I just returned my Prime to Best Buy due to the "Serial Number Unknown" bug. I don't feel like waiting for ASUS to fix all its issues, so I'm looked around for an alternative. I can get a brand new, 32GB, original Transformer for $399 from a reputable merchant. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger, but my only concern is how long will Tegra 2 still be fast enough. What do you guys think? $399 for a new 32GB TF seems to be a decent deal.
Most phones and tablets will continue to be Tegra 2 (and comparable) this year. The TF101 can be overclocked reliably to 1.5GHz. There are multiple problems with the next gen suport chips. I don't like being a paid beta tester.
Cheers!

I love my Transformer, I would easily purchase another one before I purchased a TF201..
However, since I already have a original Transformer, I'm looking to see how the TF700T turns out. That 1920x1200 screen really has me excited. If the Tegra3 GPU is capable enough to remain nice and smooth when pushing that many pixels, I will probably go that route for my next tab.
Thanks for the replies. I think I may order the TF101. The TF700 is overkill for me. Plus, I don't want to spend $600 and be a beta tester again. I learned my lesson the TF201.
The tf201 has way too many issues. I would buy a second transformer before I bought a prime at this point. Tegra 2 will still be be made for mobile devices for the next 3+ months at least.

Best reasons for Tegra 2 not being good enough: A.) You've got to have more cores or you an unhappy w^Huser; B.) You crave the most powerful THD graphics; C.) user specific needs (maybe 1080p video decode?)

I just placed my order for the TF101. With ICS and maybe an overclocked kernel, it should hold me over to the next great tablets come out next year.
I honestly could see using the TF101 for another couple years... I had a Droid Eris that I managed to keep around for over 2 years and this thing seriously flies in comparison.
If I do end up upgrading to the TF700T sometime, I'll probably still use my TF101 everyday in some capacity. I don't replace devices... if I get another, I'll keep using the TF101 til it breaks or is no longer relevant.

I'm the opposite. I buy something, and when I want something better, the old one usually goes on eBay. Sometimes people on there give me more than what I paid for an item when it was new, or pay me more for an old/used item than I paid for the newer model.
$249 or $499
Its $250 more worth buying the Tf700?
Or Buy the Nexus7 Now enjoy it and see what the next big thing its..
Help me decide...
PS:Its seems like ASUS energy has shifted towards the Nexus7.
When its the TF700 is going to get the JellyBean Android 4.1?

No one can solve this dilemma but you. It's comparing apples to pears: the screen's resolution is different, the underlying hardware is to a large extent different, the available storage solutions are different, the charging keyboard dock (which I find great) is obviously a definite plus.
Resolution is one area where these two are comparable due to pixel density. Both are at the top of their respective size classes and will have very crisp, clear text. The Nexus 7 is pretty much a mini infinity minus the dock, hdmi and sd.
But the problem is you don't seem to know what you want. If your interest in the infinity is based on it being the 'it' tab, not on any particular feature, it probably isn't a good buy. Think about what you want to do with a tablet, and think about which tablet meets those criteria.
PS Asus is a massive company, perfectly capable of juggling many different product lines.
What the hell,
Just order TF700 from Amazon...3 to 4 weeks wait. Damn......................
I just ordered a TF700T about an hour ago on Newegg, it's shipping out tomorrow, should have it in 2 days.
They seem to be out of stock again though. Glad I was able to grab one because of Newegg's notifications!
damn bro im in the same situation especially with the asus hybrid tablet ultra books coming out later with windows 8 and dual booting into android. but i need a tablet now and especially in the fall for school. but for 199$ the nexus is so temping damn
Had the same issue myself and could not decide until i really thought about what i needed it for....just like the person said in a couple of posts above.
Since i really want it for business first (I'm in sales) i realized i really needed the bigger screen and the ability too add removable storage.
i went to my local TMobile store and checked out both screen sizes in other tablets and it seemed that the 7" was a little too small for me.
While, i don't need a camera (since i have one on my phone) it is nice that will be able to take photos of documents and sales orders and email them directly from the tablet.
So I agree, think about what your needs are, and go somewhere to check out the sizes if you are not sure.
However....that said, i bought my wife one instead of an Amazon kindle, and it shipped already, and i ordered it after my 700

Only problem with the tf700 is the res is higher and the tegra 3 isn't powerful enough to run games as well at 1200p.... I'm waiting for a new cpu/gpu b4 I upgrade.... This TF300T is blazing fast and I'm running 4.1.1 with no problems.

All the reviews out there say otherwise. There's a reason they went with a faster version of the Tegra 3.
When Jelly Bean arrives, the screen will be the last of the issues we will be concerned about. Asus just released both devices but you can be sure we will likely see jelly bean in the not so distant future seeing how long they likely had the source code

Asus never announced a tablet that dual-boots into Android. It was a full size All in One desktop computer, that thing could never be carried around as a tablet it's three times the size of the largest Android tablet...

We will see Jelly Bean from someone soon. I think the CyanogenMod team might start developing CM10 for the Infinity, they just sent out a preview build of mostly everything running on the TF101 and TF201.
There were rumors before Jelly Bean came out that JB itself would be equipped (maybe parallels-esque) to dual boot windows for those manufacturers who wanted to put both on a system. Didn't pan out, though back then we though JB = 5.0. Maybe the real 5.0 will come ready to dual boot. But a number of Asus windows systems licensed bluestacks for android app emulation, perhaps that was what he was thinking of.
I am thinking about picking up a Nexus 7 for my son so he wont want to play games on my infinity. I still go back and forth between a 7 or a 10 inch tablet. Not being able to expand the memory on the Nexus 7 I think is a deal breaker for me.
My infinity TF700 should be here today..(UPS)
Why I,m i still thinking about buying the Nexus 7?
I believe that each tablet has different use cases. The Infinity allows for a little more productivity with the keyboard attachment as well as a incredible screen for viewing HD movies. The Nexus 7 lends itself to portability, reading (love reading Pocket on my Kindle Fire), and streaming content. To me the Infinity is better for me as I want productivity and all day battery life when I'm at school and/or work and the screen is going to be great for watching video on it.

i own both nex7 and infinity they are both great, i use infinity for all my tegra 3 games since it has a much better screen imo and faster gpu, plus has longer battery life with the dock, but on the other hand i take my nex7 everywhere because of the size and with the tab talk app i rarely pull out my gnex i just do it all on the nex7, so i would say infinity if your at home alot or sitting at a desk often and the nex7 if your always on the go and need portability.

Well said. I intend to do the same with my N7 and TF700. Got the N7 yesterday and TF700 will be delivered today
I feel like I've been cheated, I mean on paper this tablet is amazing, but the hardware doesn't seem to like the software very much, so the screen slows down the device but the CPU doesn't speed it up.... despite it being the fastest around, so I'm wondering if jelly bean is coming, I know Asus is busy with the nexus 7 and the windows tablets, but after all the infinity is their android flagship, they can't just give up..........

That's not very objective.
I guess he means 720 with dock. 719€ is the german recommended retail price.
Give Asus a couple weeks and the bugs should be fixed. They already came onto the forums saying that they were fixing the microSD issues, and the I/O issue shouldn't be too far behind. If you don't like it, return it, no one is forcing you to like this device.

In Norway its about 1000$ with the dock and 830$ without it
Same here, 64GB w/dock was the only option available and it was €720.
I bought the 64gb model from Amazon for $699 and the dock for $164 from Amazon marketplace seller and received a 201 dock instead with a sticker on it saying for 700 and 201 models. I could have bought a 201 dock for less. I feel a bit deceived.

Ray3andrei,
If you read your first post yourself, and try and do so with a unopinionated eye, wouldn't you come to the same conclusion -- it's not exactly clear you like the tablet, you feel cheated, it's not worth the money, you have a phone that is smoother (so do I, but that's comparing pumpkins to cherries in terms of hardware requirements).
No one can decide for you whether you should keep it, or to return it (or sell it off), but judging from your posts, I'd strongly suggest you to buy a less capable but smoother tablet instead of the TF700. You'll be far happier with it, have money to spare and get a beer for (or something else if you so desire).
As far as I am concerned, the recent reports of drastic improvements of I/O and UI feel with JB have urged me to wait and see if things are fixed. I welcome any user who finds new issues to please report in, but for now, the whine posts (the dataless rants that never bring anything to these forums in terms of solutions or fixes anyway) must stop. There is a time to lay down some pressure, and there is a time to let it slide a bit.
In my opinion, it's time to let it slide a bit. Just my $0.02 -- please feel free to disagree. (I realize I am just as opinionated on the subject, but antagonistic. No need to point that out.)
Guys, you have to see this...

Never got the OG Transformer but I had keyboard envy, lol!
I love my Infinity. It's the only possible replacement for my dearly beloved but aging Xoom.
I have had the TF101 AND TF201 and now I have the TF700T. Its the best unit of all of the Transformers tablets and very close to the iPad3 as far as what I ask of both of these tablets to do. I am also sure after the TF700T get the Jelly Bean upgrade that it will make the TF700T better than the iPad3, so much so I will be most likely putting my iPad3 on the eBay block. IMHO get the upgrade to the TF700T.

Much much smoother and fun experience
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
ilostmypistons: All Android devices are a smooth, and fun experience once you root them and get a custom rom on them. I am waiting out for the developing to begin. I owned the OG iPad, lamented the purchase afterwards, sold it, proceeded to purchase the OG Transformer, have not looked back at another tab since, followed ASUS. In my personal opinion as an Infinity owner, and previous OG/Prime owner, and it is only personal opinion certainly. ASUS defines the Android tablet experience, even if the devices have flaws at production. All devices have flaws, my Gnex has flaws, but while Samsung defines the premium Android phone experience, ASUS defines the tablet experience. Galaxy Tabs are nice, though they ultimately feel too 'phon(ish)' to me. I suppose if you are looking for a slightly limited device, with a highly diluted version of Android...tab away, to each their own, though ASUS defines it to me. The UI is not too heavily skinned, the Android is relatively pure (no less pure then a standard CM custom build) the hardware is intense, and I have used each of my tabs as a standard laptop replacement for about 97% of my online experience.
PS: Oh, and I have YET -knock on wood- to experience any of the defects people are mentioning in these forums, on my infinity, and the Prime defects, certainly not present. I have a C7 model, so relatively recent
PSS: All my own personal opinion, no flame war intended, to each their own lol
Had the tf101, have a tf700 now. Android feels pretty much the same as on the tf101 (same lag spikes when dragging the menu etc.), of course the performance in apps is better, the screen is better etc.
But one thing is bad: On the tf101 the release of the pad from the keydock was really easy. Snap and it´s off. On the tf700 i need some force to release it, it feels almost sticky. And yes, that was from day 1.

Bought the TF300, returned it for the TF700. Returned the TF700 as well. Android just isn't good on tablets - it's all lag city on every one of them. The Asus (or Tegra based) are the worst - more apps crash than normal.
On the Infinity I love the 1920x1200 HD screen. Makes for watching movies, reading and streaming so much more exciting and playing games are visually improved from your standard displays . Love the Super IPS+ , I can take it outside on a nice day and still be productive. The Camera is top notch on the Infinity! The best I've seen for a tablet device. Love the tablet Keyboard dock form factor with added battery life and more memory it has pretty much replaced my laptop. It can handle NTSF for the options of larger portable hard drives, that Windows consumer will love. Love the elegance look. I cant wait for Jelly Bean to hit. Fast updates is also very nice. It has its own issues just like any other tablet out in the market fortunately Asus has the quickest updates I've ever experienced. More then likely Infinity will get JB before Sammy.
So its really up to your needs. I love the Stylus on the Note. I'm an artist and would be nice to have something like that around when needed. Also the multitasking features of the Note is cool to! Infinity can do it as well but you will have to go to the Playstore and search for floating apps like Stickit or Overscreen. Although its hard to pry me away from all the features that I love about the Infinity. Both devices are powerful and fast. Maybe I'll just go buy the Note as well for my drawing needs....

Note has pen input
Samsung = high quality
open source, lots of custom roms
Odin = awesome
less expensive
overall very, very good tablet.
If you need a keyborad theres always bluetooth keyboards and i THOUGHT i saw a keyboard type dock tho not as awesome as the transformer's
Personally tho, i prefer the 700, i like that its thinner than the galaxy tab or note, i like the full sized keyboard dock with USB and SD slots, i like how its taken everything i throw at it and asked for more. I also love the extra battery life in the dock.
If you want the keyboard, go Asus. If your not going to use it that much, go Samsung.
I owned the tf 101 and the prime and now own the infinity. I think its awesome especially compared to the prime. I'm so glad best buy exchanged mine. I love the infinity. It's everything the prime should have been. I have zero issues with my infinity as well

Both will feature tegra 4, 2560x1600,microsd,front & rear facing camera I assume new Asus will be unlockable but nothing is definite-
Do you think Toshiba will have better i/o?
I wouldn't mind a change but I will wait to see how it plays out ?
IF Asus fix the I/O then I think with ASUS pedigree in the Tab market and hopefully strong Dev Community which is already here you'd feel and hope it would be the better purchase. But it mostly rides on the I/O will have to wait nearer the time I suppose.
Is there an a release date with it yet?
Haven't seen a release date, as it may have to depend on how fast they are cranking out Tegra 4 chips. I would go with ASUS based off their past performance in updating devices faster than other manufacturers. But like most, the I/O performance is going to influence the upgrade from those on these forums, or Toshiba or HP may be getting some customers. I would imagine an mid-July early August release for these devices.

The Toshiba 32gb apparently will be $100 less than the Asus. The catch is no keyboard dock option, or steady updates. They also like to use proprietary connectors, so no advantage there. If Toshiba updated more, I would lean more to saving $100. I rarely use my TF300 dock.
I think the Tegra 4 chip is going to be a watershed point and be a near death blow for some laptop segments. The iPad 4 is already causing it and this should be a near final straw.
Edit: Both 32gb models are same price, so getting the Toshiba IMO would make no sense due to lack of updates.

Well, I hope Asus has learnt from their mistake in ruining all of the good components in Infinity with I/O issues. This, however, makes me wonder what were they thinking when they released Infinity with such a laughable I/O performance. Mind you I eventually sold my Infinity. It was very frustrating to install ROMs one after another just to gain a bit of performance. Despite of loving Android as a mature OS, I am going back to iPad to focus on using the tablet rather than fixing mistakes of greedy careless hardware manufacturers. Are you listening Asus?!

Now cool down and read this: If it was not for the great work some of the developers do here I wouldn't keep it for a day. TO name a few, CROMI and CM10.1 really made it tolerable and even great in some aspects. But I cannot blame you for simply being a fan. There are fanboys in all of the camps. Android and apple.

Not a fanboy, I lack a few dangling bits between my legs for that.
I do not regret my purchase at all. I have not noticed much in terms of lag, certainly not as much as people claim there to be. Compared to my GT 2 10.1, which I most certainly do regret buying, it is razorsharp and very smooth.
Maybe others are too proud to admit a mistake, but that is a male ego trait. I have neither pride nor ego, let alone the need to defend it.
All I meant was that it is a little lame to go on an Android forum to say Apple is better.
I bought the Excite Pro, good piece of equipment, some cons ofc but i'm really enjoying it, to bad about support though.
Toshiba is pretty bad for update efforts. My Toshiba Excite 7.7 is an example. Toshiba are also awful with making efficient firmware that does not bleed the battery while in sleep mode. Even with wifi off it bleeds more than most tablets. Wonder if same for the new T4 tablet.
Got the Toshiba Excite Write!
And it looks to be a damn fine tablet. Antutu scored 28k+ and the graphics power is phenomenal. Has built in video and audio enhancements, seems pretty stable on this kernal build, although I expect an update soon because of a couple of weird quirks. The stylus works great (love the eraser by turning over the pen!), but not as developed as the Note 10.1, however, the screen rez is fantastic at 320 DPI and looks as good as the Nexus 10. The rear camera is REALLY great...best I've seen so far on a tablet, and the speakers are clear as a bell with excellent surround sound controlled in hardware, so anything you play gets enhanced. It does get a little warm on the left side under the camera when running an intensive app.
If you have any questions or requests, fire away!
Good day
From where you get toshiba pro or write i want to buy a new one
Thank you

I pre ordered from Toshiba and they shipped it the next day even though it said they weren't shipping till the 18th. I guess they wanted to live up to the Excite part...lol

Our guess is as good as yours. They have been really quiet since the reveal. I would guess mid August for back to school season
