32GB ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T 10.1" Tablet + Keyboard Docking Station (blue) $360 + Free Shipping

Quote from chancy319 : Which is better? This or the Nexus 10?

Nexus 10, but keep in mind that it you are paying more for it. Also that the N10 does not have the keyboard dock option nor a microSD slot.

hmmm can't decide

Quote from mjv5864 : I got the 32GB red from BB for $284 plus tax. I returned it due to the screen lag.

Wow. I have never had screen lag. I have never had the screen crack. It looks great. This is a great deal, and about $100 less than I paid for the combo. Just buy it.

Edit: reading further, I now see the issue is explained as browser lag. I have experienced that, but nothing horrible. I get the same issue on my netbook. I think some folks are being picky. I am still on ICS because I have not gotten the nerve up yet to address the Flash issue when I upgrade.

The nexus 10, but that is also considerably more expensive .A good price on this is $250, and that is what the going price will be in a month. the Nexus 10 is $400.

It's not being picky. Its that products in this price range are available that don't have screen lag. The web browsing experience on an iPad 2 is superior, and can be snagged for cheaper.

^ try putting a microSD in that.

Thumbs up to the deal but remember that
TF700 and TF300 has the nasty slow storage write/read speeds, this will make you pull your hair.
Has a fast processor but the storage kill it.

Now for 399, the Nexus 10 is a beast on that department. I tell u bc I have it and tried TF700 and 300.

Nexus 7 has slow i/o speed but not as bad as the TF series.

Thanks

Wow you are right. I was just playing with the Asus tf300 that me mum has and there is a considerable amount of lag with the screen. It's not just the internet browser it seems. Even the settings menu seems to take forever.

I own both tf300t 32gb and an ipad 3 16gb and bought it for the same price. The tf300t's browser lags compared to the smooth ipad 3, but for the specs it owns the > ipad 3. The way to get rid of the browser lag is by rooting the tf300t and overclocking it/installing a custom rom. The ipad 3 is way smoother and user friendly but it was limited to 16gb. I already have 5gigs remaining. For the price point I would choose the tf300t and root it, or you can have both worlds.

Quote from bru_that : Because nearly every other android tablet has 1GB of RAM - the Nexus 10 and Galaxy Note 10.1 being the only tabs with 2GB. The TF300 is intended as a mid/upper-mid range tablet, not to compete with those models (if anything, ASUS not putting 2GB in the TF700 is a bigger deal).

Warning... a slight thread jack here....

Holy smokes! I hadn't heard about the new Archos tablets and just noted they are releasing a quad-core, 2GB, IPS screen with dual speakers tabby for $199!

That's a pretty awesome price. I have the Archos G9 80 (which is a dual core 8" with a TFT screen and built-in GPS). The only thing I don't like about the G9 is the crappy screen angles. There's an awesome community for the G9 and Archos is still supporting it with updates. The G9 right now goes for $200 so I'm stunned that their next Gen release replacement for the G9 is the same cost for a much better CPU, GPU and screen. Thanks for noting that. Repped.

if you've exprience with buttery smooth devices with no lag whatsoever, it becomes really, really annoying. the whole point of companies releasing new beefed devices is to make the user experience better, smoother and faster. this thing LAGS.

Let's agree to disagree. And if you buy an iPad 2, well, then you have an iPad. Who wants that??? Also, what Android device with a keyboard can be purchased for $360 that doesn't have this browser lag of which you speak?

I see your preference is for iPads. Do you own one of these Asus combos also? Did your iPad come with a keyboard, and were the 2 of them together $360? Hell, didn't that iPad by itself set you back way more than $360? I would try to keep things in perspective.

The UPS driver is about to deliver my red Asus from BB for $300 and I was already looking from where I can Get an Ipad 3 for $300.

I've had the TF700 Transformer for over 6 months now. It lags like crazy. Once it's finished loading or doing whatever is causing it to lag, then it becomes pretty nice. I believe downloading large files from WIFI and using the tablet is next to impossible as everything is unresponsive. I still prefer it over the iPad because it will play anything you throw at it through "drag and drop" in explorer. I will never use iTunes again. Make an iPad with "drag and drop" and I'll buy it. Are there any good android tablets that don't lag?
