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

Both?

Pulled the trigger on the Asus TF700 ($459) and Galaxy Note 10.1 ($449) from J&R. With Discover cashback promos going on, I think that amounts to 12% I should get back.

I read J&R has a price-matching policy that seems to be pretty good. I'm not sure how long after the purchase they'll honor it but right now the cheapest 32gb Asus is ($449). Let's say in a week or two, the price for either one of these tablets drops like $30 or so.

If I try to price match, will that void the Discover cashback? I read somewhere that even contacting customer service, let alone changing the order, will prevent Discover from issuing anything.


Your thoughts?

Here's an idea. Just ask the CSR to issue the difference as a store credit. They shouldn't have a problem with satisfying such a request. After that is done, ask to convert it into a gift card for Amazon or whatever, if at all possible. (???)

Higher resolution seems to come at a cost. Numerous reviews suggest that the Nexus 10 screen, while looking great, may give up some color accuracy, overall lag, and brightness to the Infinity.

Really? You are going to quote engadget? You know engadget is run by a bunch of farckin apple fantards right? Anything that doesn't have a fruity logo is going to get severely criticized by that website. Try other sites instead.

Very true. Repped for capturing my feelings in a nutshell. I've totally disagreed with their "reviews" of the latest tech gadgets on more than one occasion.

However, it is a good site to keep updated on tech news.

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:

Even tho, you don't need it, repped ya back.

Just spreading the message that engadget is run by a bunch of farkin apple fantards!

I am reading other sites instead.

this is the best deal for the Infinity??? i guess i have to hold out a bit :/

Yeah, I was disappointed in BF2012 Infinity offers as well. I read somewhere that, supposedly, these units (TF300T, TF700T) will drop substantially during the 1st quarter of 2013 as Asus begins phasing them out to usher in new models. Not sure from what source I gathered such "news" so please do your own DD.

Now that my TF101 is now out-of-warranty, I will be rooting it and installing one of the ROMs available for it while pining away some more for a TF700T or other.
