Should I bother with upgrade? - Asus Transformer TF700

So I have a tf300 and can grab up a tf700 for 300$. 30 days old with the bill/ not unlocked. I could probably sell the tf300 for about the same here in Canada. The only reason I can think of to upgrade would be for the better screen. Any Opinions?

I'll say yes if it doesn't cost you much time or any money.

Nexus 7

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.

Have Nook Color/cm7 and TF101. might be in minority but prefer 7/8 inch form for ease of carrying around and holding in one hand. Will be ordering Nexus 7 16G, wife can have NC to use as ereader, it is no longer good for playing games,
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
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.

Hard Time Deciding on a Tablet

I'm looking between a couple different tablets, and I can't decide on which on to get. My price range is ~$200. I'm looking at the Acer Iconia A500, Asus Transformer tf101, HP Touchpad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and Motorola Xoom.
Any advice would be appreciated.

You really can't go wrong with any of them. I would steer clear of the Touchpad...that tab is too high maintenance.

Only reason I was considering that is because there's a guy on Craigslist selling a 32GB touchpad + touchstone for $150.

My skyrocket is 100% functioning, except... The screen is broken as well as the glass, I can turn it on and see my files when I plug it into my computer, anyone willing to buy it off me for around 100~ all you need to do is to replace the screen. PM me if anyone's interested!

Funny stuff... people are still using this fake site to swindle best buy out of some cash?!?!? Want a laugh, try to even get to a checkout on surefireshops!
Many best buys will not honor this, they usually only match some of the big sites.

when you did this how did you go about doing it and which best buy did you go to.

Amazon replaced.

I must say, im very pleased with Amazons replacment\refund policy, my new tf700t is on is way. Mine currently is experiencing a random line through the screen when doing online reading ( not very often but enough to piss me of on a 500 dollar device) and the screen is starting to pop up around the bottom edge. So I talked with Amazon's customer service and they are very pleasant, and got the replacement on it's way and I get to use this one till it arrives. Pretty sweet deal all without leaving my chair sure am glad I didn't unlock my boot loader!!!
