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

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.

I wonder will the Padfone Infinity suffer the same I/O issues as all the previous ASUS tablets!?

No dude, it is the Padfone Infinity that has Full HD screens. The Padfone 2 only has HD screens.

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

Guy's, need advice on which Android tablet to go for. My sister will be picking this up in USA before she comes for a visit around second week of July.
Requirements
10" display
Running ICS or upgradable to ICS.
Stable operation with official ROM/updates.
Easily rootable (Installing custom ROMs is not a necessity)
Memory card slot absolute must.
USB OTG.
Able to play most of the common video formats
HDMI out either out of the box or through an inexpensive adapter
Good WiFi performance. 3G is not a requirement.
Budget is not a constraint (can go up to $800) as long as its worth it.
Was originally considering the Transformer Prime 64GB + Dock, but not too sure about it after all the GPS/WiFi problems I keep hearing about.
Other options that I am considering.
Asus Transformer TF300 32GB + Dock
Acer Iconia A510
Toshiba Excite 32GB
I am also interested in the Infinity Pad 700, but I don't think it will be available by the time sis comes home and it won't be available in my country anytime soon.
Guy's waiting for inputs on these tablets... Which one would be the best to go for?
Honestly I think the Galaxy tabs are the best, but from those choices, I would go with the Toshiba, it has minor problems from what I heard, not too bad. :thumbup:

I think the Galaxy Gab will do fine, just because it's Samsung, so it should be good.
The Toshiba should meet all requirements.
Sent from my U8150 using XDA
The main reason I am not going with the Galaxy Tabs is because they don't have storage expandability and secondly that none of them are upto date on hardware front.
If it can at least play videos from a high capacity USB stick without draining too much battery life, I would go with it.
The Toshiba is the all rounder for a power user. Samsungs are pretty not super functional, Acer are confused (tried something different and failed) and transformer is an expensive luxury (everything sold seperately)

I would avoid Toshiba at all costs. Poor support. Small dev community.

From a purely Brand perspective, my preference order would be Asus, Samsung, Acer and last of all Toshiba. I wouldn't mind spending a premium if the product is worth it. As I mentioned my Original plan was to get Transformer Prime + Dock, but dropped that idea because of current issues with that tablet. been doing some research on the other tablets as well these are the issues I have been hearing
Transformer Prime - WiFi/GPS/Bluetooth reception issues. Stability issues with ICS.
Transformer Pad TF300 - ICS Stability/performance issues
Acer Iconia A510 - Overheats during gaming, Screen responsiveness issues.
Toshiba Excite 32GB - Poor battery life (< 8hrs), way costly compared to other 32GB Tegra 3 tablets.
I'd rank them as
Toshiba
Transformer Pad (either)
Galaxy Tab
Iconia
I stopped worrying about battery life,it's all in how you use your tablet. If you must game for long periods then the transformer makes sense. The prime has the best life.

My buddy brought over his new shiney Infinity. I used it for a little while and for some reason couldn't really feel a difference in performance over my Prime. I thought when newer tablets are released they would at least perform better, no?
My wish is getting Android to run on the ipad 3.
It is basically the same device with a better screen. You won't see a performance gain until a new generation of chipsets drop and Jelly bean is available. I had some terrible WiFi performance issues that got on my last nerve and the infinity by all reports seems to have fixed those issues. That is why I'm upgrading

Actually, isn't the Tegra 3 clocked higher in the TF700 (I thought that I read that somewhere)? Plus, it has faster memory, so you *should* see a slight increase in performance. Unless that performance gain is negated by the extra pixels that it needs to push!

Currently, there is not much of difference in performance between the Prime and TF700 because there aren't many apps that can take full advantage of the higher resolution screen or the higher clock speed. I have owned Prime, TF300 and now Infinity and for me Infinity is definitely a complete product compared to its previous versions. Or maybe I should say that TF700 is the product that Prime should have been from day one (minus the HD screen off course).
I few GHz isn't going to make that much of a difference in real world performance since the screen is higher res. If you overclock the Prime, you can get the same clock speed as the Infinity fairly easily. Right now, must users are reporting a bottleneck in the I/O performance and is causing issues with the performance of the device. I doubt ASUS will address this issue for ICS and try to have it fixed in the Jelly Bean update. They have had the code longer than any other company and shares similar internals with the Nexus 7.

to provide some 'un scientific comparisions' ,, I have ASUS , Win PAD (x64) , TF201 (older model) and the newer Infinity Tf700t .....all 32GB models
for me (without any benchmarking ) ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Tf700 = far far faster and 'cleaner' running in STD MODE ( withupdated firmwares ) to Tf20x models
Plus , I not much of a lover in them silly WA software company ( always been a UNIX geek) ,,,, so am forced to use ASUS windows tablet for work
but am loving the Infnity , with DOCK = max flexability when ROOTED ( not unlocked boot loader)
Hope this helps ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,cheers

Wifi performance or lack of is why I'm selling my Prime and purchased an Infinity. Particularly the weak range. I just ran a speed test several times on the Prime and Infinity outside on my deck. The Prime averages about 6mps. The Infinity averages about 25mps. I'm a happy camper now. As someone else in this thread mentioned, this is what the Prime should have been. EBay auction on my Prime ends tomorrow and l have a bidder, good riddance Prime.

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.

I've heard the while the Nexus 10 has an awesome screen. the performance is a bit laggy as the hardware seems to be a little underpowered in order to drive that high resolution.
My nephew has the Asus and he loves it. He's in college, so gaming is something he likes.
I'd probably recommend the Asus at this point for gaming until the Nexus hardware catches up to the resolution. It could be drivers, though, so you might want to see if you can get some hands-on time with them before making your final decision.
Hello, just hoping we can get a forum up and running for the new Transformer Infinity announced 6/3/13?
2560 x 1600 IPS display,
Tegra 4 processor,
docking keyboard, etc, yada yada yada...
Last tablet I bought was the OG Transformer and anyone who bought that should remember the nightmare that was finding an available pre-order to purchase. The forum was a huge help in keeping up on the supply.

The tegra 4? Has Asus gone mad? That thing is having MAJOR power issues!
Also, only 32GB and no MicroSD? Meh, I'll keep mine.
