I have 2 of TF101 plus a dock. Thinking about getting TF700 . Those who took the route - what are your impressions ?
I use the table 90% of the time as ebook reader - pdf and epub, using Mantano reader most of the time. Higher rez should make for a better ebook experience I hope, although I can not claim that I find TF101's screen lacking in clarity/sharpness department.
So far I dont feel that dropping $700 will fetch me much outside of small incremental gains over TF101

Biggest advantage is screen. Most apps don't push the 101 cpu anyway. But the screen is amazing and i loved tf101 screen too. For books it's probably iffy. I read a lot of comics and all I can say is wow. It's also a little thinner and lighter but i dont find it much easier to hold for reading. So if you're a gamer or you read comics or magazines its totally worth it.
if you read books a lot then i think you should get a 7 inch tablet like the nexus 7, it's light, easy to hold and you can hold it by 1 hand without getting tired. more importantly the nexus 7 has a very good screen display (1280x800)
For me I went from a TF101 to a TF201 and then to my current TF700T. From the TF101 you will notice a faster unit, better screen, thinner profile unit (both for the tablet as well as the dock keyboard), better battery length (at least for me). On the negative you will have one less USB port to use. I ended up getting a small USB hub to use and all of the things I used the USB ports on the TF101 would connect into the USB hub and work just fine, in fact all at the same time! Do not get the TF201 as an interim step simply because the GPS and in some instances the WiFi radios do not work or work in a restricted way. The TF700T that I have all of its radios work just fine.
I'm getting worse battery life but I'm experimenting with uninstalling and disabling apps and any background stuff (updates/sync/etc), I'm hopeful it will improve.
ergonomics, fit and finish, display resolution and readability, brightness, wifi range, storage (got 64GB with a 64GB card on the way), and the placement of controls and i/o connectors - hell yes, it's a primo upgrade from the Tf101.
Color balance on the screen is not good, too yellow, and battery life like I said is terrible compared to the TF101. I also don't like how the dock charges the battery, much prefer the TF101's method of keeping the tab at 100%.
Coming from a TF101 was a big jump for me. I decided to wait for the nicer screen. The screen and much more powerful CPU make watching movies a lot better.
I'm having to get use to the button and input placements, especially the power button. Coming from a TF101 dock to a TF201 dock, I was sad to lose a USB port. I still have my TF101, though I am trying to get rid of it, but once more apps are updated, and rooting/recovery becomes easy/one-click I will not use it again.
I'm coming straight from a rooted tf101 which I sold tablet/dock to a buddy of mine for $250. I mainly used my tablet for browsing the internet and watching movies. As you already know, the screen is much nicer and the engine in this thing is blazing. I get random lags here and there even after the newest update, but it can only get better especially after rooting and custom roms become more widely available. My tf101 couldn't even play 720p mkvs, but the tf700t handled the highest quality 1080p mkvs that I have without a hiccup. Colors are very vibrant imo. As far as internet browsing, some content takes slightly longer to render because of the hd screen I presume, but I know it will get better. It's lighter and more sleek than my bulky brown tf101. I also noticed I don't get as much battery drain while sleeping than I did with my tf101. As others have stated, I would rather my dock drain first leaving my tablet at 100% instead of both draining simultaneously.
The tf101 advantages were the 2 speakers and the two usb ports. I bought a small cheap rechargable speaker from walmart for $8 which was surprisingly useful called bomb speaker. I will also get a usb hub from amazon so those disadvantages are no deal breaker to me.
Just curious - what the hell are you guys connecting to your TF700 where one USB port isn't enough for normal use? I don't think I've even used both USB ports at the same time on my TF101, so 1 USB port didn't seem like a problem. I'm just curious what types of devices you guys connect where you need more than one USB port normally...
Thanks!

The screen alone is worth the money.
I was never able to read a lot on my TF101G I still used my ebook reader because it looked so pixaleted on the TF101G.
However with the TF700 that problem is gone and I just like it very much.

I connect a wireless mouse at times as well as a external USB cased hard drive. Also occasionally a memory stick. The USB hub is also used for my Asus UX31E for the same devices.

Ahh, I've been using a bluetooth mouse, which leaves the USB port free... Wasn't thinking about a mouse that required a USB port - then I could see two USB ports being useful....

I upgraded from the TF1010. The factors for me were the screen, the faster speed and the lighter weight. The TF101 was just starting to feel a little heavy for me, especially once I had it in a case. My TF101 was also starting to feel a little sluggish, so I decided to go for it. Couldn't be happier, the TF700 is really smooth and I haven't had any problems, with the exception of the battery life, I am one of those people that feel the Wifi is draining the battery pretty quickly.

If you read a lot of Comics or magazines or illustrated books, I would give the exact opposite advice. I have a 7" and 10.1" device and comics/magazines are unbearable on the 7 incher after having used a 10 incher. Provided you're strong enough to hold up the 10 incher. LOL.
That said, if 90% of your application is eBooks and you have already outlaid for the TF101 dock, I personally would not even consider upgrading until the next device given the cost for what would only be a very small incremental improvement for your application.
ASUS still needs to get their firmware act together for the T3 devices and QA is still something I'd be wondering about.
I upgraded from the prime after selling it (originally was going to get the Acer a700, glad I passed on that debacle). It was definitely worth it although I do miss AOKP and Jermaine's other work.

Yes. Just for the screen

I also primarily use mine as an ebook reader (using the Aldiko app), and also use a few different news ready apps (Currents, Appy Geek and Pulse primarily).
I don't see much of a difference in how crisp the text is in any of these apps, however on the TF101 the white background had very faint artifacts (you might see them as little dots, or a pattern of some sort) which the TF700 doesn't. The white background on the TF700 is just solid white to my eyes. That makes reading for a long time much easier on my eyes.
I never really noticed that 'artifacts' (Warehouse 13 anyone? ) on the TF101 until I tried (and returned) an iPad 3. The screen on the iPad is gorgeous, as one would expect, but IOS is not for me. If there is a difference between the iPad and the TF700 screens, it's not something that *I* can see. I know the iPad has a somewhat higher resolution, but it's not enough for me to tell the difference - and that's all that matters.
So, in short, go for it - you'll love it.
I actually wasn't planning on upgrading, but the charging port on my TF101 broke about a week ago and the RMA process was going to take a few weeks so I figured why not? Honestly if my TF101 hadn't broken I would have been fine with it for another few months at least, if not another year.
As mentioned above, battery life isn't as good. Screen is excellent. I do notice considerably less lag when typing, especially in a browser. Loading pages is a bit snappier. It's a nice upgrade, but not worth $500 IMO, unless you have to like I did.

Clearly you don't have a wife that swipes your gadgets when you're done with them.
I've been pondering buying this over the nexus 7 from newegg w/ their 1 year extended warranty thing.
The reason I was looking at the nexus 7 was because of the unlockable/lockable bootloader, and small size for carrying around.
(I'm a soon-to-be college student)
I mainly want a tablet for readings books on (no, i dont want a nook or kindle fire) , not really onto taking notes on digital devices since writing notes down on paper works best for me.
What I like about this tablet is the rear camera, sd slot, and superb quality.(the price is what gets me, especially since i will want to root this thing and it'd be a shame if i needed the asus warranty lol)
Are you guys happy with this tablet?
If you had the chance to do it all over again, would you still buy this tablet over the n7?
What are your experiences with this tablet?
I want to know the good, bad, and ugly

May be of some use. I'm quite happy with my transformer but I do get occasional freezes, slowdown whilst downloading and certain lag sometimes. Many have problems with stock browser but installing browser2ram (needs root) helps in fixing that apparently. Chrome works fine for me whilst ICS browser+ does hang from time to time

I'm happy with it. Performance is good, battery life is solid. Camera is average at best. Display is very good. I wish the case was a different texture. It can be slippery holding at an angle in the palm of your hand.

Generally the tablet is good. The only thing I don't understand is that phone function is disabled. Some people managed to install unofficial firmwares (Hydro) that enable it but they didn't boot on my tab.
Oh...and I managed to almost brick it and the Asus service shop said the warranty is void as I tried to install unofficial FW. They said they don't want to reinstall original operating system but would like to replace motherboard instead and charge me 300 € for it. Very ignorant. In the end I reinstalled it myself.
I constantly hear "keyboard dock this, and keyboard dock that. I bought this because it's a kick a** tablet. I don't want a net book. Hell, i could've gotten one of those cheaper.
Anyone else with me? I feel so alone.

I have my tablet without the dock and a nice case that has various angles to view the tablet at. I also have a Bluetooth Microsoft keyboard that I use with my tablet when I am too lazy to sit at the computer to type something out or stuff like that. But without the dock and loving it!

The only thing that tempted me to the keyboard was the extra battery, I went for the Anker Astro 3 instead. The keyboard would be nice but at more than £100 and at the risk of getting a screen breaker its not worth it.
My TF201 (which was a "good" one except for the GPS) was a great stand alone tablet without the dock. I used it like that most of the time I had it. I only picked up the dock when it went on sale at Best Buy as they were closing them out.
But, now that I have a dock, I love it. I still frequently use the 700 as a tablet undocked for reading or travel all the time, that convertibility is one of the most awesome things about the TF series and they are GREAT tablets all by themselves.
I have the keyboard dock but I usually use my tablet standalone. It's awesome either way.

No dock and really don't see the need. Like you , I wanted a tablet not a netbook!
I think that if you guys had the dock for a day, you'd never go back! Not only does it make typing *so* much easier, it's also like a built in stand for the tablet! Not to mention the extra ports, extra battery life and the fact that you can see the *whole* screen while typing (instead of the keyboard taking up half the screen).
You can always remove the tablet *very* easily to go back to being a tablet, but you'll find that most of the time, you simply leave it docked so you don't even have to hold the tablet while using it!
Again, you may not think you'd use it, until you actually have it for a day or two...

I love to use mine in portrait, which with the high res screen is very comfortable and provides tons of viewing real estate.
I might pick up the dock when it goes on sale for easier video chatting, movie viewing and typing, but 95% of my use is browsing and it's very comfortable holding it in portrait doing that.
Me happy.

I know these things *can* be done without the dock, but nowhere near the ease that they can be done with the dock... Trust me, I've tried! The dock just makes everything that much easier... It's completely changes how useful the tablet really is. There is *no way* that you can enter text as quickly and easily with a stylus as you can with a keyboard - period.
I guess it all boils down to what you use your tablet for. I take a *lot* of notes at work and it would be a disaster without the dock (I simply wouln't use it at work without the dock - it just wouldn't make much sense). If you just use it casually to play games and surf the web, I can see the dock not being needed, but if you do any kind of emailing or note-taking (or even posting on XDA), the dock just makes it that much faster and easier. To be honest, I personally leave it docked even while playing a lot of games!

Just read "is not compatible with Asus tablets." How does it work in real life?
I use my tablet all the time without the dock and absolutely love it. The only time I use the dock really is when I'm taking notes, since I could never really get the hang of fast screen typing, watching movies, or recharging the battery. One of the nicest things is having the keyboard charging up while I use the tablet, then dock up and recharge the tablet while still using it.

I'm looking for advice on purchasing a new tablet for an after Xmas present.
I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Google Nexus 10 or the Asus TF700T-C1-CG with WiFi 10.1.
The reason I chose the Asus is that I like the ability to dock it to a keyboard then my laptop is out the door! That said, if I do want to go that route I just read where Lenovo is launching a new tablet combo next January that is incredible.
I would really appreciate user's thoughts!

If u plan on rooting and flashing ROMs, get the Asus since it will have the keyboard. If u keeping stock, get the nexus for fast updates
^ Agree.
Also, when it comes to being a laptop replacement, just be aware of the limitations.
I can still use Flash on Jelly Bean, but it might not stay that way forever - well, almost certainly won't. And it's almost certainly going to take web developers longer than that to ditch it for compatibility's sake.
I'm going to be giving some of the Office software a shot, but for some people MSOffice is the only thing that will work for their jobs, or they need something very specific. This also goes for other programs that might not have direct, or good, translations to Android.
I find that I can use my TF101 basically any time I'd be using my laptop - although this is only because I built a desktop that I use for my heavier computing needs.

You can get a bluetooth keyboard for pretty much any tablet or even phone.
The TF keyboard dock isn't just a bluetooth keyboard, though. It's an effective counter-balance what with the large battery in it - a battery that charges the tablet and effectively doubles battery life. In a bluetooth keyboard, you'd either have to have dead weight in the case or a kick-stand, and you'd be charging it / replacing batteries separately - a nice feature of the connected dock is that you'll know the battery level so it won't be a surprise to have it suddenly die (and it will still work as long as the tablet has power). The keyboard dock also benefits from having a hardware connection over bluetooth - and it has two stabiliser connections that don't send data, so that it can't wiggle around, as well as being held against the front and back by the part that serves as the immediate dock. It's very stable, just like a laptop or netbook.
The keyboard dock also has two full-size USB ports and a full-size SD Card slot and a track-pad.
Not trying to be a salesman, just point out the differences between what you get with a bluetooth keyboard versus the TF keyboard dock.
It will be interesting to see what they come up with for the Nexus 10, but it will certainly be more like the Surface than the TF series. The TF series is good for people who want something that can function as both a netbook and a tablet. The Surface is a step above regular bluetooth keyboards, but still isn't the same level of purpose and functionality as the TF dock - but it really depends on what you want.

Thanks much for this great info! One KB that I'm looking at for the Nexus 10 is a Motorola with kickstand, built-in battery, & protective case. Probably not as many bells & whistles as the one for the TF but close.

Hi,
what is about the new Prestigio 8" MultiPad Pro Duo (PMP5580C_DUO) ?

I would say the best tablet is the surface, I love mine and the fact it can do anything a desktop can with the exception of installing legacy apps.

Thanks for all of the advice. Unfortunately I missed a few updates from the thread as I've already purchased a Nexus 10. It arrives today.
For those who recommended the Surface, while it's a nice 'hybrid', the price is not justified IMO. I'll see what happens with the Nexus.

Good day, friends!
I'm having a Samsung Galaxy Note II, more commonly known as the 'Phablet'. Initially I was happy that I needn't invest in a tablet as this is combination of both the interfaces. Well, later I was really fascinated by the Windows 8 Pro Tablet that had come up in the market, and I wished I had one.
So basically my question is like, will buying a Windows 8 Pro Tablet render my 'Phablet' useless? Or is there anyone out there, who inspite of having a Phablet owns Tablet? Please provide me with some details!
Thank you very much for the help in advance!
It's really up to you and how you use things.
Go look at a "tablet" in person and see if the size makes enough difference to you. Windows 8 is a whole different OS than Android - some people own multiple phones and multiple tablets just to be able to use different OS/hardware/because work/et cetera.
Your Note II will still do whatever it does, it won't stop working. No one will tell you how you're allowed to spend your money unless you've done something terrible and there's a court order against you.
Think of your useage and when and where you'd be using each. Are you going to lug a tablet around with you all day ? Do you have a bag or briefcase to do so that you would need to carry anyway or will the tablet just stay at home ? Do you spend your time at a desktop computer or would you use the tablet to browse while watching TV ? Et cetera. It's completely up to you.
I have two 10.1" Tablets and an SGS3. I'm intending to buy the Note 3 when it comes out.
I doubt I'll stop using my tablet. My phone will never have the functionability my TF700T has with the Dock. And a 10.1" screen is simply more convenient when watching films or navigating.
It also seriously spares the battery life in my phone if I use my Tablet.
So no, I don't think it does. Not for me, atleast. But it depends on what you intend to use it for, how much you're on the road, and how important some functions are to you.

So, the Phablet-Tablet-Laptop combination is good for a 11th grade student, right?
