Hello,
i have the options to chose between these 2. nexus 7 or tf101. prices are exactly the same and the 101 comes with the dock, card and some bag.
ive played with it for a while i find it a little bit laggy to be honest but overall i see it as a good product. on the other hand never touched the nexus 7 so i have no clue how it is.
i know that depends on what exactly i wanna do with the table but i would appreciate some pro/cons from the ppl that owns them.
thank you

Nexus 7 by a country mile. I own both, the TF101 is horrendously laggy and is probably not receiving Jelly Bean. You can still connect a bluetooth/usb keyboard to the Nexus if you need to, along with any other accessories. The main plus side of the TF101 is the extended battery life, but it wasn't that much of a big deal for me.
Have the TF101 and played with the Nexus , Nexus 7 is smooth and fast but that 7inch screen is just to small for a tablet.
i'm trying to get rid of my TF101 for the Nexus 7.
like others are saying, it's laggy (on stock). although i rooted the TF101 to put JellyBean on it, and it's pretty good so far.
don't forget you get micro sd expansion on top of the 16gb/32gb on the tf101 + additional sd card slot, 2 usb port and battery on the dock. i guess it on depends what you need, the nexus will give you continuous OS updates before other tablets and it is more portable and newer.

I'm pretty sure JB is being officially ported to the TF101.
Personally I say go with the TF101 just because it comes with a keyboard and some sort of pouch or case. The Nexus 7 is small for a tablet, but is faster. You can root the TF101 and install a JB ROM like CM10 or RaymanFX's AOSP or TeamEOS (correct me if I'm wrong).

i am running RaymanFX's AOSP JellyBean on my TF101 and yes, it runs much better than stock. carrying around the TF101+dock is like carrying around a netbook. as soon as i find a buyer, i'm' getting myself the N7.

Yeah you're right it is like a Netbook but you are sacrificing screen size for performance. In my opinion, screen will always take precedence, but to each their own. I am also debating a N7 so if you get one could you tell me how it is? It might be one of those devices which I can make an exception to my opinion.
I just went through this exact same debate. I wanted something to take on the road with me when I travel. I wanted access to word, excel, and powerpoint too. I debated and debated. The Nexus 7 kept tugging, but a few factors sold me on the TF101.
Pro-Transformer:
Expandable memory - I dropped a 32gb card in right away. I also have the card reader on the dock for emergencies.
Keyboard - bluetooth keyboards are all well and good, but they don't come with several extra hours of battery life.
HDMI out - I can run this into a monitor/HDTV and make presentations with it. Very convenient.
Pro-Nexus:
Processor - Tegra3 vs Tegra2. That's all I'll say.
Portability - 7" is very convenient for traveling.
Software - you know the updates are coming.
Overall, the Nexus pro's couldn't sway me. It all comes down to what your personal needs are. Get your legal pad, make your list, and be happy with your decision.

First if all thank you all for your replies.
I have dicided to go for the tf. Just played with the 7 inch tablet from samsung and I got to say..... It's small. I have htc one x so if I buy the nexus ill add only 2 inch to my display if u know what I mean. On the other hand tf have some great thinks that comes in the package. I get the keyboard the sdcards and the extra inch comparing with my phone. And since everybody is saying that jb on tf is very fast I solve the speed difference. The only thing left is the 1080 movies that the tf is not able to.play from my understanding. Is this true?

I'm looking to get an ASUS tablet but with all the different models I'm looking for input from you guys that are rooted and running custom roms.
I'm a cellphone guy and this will be my first tablet. I'm not looking to get some pile that I'm going to be pissed off about because I can't do this or that.
I don't really have a "need" since I'm just looking for something to hack on...(root, roms, customization, web browsing..running benchmarks because I like looking at the speed, OC'ing... ya know the normal nerd shiz.
The "tinkering" is what I like, probably the same as alot of you guys, just trying new things on it and that stuff...just like my S3.
I'm looking at the tf700t right now for $300 used. I can't really find the difference with the "t" specification on the end..?
Which model should i be interested in if this isn't the "one?"
Am I going to be happy with this, being able to root and flash roms?
Is this the one with the plastic piece/bezel on the top so the GPS actually works decent?
Are these speedy or are they piles of crap?
Is $300 a decent price?
Would you go with Google Nexus 10 instead?
I
Is this the tf700t? removed
is that one above the same as this one?
removed
Hard to tell for me since I never handled these guys.
Well Thanks for your help, if you think I'm missing the boat here and should go with a different tablet, let me know. I like the ASUS look, but not set in stone on it. I see some people saying they regret buying their ASUS tab and wish they went with the Nexus10. I like the Nexus10 too.
The first one is not the same as the second, the first one was the model before called the transformer prime, that one was removed from stores within about 6 months. I advise you to stay away from that one. The one on the bottom is the transformer infinity the one that is the better one. I have mine rooted and unlocked with cleanrom 2.4 and clemsyns 1.9 kernal. Boy can I say that its a sweet device now, stock it was okay but now its amazing. I would totally get it with the price of 350$.
This tablet has some advantages over the nexus 10 too.
Transformer Infinity's (TF700T) Advantages:
It has a micro SD card slot.
It has a dock that you can always connect to for extra battery life along with more ports.
Development is stronger AT THE MOMENT for this tablet.
For 350$ you can get 32 gigs of storage.
Nexus 10s advantages:
Better processor inside.
Better screen resolution.
Better support from manufacturer.
Disadvantages:
No micro SD card slot.
No docking station that adds battery life.
400$ only gets you 16 gbs of memory.
Not a lot known about this tablet yet to judge how great it really is or can be.
Hope this helps you out a little.

How does the n10 have better support? Asus is considered to be the best. Even if the n10 is a nexus, it's made by Samsung, considered to be the worst...
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
Because its a google product so logically google is going to release all of its updates and support quicker then any other device period. Dont get me wrong Asus has some awesome support.
Thanks guys.
I agree with the advantages over the Nexus tablet. I like the expandable storage. Plus 32gb for the price is great.
The resolution is better on the N10 but, really, I'm not a huge freak about that.
I'm sure the resolution is great and it has IPS mode right? I've heard good things about that.
I thought I'd be missing NFC, but in reality, it's a novelty to me, wow cool, ok move on. I've used it like 4 times on my S3, only because i bought a bunch of the tiles. They are in a drawer somewhere. Useless.
The dock looks pretty decent, kinda pricey but, i'll find a used one.
The infinity has USB OTG right? I'm assuming it does.
The processor difference between the N10 isn't that great and I don't really do anything that requires that much power..besides wow'ing myself with benchmarks, so i think it will be fine.
I'm not too worried about the updates since I won't be stock ever. I'm sure we'll be at 4.2 within no time if isn't already.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to try to score the infinity off craigslist right now. I'll let you know what I think.
One last question..
The "gold" grey" models is referring to the actual color right or am I retarded? or both?

The resolution on the infinity still wows me though, its a nice looking tablet regardless. Sadly the infinity doesnt have USB on it however there is an adapter that plugs into your charger port to give you that support.
I have to agree that the dock is sweet but pricey, I personally dont own one yet and am patiently waiting for a Ubutu port before I make any further purchases.
Yeah the benchmarks on this thing are crazy if you do some tweaking, I will attach a pic with my benchmark on this post. It is pretty good.
Just make sure that it is indeed the infinity as the post says the transformer prime which is different then the transformer infinity. If the guy has the box the box should say infinity. Good luck man!
EDIT:Yes that is referring to is color not a stupid question either lol.

So far so good. I really haven't played with it, been busy with some other stuff but i'm glad i got it over the n7 or n10 even.
Once I root/rom i'll let you know, stock isn't what i like on anything.
Thanks for asking though!!
Congrats on the Infinity purchase!! You'll love it! Better choice than the N10 in my opinion. I had the Prime, then bought the Infinity when it was released and my girlfriend got the Prime. The only thing about the N10 that excites me is that GameLoft and EA said they are going to support it with their games. So that means the Infinity will get support too with its high res display!! Bonus!!!

Thats good that your liking it man, once you root it and get that custom rom on it you will be amazed believe me. I only have one complaint about the tablet and its the my left side of my screen creeks but other then that I dont have any of the other problems people are complaining about.
Yes!! Finally gameloft will support this beast of a device!

I think the hardware is okay, but im really surprised how much its lagged, applications are often crashing, it isnt as responsible as it have to be. Hope it is problem of stock ROM, because i dont think it can be a problem with chipset itself.

Hi there. I just unlock my tablet yesterday. Install clean rom and very suprised with browser speed and tablet itself. Amazing stuff.
I have played with a lot of tablets and when you have to root/unlock it to make it better your wasting your money. What I have found is stock rom or custom rom made no difference to the problems Asus 700t have been having. Its not allot but its more the most.
Makes me wonder if these guys can make a custom rom making the 700t better and faster why in the world would Asus not do the same and let people root it. You know the thing would sell even more.. lol what do I know.
I havent decided to root yet, because maybe im going to buy ipad 4 or nexus 10 instead, but they dont have as good keyboard as infinity. If there is someone with rooted phone, can make a short clip from the rooted ui and upload it to yt? The only thing i dont like on the infinity is performance and possibly low battery life but its synonyme for android hd device.

Low battery life? No single device will last as long as the 700 with a dock, dear friend. It even outlasts the iDevice series in whatever iteration you wish. So that's the poorest reason you an put up for buying into something else. The performance with a custom ROM (in my case CROMI) is pretty good, and although some other device may have its own perks (like a tad more 'snappiness' out of the box), you won;t get the full package deal the 700 offers with any of them (connectivity, external storage battery-carrying (!) keyboard dock, FullHD screen with high screen brightness, etc.)...

I mean the speed and optimalization of custom ROM. I really first want to see how big improvement is to upgrade it to custom ROM, because I dont want to lose warranty for nearly any improvement.
EDIT: Im really thinking about the iPad 4, only it can offer me high battery life and smooth system, I dont want to have android tablet anymore. I spent about 800 dollars for tablet with unique and beautiful design, but with laggy and ****ty system and with low battery life. What to say...
EDIT2: I tried to factory-reset it and now it works without lags and apps crashes, ill see later if i still want to buy iPad.

Just wanted to share my experience - some time ago I got ipad 3, exchanged it to tf700 and then exchanged it to tf600 and now I have some thoughts that might help you deciding what tablet is right for you.
If you don't want to root your tf700(I didn't root it because it stops official updates and voids the guarantee, and from the start I knew that I'll probably sell or exchange it anyway), then you won't get normal performance from it, I tried resetting it, disabling stock apps, etc, and interface finally stopped lagging, but to really make experience smooth, you'll need to unlock it. About battery life - in my experience, it isn't much greater then ipad's, but it definitely lasts longer, that's a fact. Surfing the net is more enjoyable on ipad because of its 4:3 screen, but maybe it's just me. Video playback on infinity's screen is outstanding, though, and I am not even sure, on which tablet I liked to watch movies more, on ipad or tf700. The keyboard is also not the greatest - tf600's stock dock is better, at least you can press backspace anywhere and it registers - I had a problem with it on tf700. Build quality of tf700 is great, tf600 feels worse after it, but ipad's build quality is better then tf700's.
So I guess, you should make a decision - which OS suits you best, because all three are great devices, and you definitely shouldn't make your decision based on stock tf700 firmware - it is very bad and it's a fact.

Why Asus wouldn't put the cleanest, fastest ROM on their device is a very good question.
And the answer probably has a lot to do with marketing, time-to-market cycles and other things we don't know much about.
But your statement that custom roms don't make a difference is booooogus! Try CleanROM Inheritance and you never look back! And scr... the warranty!

I decided to sell the Transformer and buy iPad. Few days ago, iPad 4 finally arrived and I'm really happy. It's my opinion and I know that if i have custom rom, I'll be hapy also with TF700, but I think, Android isnt good on tablets, its status bar wastes display area and its firmware upgrades are really bad.

You are entitled to your own opinion and you have made your decision, but I think you made a mistake.
I have tried the Ipad 4 and my CROMI-fueled Infinity is so much faster and smoother, not to mention more powerful...and it's setup and themed to my liking. Android is great for tablets.

Noticed you posted this from your Infinity :laugh:
In my opinion Android is the most fun.
You can do anything to it; from bricking your device to falling in love with it over and over
Hundreds of users show up in these forums crying.
Those that learn and take the leap more often than not stay as happy customers.
I myself whined and cried in past threads...I am now a very satisfied user.
The TF700T was born for custom ROMing.
(with fist raised) Power to the Androids!

Let's not measure power by raw specifications - it works only in android world. Maybe, if he tried nexus 10 instead of tf700, he would have different opinion on android, but the fact that top android tablet on android sucks in out-of-the-box condition is kind of sad.
Just got a nexus 10 today.
This thing is fast
But I discovered that it lacks a micro SD slot.
I have tons of things on msd cards now.
So the debate is whether to switch to a tf700 which has decent resolution but at least the stock rom is ridiculously slow and laggy
Does anyone have any experience with both of these platforms?

How much data you have on the microsd? what kind of data? movies/pictures? is it too big for your Nexus10 storage? Have you considered cloud storage? Nexus 10 is a better device minus the microsdcard.

Indeed the Nexus is better because of the GPU, but the TF700 can easily reaach its performance when modded. Plus the TF700 has the keyboard dock and then it has 2 batteries, 1 MicroSD, and 1 SD slot.

I tried a Nexus 10 today which was totally stock and was surprised at how laggy and slow it was compared to CROMi-X

Oh, stop it. Self-advertising is soooooo 2001.
J/K
But I'll be damned if a CROMI-X'ed 700 is not as good if not better than a stock Nexus 10...
The N10 can have all the speed it wants; without a MicroSD slot it will always be a lesser device.
I've tried the n10 on a display in Germany a few days ago. Aside from the frankly hideous shape, it was also nowhere near as 'gloriously fast' as people make it out to be.
My TF700 on stock next to it could keep up rather well, I imagine it's quite a bit faster on Cromix.

I don't know how you guys testing the Nexus 10, but I'm using my cousin N10 and this thing is fast. The N10 will blow the tf700 fully modified and OC to the teeth out of the water in multitasking. Just imagine you running custom rom and OC kernel with this baby. Not to be bias I did some search for a review and it rated almost 5 stars everywhere, here are a few links:
http://www.omgchrome.com/nexus-10-review/
http://www.trustedreviews.com/google-nexus-10_Tablet_review
So it's not just me. Oh about the sdcard, my cousin, just use a mini USB to sdcard adapter ...may not look as pretty but pretty compact and does the job fine. Also it's not fair to compare an old hardware (ft700) to a new hardware (N10), but the fact it's definitely faster, better resolution and nicer to hold in my hand. Also the legginess possible from the Android JB 4.2.1 software, but not the N10 hardware. Once Google upgrade the software, you shouldn't see any lags anymore :good:

I agree with you to certain degrees BUT, The nexus offers little features compared to a Transformer. The Transformer is plenty for every day use. I would only say go with a NEXUS if you want to game hard core. If you want more battery life, storage expandability, and a physical keyboard docking, go with the infinity. If you want more of a toy for playing games on, go for the Nexus, yet as buhohitr said, the Tranformers is getting to be a year old so it is kinda outdated. In my personal opinion, technology advances every 6 months. New and better things become available and it is just how it is. BUT, I still love my transformer and WOULD NOT get rid of it due to the simply fact of the keyboard. Have you ever tried typing a paper or report on a touchscreen????

Not to debate with you because you're right too, but I want to give everyone some of my takes. I no longer use the keyboard dock came with the tf700, why? because it's awkward, flip over all the time, specially on my lap. I purchased a separate mini stand (7$) and wireless keyboard/mouse (40$) and found it's working much better, I can have the board on my lap and move around very nicely. Also another note is when you pickup the tf700 while it docked you have to be careful to hold it right otherwise you may break the hinges, but again even on a flat surface, this thing kept flipping over all the time when it's in a angle and I tried to touch and hold to move/copy. If anyone never try a real mouse with the tf700 you should, it much faster and a lot easier to navigate, specially when browsing, just scroll the wheel on the mouse and save your arm from getting tired.
No Nexus device will have MicroSD in the foreseeable future. AFAIK, it's a deliberate option by Google, and unless it's changed Nexus devices will rely on internal memory.
Forgive my ignorance, does the Nexus 10 have a USB connector? Could you plug in a microSD reader? I have one that's little larger than a thumbnail. Not perfect, but it would take care of your problem.
That said, feel free to get yourself an Infinity I know many people complain about its lagginess and whatnot. It depends on your expectations and what you do with it. I can only say I'm rooted, locked and on stock 4.2.1 and am still very enthusiastic about it.

As if.
These were the same reports that had a leaked image of the new Note 3( with the serial number I9500(Which is the SGS4) and turned out to be a midrange phablet called the ZOPO ZP950), claimed that the Galaxy Tab 3 would have 1920x1080 resolution (which has already been announced as having a crappy 1280x800 res.) and that the Galaxy S4 would feature a flexible display. (Which it doesn't.)

I've always blamed the TF700's lag on too little RAM. Glad to see the next version has double the memory.
I'll wish I had it, but fortunately there's CleanROM for mine.

I dont think RAM was really a big issue for the Infinity. What really needs fixed is the i/o. When folks start purchasing the new Transformer, and if it dont have better i/o, I will definitely probably go with a different tablet.

With that nickname you're going to need a new abbreviation for the abbreviation. (This makes me have flashbacks to my time in the military, LOL!.) And you're well on your way to get at least an honourable mention for the longest ROM name in human history.
Also, I won't be able to download your ROM anymore because of the maximum path length under Windows.
Double RAM isn't going to do a bloody thing if they keep using the crap ones..
I still have 460MB RAM free right now, so why would more RAM make a difference if it lags even with free RAM?

+1, exactly
More ram would be nice, though our tf700 did not necessarily need it
Some of us have less ram on our phones and they handle apps updating just fine.

More ram would be nice for multi-tasking applications. My phone is crap for having free ram, but my tablet I have plenty, and it has the same amount of ram.
Really thinking about getting this tablet, can't hurt to have USB3.0, larger battery, higher res screen, and well new CPU/GPU at least. Though the I/O issue has to be fixed.
Quite a few reports about the extreme power drain from Teg4. Apparently not yet harnessed at all

Have a link? I'll wait till the guys over at Ars give us a breakdown of the chip before getting too worried. I'm just worried about the I/O of the device. We've seen the benchmarks of Tegra 4 paired with a fast SSD in the reference tablet, so hopefully we see something similar.

Double the ram means nothing. As others above stated, i/o is the real issue. Faster memory and a better bus are what Asus really needs.

Naturally they should update the dock over time but I thought they were moving toward a universal dock for their products? I'd hate to buy a new tablet and then have to buy a new keyboard dock.
It's not as if I can afford a new tablet, anyway.
(certainly not as I already intent to buy a Note 3.)
Send From My Samsung Galaxy S3 Using Tapatalk 2
I'm disappointed they didnt include speakers on the dock. Would have been a good feture
I wonder if there will be a version with the Tegra4's optional LTE modem...
And I wonder if the Linux OSS Grate driver will work on Tegra4 as well as 2/3. Hmmm.
If the dock has a usb3.0 usb port and the bad I/O of the tf700 effects the data transfer speeds between devices via cable. Then wouldn't it make sense for the I/O in the new 2013 transformer to be improved in order to fully utalize the 3.0 speeds

Hmmm..
MTP is slow to begin with, so it will make little difference there (my sgs3 takes just as long to copy a file).
And don't forget, ASUS is not officially acknowledging the I/O issue. I wonder if the R&D team even knows about it.

A lot of people are complaining that the new transformer pad is slacking (usb 3.0, 5mp back cam,ect..) but i think they are working to a sell resnably priced tablet rather then all the top tech and gizmos. If the rumor that it will sell roughly around 399$ for the tablet and 499$ for the full kitten kaboodle ASUS will earn some respect from me.
Just hope the dock for that I'd interchangeable with the current tf dock! So I could just buy the tablet itself
