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.

Is this 3G?

Hey guys, does this have 3G capability, how can I tell if it does, is it another model?
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C...228&sr=8-3&keywords=asus+transformer+infinity
Also do you suggest me to look at another tablet before this?
Thanks!

No, it is not 3g or 4g. If it was it would say so in the description.

Nope, no 3g. It's a 64gb model (more problem). I suggest you to get a 32gb model ( a lot cheaper) if you decided to go with Asus transformer Infinity. If you want a smooth working table try the Galaxy tab 10.1, this one will have lower resolution screen + less bell and whistles than the Asus.

No 16gb Infinity

FYI, the Infinity comes in 32gb and 64gb, not 16gb. My 32gb Infinity works fine. No lags, or other issues.
It walks my dogs, makes coffee for me, gives me recommendations for the best stocks. I've made millions in the last month thanks to my Infinity. (Obviously the previous two sentences are complete fabrications).
Seriously, its a great tablet with an awesome screen.

Thanks, I'm looking for a tablet that will play games really well, and give me a relatively long battery life when just browsing internet or such, I was comparing this to the Galaxy Note 10.1, however the specs of this has made me change my mind completely, as it's much more faster too.
I can't seem to find a 16GB model that you have mentioned,only seeing a 32GB and 64GB
Thank you for your quick responses guys!

Sorry, it's my typo, there is no 16gb. Only 32gb and 64gb. Get the 32gb. This device can hook up to your external usb hard drive where you will have plenty of storage space.

Is amazon a good place to buy this, because I live in Australia and I'd probably end up paying $800 for this tablet which is around $488

It's simple to see:
TF700T = Wifi only
TF700KL = 3G/4G LTE
If you want both 3G and gaming, you're not going to find it. The 3G variant comes with the Snapdragon Dual core, NOT the Nvidia Tegra 3 Quad core (which is for gaming).
Asus site:
Qualcomm® MSM 8260A Snapdragon™ S4 Krait Dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU (3G )
NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 Quad-core [email protected] 1.6GHz (WIFI)

Nah no worries man, the only reason I wanted to see if it was 3G is so I can find a cheaper version, I can't afford to pay another $50 for only 1GB of bandwidth per month here, it's just not on.
Thanks though.

If your penis is so small you need to compare a phone with your tablet.
Yes, then you got beaten.
I for my part never understood why anyone would need that power in a phone.
Okay maybe some people like to charge their device twice a day...

I laugh at everyone that say they are going to wait for the "ultimate phone".
You might as well just never buy a phone then, since not even 6-months later something WILL be better then what you have.
The only thing lately that hasn't been changing so fast in the tech world has been TV and Desktop computer parts.
My SLI GTX 580 setup (which is coming close to 3 years old), is just as fast as a single GTX680, if not faster in some cases!

The note 2 already surpassed it in performance. I have both and I love my TF, but the performance of the note 2 is considerably better.
Beyond that the DNA(though I'll never buy HTC again) surpasses even the note 2 in performance.

I-Dig!
WOW... You said it all! Good one...
You will most likley pay 600.00 and a 40 year service contract wid the carrier.
Lets see, hmm, how long is my service contract with the TF700t... Oh yeah I don't have one.....

The Galaxy S4's specs are just speculation, but I am sure most of us here know that there are many devices that are CURRENTLY available on the market that can easily surpass the tf700 just by comparing specs. Tegra 3 was already outdated the moment the Galaxy S3 was announced. Just to name a few, any devices with Snapdragon S4 Pro and Exynos 5 (LG Optimus G, LG Nexus 4, HTC Droid DNA, J Butterfly, Galaxy S3, Note 2, Note 10.1, etc...) will surely give you better performance (both overall and graphical performance) than any Tegra 3-powered devices (including the tf700).

all the samsung/exynos devices you mention there are Exynos 4 devices and those have the Cortex a9 cores as Tegra3, i guess gpu wise the Exynos 4 mali 400 could be faster
And if we speak now of a new 8 core exynos then i guess we also should speak that we have a 5 core A9 in our system!! the Exynos 4 of the Galaxy S3 is only a 4 core...
But thats all crap and marketing the Exynos 5 Octa is just a quad core you system/os will never see 8 cores only 4 just as we see only 4 and not 5

I remember people saying that about 1ghz phones. Then dual core phones. In 6 to 12 months quad core phones will be the norm and someone will undoubtedly say "There is no need for 8 cores in a mobile device".

it will be a while before we get real 8 cores in mobile devices..
even the next arm chip: http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a50/cortex-a57-processor.php
is designed to be a quadcore setup in single processor (they do support clusters of those again but i guess thats for servers)
And we only get now the A15, Nexus 10" being the first, no phones yet.

Oops, I was thinking about the Nexus 10 when I was talking about Exynos 5. You're right, it should be Exynos 4 instead. Nevertheless, it does not change my point about Tegra 3's being outdated. For instance, when it comes to memory performance, Tegra 3 only has single channel memory controller as opposed to dual channels found in almost anything else (from Apple, Qualcomm to Samsung), a fact that is readily taken advantage of by Amazon when they introduced the Kindle Fire HD (TI OMAP 4 vs Tegra 3). Overall, if you follow articles on Anandtech about mobile SoCs, Exynos 4 gives you much better performance and more power efficient.

There are two types of electronic devices, experimental and obsolete. If you always waited for the next great thing you'd still be using a rotary dial phone.

haha true. Quad core exynos is very snappy. Games are smooth and had the better effects. ie. blurr effect on Nova 3, Modern combat 4. I havent felt the need to do anything to it besides root. My s3 now seems so outdated 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?

ASUS TF700T Versus ASUS Padfone 2

My ASUS TF700T are considered to be a "High-end" tablet. So when I got the chance to borrow a Padfone 2 I decided to pit them at each other. It's nothing scientific about this test at all, I'm just racing two tablets against each other as any geek would do during there free time.
One of my fears with the ASUS Padfone 2 was that the it would prove to be weak when used as a tablet. Instead my TF700T actually seems "laggy" compared with the Padfone 2
http://youtu.be/0iVX0LSA_sE
Over all the Padfone seems "snappier" and at one point my TF700T even hangs (at 3.30). Can this be the famous "I/O problem"?

To be honest, it would be weird if the tf700 outperformed the Padfone 2. Seriously, if you look at specs alone, padfone 2 is obviously the more powerful device: Snapdragon S4 Pro (the most powerful Android SoC currently available for purchase), 2 GB RAM (versus only 1 GB in the tf700), faster internal storage, etc... On top of that, the padfone 2 only has to drive HD screens (both the phone and the tablet) instead of full HD screen in our tablet. To sum up, padfone 2: superior hardware with less pixels to drive.
The tf700 was a high-end tablet one year ago, but not any more. If you are expecting the latest and greatest hardware, you should not get the tf700 in the first place. The correct answer should be either Sony Xperia Tablet Z (Snaprdagon S4 Pro) or soon-to-be-available Padfone Infinity with Snapdragon 600 (if you are not in the US), both Full HD tablets.

PadFone 2 It is FullHD 1920x1089 and tablet screen is 1920x1200

padfone is going to cost like a thousand bucks. I have an infinity with dock and a good droid phone that were cheaper than that combined. Infinity is a great device except for the crappy internal emmc. without my data2sd mod I would've gotten ridbof it a long time ago.

My guess would be no. It is ironic that phones always have better storage than tablets. Furthermore, Snapdragon SoCs have always been superior to Tegra with regards to connection, memory and storage controller, and I don't expect Snapdragon 600 to disappoint in this front.

don't think the storage controller has really any thing to do with the soc you use..
Asus just used a crappy one in the Infinity..
For example has the HTC One X(+) that is also a Tegra4 device has any problem with flash? I haven't heard anything about that from my brother that has that phone.
What the infinity has reminds my about the first SSD with the first generation controllers also there there where large hickups and that kind of problems, only when Intel came to the market with there first gen controller it was suddenly way better.
What we have in the infinity is nothing more then a controller that you also find in USB controllers that are really optimized for large sequential single threaded access. Not multi threaded small i/o
