I just pre ordered my 8GB nexus this morning. Is anyone else with the tf101 buying a nexus 7?

I entered a contest to win one, but so far it's only 30% chance of winning and rapidly falling. I don't think I'll be able to grab one no matter how much I want it... :/
Are you sure 8Gb is enough with no external storage?
Other than that it looks great!
Can I have your transformer? Lol

I am!
I am not really sure why, or which one I will keep, though... but the price was right, to try it out.
The Nexus 7 was tempting, but I think there will be better (for me) offerings in the fall. I want a micro SD card. The google experience brand was a selling point since it will have support and speedy rom updates, but I want to give my money to a company that makes the tablet that I want. The TF infininty seems like it has all the right specs.

8GB is fine for me. I basically wanted it for its size. Carrying around a huge 10 inch tablet gets old. I'll still have my tf101 with micro sd and hdmi. Basically its an e-reader for me.

Well the infinity is what 600 dollars. There is no way I would buy a tablet for that price, because there will just be something bigger and better in 6 months. Maybe it's just me, but I waited in a line for 6 hours just to get my tf101 for $250. Two months after I bought that the prime came out.

I really like the infinity too, but that price tag! Not something that can be done very often.

I love the infinity! But the price is way to high imo. I'll save my money for now and see what comes out at the end of the year. Tegra 4 would be nice. But for the price of the nexus I'm not gonna pass that deal up.

I just found the price for the TF infinity- ouch! It's not a deal breaker, but I will be shopping around to see what the competition has to offer, unless all competition gets blocked by frivolous lawsuits that hurt the consumers.

Lol. Just love how apple will sue anyone. Anyways I don't get why people are making a big deal about storage. I don't know what people are loading onto their tabs. I only use 3GB on my 16GB transformer and I have a lot of apps. Just use cloud storage for your documents and music.

Yup, that was a deal breaker for me. There are a few reasons that lack of a micro SD is a bummer for me: 1) it's much easier to fix a semi-bricked device if I can just throw something on an SD card and flash it. 2) I usually keep a few movies on my current tablet and it's convenient to keep them on an microSD card that I can pop in when I'm on long flights, etc. 3) I think the lack of micro SD is a subtle way to push me to the cloud. I've got my own "cloud" and if the google/dropbox/ubuntu one cloud is good, then I will make the switch, but I don't like that decision to be made for me.
So, yeah, I'm holding my breath and my dollars for a tablet that has a micro SD slot. I will say that as a "toy", the price for the nexus 7 is pretty appealing.

I would be all over the 7 if I didn't already have a TF101 32gb, with the dock. But, I figure this is a damn good tablet, and since Asus makes the 7, we've got a good chance of getting JB.

it depends what exactly you want from a tablet,
do you plan on using it on the move a lot?
would you use a physical keyboard?
how much information do you want to store on it?
What ports do you need (HDMI, USB host mode, micro sd)?
the nexus is much smaller and more portable so if you plan on using it out and about it might be better, but if you want to plug in a usb stick or micro sd card, plug the tablet in to a TV or want to store more than a couple of movies on it the tf300 might work out better. Personally i'm tempted by a nexus to take on my journey to work with me and keep my tf300 at home for general use around the home

Well i want it for everyday use.. I feel the nexus 7 will be better on the move then the tf300 but i do like the 10inch im a graphic designer so thats why i was thinking of the tf300.. The keyboard i probably won't buy.. I'll mostly going to use the tablet for designing n photography n to watch movies for my newborn.. Its a big decision.. Now is the tf300 root friendly? I gotta see what I'm going to decide.. Ill see other peoples take on it.. Thanks for ur feed back..

I just got my TF300T on Saturday after deciding between it and the Nexus 7. It was super easy to put Cyanogenmod on (ASUS has a bootloader unlocking tool right on their site).
I like it a lot, I'm happy I went with it, I picked it mainly because of the bigger screen, I'm going to be using it for University, so I figured it'd be a lot easier to type on.
I'd say the main deciding factor between the 2 would be screen size (which would be a personal choice). Also price is a factor, the Nexus 7 is half as much.
If you're anything like the graphic designers I work with I think you'll be at home with the tf300, the extra screen estate would be useful over the nexus and the extra ports would be useful options, not to mention the size some files reach doing that sort of thing 16gb might not last that long. The keyboard is useful but I seem to use mine more as a top up charger than keyboard

What about the rumored Nexus 10?
Both are great for their own reasons. Im getting both. I already have a white tf300, I preordered a 16gb Nexus 7, and am selling my Galaxy Tab 7.7 to my mother in law.
I was thinking of a nexus 7, but the lack of expandable storage was a huge turn off.

For sure
Before i bought my TF300T i searced the market and the websites a lot.
I saw that it hasn't he best screen or the faster gpu but the things that made me buy it was, price,32gb,and of course the super duper speed recharge time. only 2:15 hours for a full charge.
I was on the fence between the N7 and the TF300 as well. I eventually decided to go with the TF300 for a few reasons, heres why;
16GB N7 with shipping and case came out to $285, for $115 more I get
Double the capacity with a 32GB TF300
mHDMI Out
mSDCard Port
32GB mSD Card, totaling 64GB on TF300
Mako Case
an additional 3" of screen real-estate
Slightly better battery
Optional Keyboard Dock
Those things, imo, were too good to pass up for the price. Yes, the N7 is still a great device, but I dont think it is geared towards anyone who would frequent these forums as it just leaves out too many things.

I too, want to see if they will announce a Nexus 7 10" however I cant keep waiting for something since I'll never have a tablet, lol, and I need one for work.
I predict they will announce a N7 10" that is just like the 7" without SDcard or HDMI and people will say "ok, well im waiting to see if they make a Nexus 2 tablet with sdcard and hdmi" lol.
I may get the nexus 7 just because of the price.

if you don't need a tablet now. i would wait until fall and get the nexus 10"...that should be a 10" model with jelly bean and a rumored $299 price tag. should be awesome.
quadrant test on both
So i got a weird question then, if the Asus transformer has a Tegra 3 quad and so does the Nexus 7,same chip, Nexus has a better gpu then the Transformer i believe, so why does the quadrant test so much higher on the Asus transformer then the Nexus 7, Nexus 7 having a smaller screen size should make it better on the quadrant right?
I bought the Google I/O model N7 8gb from a guy on craigslist for $250 New and played with it for a day, listed it on eBay and it sold for $425 to help fund the consumer model 16gb. It really is a small compact speed demon but relying on Wi-Fi and the cloud for storage has pushed me to find a good deal on the TF300T 32gb with expandable memory. I loved the size but the lack of storage killed it for me. Knowing me I'll pickup the 300, sell or trade it for another N7 later on. Who knows?! Lol

Hi guys I have a nexus 7 got it on release . It is my first ever tablet I love it but I find myself using my gnex more than it .I feel like it is an over sized gnex rather than a true tablet . I recently sold my dell xps 15 z and I really need something I can use to do word documents check email tweet a bit Skype my girl friend etc ..I was wondering if selling my nexus 7 to get an infinity pad is a good idea?

I was deciding between the Nexus 7 and the Transformer Infinity for my first tablet purchase. The iPad was out because of the closed ecosystem, and I have already paid for android apps on my phone that will scale up well once installed on the tablet. The Nexus 7 was almost a no brainer for me, it has a great price, quad-core processor, amazing screen and great software support from Google except for the lack of
1. MicroSD expandability (gameloft games on average take up at least 2 gigs of internal memory)
2. HDMI-out (with apps like Netflix, Hulu plus, and HBO go not to mention flash support, being able to output that to a TV screen is a huge plus)
For about twice as much as the Nexus 7, the Infinity offers a higher resolution screen that's also brighter powered by a top of the line quad core processor. It also includes a microSD slot, 8 mp camera, microHDMI out and the ability to expand via a mobile docking station that adds additional battery life, full sized USB OTG support and a SD slot. I have to say that all the additional features are worth the extra premium. I don't have to worry about storage space and the tablet functions much like a laptop replacement for me. If you're on the fence between the two, I'd say go for the Infinity.
Thanks dude yeah I have the nexus 7 now ...idk it just seems like an overweight galaxy nexus ....I'm really leaning on getting the tf700

I had the same situation, I was wondering between Nexus 7 and Asus Infinity. Those were actually the only options I was considering.
Lets just say that finally the decision turned into Infinity because here in FInland cannot yet buy Nexus 7. Also because I already have a big screened phone (SGS3) i was thinking that the difference between phone and tablet would then be quite small.
My feelings are quite divided currently. On the other hand I love the screen, it is sharp and nice. I like to read books and magazines from it. But then on the other hand the Android system is very laggy. Not sure what is going on here but this is much worse than for example with Galaxy S 2 and no reason to put this on the same table with Galaxy S 3.
Also for example right now I just for some reason lost connection to wifi and this claims not in range. However I have Galaxy S 3 and ipad 1 just next to it and both are working just fine..
I truly hope this is just some sucky software, but currently can't say I am impressed...

Yeah, I had a nexus 7. It wasn't bad just didn't have enough space. It was surely an upgrade to the galaxy tab 8.9 I had before it. I gave my mom the nexus 7 when I picked up the Infinity, and the Infinity is great. The FFC on the Infinity is nice for Skype and the key-dock isn't bad. Its a little small but not hard to type on. I have extra-large glove sized hands and I never get typos on regular keyboards, but do get a few on the Infinity's. I wouln't want to write a novel on the Infinity but for short papers, emails, etc its not bad at all and beats onscreen keyboards hands down. Lots of luck in your decision making.

I have both...the Nexus 7 is fun to play games on and read on...also, there is a lot of development for it already and it's fun to flash new roms and kernels. It does have serious storage limitations and you just can't use it for anything related to productivity, at least I can't. The TF infinity is just a bigger. more meaty tablet...I'm typing this now on the keyboard dock, got a wireless mouse, and with the super battery life I'm getting, I really don't need a laptop. I'm running the Zeus rom and it's much smoother and snappier than before.

That's because it's impossible to answer a question like that - we are not you - we don't use the device the same as you would. How can someone else decide which device is better for you? That's a personal decision based on your usage and personal preferences!
Personally, I think the Nexus 7 and the Infinity are two completely different beasts. It's very hard to truly compare them. One is small enough to slide it your jacket pocket and one is more of a netbook replacement (assuming you get the keyboard dock). They really are geared toward different audiences.
So, to answer you question - go to a store and try them out and see which you would prefer! That's the only way to really answer your question.

I was in the same exact situation as you! I bought the Nexus 7 and really did like it especially the smoothness and the feel of jelly bean. But I have an Evo 4G lte 4.5 inch screen it just felt like a bigger version of it. So I sold the Nexus 7 and bought the Infinity and I've had it for a couple of days and I have mixed feelings. The screen on the infinity is amazing, but the lagginess and wifi dropping off is kinda getting on my nerves. The Nexus 7 did not have these issues I'm disappointed in the performance and debating exchanging it and trying a new one. I think in retrospect I should have kept the Nexus and the Infinity. Just my two cents.

I have the Nexus 7 and someone is offering me a swap and I only have to add 200 dollars for the 64gb version! The form factor of the N7 is unbeatable, it's extremely portable and easy to play games on. Surfing is a breeze and you don't feel tired when holding it for a very long time. On the other hand the screen has a lot less to be desired upon AND the screen flickering issue of the n7 is INSANE. I was just about ready to give up on the n7 but I just flashed AOKP build 3 and it might have just did the trick! I also brought my router closer and I think it does help.
I've been reading on the transformer and it has the same screen flickering issue so I'm having second thoughts.

I personally have zero screen flickering on either the Transformer Infinity or on the Nexus 7 (which my daughter has now appropriated). I believe that there are a number of units of both tablets with hardware issues but I've been fortunate enough not to experience them.
Picked up a t300 and,I like it but the screen scratches very easily,I barely used it and it's already scratched,..my old t101 ,I let my 4 year old play it, he's dropped it lots of times,..spilled stuff on it,..it's a year old and doesn't have one scratch,.....im thinking about paying the extra 100 and getting the 700,., any of you guys had the 300 and moved to the 700?

I have both and switch between them often. The screen on the tf700 is amazing and if you want to use it outside or in direct sunlight its the best hands down. Performance wise the 300t has jellybean which makes regular task much smoother and if you use browser2ram you have a great internet surfing machine. But if you are into gaming the performance difference is noticed, especially in demanding games and emulators.
Now that's all well and good but for me there is one big issue against the tf700. My first tf300 was a keeper no problems at all, But I've gone thru 5 tf700s and counting because of QC. I wont get into the whole story but just check out the tf700 forums for specifics there are plenty of topics on the subject.
Normally for one hundred dollar difference I'd say its a no brainer but playing the infinity exchange game gets old fast. Also if you decide to go for it get it from a retailer with a good exchange policy.

Yo...I see you're in NOLA...
I went through two TF700's from Amazon because the screen was separating from the body on both among other things. So I ended up getting the TF300 and I'll hold on to it for a while. But in comparing the two it kinda seems like a iPhone 4s to iPhone 5 situation, pretty much the same device just with updated specs. Now the screen on the TF700 is nice, very crisp so I guess you really have to just make your own judgment call on what you're looking for in a tablet.
If you go with the TF700 buy it from a B&M store if you can so you can inspect it and quickly return it if there are any issues...
Good luck...
Lol damn now I really don't know what to do,...I didn't know the 700t had that many issues,..I know the screen on the 300t is plastic,I barely messed with it and has 4 scratches on it,...and that really disappoInts me, I thought with the bigger processor , better resolution, and gorilla glass it would be a no brainer to go with the 700t

I've had mine about 4 months now and it is my second. I got it from BB in NY then exchanged it for one in NJ. The first one worked fine but had some clouding. The one I have now has given me 0 issues so far and its used daily. Its sad to hear about the bad production runs because ASUS has been really good at supporting the software on their devices.

Hi,
I'm looking to get a tablet for the first time but one of the most important things for me is that I want to be able to effectively control my PC remotely (not necessarily outside of home) and even game remotely through my PC if possible.
I figured that the Tegra 4 is a good chip to go for as it will provide a great android experience as well as the fact that project shield I think is coming to all tegra 4 devices and splashtop, the seeming leader, seems to always give special preference to tegra.
Another idea I had would be to get a tablet hybrid as I think it would make controlling easier. This has left me deciding between the transformer pad infinity (new model) or the HP slatebook x2.
I think the main differences between the two are display resolution. The asus has a higher resolution of 2560x1600 over the hp's 1080p but I don't know if this is necessarily a good thing, as my PC display is only 1080p and the tegra 4 gpu will have to work twice as hard in android games. I think the asus has USB 3.0 instead of 2.0 on the HP too.
Anyway, I'd really like to hear from the embodiment of wisdom that is XDA about which of the two is better or if I'm missing a really obvious better tablet out there.
Thanks guys

I don't have much of an answer for you, but thought I'd bump the thread as I'm currently trying to decide between the same two tablets. We'll probably have to wait for them to actually be released first before anyone will be able to say which is better for any particular job.
One thing I can see is that previous Asus models have had a good presence here on XDA (e.g. ROMs), compared to previous HP models.

The slatebook x2's resolution is 1920x1200
I'm right now writing this post with my Slatebook x2 and i'm really happy with this, it wasn't really hard to choose over Asus and this, because Asus has that too huge display resolution and i think Tegra 4 is not ready for that high resolution, also 1920x1200 on a 10.2" display is almost 250ppi which is really high for a tablet. Tegra 4 doesn't have to run on it's full power for every touch on the screen because it has that much less pixels. I'm not watching 10" screen so close that i would see the difference of 2560 pixels over 1920.
But to be honest, i don't know how good is HP at updating Android high-end tablets, so Asus might be better choise if you don't want to risk that the tablet might have bugs that HP won't update.

How did you get it so fast? Ordered mine today. Although I'm in the U.S. Do you notice any lag with the device at all. I'm concerned too with HP updates but that's really the only thing I'm worried about. Otherwise I think it will be a great tablet and the price is right.

I live in finland and i'm really not sure why it was so early at the store. Everywhere reads it will be available at August.
But what comes to the software, it is slightly buggy and laggy. Left upper corner for sliding down the notifications is buggy, sometimes works but usually it freezes for few secs and sometimes it reloads whole notification bar. Kernel was updated at June 7 or 8 last time, but don't know about the firmware.

Wow really? I guess I may end up returning it then. Reason I bought it is I am tired of the constant lag on my infinity pad even with cromi rom so it was due for a replacement. And from the small amount of reviews I've seen did not mention any lag on the slate x2. So this is a bit of a disappointment. Thanks for the feedback.

I've kinda lost faith in Asus after my Prime and then Infinity. Have to give them props on design however.

Mostly the lag is unnoticeable, but you should judge yourself. Now after week the display have started to get junk, I'm not sure how to explain it. Like it messes up the contrast totally, but when I slightly try to bend the display it gets normal. Annoying and i'm about the return this and wait for the Asus one.

Maybe they have learned from mistakes by now? I'm hoping at least. Because I want to jump ship now to Asus.

Ok will take your advice. As far as your screen goes you probably have a lose lcd ribbon cable. But could be a bad connector as well. I assumed HP would have better quality control but I guess not. It's a good thing HP has a 21 day return policy so it won't be any loss if I had to return it.

I hope so too. They would be my alternative. I really love having a kb dock with additional battery.

I have to admit it has been dropped twice from sofa to soft carpet, but I still think even tablets shouldn't be so fragile.

Just got the slate x2 today (typing on it now) and it is overall a very smooth device. I would say its even smoother than the nexus 10 that I used for a few weeks which I returned to keep my tf700t. Transition and opening apps are smooth. No stutter when downloading from the play store. Performance wise this is a very good tablet IMO. Now the negative. I'm not a fan of the yellowish screen and the brightness is not as bright as my TF700 Reminded me somewhat of the nexus 10 screen. Design wise isn't great either but I guess thats comparing it to my tf700. The other negative, I cant find a way of rooting this yet and no xda forum. I found 1 thread that I might try though which was used to root the slate 7. I have an update waiting on the tablet but I'm gonna wait it out. I was reading this had an intel gpu but hp.com states otherwise but for $479 including a dock, its a good buy IMO.
As far as connecting to my work PC using splashtop, it works great. I love the multitouch touchpad to zoom in and out.

I got the update august 1st day and it was 418Mb. That update fixed almost every bug and stuttering from the device. But I still think I will return this and buy the Asus one for the aluminium body.

Definitely the Asus will be a better looking unit with better screen. Also noticed the wifi is weak on this one compared to my Infinity but its probably a harware issue. I'm getting a replacement for it but hopefully Asus announces theirs soon so I can decide if its worth the savings I'm getting with the slate x2.
