friend using it, so far he's very satisfied with it
You could also try the Motorola XOOM Tegra 2 Dual Core with 1 GB of RAM. The Motorola XOOM has the latest Android, and from what I know it's a pure Android experience. Also if you want to wait until 2012 you'll be able to buy a Quad Core tablet (ex: look at this -> NVIDIA Project Kal-El)

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
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
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

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

Well I have both, the Asus TF300T has a much more powerfull processor the Tegra 3 chipset and there are games made with that specifically in mind. It has a beautiful screen, very clear colors, sharp and crisp.
I mean to say overall, the TF300T is probably the better tablet. I pretty much bought my 3113 tab to mess around with and I kind of liked the form factor being easier to hold and all. I looked at it like a beta test for my upcoming Nexus 7 tablet I'm probably going to guy, which will give me the best of both the TF300T and the 3113.

Well if you are a gaming fan I'd probably lean more towards the Asus TF300T since it has the Tegra 3 chipset inside it.
