Quick question to anyone else who has bought a TF700 dock. I ordered one from office depot that arrived today, and the back of it shows:
Model: TF201 Mobile Docking
Customer P/N: TF700T-DOCK-GR
Is this the TF700 dock after all, or is this the 201 dock? Very confusing label.

EDIT: it's been confirmed by Asus there is no difference in the docks. Just the label is different. Bad Asus, charging more for the label alone...

Someone with the TF201 dock confirm?
The TF201 dock is supposed to be very similar to the TF700 dock so I wouldn't know.

Yes, i can confirm the tf201 dock works with the in infinity. I just received my tf700 today. I read the dock for the prime works. Bought the tf201 dock from bestbuy a couple of hours after. Works perfect. BTW, its on sale for 99 on best buy.

Not sure. I got my dock yesterday, the tf700 is coming in today. Was hoping to confirm that it's the right dock before opening so it would be easy to return.
I have bought the 64 GB version a few weeks ago (early-go retail) and my dock reports itself as the TF201 dock running on firmware 207. I guess we're all fine.
EDIT: typo. Thanks, mate! Now stop bugging me.
Are you sure? It should be firmware 207.

I know it works, I was trying to see if anyone had the same thing happening with the dock?
Dude. It works. I bought the 201 dock. using it with my TF700 64gb. it fits perfect. the Dock came with firmware 207. close the thread. it has been confirmed before.

Thanks. I had heard it didnt' fit perfect, opened mine up, it's perfect!
One thing to note is you can get the 201 doc for 99 bucks at best buy, if they are shipping the 201 dock in place of the 700 specific dock, return it and buy it for the right price. I like that the old dock works, but obviously asus is being a little shady shipping the 201 dock in place of the new one assuming there even is a new one.
My 201 dock from Best Buy is a great fit.

What was the firmware revision number of the T700 dock, could you attach a screenshot?

Good to know it's the same mobile dock that everyone else have, also you look closely while it's folded the left and right side didn't match the right side doesn't have as much (gap between keyboard) clearance as the left near the bottom part of the tablet.
where is it safe to get the real tf700 dock ?

Don't be so sure - I ordered a TF700 and TF700 dock from Office Depot, but received the TF201 dock.
However, that being said, I don't believe I've seen anyone with an "official" TF700 dock yet, so I'm not even sure one exists (yet, at least)...

I received my TF700 dock (ordered on Amazon via a reseller) and it is also the TF201 dock.
Images of the box are attached.

Is this why it seems the Prime docks just vanished? Everyone is on the bandwagon to charge more for old stock...
The tablet is so heavy it kind of makes it akward, I could only imagine the tf700 dock being supposedly lighter would make this worse. Wonder if they figured out the balance issue....
hi everyone I bought a tf700t a few days ago and waiting for delivery. I am just wondering is accessories of older products such as prime, tf300 etc
are able to used on tf700t ?
For example, the charger, docking, case and anything can be used on it
Thank very much

Some yes, some no.
Cables seem to be the same. The docks it depends. The TF201 and TF700 seem to be the exact same piece of hardware as suspected by many and proven by craftyhacks here.
To expand on your question, other accessories such as cases and screen protectors may fit or may not. Pick through the accessories section for more elaboration on this. My case and screen protector are both from another device and work perfectly, but others have not been so lucky.
It seems like 90% of the posts I read about TF700T docks are from people who have the relabeled 201 dock (some happy, some not), but there are also claims that people have seen the two designs torn down, so there must be "real" 700 docks apparently floating around out there to compare vs. relabeled ones. Since ASUS relabeled the 201 inventory as 700 docks, I am assuming at some point retailers will sell out of the 201 units and restock with
I am wondering if there are retailers that are known to carry the "real" dock now?

As far as I can tell, no European retailer carries the TF700 dock.
Just bought a dock from Best Buy today. Had the TF700 stickers over the TF201 sticker. But honestly people. This is the real dock. It even came with the new firmware. Nothing installed when i first the tablet into it and its up to date. Feels great to me. Fits perfect. The lock clicks fine. I think that we are chasing the REAL TF700 dock for nothing. If people had problems with it fitting, they must have had a defective dock or tablet. Even if the real dock does exist, I'm 100% happy with this dock. Everything seems to work. All the buttons work. What do you have to lose? Get it from Best Buy, stickers over stickers or not. If you hate it or have a problem, return it! Best Buy is good like that.
If it is not the same color it is Not the right dock. I don't care what sticker they put on it. Can you imagine buying a new car and having the dealer install a different hood that was last years model (but nothing has changed but the color) would yo be happy with that?

I don't really feel that I can compare this to a car. Because this dock being a slightly different color would not bother me one bit especially if it worked exactly the same. But of course a different color hood would.

There is no such thing as a "real" TF700 dock, other than the one with the stickers on the box.... It's been discussed to death already, but I truly believe that the docking part of the re-labeled TF700 dock is slightly different than the original TF201 dock. But other than that, it's really just the same dock and it works fine...

Good input. Does the machine tip over backwards when the screen is tilted fully backwards?
Yeah the balance issue is what concerned me as well -- I know they are functionally identical but if they really did relocate the battery to make it less prone to tipping over, that's something I want.
I can confirm that my TF700 does not "tip over" when tilted back all of the way... I have the dock that had the TF700 sticker over the TF201 designation...

I second this, its stable all the way back. Give it a push and it might fall, but its not going to fall on its own. I feel that its safe.

I can confirm this also. Just picked up the dock from Best Buy today. Had a sticker over the tf201, but that may be a miss print because the same label has TF-700T-DOCK-GR printed on it.

I got the dock from Best Buy. Had to order it twice, because they didn't sent the shampain gold color. It has a sticker that it is a TF700/TF201 Mobile Docking. The problem I have is that the tablet doesn't fit easily into the dock. I have to use some pressure for the lock to it in place. I owned TF300 before, and the tablet easily got into its place in the dock. So, I am thinking, that maybe I need to have the keyboard replaced. Has anyone have the same issues with the dock?
The "real TF700 dock" is the Asus Transformer Pad Mobile Dock with a sticker that says "Compatible with: TF700 Series/TF201.
there was a post here about the dock for the tf500 which is also called the TF700/tf500 dock. Rumored to be on sale very soon, and I think that some retailers were already putting up info on Amazon etc.
I have yet to see a single dock for the 700 that has the contours for the 700 fit exactly in the dock mechanism. Seems to me like they are all one curve like the 200 is, not angular like the 700 is.
There was a post kicking around about the internals being identical, battery life being different because of power draw by the beefier tablet is greater than the older one. For now the 200 dock is all we have, however its labled.
And to anyone that says they have a legit 700 dock, dock your tablet, look at the dock mech and see the gaps between the angle of the base of the tablet and the smooth curve of the dock mech. Congrats, you have a 200 dock. If yours is a perfect fit then pics or it didnt happen.
Cheers!

Best Buy ;]

I've been researching which tablet to buy and have been leaning heavily towards the TF700. Newegg has a combo with the TF300T KB/dock. Is the TF300T dock any better or worse than the TF500/700/201 or whatever dock? It has a 16W/h size battery according to the specs. And in the pictures it looks more blue rather then gray like the TF700...is that right? Should I bother looking for a different dock?
I can't post a link yet but it's Item#: N82E16834991741
is this the one that works for the infinity?

No, that is a TF300 dock.
I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a TF201 or (preffered) TF700T docking station for cheapish. (I know the dock is expensive and I'm using the "cheapish" term relatively, lol). Also if anyone has a dock they'd like to sell message me please.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I am going to buy an asus tf700t soon
But i have an important question: i've heard from some people that the digitizer can crack when closing with dock like a laptop, is this true?
If so has it already been fixed yet by asus or is it preventable in some way?
Regards,
Noahvt

I believe only applied to defective units, I have mine tf700 with tf201 doc since day one and not an issue.

when i heard this issue i was afraid to buy it!
but that's over now!
Mine is always docked, never had an issue.
There were some defective units floating around from Best Buy that had a plethora of problems that would put even EA Games to shame.
