I have the prime. But it does have weak wifi signal. Etc.
But what if I sold the prime and went with the T300? Do you guys feel it to be a decent swap? Or will I notice it being slower than the prime?
For me it was a massive improvement from the prime. Great wifi, gps, and buttery smooth. I have next to no lag and haven't found a case of it being slow so far. My prime was returned in early April so I am not aware of changes since then.

How about the screen? I read somewhere where the TF300 doesnt have gorilla glass. Has that affected the quality?
And what made you go ahead and change to the TF300?
it's true that the tf300t doesn't have gorilla glass, however it does have "hardened glass", which i assume is a generic gorilla glass. i keep my tf300t naked, as in no screen protector and i've been letting my little brother use my tf300t for awhile and he hasn't scratched it yet, he is pretty careless when it comes with electronics btw.
the tf300t is also a little heavier and thicker, though not by a whole lot, you might not not even notice the difference. i recommend heading over to your local bestbrowse(bestbuy) or office depot and seeing it for yourself hands on.

I've been fairly careful with my TF300.......or so I thought. I got no kids and I keep mine in the keyboard dock. I was cleaning it this weekend and noticed a small nick in the glass this weekend. No idea what I did.
If you're that concerned about performance, just wait a bit for the Infinity.
I've found the 300 to be more than adequate.

I tried to search through the forums but I was unsuccessful. I'm really not sure what it is I am looking for. On my old TF201 (Exchanged at BestBuy) I had these little dust covers that fit into the bottom of my Prime to keep dust and other materials out of the bottom of the device. Upon opening my Infinity I noticed that these two little rubber plugs are missing. Does anyone know where I would be able to get a set of them?
Thank you for any help
I don't think you can get them anywhere. They don't seem to include them with the Infinity. Only the cover for the 40 pin connector.

Thank you for your reply. I was afraid of this. I was hoping that there was some kind of quick fix or somebody had made a set to buy.
I was disappointed with this as well and would have kept them from my prime that i exchanged if I would have known.
The also removed the fake sd card, but I just put a real card in the slot.

Are you in the US? If you are in the US, I'll gladly send you my covers (no fee!) as I'll never use them...

I am looking into buying the Infinity but am concerned about the Q/C issues that I have been reading about. I am adding a poll in the hopes that I will be able to get a better visual representation of how many tablets people have gone through before getting a tablet that doesn't have any issues. It is also my hope that this poll will help others who are in my position. I know that there are other threads detailing the problems but I am hoping for an easier way to see the actual results. Thank you for your participation!

great poll to run and showing the results that I have experienced from Asus products. I have had a TF101, then a TF201 (standard GPS issues) and now my TF700T. Also have a UX31E ultrabook that works just as great as my transformer.
Only one for me too. Never had a problem.

I didnt tick anything on the poll. But I bought one and exchanged it for a note coming next week. If i dont like the note Ill probably take another stab at the infinity when JB comes out.
Third one was perfect for me. First had badly bonded screen, second was worse still, third seems to be fault free, now unlocked running zeus 4, very happy.

Never had a problem, too! So happy with my TF700!

I bought one, returned it and didn't bother with another. After issues with the 101 and 201, I'm sick of farting with Asus.
Gave up on number five. I might try again in a month or two if I see more positive threads in here.

Check out my post on blotches on my screen..I may be selling this on kijiji when it comes back from RMA.. not impressed as the keyboard had to be fixed one due it separating on one corner..
Hey Guys!
I have gotten my second Infinity yesterday, since the first one had serious clicking issues.
Guess what? This time: clicking frame + slight light bleed AND the wrong colour!
I really don't know what to do...
Should I request a new one or just ask my money back and buy something else?
What do you think?
Only one like most people. People that have problems will always scream louder than those without. The forums here may seem negative at times but I guarantee you most people are more than happy with there tablets.

I would get them to replace it. You paid good money for it so it needs to be perfect.

THank you for your reply back.. Has anyone else seen that blotching occur??
I sent colour photos along with my RMA form...
I am most likely going to hold onto the Infinity and then when the ASus VIVO Windows 8 comes out , I will get it.... you guys feel that I should be able to get a good price for the Infinty as long as I keep it in good shape..with the keyboard dock??
Anyone know the release dates for the VIVO here in Canada??
First one.. with no issues.
I want to thank everyone who has replied and voted in the poll. It's nice to visualize the results.
Edit: I wanted to add that I plan on getting the 32gb version within the next month.

I Got screen lifting issues still waiting for a replacement Infinity. It's been 2weeks no word yet, anyone getting screen bleeding and I don't like how the tablet gets air pockets under the screen if you press a little too hard on the screen. I've had random freezing issues and the screen just blanking out for no reason. Have to reboot to get the screen going to again.....Weird.
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? Or vice versa,..I really don't know what I wanna do at this point... Thanks for any input

I have the t300 as well sorry to hear about the scratches. I have been thinking about doing this as well and would love to know if the higher specs make that much of a difference.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I mean you may have better luck though. Retailers may have worked through the bad devices by now so like I said it comes down to what you truly want...
ok first of all this is my one and only tf700t. I have zero issues no screen separation, no screen lagg etc, clearly qc issues have been resolved or i just got extremely luck with mine Best tablet i have had to date and the screen at 1920x1200 is amazing i cant go back to 1200x800
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
i think the screen is the main difference...not as many devs either. i went thrrough 5 300's and my current has light bleeding...

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.

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!!!

Yoop!
Can't beat Amazons 30 day thing.
Glad I got my previous tablet from them (ACER A700 overheating.)
I requested a return on the 30th day of ownership and got the credit for it.
Paid $12.00 for expedited shipping, used my points and paid $459.00 for my Infinity!
I was ecstatic...
Glad you're happy again Russell!

I thought you meant Amazon was replaced as the #1 online retailer or something!
But anyway, its good to know Amazon honors its return policies with lenience. I usually go with BestBuy but their stock and selection is always so limited!

I concur. I was able to return mine that I dropped onto a concrete floor after one week of ownership. I fibbed a little, but they didn't question it. Heck, I didn't even have to speak to a rep. All online.
