Hello everyone, im about to buy a asus transformer for about $230. It comes with a case, stylus, and is in very good condition. Would you guys say its a good price for that?
That sounds pretty alright. I got mine with a dock for $360 in november.
Although, there have been rumours about a Nexus tablet coming out for $200, which will very likely be faster. So depending on how you feel about that, you might want to wait a bit. I haven't heard anything about it having an option for a keyboard dock though, so if that is a big deal to you, the tf101 is still solid.
That's a good price, make sure there's no borked hardware and you're all set
Then check out the dev/general sections and get that baby rooted
i actually found one with a dock and case for 340.00 so i got that one thanks for the help guys

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.
Ok, so I ordered a used 32GB Transformer on Amazon at a great price, but was wondering even if it is either a B7 or B8 should I even bother keeping it cause I cannot get root? I mean will it really come? I will get it tomorrow and will know more if it can be rooted or not, but if it is not, should I just return it and get something else?
no i dont think you should get something else this is the best out there and allot of people have said that it is the first stock experience they were really happy with and with garenteed ics in the next few months that experience can only get better

Well I am just hoping even if I am lucky enough not to get a B7 or B8, that it can be done for all the others.
I got my used 32gb from Amazon a few days ago, it is a B50. I would be willing to wager yours will be the same. I think Amazon got a bulk purchase returned and are now reselling them. Also so you know, mine came in perfect condition, still had the protective film on the bottom and on the usb cord. It was missing the screen protector film, but otherwise you wouldn't know it was "used". Came in the original box with instruction envelope charger and cord.
the transformer is a great stock device. I've owned about 5 android smartphones(Droid, Droid x, incredible, fascinate, thunderbolt) and rooted them all to feel like they were worth it and usable. I haven't even thought about rooting mine and I got it when it first came out. this tablet is great right out of the box and wouldn't trade it for any other tablet out right now, especially if you got the keyboard.

That gives me a bit a relief, I ordered a 32GB "Like New" one for $311 shipped. I have good things about Amazon Warehouse Deals like new products, some say they "are" brand new for the most part, as you said. I will find out later today when it comes in...got to love Amazon Prime one day shipping!
I bought a new one and it didn't come with a screen protector

I was going off a youtube "unboxing/review" video I saw, it showed a plastic film thing on the screen. Nothing you would want to leave on there as it was thick and had lots of air bubbles under it.
As for Amazon prime.......omg I can't tell you how nice it is. For me I don't have to even do the $3.99 overnight, I am in Indiana the warehouse is just across the border in Kentucky so the free two day shipping means overnight to me 99% of the time. I actually got something the same day once
I've been keeping an eye out for another Transformer and figured I'd be able to get them on the cheap being people wanting to unload theirs in time for the new Asus Prime.
I've found this TF with dock, I know it's not the 32GB model but still looks to be in decent shape. Does this seem like a pretty good deal or should I keep looking?
Suggestions?
I am looking to sell my tab and dock pm me if you are interested

There are 5 days left in the auction and it's at $286. No way of knowing how high it will go, so difficult to say whether it'll end up being a good deal. Maybe look at some closed auctions...
If you wait until Black Friday, you can try to score one of the $250 tablet + $100 docks at Best Buy. $350 for the combo new seems like a pretty good deal.

I hope it is I just bought one! secondhand off ebay but seems pretty snappy so far, the keyboard is excellent, very good quality keys.

That's for the tablet sales. I remember seeing the dock at Best Buy for $99 somewhere else, but can't find the link at the moment.

Becareful what you wish for
In for the Silver... :good:
They must have sold out since its not listed as in stock until June 24th!
Now wheres that root method......hmmmm.
That was the original ship date of my new egg order. Maybe amazon slipped up and sent a batch out early? Every other retailer on amazon including circuit city is saying 24th now. Meh, nevertheless I am more than pleased with the product I have, even after thinking I was going to return this for a surface hope you all enjoy this as much as I do. I'll post an update once I finish these brray rips tomorrow.

Got mine and it went back the same day. Had a big black dot under the screen, not a bad pixel, maybe a piece of glue or plastic? Anyway, I bought it for the screen so that was unacceptable. I tried to dislodge it but no-go.
Was thinking of getting another but saw they changed it to preorder, so I might just wait on the Transformer Infinity. Otherwise in the short time I used it, it looked like a nice device. Construction felt good, decent weight and distributed very well. A microusb to usb adapter was included in the box... A nice touch.

That stinks! Sure hope mine's good to go (status: out for delivery).
Thanks, hopefully mine was just a fluke.
Would like to read your impressions after you've had some time to play with it... Gotta decide whether to try again or wait on the Asus.

Mine just showed up about 20 minutes ago!!!
And I'm pleased to say that yours was just a fluke.
I've already run the Display Tester app to look for dead pixels and what not, and my display is good to go! :good:
Its also in stock and shipping at Acer. A news item I saw about that was the only way I knew about this tablet. I've been waiting on the Transformer Infinity and the Acer wasn't even on my radar. The stats and the price are very appealing.
Ah yes, but who wants to pay $23 sales tax?

I too, had been waiting on either the A700 or Infinity. While I was leaning towards the Infinity, I was getting really sick of waiting on ASUS to get their head out of their ass. I figured I'd give the A700 a go and if I didn't care for it, I could return it within the 30 day window and keep waiting on the Infinity to drop State-side.
Same here, infinity looks great on paper, but after the qc issues I've seen firsthand multiple primes later, I'm sick of light bleed, wifi issues, and general lack of helpful and meaningful effort to make change on behalf of the company. I can tell you from experience the a700, it exceeds expectations.

I contacted Portenzo about making a case for the Infinity, and they said if they get enough requests they will. Everybody please send them a request. They have some great looking book cases for the iPad and Nexus 7 so far.

Definitely would be awesome if they created a case for this tablet.
Supporting!

Awsome, dropped them off an message. Looks awsome, to bad it costs an arm and a kidney. Well i cant really complain, just recently bought a noreve case
yikes - $125 to $150 is a bit extreme, imo. i think i'd rather get me a nice 64GB microSD card - plus a great steak dinner .
they ARE very very very pretty though!!!!!
doody.
I was talking about something like this with my dad some time ago when I bought the prime since my dad knows how to work with leather really good. he use to make wallets belts hats covers for seats and stuff.then I saw the portenzo and this topic hear also. it is kind of expensive but we got to know that their is other cases for 90 and 100 dollars out their and this is custom and hand made and made in USA.I still send portenzo a email mentioning this site and topic. however Im going to see if I can convince my dad to start a little project with me on something like this and safe some money.
