[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
thanks for the most informative post in the thread so far.

from a quick google search it seems that the hd 4000 is extremely new (most reviews are from late april) and very capable for an integrated gpu and i have no doubt it would work awesomely while in tablet mode. for some reason i don't think that asus would put both the newest integrated gpu into the tablet AND a high end discrete gpu in the dock.. they did say the discete gpu would be from nvidia though so i hope i'm wrong and we get both the hd4000 and the 680m. i want the 680m in the 11 inch so bad but i don't know if they'll be able to do it in even the largest size book :o

splitting up the ssd and hdd might seem like a pain in the ass but i guess it makes sense if you want to have both an ssd for the os and hdd for other files.

oh well, i cant wait for more details. i'm ready to give asus my money if they can bring it all together.

apparently all the new intel ivy bridge cpus will have the hd 4000. so now we have to wait to see what discrete gpu they're going to put into the book.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
i checked out that hd 4000 also and it seemed to be on the low end, power wise. especially when compared to what Nvidia offers in same general class or whatever. Its decent though. I read Anandtech review on it. There are good things about it though. but as far as gaming goes, according to anandtech, it pushes a lil more than bare minimum fps on several high end popular games tested. Such as Battlefield 3 or Metro 2033. Asus just needs to go all out and include the best in tablet and in the dock. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
I honestly don't think Transformer Book is going after "video game" junkies as target audience. Due to the nature of Transformer Book's intended target audience, I doubt it'll be 680m (you have to realize atm.. only 1 Ultrabook based on Keplar based integrated GPU is out atm.. & that's even difficult to purchase due to the problems Nvidia is currently facing).

However, if it is 680m.... Transformer Book is going to be one expensive hardware to purchase...

For example, if this is any indication.. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0383643

Transformer Prime with 680m discrete GPU .... you are easily looking at price of $2k+ at launch. Not sure if Asus is willing or can really sell devices at $2k...even if they are going after a "niche" market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
every site i've seen is stating that the book will get a discrete nvidia gpu so now the only questions are which discrete gpu and where will it go (tablet or dock).

i'm a little worried about battery life if they put the discrete gpu in the tablet with a i7 cpu. i suspect the majority of the heavy lifting will be done while in notebook mode so to put the discrete gpu in the tablet at expense something so vital to a tablet such as battery life would be wasteful. however in one of the videos i saw the rep say the dock only has additional battery so at this point who knows? but i have no doubt that the hd 4000 will be enough while in tablet mode and i would much rather have the extra battery life if that's what it came down to.

i just hope the maxed out cpu+gpu version will be able to last as a desktop replacement for a few years.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
it will most likely be Fermi based GPU. probably in between 600 or 630m.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] morphiend:
what is the intended audience of an ultrabook? isn't it someone who wants the power of a desktop but the mobility of a notebook? everyone wants more power out of their computers so if asus can do it there will be someone who is willing to pay for it.

isn't the 680m smaller than the high end nvidia chips out right now? (28nm vs 40nm) wouldn't that increase the possibility that it can be put into the book? i really only started looking into notebooks when the book was announced so my knowledge on the subject is extremely limited.

it's not coming out tomorrow..at the earliest maybe october when windows 8 might come out but realistically we're probably looking at december or early 2013..so given 6-8 more months wouldn't that also increase the possibility of it getting into the book? heck by that time the 680 might not even be the highest end mobile gpu out there.

as far as price is concerned it's not an issue because it's not like they're saying "here's our product the tf book. it ONLY has i7, with ONLY the680m gpu and will cost 2000+ dollars."

it's customizable so if people on a budget only want the i5 with low end gpu they could get that. but if someone wants a maxed out i7 with 680m and are willing to pay 2000+ (i'm not saying i would instantly buy it but i'd consider it) then that would be great if the option were there for those people.

some people want barebones specs at a basement level price but business sense will tell you that companies will make more money per purchase off of someone who pays the premium and buys into the highest end line. as long as asus recognizes that and gives people the choice of getting the 680m then i'll be extremely happy. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. Yes, but Transformer Book isn't for video game enthusiasts. High-end GPU such as 680m are typically found in customized Ultrabooks for video game enthusiasts (ridiculous prices as well).

2. Sure, nothing is set in stone. Asus can very well include 680m if they want... although if they were to go with Kepler based.. I bet it'll be 640m. Kepler based GPUs are also poor when it comes to computing/performance task. Thus, if Transformer Book isn't trying to appeal to gamers.... 640m to 680m GPUs is basically useless (if the person doesn't play any games) or just a component included simply to raise the price of Transformer Book.

Also, 600m to 680m are all new discrete GPUs by Nvidia. 600m to 630m are Fermi based & 640m to 680m is Kepler based. Kepler based GPUs have been released since early this year, however... Nvidia is still having trouble with it =/ It's almost impossible to actually purchase them after half a yr at least since launch.

Re: TF Book config - Below post has prelim config/price data on upcoming Zenbook Prime line (latest crop w/ Ivy Bridge). It's analogous to TFB and is a good indicator. My guess is +$100 premium for TFB, plus another $100 for 1080p standard. Then, base 13.3 TFB sans hybrid HDD and no discrete gfx (620M) should be around $1200. HDD + 620M should kick it up close to $2K.

http://www.slashgear.com/asus-zenbook-primes-official-ivy-bridge-1080p-ips-22229356/

Engadget reports Zen UX21A (11.6 model) is 2.4lbs. TFB at 3lbs would be heavier. The extra weight would be accounted for by the dual batteries. Would like to see benchmark of TFB while in tablet mode.

Anandtech has teardown of UX21A below. Would be interesting to contrast it to one of TFB when that happens. My focus is on wifi module and antenna construction. UX21A has dual ants connected to Intel 6235 2x2 solution (dual-band). It would be very disappointing if the TFB is stuck with a 1x1 solution, or if it is limited to 2.4GHz, as has been the case for all tablets to date.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5887/asus-zenbook-prime-ux21a-teardown

Asus is the first to claim a draft-802.11ac client in a production model, so let's hope that it can confer some of its wireless acumen to its tablet models.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
has anyone seen the new Asus Transformer AiO? its their new 18.4 in. Android/Win8/intel/Arm Tablet/all in one PC. that thing is huge. saw some hands on videos of it. i believe when its docked it uses the intel chip and can run windows. when undocked, tablet mode, it will use the arm soc and run android. not sure if it can run windows in tablet mode also. no word on resolution or exactly which arm soc it uses. likely tegra 3. its very cool and according to specs its pretty light. but it looks funny when people holding it cuz its so huge. Asus is claiming the worlds largest tablet now. Asus is pulling out all the stops releasing so many different new tablet devices, whether android based, windows, or both.

the docking station looked cool also and had tons of ports. like 4 usb ports on dock itself. dock looks more like a tv stand since AiO looks like a dang flatscreen t.v. I wouldnt mind having one of those.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blucmal:
Definately looking at this :cyclops: wondering if dock has usb ports also tablet pricing and release date ? Be cool if someone can modify the bootloader on this and get android running in dual boot :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shagkie:
For me I'll drop Android like lava rock when win8 tab-top comes out. Great that you can use it as a tablet but still able to do development on it like a laptop. Yes the Prime have a dock keyboard but it's not really a platform for development like the windows platform :fingers-crossed:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DeKubus:
Windows RT != x86. You won't be able to develop anything, as you can't run any IDE that isn't compiled for RT. That is also my major concern with the platform: you have hardly any apps yet. It is the same problem that cripples Blackberrys. You just don't have the infrastructure to back up your device, however sleek and awesome it might be. Establishing a new platform will take time, so even if I decide to jump ships I highly doubt it will be during the next two years.

Btw, did you try AIDE? There is a trial available, you can check it out for free and then decide if it suits your developing needs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I still dont see the point. Win8 x86 devices are specced pretty low for x86. I still think battery life will kinda suck (we just dont know yet :) ) and most stuff that we want to run on these kind of systems wont run anyway. Intense 3d Games = no way. Also big content creator software (adobe stuff) will probably be kinda slow and laggy on that hardware i guess..

Office will be great though. But Softmaker just released their office packet for android, and i have to say its really great. Not many features are missing compared to MSOffice.

And lets be honest if you once used an android tablet with gesture control - there is nothing else. *swipe*

WinRT: I dont see any reason to get one of these.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chapell:
Yeah, maybe the Vivo Tab will get an Atom processor, but there will be Win8 tablets with i5 CPUs too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blarok:
There ARE tablets with i3 - i5 cpu... but what do you want to do with that? Use it 30 minutes till the battery is empty? In first i didnt think the cpu would make SUCH a difference, but then i held a Samsung Slate 7 in my hands (with Win 8 Preview), and it really sucked!

Not the performance at all (well, 1,3GHz seems kinda outdated since the quadcore arm cpu's are out, but its x86...), the win 8 was great (but i prefer android cause i got used to it), but the battery life was horrible!!!

I bet even the new asus transformer book will NEVER EVER come up with the batterylife of the prime, and that even if you would only watch a film on it while playing games 'n stuff on the Prime...

The longer i think about it, the more it becomes a question of the battery technology we use...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blucmal:
IMO option windows 8 rt is where its at for portability and battery life which is what I will be getting :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
vivo tab with win8 is using latest atom processor & screensize is 11.6in. Rt version using tegra3 & 10.1in. both will have bt 4.0 I beliwve. specs are listed on asus website. They already advertising it. I think these tablets are about to release anyday now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Anyday? Are you back on promoting/hyping Asus products again?

Btw, W8 launches on Oct. 26th..... and all W8 products will release on Octo 26th or shortly after. As in, launch date for these W8 devices are already set. It isn't "will release anyday now". Oh yea, good bet that Asus is using crap eMMC storage like their other products to reduce the cost.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that date you said falls into "anyday now" LOL ;)

W8 is supposed to be productivity and multitasking driven. both versions will have 2 gigs of ram. they good on that front. but if they use same internal storage as prime, there might be problems. only hope is those win8 drivers & software are better than old android ones used on prime, infinity pad, & 300. If exact same memory, it might perform better on windows. we wont know until releases.

Ill admit, asus advertising for vivo pad on thier site is good. it has me interested. but ill likely check out Ms surface. especially if it releases for rumored 200 dollars.

On another note, I wonder if apple gonna shake things up again by announcing Ipad mini. also wondering what size iphone5 will be and its specs.

Apple search just turned up iphone5 & it will have Lte connectivity. Samsung already publically stated they going to sue apple for patent infringing on lte. As Sammy owns the largest share of those patents. They want a saLES ban on it immediately. Could include Ipad mini if it has lte connectivity also. I hope Sammy and moto successful in suing them and stopping sales.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
No, iPad mini will have its own launch event next month. So... for today.. it will mostly be about iPhone 5 & release of iOS 6 to the public.

As for iPhone 5... not that impressive at all. It does look slick ... but, its slightly tweaked & just enhanced version of iPhone 4S. Specs aren't impressive either... especially on the display front...

The new version of Apple's Retina panel is 1136 x 640, which clocks in at a more than respectable 326ppi.

Not at all impressed, but it's going to kill any Android phone .......

W700 in real life

I've been using the w700 i3 with 4000 graphics for a month. I also have a transformer tf101 and a transformer infinity and a nexus 7 and an Ipad3. Some comments about real life usage:

- The w700 comes with a bluetooth keyboard, dock and case.

- The battery life is unreal, I get 8-9 hours. Reason enough to go with this over the Surface Pro.

- The screen is Full HD and beautiful

- IE is IE, I don't have compatibility issues (I also use Chrome on the device)

- There seem to be variants across continents. The US version should have the latest generation i3/i5 and 4000 HD graphics.

- I run full office professional plus, photoshop with a ton of filters working on large images from a Sony a65 (24.3 mp) dslr and it's plenty fast, I have been using it out of choice over my HP Envy 15 with a Sandybridge i7.

- Bash windows all you want, the w700 experience is better than the Infinity IMO. An i3 is still a powerful chip. Win8 and the metro interface is silky smooth.

- As for gaming, some of the titles in the windows store look way better than the best titles on Android (Toy Soldiers Touch Edition is unreal)

- i can run full Windows games at acceptable framerates, and can lower resoluion ala what you have always been able to do on Windows

- all peripherals, including usb cell modems etc work through USB 3.0 (Infinity is 2.0)

- Bluestacks works great, I run Sony Reader and Google Books along with others as BS apps, page turns are just like the Infinity

- I had a tv tuner card, Windows Media Center works very well with it

I'm no Microsoft fanboy, and I've run most OS's out there. I got this because I travel as a consultant and got sick of the weight and bulk of my 15".

I use a wedge keyboard and mouse, but the on screen works very well too.

Sample (personal) workflow: take 3 bracketed shots on Sony, throw sd into reader into w700 USB, use Photomatix HDR, add some Photoshop, using 4g hotspot, upload to Facebook, Picasa, etc. The big piece missing with Android was Photomatix and Photoshop.

Cons on this thing:

- I have read Acer is throttling the i5 turboboost. With continuous voltage the i3 is just as fast.

- I can't do VMWare or some of the stuff I do on my i7 monster, i've taken to connecting remotely if I need that sort of thing

- No SD slot

- One usb slot on device (3 on dock)

- a little heavy for ebooks, rather read on my nexus 7, but I've been using it as a reader and it looks good

- the ssd was small, I am replacing the 64 gb with a 256gb msata

Overall, the w700 is working really well for me.

I have varying problems with my Omnia 7, will any of the homebrew Roms on here help me?

Sometimes it cant decide whether to be on 3G or GPRS and will just refuse to connect to either and my works phone will have full signal on the same network!

Sometimes it says there's no sim card in it but turning Flight mode on and off fixes this.

People try and ring and the phone doesnt ring but then I get a text saying I have a new voicemail and the phone has service?

The phone is a T-Mobile UK Operator Unlocked phone running on an o2 sim card running 7.10.8107.79 (with no branding) which it got through a Zune update.

Is there also an easy way to see if its fully unlocked? ie to install .xaps onto it?

Hi guys,

I recently bought a chinese 7" tablet, it's pretty good, runs ICS but it has a china - made OS with a lot of pre-installed chinese apps, chinese keyboard and stuff that i can't remove.

The tablet has:

CPU: Telechips TCC8923, 1.2GHz, Cortex-A5 Dual Core;

GPU: Mali-400 MP

Operation System	Android 4.0.3

Is there any clean, naked, basic ICS rom over here which i can use on it? Or anything else that doesn't have chinese stuff on it...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
After much Googleing I found a solution that most people are having when it comes to making games (like Shadowgun and Gameloft Games) "detect" the external card that way you can keep the huge game files on your external and keep internal tidy. I did not get a chance to test it on our devices because mine is having some problems and I'm trying to fix it but I don't see we would have an problems as people in that forum claim it works on ICS. Either way, it is worth a shot until we find a solution to this problem.

It's an app made by an XDA member, Slig and the thread/appcan be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

The only downside to the app is that you have to "mount" the data before launching the game, but IMO, it's a small price to pay to not fill up your internal storage with three games.

What follows is the original thread by slig.

Hey guys,

Hope someone can guide me with this one.

My DHD was rooted and flashed with many custom ROMs before, just this time when i wanted to try out another new ROMs, and in the middle of flashing the roms, the battery seems had disconnected and the device was off.

i was lucky enough to restore back to the downgrade version, by flashing back the PD98IMG file on my SD card. However, when i want to flash with custom roms again, it fails.

First i used the ROM manager but it won't flash the recovery since don't have any superuser permission as it stated that my rom is not rooted, then i go for Visionary, i ran the apk file, it said that "Application not installed"

i tried a few methods below but none of them works.

1.Use ADB platform to manually flash recovery.img (adb flash recovery recovery.img), but nothing happen in the bootloader.

2.put the recovery.img in a PD98IMG.zip file (file not recognized)

3.reinstall visionary.apk a few times after reboot also the same result.

Any helps in getting superuser authority? or flash recovery? or maybe help fixed the "Application not installed" problem? Thanks in advance.
