[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I bought a dock and I have been in contact with the seller and this is what I got about the new dock.

Just got 3 emails from "icasecare" I just pasted them all together.

1st/ Dear eroc162,

We have contacted our vendor and confirmed that this dock is for TF700T specifically. We do not know why Asus put TF201 mobile docking as the title on the label at the back, but it does say this dock is compatible with TF700 and TF201 Tablets.

On the official website of Asus, it says "The Transformer Pad Infinity mobile dock is also compatible with Eee Pad Transformer Prime, which is TF201,but the Prime mobile dock (TF201) is not compatible with Transformer Infinity TF700". In reality, we do see some users mentioned that TF201 Dock works fine with TF700 tablet but with minor design difference.

In your case, we can only offer $20 partial refund as the cost for us to get from Asus is higher than TF201 mobile dock. This is the best we can do or we will let you reject the shipment.

2nd/ The UPC code on our inventory is same as the one on Bestbuy's website.

3rd/ There is no description outside the package mentioned what is included in the box. (He is referring to a charger I read about that was suppose to come with the TF700 Dock)

As all of them are sealed, we are unable to open the box and check inside.

We will issue partial refund once you receive the item.

Thank you for your business.

I'm going to see if the edge is rounded off or tapered like the infinity. That's the only way I think there might be a visual difference.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
The fact that the doc may have undergone changes beyond firmware is really speculations.

The listing of the different docks and diff tabs all list different battery specs so this may simply be due to each tablet charging with different efficiencys off the battery in the dock. Atleast it's a theory. After all, the capacity of the battery in doc is not of relevance unless you take into account the charge-efficiency and it may be different.

On another note:

I'd wished they've upgraded the usb to 3.0 but the specs say 2.0. Too bad.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
This particular video shows the tablet and keyboard combined inside the SAME box. Now, I have a TF201 dock in hand and the only difference I can see between the one I have the the one in the video is the sticker. And its more likely because I'm in the U.S. and the video takes place in the U.K.

You never see a box for the keyboard (like in other videos) however,

1. When the video shows the pack of user manuals, they show the exact manual that came with my TF201 Keyboard. In fact, it even says "Transformer Prime" on the manual in the video and has the same model number "E6836" as the one in the TF201 box.

2. In every place where the video shows a feature or detailed angle of the keyboard, it looks identical in every way to the one I have.

While there is no way to compare the internal aspects of the two docks, the identical outward appearance, and the fact it has the same model number... tells me it is the same keyboard. If ASUS is now selling a redesigned TF700 keyboard, this video (and MANY others) show they have sold the TF700 tablet with the TF201 keyboard together in the U.K. (and other countries) Translation: They are bidirectionally compatible.

The claim on their website has to be a ploy to get people to buy the new $149 keyboard rather than the $99 keyboard setting on shelves at Best Buy. We all know how awful their marketing department has been throughout the entire TF700 launch, do you really think a little white lie is beyond possible?

Fed up of waiting for the Infinity I bought a NX7 16gb.

Have to say that I am very happy with it, not entirely sure I'm gonna get an infinity now. Might just wait for the Tegra 4 tablets next spring.

Maybe Asus sent out a bunch of sticker to throw on the TF201 boxes. So I just sent $170 on a TF201 dock. Nice lol.

[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
I got my anti-glare crystal clear screen from DealExtreme today!

It was designed for TF201 and fits perfectly on the tf700t !

For those wondering, the SKU is 132034 and it's only $4.70!

I ordered two in case they got bent and I think that actually saved it as it made em ship two standard cardboard sleeves with a screen in each stacked. They did not add any extra stiffening so without the second one stiffening up the package it would have been trashed for sure. Almost so I should have ordered 3 as it came a tiny bit dented. It applied nicely though and only the bottom edge and a tad around the camera and light sensor etc.

Attached is pics with it off and in IPS+ mode as well as a shot from the microscope showing the crystal clear effect so you can compare to my old one with the regular low-rez matte screen.
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
Are both the microscope shots with the new screen protector or is one with the old one and one with the new one? They look a bit different to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] carolek:
I'm pretty sure they put the new dock into the old tf201 boxes. Here's why, I have a launch date TF201 Dock that came with my prime at launch time. I now have the new dock that was sold as the tf700-dock but with the box and sticker on the device showing tf201. I for one am certain they are not identical devices, although at first glance you would think so. Here's why.

1) They are different colors. Not obviously so, and the camera on my phone isn't able to show it very well, but they are different to every human I've shown them to.

2) They have a slightly different profile. When I set them next to each other with the hinge in the closed position the edge near the hinge is nearly flush, but they have a different angle, so the new dock is slightly taller near the mouse pad.

3) They weigh 3 grams different from each other.

The prime does work in the new dock, but since the tablet is coming ups today, I haven't tried the infinity in the old dock, and not sure I want to, since they are noticably different when you have them both physically. I can see how you would think they are identical if you didn't have two to hold next to each other.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
Regardless of legit or not €599 and NO dock is just CRAZY money! I for one will not be paying it!!

Cheers,

[Asus Transformer TF700] tomatpasser:
Agreed. It seems a bit steep compared to the prime.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
Steep does not come close for me......my Prime that I subsequently sent back ended up costing €663 from Amazon in the UK but that had the dock....God only knows what I will have to pay for the Infitnity with the dock.....€750 or €800???

Cheers,

M
[Asus Transformer TF700] TEmp69:
The 64GB version from the current Prime is already 599€ without the dock.

Sometimes a company will release a product not to make money, but to build on its brand image. Neither the Prime nor the Infinity is a high-volume product. And given all the Prime's travails, it's a reasonable bet that Asus isn't making much if any profit on it. It's also reasonable to expect that Infinity won't make much headway against the cheaper iPad 3. Ditto for the PadFone.

Asus wants to move up in the public awareness as a design-centric vendor, like HTC/Samsung, and away from the cookie-cutter mold that typifies many Asian PC companies. The Transformer/PadFone is a conscious attempt to do that. That's why the "artsy" teaser videos. That's why Asus showed its wares at the Milan Design Week, which is another name for Milan Furniture Fair, catering to fashion in interior design. That's not a usual venue to display tech wares.

The execution hasn't met its goal. The Prime, for all of its shiny exterior, has many of the same quality issues that are indicative of low-end products. The integrated KB/battery dock isn't that innovative, and neither will it be exclusive, as several such hybrids will appear for the Win8 launch. But it's a first step toward the endpoint, which is to be like Apple. That's every tech company's dream.

If the above holds true, then Infinity should also show up in US for same price point ($600 for 64GB). It's not competitive with iPad and it won't sell very many, but that's not the point. The point is to say: We can make cool products, just like (or almost like) Apple.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mark.m.moran:
Well said and makes a whole lot of sense ;-)
[Asus Transformer TF700] undercover:
Whatever their goal was they still cocked up big time. And continue doing so with the dongle for "everyone" as long as that everyone is in the selected country.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buxtahuda:
I thought the Infinity wasn't coming in a 64 GB? I admit I haven't been keeping up with it like I did the Prime, since I have so much awesome already :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] e.mote:
>I thought the Infinity wasn't coming in a 64 GB?

That's the report from the Italian sites; Infinity was intro'ed in Milan a couple days ago.

It makes sense that Asus would go for 64GB config, as that allows it to keep the €600 price point and still make the case that Inf has "more value" than 64GB iPad (€679 in Apple Store Italy). It's a hard sell, but a hard sell is better than no sell.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
32GB + Dock for €600 -> I would buy this.

64GB and no Dock for €600 -> I would definitely not buy this.

The big selling point of the Transformer is the fact that it can Transform. As such, I really think they should make their main product the 32GB one including the dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buxtahuda:
Lol, I would and did :D in USD anyway, it's kind of cool they keep the prices looking similar but weird that the price is effectively different depending on area and the value of its currency.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tommedema:
Have we heard anything about when the 32GB + Dock version will release in Europe (Holland for me) and for what price?
[Asus Transformer TF700] romup:
the 1g memory is to low~！
[Asus Transformer TF700] buxtahuda:
What? Point me to an Android device with more?

Really, for something like Anroid, 1 GB RAM is fine, 2 GB would be cool/fun but would go mostly unused. For now anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] newellj79:
I don't have a link and could be mistaken but I thought the upcoming lenovo transformer type tablet was shipping with 2gb ram.
[Asus Transformer TF700] e.mote:
>I thought the upcoming lenovo transformer type tablet was shipping with 2gb ram.

Old rumor which didn't pan out. With Pad 3, nowaday you can't have a high-end Android tab without at least a 1080p screen. For $500 or less.

[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
What is a possibility is that the new infinity pad Ram could be changed from ddr2 to ddr3 like in the 300. Asus specs comparison sheets showed infinity pad as having 1Gb of ddr2 ram. But I just recently saw a 3rd party seller have ddr3 I'm the specs for infinity pad. Alot of times these vendors get their specs wrong so its possible they were wrong. But I wouldn't see why Asus would not just include ddr3 in the Infinity pad. It would only help it and be another reason to command the higher price point. Make it seem like more of an upgrade to prime versus just a higher resolution screen and higher flickers tegra3/different tegra3 version(T33).

If i was one of the people waiting on infinity pad, I would hope Asus upgrade the Ram to DDR3 type instead.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Evergreen74:

Acer A510

What do you guys think of the Acer A510 that has just been released vs. these 2 soon to be released Asus Infinity pads? I am no pad expert, but it seems to me that this A510 is pretty much an Infinity pad with less screen resolution? I have a Xoom now and am looking to upgrade.
[Asus Transformer TF700] demandarin:
Get a prime ;) Acer specs are good but it has no support. Acer is known for taking their time updating devices. Then xda support is basically non existent. Asus tablets are very well supported by the company and by developers here in xda. Since you are a member here in xda, you should know already that support is crucial. Whether from the company itself or from xda developers.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Theshawty:
I chose to once again cancel the order (this time from Ebay and the seller BuySpry gave me full refund)

I'll look into buying a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. Older, yeah, but it's my first tab and I'll probably experiment with it much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Yes, it`s just a matter of focus.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
My cousin owns the tab 2. After he saw my Infinity he is sooooo bummed. He wished he waited to make his purchase. Yeah, the guy had 4 weeks to wait...to get the Asus....but is an instant gratification guy when he wants something.....he can't wait at all.

Suffice to say, he is beyond his 30 days and is stuck with it. He even went as far to ask me if he can switch tabs with me for a few days. I laughed at him and told him that's why patience is a virtue....lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] NickS VR4:
Talk about patience, I assume there are many like myself that held off on the prime because this tablet was announced shortly after the primes release. Worth the wait IMO because this thing is awesome.
[Asus Transformer TF700] calypsoSA:
Any updates on the 3G version, things have gotten quiet that side.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Hmmm... There is a sticker on the back of the dock (see picture on page 338) does it say TF201 or TF700?
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:

There's no such thing as TF700 mobile dock, at least not yet.

Do you see Asus officially releasing it? (No)
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
I'm not sure. Maybe someone should contact them and ask...
[Asus Transformer TF700] blauciel:
Not true. It's still labeled the TF700, and there ARE differences; they are minor, but they are differences nonetheless. But they both work.

My new TF700T (Gray, 32GB) came today, and this one is PRIMO, yay! As McDonald's would say "I'm loving it!" :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] Underwater Mike:
Is it the Prime-style gray with a lot of purple, or is it the newer gray with less purple?

I am really on the fence about waiting for the champagne (and, hopefully, working out some of the early production bugs), versus abandoning all hope and just ordering a gray one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Well, it looks pretty gray to me, but I never owned the Prime so I can't really say on that. I like it anyway. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
Does the TF700 has similar wifi issues as the Prime? The reason for asking is that I got my TF700 couple days ago and I finally opened it and tested it against TF300 on SpeedTest app, TF300 always showed much higher download speeds compared to TF700 (uploads were about same). Both tablets were sitting side by side, couple of feet away from the router.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KilerG:
The TF300 is all plastic, so it'll probably get better wifi statistics than something like the TF700, which is mostly aluminum.
[Asus Transformer TF700] californiarailroader:
Hopefully the Plastic strip at the top helps for WiFi like it does for GPS, funny how something so simple can make or break a device :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] msalvini:
I have not had any of the wifi issue I experienced with the Prime. The Wifi on the prime is the number one reason I returned it. I was waiting for a fix to come before purchasing it again and there was apparently no fix. Glad Asus finally released the Infinity. I have no issues with Wifi. I have been on many different networks and have had a good connection on each one and have had no drops.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Using the wifi alone its great. But trying to use my jambox or bluetooth earphones it slows down just like my prime did. Its to a point Netflix it any other movies won't play. I'm waiting for a response from asus. Maybe my infinity is defective. There are a couple of others with the same problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
By the way, I'm having a lot of browser lockup things even with the latest patch both in stock and dolphin browser and I thought maby it was flash or javascript so I disabled both.

I'm not sure which one was to blame but my browsing experience on xda forum and web papers are now smooth and once it loads a page it can be scolled smoothly instead of stopping 2-3 times on a long page. Much better user experience now. Feels smooth!

If ppl can experiment a bit we can find what causes it. I can't really seem to nail it down, so I disabled both.

(In dolphin it's under settings and web content.)

tf300 or infinity

Hey,

for a while I have been waiting to purchase the asus tf700, it is obviously the best tablet out there, especially once it gets jellybean and project butter works its magic. However, in the UK, it will release on August 31st, 64gb only, dock bundled for £599. Whilst the tf300 is £399 32gb and I can buy it now (in time for holiday). I only ever was going to go for the tf700, but now the tf300 looks reasonable, plus I can go ahead and buy a 64gb micro sd (convert to NTFS) and bump the memory.

In short, what would you do? Moreover, is the tf300's screen sufficient?

Regards

PS-could I overclock the tegra 3 via a rom-of the tf300?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Thats a question you should pose to the 300T forums. Where you would actually find people who own it.

I've seen people fall in love with th screen and swear never to go back. So the question is.....how much does having an HD screen matter to you? How much does build quality matter? Having better Ram and a faster proccessor?

All that has to be put into the equation. Worth an extra $100 bucks? If you can't wait...order the 300 and exchange it for the 700 within 30 days. That will take you to the end of August. Surely the unit should be in by then..
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
I had to deal with similar dilema recently. I've had TF300 for few weeks and really like it so even after getting TF700 I did not open it for couple of days because I wasn't sure if it is worth it or not but last night I finally gave in and opened it. Comparing side by side, T700 just blows away TF300 in all aspects (especially the display). Even if you don't do a side by side comparision you can imediately see the display improvement due to increased resolution. Icons looks a lot more detailed and 1080p videos also look better on T700 compared to T300. Color are more saturated and IPS+ is an added bouns as well (though I never used it on Prime)

The only thing that TF300 seems to do better than TF700 is the wifi connection. I ran several tests using SpeedTest app with both tablets on the table side by side about two feet away from the router and TF300 consistantly gave higher download speeds than TF700.

Also, as a personal preference, I like the build of TF300 more than TF700 because TF700 seems too fragile and even just putting it on the table feels like its gonna get scratched. On the other hand TF300 seems rough and tough.

Is the original anti glare(belkin one) better than the one from dealextreme?It seems from the photos that the belkin one has much better brightness and overall clarity.Just wanted to know if the difference was only due to differences with the lighting or if there is a difference in quality!:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
The belkin was far inferior.

It was all gray this one is all clear. Image is sharper and cleaner as well as not riddled with "snow" from pixels being focused oddly by the goarse pits in the matte layer. The density of the matte latyer is higher in the DX one making the screen keep it's high density.

I'll take a pic later with same distance as I did on the other screen for comparison.
