[Q] Asus TF700T or Pipo M9 Pro - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I am currently owning a Sony Tablet S 16GB WiFi. I would like to replace it, because of some errors like unstable WiFi and sudden system shutdowns.
The main usage for a new device would be internet and email at home and some games. I don't need to have 3G in the tablet.
Currently I am thinking about the following two tablets:
- a used Asus Transformer Infinity TF700T with 64GB and without key dock
- a new Pipo M9 Pro with 32GB and 3G
Both will be 10.1" providing the same screen resolution.
What do you think would be the better option? Go for a used tablet from a large brand, or try a new Chinese tablet?
Regards
Sven

I had Asus Infinity TF700T before, but I was very disappointed about the bad build quality and the lagging of the device. The browser was laggy and it crashed a lot, and for example the appearance of the keyboard was terribly slow. I hated that tab in every moment. I didn't install any custom ROMs because it required unlocking the device and loosing the warranty.
So I sold it and bought Pipo M7pro with 3G. I like the screen (8.9" full HD IPS) and size of the tablet and this is much faster and smoother than Asus TF700, no lagging or crashing. Also the build quality is better than on Asus, which had loose screen even repaired three times for warranty! I can say the battery life on my usage is better on Pipo M7pro, than it was on TF700T.
I have had it over month no and I'm still really satisfied of this cheap Chinese tab. The multi window feature is pretty cool! Check the video from youtube. :good:

Best tablet €250-€400 with WIFI + 3G ?

There are a lot of tablets, best now would be ipad2 - samsung galaxy but they have the same prices.
Then there is the HTC Flyer - Acer Iconia - Archos 101.
Then we have laptops with tablets that can be clicked out like the Asus EEE Pad transformer (which is good but the 2 is comming out soon) and the Dell Inspiron duo 3232 which has a lot of flaws.
These are the most famous that come to my mind. On Ebay there are a lot of alternatives (or older versions) with better prices, but no one knows how they perform, some with wifi only, some with both.

This one is really weird, 320GB, what is this, some kind of tablet?

Even a 500GB!! :

What are these last 2, they seem perfect, but in reality junk with no good touch-screen and poor touch-capabilities due to Win7?
At the moment I think Ipad 2 or EEE pad transformer are the best.
But maybe i'm waiting for Ipad 3 & EEE pad transformer 2.
What are your thoughts about those links and any tip for a 3G+WIFI tablet between €250-€400 which has a good screen and works fluent?
Thanks!

ASUS Transformer Pad TF300 VS Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 -10.1

Hello. I am looking to buy a 10 inch Android Tablet for around $400...which one is better ? or is there a better one avaiable within this price range. Thanks in advance.....
Asus!
Hi, both these tablets have ics, but the Asus is much more powerful with a quad core processor, im not sure what the Samsung has, also the Asus has a better front facing camera, and it has many more ports so you can put micro sd in the tablet, same as the Samsung but the Asus has more ports on the keyboard dock also.
If I were you and you wanted to play games and do things smoothly then get the Asus, I would get the ASUS, hope I helped, Go here to do a proper comparison site
Type Tablet nation into Google and click on the first one,then scroll down a bit and click compare all tablets then click the asus and sgt2 im not allowed to put links so youll have to go the long way.

[Poll] Help with 10'' android tablet choice

Having a hard time deciding. Options are: Asus TF300T, Acer Iconia A510, Acer Iconia A700 HD.
The main deciding factors are:
- will be used for gaming
- must have Tegra 3 Quad core cpu
- JellyBean
- under 400 euros
The A700 would be my first choice, but some reviews said it lags and it is a little slower then the others. Others said the screen might not be so great (not bright enough). This seems to be caused by the higher screen resolution. Thing is, I don't really need very high res as it may impact gaming performance. However most reviews I saw were old, so Acer may have pushed some updates since then. Also another point in favor of the Iconia is that I plan to use an external keyboard, not like the Asus which comes with its own keyboard/dock.
Another point is that I read that the A700 vs A510 is only about the screen resolution. Is this true? Therefore is the A510 faster because of lower screen res? Would this be a plus for gaming?
Sadly I would love the Nexus 7 as this would check all the boxes, but it's too small. The Nexus 10 is not available for me.
1. Which would be the fastest/lag-less, more swift in general?
2. Would the Iconia A700 be able to run all current 3D android games fluently?
3. Would there be any other choice? If anyone has the time to take a look, please make any suggestions from two stores: fnac and darty. Google for the full links; they are stores in France where I am currently stationed.
Edit: made a mistake in the model name of the Acer tablets, of course they are the A700 and A510. Could a mod please edit the poll, or is there a way for me to correct?

Tf700 or Sony Xperia tablet?

I know all the specs and i've watched (and read) a lot of reviews, but I still can't decide...
Is the tf700 (with Cromi) smooth and fast like the Sony xperia tablet?

Here is something to consider: http://sortable.com/tablets/Sony-Xperia-Tablet-S-vs-Asus-Eee-Pad-Transformer-Infinity-TF700 . Now they compared the Sony with the STOCK tf700. Now if you compare the Sony with the CROMI tf700 ...you probably got the answer!!!:good:

thx, but this is not a '' real'' review, it' a comparison between the specs, not the real user experience. I just wont to konw if the tf700 has still lags with the official update (or with the Cromi rom)...
The Xperia tablet is very smooth but without support/roms; on the other side, the t700 (as i read) has a lot of problems but also has a decent support by this community...

I think the Sony is pretty smooth as is, on the other hand, the tf700 need to use custom rom to do the same. Since we have good support for tf700, I think it's going to get faster and faster as time goes on. If you want to buy a normal tablet and do your daily stuff then the Sony is a better choice, and if you want to play with custom rom, theming, peformance tweak etc... then clearly the tf700. I never try the Sony, but I don't think it's faster, probably about the same on most parts or even slower than the tf700 when set to OC performance mode (quad core) and don't forget the extra battery and sdcard slot in the dock.

i want a tablet for everyday usage (internet, movies, books, games etc). I've got a lot of smatphones, so it's pretty easy for me to flash a rom (but i i wont to do it only to reach the best performance possible, not for theming)... so, do you think that (with this assumptions)the sony is the better choice?

Well, if you don't want to mess around with custom rom etc... then I won't recommend to buy tf700, however, I won't recommend you to buy the Sony Xperia either, there are better tablets out there than the Sony. If the tf700 doesn't have the I/O issue it would be thee best tablet for 2012.

To be frank, I was having some serious buyers remorse over the last month with the transformer. The stock ROM just want what I was expecting for the price point. However after flashing cromi it's like a new machine. It really depends on how much time you want to put into it IMO.
To be honest, if you can wait a couple of months, get the Xperia Z tablet (Snapdragon S4 Pro, Full-HD screen) instead. Tegra 3 is already outdated, you will be sorely disappointed when it comes to gaming in the next few months.
However, if you really want a tablet now, I I'd like to suggest another alternative: ASUS tf300. Since you have the Sony Xperia Tablet S under consideration, I suspect the full HD screen is not the top must-have feature in your mind. Minus the full HD screen, the tf300 has none of the problems of the tf700 and has the same keyboard dock that most of us here want. Since the tf300 and Sony tablet have largely the same specs, to me it is better to go with ASUS because ASUS has awesome track record in updating their products.
Lastly, if you are dead set on the tf700 or the Sony tablet, I can only agree with all the posts above: get your priorities straight (I am comparing stock performance):
Keyboard + Better screen: tf700
Stability: Xperia Tablet S.

thx a lot for the answer, but comparing the stock performance?
Xperia tablet s (stock) vs. Tf700 (with cromi)?
Reading the messagges in the Cromi therad i didn't understand if the tf700 modded is stable or simply more stable than a stock tf700...

Modded tf700 is fast, smooth and very stable....a lot better than stock period!
Modded tf700 is better than the Sony for additional battery life and hi res screen, dual sdcards, keybooard doc and exellent support from XDA.
Now if you don't to mod then Nexus10 or Galaxy10 should be consider for now, if you do have time, you could wait for the new comming tablets!!
thanks a lot to everyone!

[Q] Looking for a new Android Tablet.

Hello, I'm looking for a new Android tablet since my TF700T broke down.
I was mostly happy with it. Although, sometimes it was super slow and buggy.
Here's what I'm looking for in a tablet, the list is ordered from most important to least important.
1. A very good screen. The TF700's screen was the perfect size.
2. A fast internet browsing experience.
3. Removable storage would be nice.
I'd definitely get the nexus 9 when it comes out later this month, pre-orders one now

The Galaxy Tab S 10.5" is an excellent option. Beautiful AMOLED 2K screen (best on the market), great battery life, Snapdragon 800, 3GB RAM. MicroSD slot. Be sure to get the LTE variant, because the WiFi/3G edition has a lesser Exynos.

I came from a TF700T too. The I/O issues were very annoying. Went to a Galaxy NotePro 12.2" LTE. Fantastic tablet, incredibly fast. There's a 10.1" variant if you find 12.2" too big. The only downside is the LCD screen. 2K, but not as crisp as LED. Sadly, it didn't come with an AMOLED screen, and I wanted the Spen. It's perfect for multimedia purposes

I have one of those. It's even more sluggish, slow and unresponsive than the TF700T on a bad day. At all cost, avoid the Tab 2/3/4. They're very low-end devices. The TF700T was 1920x1200, the Tab 3&4 are 1280x800. QuadCore 1.2Ghz where the TF700T had QuadCore 1.6GB. That should tell you enough.
