32GB Asus EeePad Transformer Infinity TF700T-B1-GR @ $449.99 FS w/$25 KickBack (or NoTaxOption)

hrmm, *Prime or Note 10.1? decisions decisions...

Infinity as noted below...

what about Nexus 10?

I like the idea of expandable storage. videos, music, etc, can take up space fast.
I like the idea of the keyboard dock. 90% of what I use my laptop for can be done on a tablet, and a keyboard would make it much easier for that stuff.

as far as I can tell the TF700 is much faster and has better battery life under general use as well.

Do I need a screen as fancy as the Nexus 10? no, and I've read very good things about the TF700 screen.
Do I need the extra 1GB of RAM? it would be nice, but probably not from what I've read.

That said, I can't really think of why I'd want the Note 10.1 over the TF700, I guess I'm waiting for someone to make a good argument for it over the TF700 (or the Nexus 10 other than the expandable storage issue)

Also, I just googled and apparently it is possible to run Ubuntu on the TF700, which gives it another bump for me...

Great side by side review

Wow, that is a great price. Still loving my Tf300t but am watching the market get flooded with deals for it and know it's losing value faster than I'd hoped.

this is the infinity not prime, awesome tablet.

For what its worth it was on Amazon and couple other places for $428, a few day ago.

sadly, you're right! would have been nice had I noticed...

Ebay [ebay.com] has it for $435 F/S.

I bought the TF700 from Amazon after doing quite a bit of research on tablets and am extremely happy with it. I love the ability to control my work desktop remotely from the tablet and the battery life with the keyboard dock is excellent. I like how the tablet charges off the dock and have never yet run into a situation where I needed to max out the brightness. I tinker with photography and love the usb and sd card slots on the dock. When I insert the sd card the photos load quickly and thumbnails are displayed in a row at the bottom of the screen for a really nice preview and easy selection. I really can't think of a single thing I have been disapointed in with the tablet. One thing I will definitely recommend is a touch screen stylus to keep fingerprints down.

This is the stylus I use and absolutely love it:

If it wasn't for the Samsung ATIV 500T, I'd probably get the TF700 combo. It was between desktop productivity in tablet form vs entertainment tablet. I do wonder which is the better companion for photography, for example, would either candidate be good for tethering photos.
