I really like your set of classes, although the Beauty thing feels pretty unnerving ;>

And yes, SuperNote is bundled, as well as many other apps. See some reviews on YouTube or on the tech websites, many of them mentioned it already.

I cannot help you with the docking options, as I only got to use the TF201 one. If I had an option to choose, I would prefer to lay my hands on both IRL. It's a very personal thing, so I don't think that the reviews can answer it for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Gruftikus:
When sliding my tablet into the (bundled prime-)dock, the lock only jumps back to the middle position and has to be manually moved to the right/lock-position. I have read that this may be an issue with defunct docks and that these should be returned. Is that true? Or are all old prime docks "affected", making a return superfluous?

So far, it doesn't bother me too much, but I just want to make sure everything works as planned.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I think it's just the slight difference in size between the Prime and the Infinity. I've also observed this on my Prime dock + Infinity tablet bundle, sometime it clicks, sometime it's stuck half-way, but the tablet is docked normally, so it's only the lock/slider that has to be adjusted. For me certainly not a flaw which would justify returning it. But if you hope for a TF700 dock in return, you can try (possibly with more luck in a few weeks, when the latter is widely available?)
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeartWare42:
I've just bought a TF700 pad and it works fine with my TF201 docking station. I haven't noticed any inconsistency in colours or size (but then again, I'm not the kind of person for which that matters - as long as it works, it could be in Yellow and Green colours for all I care).

However, I have noticed one curious thing, that I would like some input on. I had bought a 64 Gb MicroSD card ( amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-microSDXC-Adapter-SDSDQUA-064G-U46A/dp/B007WTAJTO/ref=sr_1_4 ), and it works perfectly in my Asus Eed Pad Transformer Prime TF201 pad, but I am unable to make it work in the TF700 pad.

I have tried formatting it to FAT32, exFAT and NTFS with variying cluster sizes, and when I insert it into the TF700 pad, the "Preparing external storage" message flashes on the screen for a very brief instant, and then nothing - no card is available.

That surprised me quite a bit, as I expected the hardware support to be the same in the TF700 as in the TF201, but it seems like there is a different USB hardware part in the TF700 than in the TF201.

My 128 Gb SD Card ( amazon.com/Sandisk-Extreme-Memory-45MBps-Speeds/dp/B006ZH1WVS/ref=sr_1_1 ) in the docking station (formatted to FAT32) works with both pads connected (which was expected, as the hardware is the same in this instance).

Does anyone have success with a 64 Gb MicroSD card in the TF700 pad? If so, which one is it, and how is the card formatted?

I would also like to know this!
[Asus Transformer TF700] tpmullan:
That is what I bought today
[Asus Transformer TF700] reluttr:
I just realized something... one of the biggest gripes with the Prime was that it was rather top heavy in the dock. Since the new dock is lighter wont it only make this problem worse?
[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
Anyone know where you can buy the Prime dock with a UK keyboard? Or isn't there a dedicated UK keyboard at all?

Baught the grey 201 dock at best buy for 99 bucks last night to see how it works with my grey 700 coming tomorrow. If it's not right i'll just return it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I ordered a tf700 and I wondering if the dock comes with its own charger. An extra charger would be nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] oo3:
FYI the TF201 dock is on sale at Best Buy for 99.99 right now. Beats paying 159.99 for the official TF700 dock.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...218459198234&skuId=4175048&st=TF201&cp=1&lp=2
[Asus Transformer TF700] AspenMan:
I can also confirm the TF201 dock works just fine with the TF700T. Some other people have stated the colors are off but I really can't tell (I have the grey version), the dock is slightly darker but the way it all fits together it's not noticeable. Some others have also mentioned there's a bit of a gap in the fitting, mine seems to be a perfect fit and any closer of a fit would not be good (don't want the metal rubbing).

I see no reason to use the TF700 dock; it cost more, has a smaller battery and is a tad thicker from what I've read... Best Buy has the TF201 docks on sale for $99, much better deal than the $149 MSRP or $164 it's currently going for on Amazon (if you want one right away).

Anyone know why we'd want to use the TF700 specific dock?

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

If it's the same as the TF201 dock, it doesn't come with a charger...
[Asus Transformer TF700] fortunz:
I bought a 201 dock from Best Buy, and it works just fine , (and it came with the 207 firmware) but the tf700 doesn't lock into place. The little lock slide sits half way between locked and not when the tab is as far in as it goes, and the tab pulls out without issue. I'm typing on it now, and as I said, it's functional, though it doesn't always charge the tab, last run it recharged it back to 90% (with the dock down to 50%) then stopped charging. I suppose that could be normal behavior.

Anyone else have issues getting it to lock into place? Is it supposed to charge constantly until the dock is drained?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Does any actually have an "official" TF700 dock? From what I'm reading it sounds like everyone has the TF201 dock (including myself). No real complaints about it though - it's actually very nice.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I'm wondering the same. I haven't really heard anyone having the official TF700 dock, so I went ahead and pre-ordered it on Amazon. I don't mind the wait as it forces me to enjoy it as a tablet for a while. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Ok so what your saying is my dock is coming on the 25th and it might be a 201 dock. Is it the same shape? I won't mind since the 201 is supposed to have a bigger battery right? I thought I read that the new keyboard had tapered egdes like the 700. I would want the taperd edge keyboard.

So there is 2 versions

201 dock with 700 software with bigger battery and older shape

Or

700 dock with 700 software and smaller battery with new shape
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
For what it's worth, I have yet to hear from anyone that actually has an "official" TF700 dock - so far, everyone seems to have the TF201 dock (with a sticker slapped on the box saying it's "compatible" with the TF700). I'm assuming (from what I've been hearing) that an "official" TF700 dock will be released and will contain a smaller battery (which I'm assuming would make the dock even thinner than the TF201 dock).

Personally, I think that the TF201 dock still looks great and wouldn't worry about it. It fits perfectly and lines up perfectly in every way. There is a different "pattern" on the dock - it's like horizontal grooved lines instead of circular grooved lines and the color may be slightly different (hard to say for sure), but regardless, it looks great, fits great and best of all, it actually performs great!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
That's good enough for me. As long as it works
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
I bought the tf200 dock but never could get the tf200 tablet so i just waited for the tf700 tablet. When I got the tf700 the first thing i did was plug it into the tf200 dock and it worked flawlessly.

I was surprised at how well the colors matched. I can post pics if you want. The thing with there being a little overhang from the tablet being in the dock is not as bad as he made it seem. Its just a suttle overhang, I thought it was by design so you actually could open the tablet... lol

I would buy the Prime Dock if you guys have not already.

EDIT: on a side note, when I plugged the tablet into the Prime dock it "MADE" me do a Firmware update immediately. It didn't say what it was for so I didn't ask! just thought I would let you know. Also there is a firmware update when you first turn the tablet on as well

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

I put it this way. I bought the 32GB Infinity.. I get another extra 32GB in the dock via sd card. The dock it self is fabulous. Extra charge, keyboard when I want it.

Just buy it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mfucci:
If you can post some pics showing the color diffrence, I'd really appreciate it. The videos and pics I've seen seem to show two very different colors.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nacho~:
I have both the tf700 and the tf700 dock. Only reason I traded in my prime dock was because I wanted the new one for a review that im doing. It's almost identical, but i don't have that gap that most of you are complaining about, nor does my lock stay centered. If I wasn't a best buy employee, I would have kept the 201 dock, but i get them both for the same price so i didnt mind. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeartWare42:
I use the dock all the time. There are so many situations, where I benefit from the keyboard, not to mention using the dock as a counter-weight when I read books on it, so that the pad itself stays in upright position without me needing to hold it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mfucci:
Is your dock the same color as the Infinity?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
sure, once I get off work I will
[Asus Transformer TF700] mfucci:
Thanks :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] icemanatee:
I've been using the TF201 dock with my infinity and it's been functioning flawlessly so I can vouch for the compatibility. I got it at Best Buy for 99+tax .
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
TF700 Infinity & TF201 Dock

All pictures were taken with an HTC EVO 4G LTE and a pair of shaky hands!

okay here we go. Its really hard to tell that they are the same color because the light reflects off them differently since the tablet has a swirl finish while the dock has a straight line finish. I hope these help. Honestly guys I can not tell a difference in color and I think people who "can" have told themselves there is a difference and are seeing it.

You can kind of see the purple silver tint on both here.

This is just to show the gap inbetween them because the dock has 3 rubber stoppers on the edge

Here you can really see the same gray silver color

Purple...Purple

Another picture of the gap, this is the front of the tablet. There is no overhang, the people who say there is, are just not docking it in all the way. Now that I look at this picture again it does look like there might be but its just the angle of the picture

Just a close up of the silver gray and the gap

---------- Post added at 07:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

You bring up a VERY good point. The Dock is an awesome counter weight! Also you feel real badass when someone sees it in the dock and goes "oh is that a new netbook" and you say "kind of".. and then take it out of the dock. Their faces are priceless!
[Asus Transformer TF700] mfucci:
Thanks for the pics. Not sure if it's just that I know that they are different (like you said) but they seem to me to be two totally different colors. I think this will become apparent if/when Asus releases a matching dock
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
I mean its really hard to say because the way the light reflects off both differently. Once they are in your hand its really hard to say that they are different colors. To me they look purple. but to other people they don't look purple at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mfucci:
The interesting thing is that when I look at pics of the Prime with the dock, I can't see any color difference between the two. This is not the case in any picture that I have seen with the Infinity and the dock. I do think the angles disguise it somewhat but I think it would drive me nuts :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Cherokee4Life:
Honestly though the only thing that would drive me nuts is if you say the horizontal lines on the dock as well of the swirl on the tablet. But since the Horizontal lines are on the bottom of the dock you never see them. And when you have the dock open all you see on the tablet is the bezel and all you see on the dock is a matte "gray" / "silver" / "purple" so it flows perfectly.

I think its was ingenious by ASUS personally.

TF700 w/TF201T Dock

And I quote: "* The Transformer Pad Infinity mobile dock is compatible with Eee Pad Transformer Prime. (The Eee Pad Transformer Prime mobile dock is NOT compatible with Transformer Pad Infinity)"

I know many people have stated otherwise, and if I remember correctly engadget even tried it out. But the official site clearly states that the prime dock will not work on the infinity.[/QUOTE]

I received my TF700 Tablet yesterday, love it and after reading many threads I went to Best Buy and bought the Dock for the TF201, fits and works great!! Yes color of the dock is a tad darker but that is not an issue for me at all. It works and it was $50-$60 cheaper. I see a slight gap but like another said there are some rubber pads on it which I think are great to keep both parts from rubbing and that small gap also makes it easier to open. Bottom line I see no reason to pay extra $$ when this works and looks just great! Enjoy, I sure am!
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
In this photo from the Infinity review on RitchiesRoom, doesn't it look like it has the same amount of gap between the pad and the dock as the photos that have been posted here? Though I'm not sure if this is also a Prime Dock or an Infinity Dock (just assuming it is an Infinity dock). Either way, the gap looks fine to me...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Diogenes5:
Now that my Infinity is in, I have to say, I am halfway between the people that say it doesn't work and the people that say it does. I had a TF300 and dock for comparison and that fit smoothly like a glove even after I added a screen protector to the thing (be careful on the T300 though, the plastic around the dock connector is very thin and likely to break ... anyways ...

For the TF700, it did feel a little tighter trying to get the tablet into the TF201 dock. It works fine and I'm sure with the corning glass 2 and the aluminum shell, you won't damage your device if you are careful. However, it is not as smooth locking as the TF300 and dock was. It works, but I'd always be a little careful just in case (TF700 is .1 mm thicker and has a more rounded less steep edges).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Bond@007:
In Belgium, the bundle of TF700 give also a dock of TF201 ... Okay the battery is stronger but it's strange that Asus do this ... Why the dock of TF700 cost more ???

I hesitated to contact Asus Belgium because i pay for a full hardware for TF700 and it's not the reality ...

What do you think about this ? I keep the dock of TF201 or not ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] pjpettis:
Here are my posts from Android Central:

Quote:

I ordered the Infinity TF700 dock at Amazon for $150.00. When it arrived I opened the box and noticed that the dock was covered with fingerprints. "Odd...", I thought. Then, I attached it to my new Infinity. But, I quickly noticed that it was exactly like my Prime's dock. So, I switched them with each other. They are absolutely the same. There is no spacing difference, no color difference between the two keyboards, the slider/lock was snug and went halfway sometimes on both, not just the TF201... they appear to be identical. Now, I am PISSED... It appears that I have been defrauded. I paid $150.00 for a dock I thought I had to have since ASUS was claiming at one time that the docks were not compatible with each other. I think that someone simply pulled the old label off of the keyboard and stuck a new one on and didn't even wipe off their fingerprints. I can pick up a second TF201 from BB for $50.00 less!!! I went to Best Buy tonight and purchased a $99.00 TF201 and slapped it on my Infinity and it works just fine and fits perfectly and the color is identical to the other dock I bought from Amazon (though neither was 100% identical to the tablet, but it is virtually unnoticeable). So, now I'm trying to return the $150.00 dock. ASUS has really let me down again. First, the Prime's GPS and other wireless issues and now ASUS is lying about the keyboard docks. Geez... Good news? The Infinity IS AWESOME. Looking forward to Jelly Bean. Hope it fixes the IO issues on the Prime AND the Infinity.​

More good news... The Amazon seller is allowing me to return the TF201. They are NOT HAPPY with ASUS and claim that a LOT of customers are also NOT HAPPY with ASUS. At first, they wanted to charge me a 15% restocking fee. But I convinced them that I was defrauded since ASUS was at one time claiming that the TF201 keyboard/dock would not be compatible with the TF700 and that's why I bought it which is true. They actually agreed and are escalating to ASUS "again" (their word). They said that ASUS has really screwed the sellers and distributors along with the end customers. This may be my last ASUS product. I'm tired of the low-end, dishonest tactics.​

FYI - The bottom of BOTH docks had horizontal line finish, not circlular.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
There's an asus rep posting in the general section that the dock are in fact different despite 201 labeling. I've posted asking for proof, but some of you may want to chime in.

I have contacted ASUS directly about this since there is no representation available about this, I will post the information within the next 48 hours.

I just got my dock from an asus authorised reseller and it is a TF201 dock. The guy told me that the firmware is different that the regular dock and battery is bigger but its the same dock for both
[Asus Transformer TF700] bookem11:
I received my Infinity today and plugged it into a newly purchased TF201 Prime dock. Was surprised that I didn't have to update the dock as it was already updated. Perhaps I got a "tf700" dock?:confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] HeartWare42:
My old TF201 dock was updated to the newest firmware along with the TF201 tablet some months back. So the TF201 pads have been running with the proper firmware for some time before the TF700 was available.
[Asus Transformer TF700] iampedro:
Here is my answer from ASUS,"

Dear valued customer

Thank you for contacting ASUS Technical Service

There is no TF700T docking. The TF700T is sold with TH201 docking station as a setting, so don't be worried.

If you have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Have a nice day!"
[Asus Transformer TF700] Crizthakidd:
this upcomming month the real tf700 docks come out lol, asus did something shady as hell, and this should really be confronted up front. feel bad for the suckers paying 163$ on amazon or other stores when your local best buya 5 min drive away was carrying the tf201 prime docks that work the exact same way, and then people had to go and try to prove us wrong that there was a difference and that the firmware was updated... BS ! haha its the same, my dock even HAD the latest, plus all the skeptics with the color difference? its the SAMEEEEEEEE how many times do we have to tell you, save yourself SIXTY bucks and get a new shirt because the one your wearing has tears on it ;]
[Asus Transformer TF700] defty23:
I just received my Champaign Gold infinity yesterday. In Singapore, Asus sell TF700T with the dock in package. The dock is TF201. It worked flawlessly. The down side is a bit tide when I tried to plug my infinity into the dock. The color is no different between the two.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Actually, it's *not* the same. There is a different battery and the battery is located in a different position in the dock. The dock that is "compatible with the 201/700" series *is* slightly different than the dock labled for the TF201 specifically.

At least that's my understanding!

And I've read multiple reports of the TF201-only dock not latching properly or the screen hitting the metal when closed, etc... I really do think there are two very similiar, but slightly different docks....

Personally, I'm glad I got the correct dock. What is $50 over the lifespan of this product? I don't have to worry about weight distribution issues (since they moved the battery) and I don't have to worry about my screen touching metal when closed!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
This. I think this is one of the sure fire ways of telling. There are even videos detailing this fact.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
Nit good news if this isn't the real TF700 dock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] PederDingo:
Just bought a us2ed TF201 dock, but Im not sure it works properly! How do I see the firmware version? How do l see how much the battery is charged on the dock?

If I press on the Dock Connected sign it just says 0% and i have charged it for many hours?

Best Buy bust

Ordered on line Sunday evening (just after store closed) to get the sale price.

Second emailed rec'd Monday that keyboard was ready for pick up.

Arrived at store and and stood a counter a bit while a couple of CSR talked about other things and then found out that the keyboard was out of stock.

I was then told I'd get a call when it arrived and I requested email vice phone call due to a medical condition. I was informed that Best Buy does not do email.

Credit card was charged that day and I noticed pick email was gone from Gmail account.

Placed my order with Amazon.com for the tablet today and attempted to place a order for the keyboard at another Best Buy about 15 miles further away & website would not accept order even though item was available.

Today rec'd a Pickup Reminder email. Fool me once shame on me.. I had someone else call to confirm.

No go - not there.

We were told we could either cancel or call Corp HQ and request to have order transferred to the other store.

The CSR was asked why they couldn't take care of it and she said she just couldn't.

I spend at least a few hundred (min) each year at that store (#430) either in person or via the web for my toys. Some years a few thousand (TVs appliances so forth)

Not again or any more.

This experience has cost not only that store, but the Best Buy company, a long time loyal customer who didn't get mad, but has decided to buy his toys some place else.

Amazon.com here I come

Well obviously the Prime dock works with the Infinity. $20 says ASUS is only saying that just to get people to buy the more expensive dock. Do you blame them? Besides who cares what they say as long as it works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eroc162:
I bought the TF700 tab and dock because one reason. Later on when I do decide to upgrade to a different tab it will be easier to sell both if they are ment to go together. You know there was a $50 diffrence lolol

$500 for 64GB Infinity with TF700 Dock

Or

$500 for 64GB Infinity with Tf201 Dock

Which would be your first choice?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ajamils:
Don't forget that you paid extra to get TF700 dock instead of TF201, so in the end you will lose more :)
