[Q] Which One Should I Get?

I am Looking at both the asus transformer and acer iconia tab i have no idea which to get i wont be doing anything modding wise as this is going to be a gift...
I'm looking for build quality and speed and most importantly responsiveness.
If this is in the wrong section you can move i have no idea where to put this...

Can anyone please help?

I in all honesty say that you should get the Asus transformer because it has official honeycomb 3.1 which has ultrafast responsiveness. The support for that device is much higher due to the keyboard dock.
Ps. I have an Asus Transformer and have xperimented with it. Brilliant device.

Just my opinion, but I find the Asus just seems to be built better in terms of quality.

I need your advice about transformer......

Hi everyone
How Are You!
I hope u r good.
I'm abt to buy a new tablet ( my 1st one ) and i'm little bet confused between transformer 3G ( on top of the list )and Galaxy tab 3G( 10.1 or 8.9 doesn't matter ).
I need your advice abt which to buy.
Does tf 3g has a root?
Do the available roms work on tf 3g?
Does it support USB, External HDD ?
Transformer owners, Does Weight of tf make it difficult to hold on your hands ( Galaxy tab 2 is lighter )?
Thanks in advance
and Sorry for my English
Regards,
N

being a senior member...one would think u should know by now to search and read the forums...the answers are out there...

For TF101, it is not hard to handle by single hand, normal adult perspective.

I did search, Didn't find something that answers my questions. may be there's something out there but missed it, may the title i wrote is not right, i don't know. And that's bcuz this is the 1st time to write a thread in tf general forum.
So
I'm sorry if i did something wrong
Regards,

Yes the Razorclaw exploit appears to work with the TF101G but it seems you must stay with stock kernals (no overclocking) at least for now. Not a huge deal but something to be aware of.

It may just be the 8.9 gtab, but its really laggy. the gtab 10.1 is also having lots of complaints about the screens (oil slicks/newtons rings). Really think samsung have over killed touchwizz on them aswell. Samsungs lack of support for the tabs is shocking and as a previous 7" gtp1000 owner its one of the main reasons i changed to the Tf.
I'd rather pay a small amount extra for a tf with the keyboard dock rather than the 2 gtabs - its much better value imo with excellent connectivity...........the Samsungs have nothing really, hence the units estate slimness.

Thanks friends, Really appreciate your help
I think TF is the best choice
but regarding the size, many reviews abt tf on youtube, i see it's bigger than enough.
Is it really that big or it seems to be big ( i mean in realty, it's different from that on youtube )

I dont think its that big at all. Size wise its the same as every other 10" tablet out there(acer, ipad 1, sammy, knockoffs).
Weight though...It's a tad on the heavier side of this class. The "sturdiness" more than makes up for that though. Dropped this thing numerous times on the same floors where ive seen ipads crack and an acer a500 dent and i have one TIMY ding about the size of a pencil tip.
I was worried about the honeycomb lag compared to ipads but after root and a new rom(revolver). Happy as can be. This thing is around me more than my Evo 3D
get the TF. You wont be disappointed.

Why is it that everyone thinks their very obvious Q&A post should be considered General. Does it mean that they misunderstand the definition of the word question?
I understand that there can be a language gap as many users on XDA (especially this forum) are not native-English speakers. But the rules are the rules - they say "SEARCH BEFORE POSTING." Pretty clear!

upgrade

hey guys i own a tf300 (great tablet and i love it to bits) but im thinking of an upgrade to the mighty tf700 but my question is could i back up all my apps and data with titanium back up and recover them on the tf700 ?

I was able to restore all my apps from a Galaxy S II to the TF700 just fine, so you should be ok as well. Some app data might not be compatible however so unless you have to have your save data I'd suggest just restoring the apps and not the data to be safe.

I have been debating to get the TF700 for some time, I currently have a 2 yr old tablet from Viewsonic and it's on JB but runs slow. I have heard about Samsung creating a P10 tablet with a resolution closest to the iPad. My question is; is the screen resolution that noticable and how important do you feel it is in the purchase of a tablet? I am an android junkie but I like the latest hardware. Will there be any dual boot Android / Windows tablets from Asus? There are two reasons why I am thinking of Asus over Samsung:
1. Updates to the OS are quicker
2. Screen resolution is higher on Infinity over any other tablet right now (but will this change in Oct?)
Thanks for your input!

Sweet mate that's great news you made me a happy man lol

First the P10 sounds very nice but if you go by rumors you'll be playing the waiting game forever. I chose the infinity because it had all the features I was looking for now from a manufacturer that provides the speediest updates by keeping it stock compared to the others, one of the reasons why I chose this over samsung. The resolution is great, I read a lot of comics and webpages and everything looks much crisper on this screen, and the brightness alone is insane. I'm sure we'll have dual boot options in the future. I read somewhere that Tegra 3 would be compatible with W8 so there should be no reason why an unlocked Infinity couldn't boot it (another plus for the large upgradable memory options). I'd say go for it!

The infinity was a waiting game haha

The Samsung p10 will be a great tablet but the infinity will still be the best for watching movies. Also, I'm not too sure even the exynos can push 2560x1600. Expect not to do any 3d gaming on it.

[Q] Best cheap tablet from Amazon around $100-$200 ?

Hey guys
I'm from outside the US and looking for a nice tablet for under $200 (yay 3rd-world-country currency restrictions ). Now, I've had an old HTC Magic, then a Motorola Defy and now a ZTE V970M. They're all great phones, with lots of development and nice features, and I'm looking for a tablet that I can get from Amazon with the same or similar features.
Basically, I'm looking for this:
A tablet that is small (7" is enough, I wouldn't mind 10" though) with a capacitive screen (or responsive enough, anyways) with some development other than the stock ROM and Android 4.0+, since I love to make ROMs for android devices. Also, I'm planning to use it to connect it to HDMI TVs, so an HDMI output would be a big bonus. I would also try to use it as a laptop so allowing connectivity to any of those case-with-keyboard things (through bluetooth or USB) is a need. I don't care much for battery life, as long as it can be rooted I can work my way around to make it save battery like hell
Here are the options I've looked at:
Around 180$ & 168$ respectively: Galaxy Tab 2 ( http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472318&sr=1-1 ) and Galaxy Tab Plus ( http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...f=sr_1_19?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472318&sr=1-19 ) but they don't have HDMI output, not even with an external converter, I was wondering if that's true?
119$: The Coby MID7065-8 ( http://www.amazon.com/Coby-7-Inch-A...ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472318&sr=1-4 ) looks good but... it's Coby :/ and also, it doesn't seem to have a CyanogenMod-compatible CPU, and I don't wanna be locked to ICS forever.
165$: The Acer Iconia looks *awesome* ( http://www.amazon.com/Acer-A500-10S...f=sr_1_22?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472318&sr=1-22 ) but it's Android 3.0, is it a good buy if I can upgrade it to CM 10 or a stock 4.0-4.1-4.2 ?
174$: This Galaxy Tab SCH-i800 looks weird, is it any good? ( http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...f=sr_1_50?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472705&sr=1-50 )
104$!!!: This SANEI looks awesome too ( http://www.amazon.com/Android-Scree...f=sr_1_71?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1368472813&sr=1-71 ) but I wonder if I can upgrade it to more than ICS/JB ? it has a Cortex A9 and I've heard there's some compatible CM around for Cortex chips, so would it be a good buy?
$199: The Kindle Fire HD seems like a good $199 option ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1555100222&pf_rd_i=507846 ) BUUUUUT... it's a reader, and I've had experiences with the B&N Nook Simple Touch that I don't wanna repeat, such as having a very locked firmware and not having all of the working features if I upgrade to CM or something similar :/
Any tips guys? I really need the advice, as I need to make a choice by tomorrow maximum
Thanks in advance!

Yeah but the Nexus 7 is from swappa actually I have to remove that option XD since it doesn't fit my tight time requirements
What about the iconia A500 though? I've seen it has better screen resolution, Tegra 2 and such, plus JB 4.2 judging by the subforum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1136

Acer does make good products and I guess for your needs it would work

[Q] What's better ? tablets

Hi
I want to buy a tablet but don't really know which is good i found lenovo a3000 and asus memo hd7 quite good but which is better ? or maybe you know better ones for the same price ? i'm looking for a tablet on which i'll be able to play some better games, ips screen, 3g modem is not required , sd slot, 7"

tablet better

By looking side by side looks like the Asus has slight advantage.
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Asus-MeMO-Pad-HD-7,Lenovo-IdeaTab-A3000/phones/7868,7739

Asus memopad would be the better choice

I think ipad mini
