I really want this tablet but there is a problem, I live in Belgium I've been to many stores: all the ****ing same thing:
Sorry this device is no longer sold!
Does this mean there is coming a new transformer?
Thanks,

Well my thread in general section covers this.
Basically is not confirmed but it's highly likely that Asus will reveal a new transformer at Computex

They don't have the dock, but since you can use the TF201 dock as well, (which most stores probably still sell, at least here they do) you could look for one of those. (I'd reccommend the TF201 dock over the tF700. It has a bigger battery.)
I somehow doubt they'll announce a new transformer. Unless the Tegra 4 is included, NOTHING will be upgraded enough to warranty a new device release. Unless you want to buy the crap W8 RT, of course. The teaser is for a 7" tab. (look at the size in correlation to the pen.)

I'm not so sure. Time will tell
Thing is the memo pad HD is widely known, the trader showed a combo of windows and android.

I'm from belgium and have an infinity since it's release. You can buy it from Amazon.de or fr (de have often cheaper prices) or from fnac.fr. Did you looked at the fnac or at the mediamarkt. Last time I checked it was there. If Asus was releasing a new transformer, the tab would be in discount. For exemple when the tf700t was released, the tf201 was still there, but at a lower price. From what part of belgium are you?

Given that Nvidia appears to be having some major power consumption/stabilisation issues with their Tegra 4 SoC, it's highly unlikely it will be used for another Transformer. So we either have to wait for Tegra 5, or wait for Asus to start and finish lengthy research and negotiations with ARM.
I've found another store called: saturn
They have it there with dock!
Btw; I don't really care a lot about a bigger battery in dock!

Saturn is in the same group as mediamarkt. I don't know why they made 2 name for such similar shop. I think it's a marketing strategy, they want to let us think that the tow shop are fighting each oder so they catch the eyes of everybody. But the prices are good, the service is fine but I would rather go in vandenbore (but the prices are very high) for a good service.

Media Markt is Saturn's "discount shop". You'd be surprised how many stores are actually using that business formula.
Frankly, I have always prefered Saturn over Media Markt. (For one, the refreshing lack of moronic employees. For laughs, go ask the average Media Markt computer-department employee what a CPU is. I've had answers ranging from "That light on the front" to "The button that turns on the computer.":laugh: )

Well f*ck me, looks like you were right. I stand corrected. http://www.theverge.com/2013/6/3/43...sformer-pad-infinity-with-2560-x-1600-display
It sounds crap, though. Only 32GB, no MicroSD (so far), a 2560x1600 resolution.... And the known to have serious power-managament flaws Tegra 4. (it's said to be unable to properly regulate power distribution when used intensively. For gaming, video, streaming, etc...)
Even with 2GB RAM, unless they specifically fixed the I/O issues, this tablet is going to be even more sluggish than ours at that resolution. Especially if it doesn't have a MicroSD, which renders about 90% of our solutions void... Free RAM isn't the issue, we have plenty of that... (I still have 460MB unused left.)
And if one thinks there's already a serious lack of supported apps for the TF700's 1920x1200, imagine what'll happen when you have the ONLY 2560x1600 + Tegra 4 tablet on the market... From a company that refuses to pay bribe money to greedy companies. (EA, Ubisoft/Gameloft...)

No huge change with this new version. The only change is the the screen (but who cares when you can already watch 1080 movies at full resolution) and a better cpu, but with the i/o problems, it won't help. I rate you to wait, try booth and see if it's worth the extra price.

Don't have the money for a new tablet anyway, so I can wait Four/five years ago we didn't even think we'd have these kinds of tablets at all
True.
Just checked how much the TF700 used is selling for. only around 270£ or 400$ not worth it I dont think
I think it's worth waiting until august if you don't have a tab yet. But unless you're very rich don't buy it if you have the infinity. I think I'll wait 2 more years before upgrading, if my tab can play high-res movies and run office.
Unless I win the lottery. If I do, I buy a new infinity to everyone in this topic (€100M next week)
Envoyé depuis mon Galaxy Nexus avec Tapatalk
I'm going to remember that promise!
I agree though, CROMI speeds make the tablet perfectly functional. It's obviously frustrating not having the 'latest and greatest' device but thats technology.
Just hope the ASUS doesn't forget about the current Infinity.
What is interesting is how compatible firmwares will be etc, obviously it's not likely due to the change up to Teg 4 but still.

Haha, seriously though: for me personally, the new infinity probably isn't worth the extra cash. I already have a snappy device that does what I want it to do and has root access, so I am free to do what I want on a FHD screen.
What more could you ask for from a (one year-old) tablet?

So, Iv'e ordered a tf700 and can pick it up in the store tomorrow. But after reading all the problems with multitasking and browsing I'm having second thoughts...
Anybody in Sweden got it from Alina that could tell me about their experiences?
Are there certain batchnumbers that are worse than others?
Really could use some pushing in the right direction here

what Multitasking and Browsing issues?
I read that while downloading torrents for example multitasking often would suffer... and many have complained about browser performance, right?
Are you satisfied with your infinity? Seing as it is maybe the premium android tablet right now, does it perform as such?
before the update i did not have this issue, and i do not have it now. i use atorrent to download files, i just downloaded a couple a little while ago. I had no problem. While they were downloading, i was still browsing the web and moving files. I use Dolphin HD as my main browser and have not had any issues with it. I prefer it over all the other browsers.
Ok, well, I think I'll take the plunge but will sleep on it...
Do you have any experience with other tablets?
anyway hanks for your input!
Cheers
Just a 5 minutes ago I finished showing my dad why I prefer an Android (and FHD) tablet over his iPad 2, he admitted he's using it only for browsing and e-mails and it would be great to have all the possibilities. He's thinking of getting himself a Win8 tablet sometime in the end of the year, but at least he won't have another iPad (which he got in a company, happily).
After yesterday's update I don't have "multitasking issues", as you called it, any more... and actually, what multitasking exactly are you going to have on an iPad? ;D

Most of the io issues are better now, that said it all depends on what you want it for. Its not going to perform like a mid-high end laptop. The only reason I upgraded from tf101 is the screen which is gorgeous.
For most people a good tegra 2 tablet is enough.
Just curious, why do you prefer it to the ipad2, what are your arguments?

Never got the OG Transformer but I had keyboard envy, lol!
I love my Infinity. It's the only possible replacement for my dearly beloved but aging Xoom.
I have had the TF101 AND TF201 and now I have the TF700T. Its the best unit of all of the Transformers tablets and very close to the iPad3 as far as what I ask of both of these tablets to do. I am also sure after the TF700T get the Jelly Bean upgrade that it will make the TF700T better than the iPad3, so much so I will be most likely putting my iPad3 on the eBay block. IMHO get the upgrade to the TF700T.

Much much smoother and fun experience
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
ilostmypistons: All Android devices are a smooth, and fun experience once you root them and get a custom rom on them. I am waiting out for the developing to begin. I owned the OG iPad, lamented the purchase afterwards, sold it, proceeded to purchase the OG Transformer, have not looked back at another tab since, followed ASUS. In my personal opinion as an Infinity owner, and previous OG/Prime owner, and it is only personal opinion certainly. ASUS defines the Android tablet experience, even if the devices have flaws at production. All devices have flaws, my Gnex has flaws, but while Samsung defines the premium Android phone experience, ASUS defines the tablet experience. Galaxy Tabs are nice, though they ultimately feel too 'phon(ish)' to me. I suppose if you are looking for a slightly limited device, with a highly diluted version of Android...tab away, to each their own, though ASUS defines it to me. The UI is not too heavily skinned, the Android is relatively pure (no less pure then a standard CM custom build) the hardware is intense, and I have used each of my tabs as a standard laptop replacement for about 97% of my online experience.
PS: Oh, and I have YET -knock on wood- to experience any of the defects people are mentioning in these forums, on my infinity, and the Prime defects, certainly not present. I have a C7 model, so relatively recent
PSS: All my own personal opinion, no flame war intended, to each their own lol
Had the tf101, have a tf700 now. Android feels pretty much the same as on the tf101 (same lag spikes when dragging the menu etc.), of course the performance in apps is better, the screen is better etc.
But one thing is bad: On the tf101 the release of the pad from the keydock was really easy. Snap and it´s off. On the tf700 i need some force to release it, it feels almost sticky. And yes, that was from day 1.

Bought the TF300, returned it for the TF700. Returned the TF700 as well. Android just isn't good on tablets - it's all lag city on every one of them. The Asus (or Tegra based) are the worst - more apps crash than normal.
On the Infinity I love the 1920x1200 HD screen. Makes for watching movies, reading and streaming so much more exciting and playing games are visually improved from your standard displays . Love the Super IPS+ , I can take it outside on a nice day and still be productive. The Camera is top notch on the Infinity! The best I've seen for a tablet device. Love the tablet Keyboard dock form factor with added battery life and more memory it has pretty much replaced my laptop. It can handle NTSF for the options of larger portable hard drives, that Windows consumer will love. Love the elegance look. I cant wait for Jelly Bean to hit. Fast updates is also very nice. It has its own issues just like any other tablet out in the market fortunately Asus has the quickest updates I've ever experienced. More then likely Infinity will get JB before Sammy.
So its really up to your needs. I love the Stylus on the Note. I'm an artist and would be nice to have something like that around when needed. Also the multitasking features of the Note is cool to! Infinity can do it as well but you will have to go to the Playstore and search for floating apps like Stickit or Overscreen. Although its hard to pry me away from all the features that I love about the Infinity. Both devices are powerful and fast. Maybe I'll just go buy the Note as well for my drawing needs....

Note has pen input
Samsung = high quality
open source, lots of custom roms
Odin = awesome
less expensive
overall very, very good tablet.
If you need a keyborad theres always bluetooth keyboards and i THOUGHT i saw a keyboard type dock tho not as awesome as the transformer's
Personally tho, i prefer the 700, i like that its thinner than the galaxy tab or note, i like the full sized keyboard dock with USB and SD slots, i like how its taken everything i throw at it and asked for more. I also love the extra battery life in the dock.
If you want the keyboard, go Asus. If your not going to use it that much, go Samsung.
I owned the tf 101 and the prime and now own the infinity. I think its awesome especially compared to the prime. I'm so glad best buy exchanged mine. I love the infinity. It's everything the prime should have been. I have zero issues with my infinity as well

Hey guys,
I've just started Law school and it's going to be the first year where all books are going to be fully digital in PDF.
I'm stuck between the 700 and the Nexus 7. I already have a VAIO Z, so don't really need a laptop.
My first choice is obviously the 700, but here in Europe they only seem to sell the 64gb version with the keyboard....about 670 to 725 euros which is really expensive. Besides, after buying many high-end devices you quickly learn that in a few months its going to loose its value, so buying something cheaper or midrange is sometimes best.
The device will mainly be used for PDF reading surfing, forums, facebook and twitter. Any advice?
Seems to me you already know what you want.
Oh no, not another "this vs. that" thead!! <sigh>
Not only is comparing a Nexus 7 with a TF700 like comparing a bicycle to a tank, but trying to determine what *you* would prefer is simply impossible.
If you have access to the devices at a local retailer, I'd highly suggest you go there and look at the devices yourself. If not, just read up as much as you can about the two and make a decision. But again, nobody can tell you what's best for you...

To be honest, I don't prefer to 7 inch device for massive pdf reading. The screen is just too small and you soon find it is painful even though nexus has a 200+ ppi.
I would pick tf700 due to its large screen and high ppi.
But it seems it is expensive in Europe, and so may be you can buy a new ipad instead?
Also, note 10.1 is another option.
By the way, I think new ipad should have a better reading experience on reading due to its 4:3 ratio.
Owning both I can tell you having to read for extended periods of time I choose my tf700 simply because its a bigger screen. Hardware wise they are similar but tf700 is a little better performance and its screen is unbeatable. Nexus 7 is easy to travel with and one thing some people don't think of is it is easier to charge on the go since it charges off USB. Also nexus 7 has jellybean now which is so much smoother than ICS but the tf700 will get it eventually.

Owning both I can tell you having to read for extended periods of time I choose my tf700 simply because its a bigger screen. Hardware wise they are similar but tf700 is a little better performance and its screen is unbeatable. Nexus 7 is easy to travel with and one thing some people don't think of is it is easier to charge on the go since it charges off USB. Also nexus 7 has jellybean now which is so much smoother than ICS but the tf700 will get it eventually.

I disagree. The Nexus 7 actually works as a tablet should. I have a Nexus 7 for my wife, and just bought a TF700 last Saturday (C7 serial) right before I left on a cruise, and stopped using it after 2 days. Constant freeze ups, and keyboard is intermittantly nonresponsive and bad light bleed (I made sure I had .26 firmware). Got to the point where I couldn't change pages in any of the multiple ebook readers I installed as sometimes the creen would regidter the gestures and sometimes not. The hardware may be the similar, but the Nexus is matched to the JB OS(Google made sure of it) and is zippy, especially because of the smaller screen. I want to hold out for JB for the TF700 but I can't see it resolving these issues - It should work out of the box.

Amazon.de sells it for 599, without dock of course. Free shipping to quite some countries...

Hey guys,
I've just started Law school and it's going to be the first year where all books are going to be fully digital in PDF.
I'm stuck between the 700 and the Nexus 7. I already have a VAIO Z, so don't really need a laptop.
My first choice is obviously the 700, but here in Europe they only seem to sell the 64gb version with the keyboard....about 670 to 725 euros which is really expensive. Besides, after buying many high-end devices you quickly learn that in a few months its going to loose its value, so buying something cheaper or midrange is sometimes best.
The device will mainly be used for PDF reading surfing, forums, facebook and twitter. Any advice?

I was in a similar situation like you, I use a lot of PDF's and are very e-mail dependent. I tried the Nexus, but it felt to small tbh. I allready own several laptops and tablet hybrids like the Lenovo x220T but since I got my TF700T i feel there's very little need for them in my day-to-day. Most of my reading is done on my TF700. I was afraid that it would be more than i needed at first with the big screen, support for full HD, gaming etc. But really, now it's my most used gadget and I use it both for work and most of the evenings when at home to.
right now the streaming of 1080p movies from my server almost keeps me to distracted from work..
I say go for the TF700 and get the keyboard dock to while youre at it. It's like the mini laptop you never knew you needed but you just can't be without after a while.
I live in France, I got my 32gB version with dock for 600e tax included, you can easily find the 32gb version in Europe.

I agree, every tablet should work out of the box. Every tablet should work, period. It sounds like your wife got a good Nexus 7 and you got a bum Infinity. The Nexus 7 is nice if you want an ereader that's snappy or if you love to flash roms and kernels. Otherwise, it's kind of a toy. Its limited, non-expandable storage and 7 inch screen are both a blessing and a curse. My 15 year-old daughter has commandeered mine and I'm going through crackflasher withdrawl, but otherwise, I don't miss it. An Infinity that has decent hardware, on the otherhand, will just keep getting better and better as more custom roms and eventually, kernels are available. that's the beauty of this device...there's so much to work with, especially if you get the dock as well.

Well it seems that most of the flaws are something which can't be fixed by any magical custom roms or jelly beans. So pissed that my store had only 7 days return policy. Now the unit is in repair..lool. Used it for 2 weeks and now 2 weeks already in repair.
I bought it on materiel.net
Amazon has it too.

What flaws are you speaking of? It seems that the Zeus V4 custom ROM *does* solve most of the performance issues, so I'm curious as to what flaws can't be fixed via custom ROM?
Obviously the Asus QC issue can't be solved with a custom ROM, but that's a whole different issue!

I would get the nexus 7 and with the extra cash get a ipad . The nexus is a perfect device for on the go stuff . IMO the nexus is hands down the best android tablet out! Its going to get updates first , its silky smooth and it handles everything you throw at it . And it never hurts to have a ipad .

Oops didn't mean to thank you . But if your going to spend a butt load of money on a device don't you want know its going work right out of the box . I love android but we all know the tablet side is not very good . With the nexus your getting IMO the best android tablet at a really low cost . And the ipad is still the king of tablets . I would never buy a iPhone but I have to be real about the ipad its the best out .

The Prime was garbage. Pure and simple sh*t.
Infinity is everything i expected from the Prime but didn't get. I believe Infinity will be good for a while. Android has a HUGE following, and its all based on numbers.
There are a few build issues, and I'm gonna return mine, but getting another.
Relax, this tablet will be around for at least one per two years

I have got that one too.... really nice and fits all the niches that the infinity is too big for. Grab one, you won't be sorry.
Original transformer = still getting updates
Prime = crap but still getting updates, tho i dont know why people would still keep it when most cases they can upgrade to 700
300 = ok, lots of people have it, getting updates
Asus is very bad for QA, slow for customer service, but one thing they are damn good at is supporting products they make with updates well after they come out. And even after Asus stops giving updates for this tablet i think its got enough people behind it that the community will continue to contribute.
Probably doesn't matter a whole lot if asus moves on.
Seems to me there will be tons of customization as this model matures.
Just browse thru the millions of posts on the whole of XDA.
Folks are still tweaking 2 year old phones and tablets.
Heck the wife and me usually go about 2 years on tablets and 3 years on laptops.
Don't do like us...just use it till it melts down.

That's not really the point though. ASUS has effectively sold me a high end sports car that can only go 25mph on the highway. Looks and sounds impressive. Drives like A$$

All these device makers have essentially abandon their work as soon as it appears on sale for consumption.
The attitude is the next best thing...
You'll never win that game.
why would they abandon it so soon? If they announce another tablet, would you buy it? Given that you already know how quickly they abandon devices?

Having owned a TF Prime, Infinity, and now the Nexus 7 the 7 is a surprisingly capable tablet.
Although Asus has it's fair share of build quality issues my Prime was rock solid and it was the 1st batch (pre-order) to boot. However I like many Prime owners took the Best Buy loophole and got an Infinity as a replacement since Asus discontinued the Prime even though they said they wouldn't. The Infinity has a noticeably crisper display, better color representation, as well as some better pre-installed apps like the stock browser and keyboard when compared to the Nexus 7. Despite this if you are willing to give up 3" of screen real estate the Nexus 7 is a much more polished tablet and has increased mobility, as a guy I can still fit it in my jean pocket.

Spot on, the Nexus 7 is the opposite in that it looks like a cheap, crappy car but it's been tuned out the a$$. The Nexus 7 not only uses a weaker version of the Tegra 3 but also uses slower ram than the Infinity but doesn't suffer from the same I/O and "browser not responding" issues, its amazing what optimization can do.
They are no stopping support for this tablet.... that is just silly. Like others have said, just check out their previous track record with their older devices.

So, i've been presented with an opportunity to sell my tf101 for R$1600 ( about U$800 ), and i was wondering what upgrade would be the best for it.
The tf201 for R$1600 (U$800) , the tf300 for 1800 (U$900), or the tf700 for R$2200 (U$1100)?
I'm floating between the 210 and the 300, because of the price mainly. But i hate the screen of the 300 and the wifi/gps of the 201.
What do you guys think?
I suppose i could consider another brands, assuming they would also have a well built dock as the transformer series does.

Brazil man, only thing that comes cheap here is beer
I considered buying it outside, but with 60% of government taxes and shipping, it wouldn't worth it.
At least i'm stabbing the dude that will probably buy my tab
I'd go with the 300 or the infinity, Unless you enjoy using your tablet in bright sunlight with no access to shade 90% of the time the screen on the 300t shouldn't really matter.
This also coming from someone who's used the TF300T in arizona, home of the neverending desert sun 8 months of the year... -_-

But, how dark is the screen? Is it darker than the 101? And the places I have access to WiFi the signal is pretty high, does the 201 manages to screw a 4/5 signal?
I'm so confused might end up getting another 101
Sent from my GT-N7200 using XDA Premium HD app
It's not as bright as the 101, and as far as the 201 I don't know personally, but from what I've read its device based, usually lowers signal a fair bit. A prime owner could elaborate more though.
I only wish the tf700 wouldn't be so expensive here
