How well has the TF700 held up in the past year? I've heard of its lagginess, but I'm willing to add CROMI to it, which I hear improves its performance dramatically.
I'll be using this tablet for media consumption (music, streaming movies/ shows, movie file playback, etc.), eBook reading, general web browsing, and the occasional GBA emulating.
Basically, I'll be looking to have this tablet for at least around a year before I upgrade, so should I look to the TF700?
Asus will release a new gadget soon. If you can wait some more weeks.
Otherwise, both are very good tablets. I really love mine.
If I can bought another one, definitely I'm going to Xperia Z. Take a look. Seen to be very good one.
My best advice is that you should wait for the upcoming Transformer Infinity with Tegra 4, it will outclass both the Nexus 10 and the tf700 in terms of hardware. Nevertheless, if you need to get a tablet now, and since you mentioned GBA emulating, I would recommend the tf700 because it has this really awesome thing called the keyboard dock. I don't know how easy it is to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the Nexus 10, but on the tf700 with the dock, you can map all the on-screen virtual buttons to the hardware keys on the dock when you run those GBA emulators. How awesome is that? Running GBA games with real buttons is a joy.
Other than that, the Nexus 10 is obviously the faster device. Just my 2 cents.
I would just wait. The next generation of tablets are right around the corner.

I would definitely just wait. The Transformer has some pretty bad problems with performance due to poor I/O speed. So, if you were going to get one right now, I would get the Nexus 10.
Wait to see what the new one is going to do.

Depends on how much and what you are looking for and what you want to do with it...I went with the nook color and flashed android on it and I love it. I choose the nook because I didn't need a camera or needed all the features. As of now I have Gingerbread running on cm7 and over clocked at 1.1ghz .runs smooth, flash player works as well as youtube. Hell u can even running honeycomb off that lil ****er.$250 for it....can't neat the price ...oh and ya this ebook reader runs flash stock soon and the Ipad is 400 bucks and it can't.....I find that funny..

Motorola Xoom looks alright!
Does anybody think that with the nexus 7 having similar hardware to the tf300t, we might start seeing more custom roms?
If that's not the case, at least Asus delivers updates on time (no major customization of the UI), and we can unlock the bootloader with the tool provided by them.
It's way better than the strategy used by Motorola (I also have a Defy, great device with a strong community formed around it, but crippled by the official support).

No one knows. Anyone that answers otherwise is just speculating.
theoretically, it should be a reasonably trivial effort to port a Nexus 7 system dump to the TF201/300T. I'd give it a go myself if I didn't have a broken arm at the moment.

Well those specs do claim it uses the T30L. And the transformer 300 does use the T30L
Is the transformer clocked to 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz? Is the nexus 7 clocked higher?

Shame as its half the cost of TF300 and even though its got half the screen size I should have waited! ha ha

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Based on initial tests, the N7 stock rom does not have full usb driver support or sd card. No camera either, so would be either a lot of missed function, or a seriously patched N7 rom and this assumes you never use the dock.
Looks like the TF300 needs its rom and perhaps the key additions from JB patched to it.
Or wait for a JB release, which possibly will happen after the cardless and OTG gimped N7 settles in consumers hands for a few months.
Heh. I'd just like to see even a half-working port just to play around with. All the rest of the gear will come with CM10 anyway

And since I've seen that even Windows RT has a desktop I just shake my head about MS.
What were they thinking? This is a half backed product all over the place.
It's no FHD.

It's not FHD because of licensing requirements I think. Android is free to license (one of the reasons it took over the smartphone market). Windows is charging for their OS though I'm sure its less for the stripped down ARM OS.
Reminds me of when Windows phone was a huge player. Then it completely died to android because droid was free and Windows Portable (orwhatever it was called) cost 30 bucks a phone.
It may be a big reason why Windows decided to screw over OEM manufacturers a bit and make their own Slate devices. They need to establish marketshare before manufacturers will want to pay too much for Windows OS.
3 mobile operating systems are good.
It's better to have 2 offending invaders vs one...
I get tired of trashing iOS even tho I know little about it other than it seems to work.
Now Windows is a different story...the evile empire from the West will again rise to gather

Very unlikely since you can't buy Windows RT and it's closed source.
I think what i want to know is not the quantity of RAM but if the DR3 is dual channel or not. Dual channel DDR3 would be a nice bump. But i bet its a 2gb single channel stick.

Needing a stable tablet is one reason *to* root! Seriously, rooting does not make your tablet un-stable - if anything, it allows you customize it to make it *more* stable...

True, but like the op, many people just dont want to root their tablet. Some dont feel comfortable dabbling inside the inner software workings on the tablet, while other just dont want to risk bricking, voided warranties etc...

IMHO get the TF700T. I have had the TF101, TF201 and of the three the TF700T is the most stable and the berst featured unit. As for rooting, I tried that for a while when android first became popular but not that android if much more mature as an OS I do not feel the need to tinker with it plus the features that come along with the OS and applications meet my needs as a user.
The note 10.1. From what I hear its more stable and at that resolution more apps work for it.

Before the release of Jelly Been, the Glaxy note 10.1 is clearly a winner over both transformers. It's very stable and works well. Both of our Transformer are not working as expected, many issue. My family (4 people) has refused to use it because the browser is suck, the pad randomly stutter/freeze etc..I have rooted and installed browse2ram, it helps, but no where near normal. Seriously, my 600$ Infinity is sitting inside my draw waiting for the Jelly Been update. This is my true honest opinion. Many claimed that it's OK, but it's not and hope for Jelly Been release will solved all the issues.

He is just trolling you. Don't be a suckered. The Infinity is badass! Best electronic purchase in 4 years. It literally blows away the competition. The Infinity is the flagship android device that every other manufacturers is trying to emulate. The jelly bean update will make it more intuitive and is smooth as butter. Can't wait! :good:
IF you want out of the box stability go for the note 10.1... If want Full HD and a mini hdmi port then you go for the Infinity.. If you want an awesome Pen for writing or drawing go for the Note.. If you want the tablet with keyboard/battery to make it look like a notebook laptop go for the inifinity. If you want your tablet to control act as a remote/tvguide, dual front facing stereo speakers go for the note. If you can decide still... Go to best buy order the infinity and note at the same time and play with them and return the one you are not satisfied with before the return window runs out.

I was in your boat a few weeks ago (a tablet for school deciding between these two). Bought the tf700 and returned it a few days later for the note 10.1. The tf700's performance issues werent worth the $500. It had a lot of trouble loading magazines from Google play and anything else highly detailed. My wife's original tab 10.1 was loading things faster. The speakers are also terrible but wasn't the deal breaker.
The note is fast, stable, and more useful for school, but after seeing the screen on the tf700, I couldnt possibly stay with it. PDFs and textbooks for school look a million times better on the tf700. You could stay zoomed out on magazines and still read the text. The notes screen just hurt my eyes.
I returned the note and decided to wait for something better. A note 2 FHD would be awesome....

The Note 10.1 is better for school IMHO, the note taking and multi-tasking.
I thought the Infinity was the best and the keyboard feature is awsome, but then again an Asus netbook can be had for 250 euros.
Here in europe you can only get the 64gb keyboard inifnity for 710 euro!
I ordered the Note which was 475.
The Asus also has a lot of issues, for a tablet of that price.
It would have been great if the sammy had FHD screen, but the digitizer was the reason why it was kept at 720.
For taking note, doing research and reading and annotatin pdf I see the Note being the better choice.
The 700 is good, but if you really need a keyboard a netbook does the job and you can use full windows apps.
Any one have any idea when the successor will come out?

I'm willing to bet the successor will use a Tegra 4 SoC. From the articles that I've read, this would mean a release date around August.
I don't think the Infinity is getting the bad press that you think. Sure it has its faults but every product has some sort of fault. It's still rated as a top Android device and aside from the annoyance with the memory used, many people love their device. I really enjoied my Prime but the issue with BT audio made the tablet useless for my purpose of portable media.
I'm not really finding bad press about the tablet other than disgruntled owners who post on forums.
Keep in mind too that ASUS has been busy building and selling the Nexus for Google, Add to that the two new devices, the PadFone and the FonePad that BGR is talking about and you see they have actually been doing a lot of new devices and getting good press for them.
I'm just scared the next one won't have a tegra 4. I've bought too many tegra games to change to a different soc
