Other choices suck compared to the PS3/360 controllers. I still stand by my opinion (which is like an a**hole I know) that for portable gaming you simply can't go wrong with a laptop. I just sat on a 7.5hr flight yesterday with my laptop in my lap playing Skryim and Dawn of War II for mostly the whole time and watching shows when not. I guess I am spoiled by having a power outlet but still, you can't beat a laptop for portable gaming period. And my 17" budget gaming laptop was LESS than the new ipad and some of these other tablets at $520 from Newegg and able to run Skyrim on Ultra if I want (usually run on high with all the mods I've got loaded). And honestly as far as tablets go I think I'd rather have the Infinity after finally test driving one the other day than either the 10 or the ipad if I was to get a 10" tablet. Its fast as hell, the resolution is great, its thin, light, the OEM keyboard accessory is amazingly good if you want it (not sure I would but the guy who had it had one) and I didn't see any software issues at all. Having the microSD takes the cake and if you format one of the 64GB ones for FAT32 it'll work just fine if it doesn't already right out of the box. I just can't wrap my mind around spending $400 for a tablet with 16GB of memory and then spending $100 more for a measly 16GB extra which would cost you $10 in a micro card. I mean bang for the buck wise its pretty hard to go wrong with the Infinity if you are looking at the "big 3". $479 new plus $40 for a 64GB card is still about $200 less than the 64GB ipad. Which should but does not come with a complimentary tube of KY at that price...

Then there are the Ainol 10" tablets that just released. $219 for a tablet somewhat comparable to the Infinity from a manufacturer with a pretty good track record in the 7 and 8" tablet area is releasing next month with a dual core 1200x800 model already out. They have crappy cameras and non-IPS displays but a 10" quad core tablet with 1900x1200 resolution with a SD slot for that price... if the reviews are as good as they were on the smaller tablets they make this is a great bang for the buck.

I really can't see anyone using a 17 inch laptop on a train or a bus.

It's twice as big as an iPad - which is already the size of A4 paper.

Also I'm pretty sure Infinity only has microSD on the dock.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KestrelX:
Infinity has micro SD on the tablet and SD on the dock

Well the screen would be poor and iPad /nexus would he better choice for gaming
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raytraceme:
I remember gaming when it was the nintendo ds vs psp. They actually had real games that aren't just toilet games like they are on the ipad/android devices. The 3ds/vita too have real games but i guess many might be swayed by game prices. The vita has a pretty ok web browser, netflix, skype, youtube, and cheap playstation mobile/mini games. It has amazing games like lbp vita (a whole app store on its own), gravity rush, rayman origins, Uncharted, playstation all-stars battle royale, super stardust (addicting as hell), persona 4 (highest rated game this year), nfs most wanted, and soon to come killzone, tearaway, and bioshock.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_Vita_games

The vita is far from underwhelming and imo is the best portable gaming device on the market.

Straight from an iFan's mouth on an iPad forum:

Ipad 4

I was overall disappointed with this. You wouldn't think the weight difference between the Ipad 2 would be that noticeable but it is. After holding the Mini this thing feels even worse. I find that it still has problems running some games and overall doesn't run games as smooth as the Iphone 5. Nova 3, MC3, Asphalt 7 all run better on the Iphone 5. Asphalt 7 after the new update is almost unplayable, the frame rates are really bad. As usual Gameloft games run the worst. Spiderman runs pretty well but is not retina res. Need for Speed might be a slight bump up in resolution but still not full retina. It seems that most games haven't yet caught up with the retina display. The Ipad 4 seems to be much hotter than my Ipad 2 which I know it is supposed to be hotter but the whole left side of mine was hot. There is no doubt the retina screen looks amazing but I find the Ipad 2 and the Mini run most games with comparable frame rates and some even better like Asphalt 7. Now obviously they don't look as good but is it worth the upgrade? If your coming from an Ipad 1 maybe, but from an Ipad 2, I am not sure? I was really convinced I would be keeping this before I had picked it up, but from a gamers standpoint I think it would be better to wait until next year when the Ipad 5 comes out and will more than likely be more powerful and lighter.

Edit: Also forgot to mention that games that are no retina look worse on the retina and look better in the Ipad 2/Mini. Also most of the retina games I played, the menus/guis were still running at old resolutions so it looks kind of weird. Now games that were full on retina like Arc Squadron looked amazing.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyd035ntknow:
Hell I remember the good old days of the Gameboy vs the Gamegear lol. Massive library of games vs color screen. Anyone remember the Sega Nomad? Oh man that thing was amazing, portable Sega Genesis literally, it took Genesis cartridges. Battery lasted about 2 hours at most tho lol.

I actually just picked up a refurb Transformer TF101 after realizing all the wife needs is something that'll do pics, movies, web and reading. She does not game at all so that is a perfect tablet for her at $229 on Newegg/Tigerdirect right meow. Only 1200x800 screen but its IPS and my deployed roomate had one that I used a few times and it was perfectly fine for looking at web pages and vids. Again, removable microSD is a really really big deal for me especially when you can throw a 64GB card formatted to FAT32 into a device that is only rated for a 32GB card and it'll work fine. And there are multiple roms out there that crank the speed of the thing up over 50% if she says it is slow for whatever reason. PLUS Asus does have the best accessories for its tablets. The keydock adds 6 hours of battery life FFS...

So yeah after more research on the "big 3" tablets out there, having used ipads before, having finally got to test drive an Infinity and having used the original Transformer before... Unless you HAVE to have the omgwtfbbq resolution of the Nexus 10 there is 0 reason to get any tablet besides the Infinity. With a caveat... they did have initial batches with QC issues as can happen to any company so the best thing you can do is buy locally from a big box store like the crackheads at Bestbuy in case you get one with issues. If you do keep returning until you get one you find is 100% and roll. Although the guy who had the Infinity I test drove had ordered it to an overseas APO box and it was the first and only and it was fine.

And if you MUST have the ipad because you just can't live without iOS, have a spouse/friend/family member you are buying for who is dead set on it, are brainwashed or one of those idiots who freaks out if they don't have THE latest/greatest whatever it is (not just Apple although with the amount of internet rage from people with perfectly good retina equipped ipad 3s that happened with the ipad 4 came out I feel they are the worst offenders). Find a sale and don't fall for the wifi/64GB unit. Anyone with a smartphone can tether these days so having 3G/4G is pointless in a tablet especially when you are going to pay extra $$$ per month to do it. And if you are getting a 64GB unit you are paying an extra $200 for something that should cost you $40 since the jackasses at Apple (and Google) don't include a SD card slot because they love gouging ppl for extra storage.

Hopefully the ipad fans on here were able to take advantage of the Gamestop sale on refurb Ipad 3s a few days ago, 16GB wifi unit for $300. Refurbished Apple products are about the only thing I've heard Gamestop does right apparently.

ok /rant.

Get the Infinity for $479 if you must have one of the new high end 10.1" tablets. Has all the features, has the resolution, has the removable storage and has the best accessories.

This is total BS from someone clearly trying to justify his ipad mini over the full size. Asphalt7 on ipad 4 is smooth as butter. The frame rates are really bad? What a croak of sh-t. Don't rely on these BS fanboy testimonies, get one for yourself to try.

There's no point dissing the ipad 4 here, you aren't going to convince a single person. Ipad 4 is a solid product. If you can stand ios (a big if I know) and already have a collection of apps there, it's really a no brainer over the Nexus 10.

Oh well no point in trying to educate the uneducated android/ios mass about real gaming devices. Mobile games are a step backwards in the gaming world and if you want to be an idiot and buy a tablet for just gaming then you are a dumbass. While ill be enjoying full blown games on my vita/3ds you can enjoy playing potty games on your buttonless ios device.

Oh excuse me, not everyone is such a ~hardcore~ gamer like you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mj23kb24:
Just had to throw my two sense into here: First off if you had to pick between these two tablets then I would go with the Ipad if you were doing gaming ONLY. As far as I know there are emulators available through a jailbreak which you are going to have to wait for. However for an all around tablet I would go with the N10. This is my personal preference of course and no matter what anyone says on here, its all going to come down to which one you prefer. I think the N10 has potential to be a serious contender but it needs the developers which arent here just yet, give it a year and Im sure more support will be here. However keep in mind that by this time both of these tablets will be "Obsolete" to most "gamers."

Personally I think going with the Ipad mini for gaming was a mistake because once more demanding games come out that were intended for the higher ended Ipads this one will be left behind. I do think that it is a cool little device if you dont have an Iphone though.

Now for what I really think you should invest in: Personally I think a gaming laptop would be an awesome decision. Lets face it no platform out there has the amount of applications or programs that the PC does. A laptop can very well have portability, Silver keeps suggesting a 17" computer when that is not what you need you can very well pull off a smaller screen size and be fine with it. Not to mention the ports you have on the side, some have a VGA (Not the most ideal for gaming) that you could hook up to an external monitor. Plus you have USB ports where you can plug in a wired Xbox controller into and play supported games with. If there isnt support for that game then there are softwares out to fix that issue. Then you have the mouse option, while traveling you may not be able to use it however how much better is a touch screen over a touch pad? Either way you are resorted to a less beneficial way of gaming. Also the quality of games on a PC are out right amazing. Some people were saying that they will be outdated soon but thats how technology is period. No matter what you get it will be outdated within atleast 6 months this doesnt mean you cant play the new games that come out. A lot of this technology is overkill anyways.

To Silver: A lot of people on here are going to poke fun at the IOS folks but keep in mind that you are in an android forum where the majority like android. Just ignore them if they really affect you so bad. These names they call you are made for reasons. Ifans are when your a FAN of an IOS device, not so bad right? Just take a chill pill man, others are trying to defend their preference just as you are.

I never said I was a "hardcore" gamer. Its a little hobby of mine that is being hampered because of ios/android potty games.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverHedgehog:
Umm... I'm suggesting NOT getting a 17 inch laptop - it's not portable at all and battery life is crap.

And just calling everyone who buys Apple stuff iSlaves and sheep? That's just bull****. Not only that, it came literally out of nowhere.

The guy who actually suggested 17 inch laptops for 'portable' gaming went to explain why not, then just insulted all Apple users out of nowhere.

Hell, I'm not even an Apple user. I just think it's bull**** when people insult others just because they own a different device - whether it's an iPhone, an Android, or a Windows Phone.

I will not let insulting people for no good reason slide.

i don't own a nexus 10 but after owning several Android tablet (note 10.1, tf201, tf700 infinity) i gave up on android tablets for now. Most of the apps are not solid, devices freezes and crashes all the time. The apps are not solid or polish like the IOS apps. I was a apple hater but i have to admit that ipad ( i have the 4th) is the best tablet right now. i still will be using android phones (own a GS3). I was just like most people here that i did not give a chance to the ipad only bashing it because everyone said it is an icrap. This thing is just perfect out of the box, no messing with roms, kernel overclocking. Don't need to cause it is such a fast and rock solid device.

You think the all around tablet is the N10, but then in the next sentence you say it needs developers which just aren't here yet and need another year. Another year is almost a lifetime for devices like this. It's retarded to buy something now on the basis of hope and then call that all around.

Unlike u I own a vaio duo 11 and its battery life is great usually 4+ hrs of heavy use. Its both a tablet and a full on laptop unlike the ipad. Also its way more powerful than the ipad and is great for school. Also there are plenty of touch optimized games for the windows store and the games app store (1690 free last time I checked). Also I connect my ps3 controller and play black ops on the go and have access to my steam library. Plus with sony making gaikai available to any device soon the hybrid will be a good gaming platform for years to come. For 1200 I got a powerful tablet and ultrabook while an ipad + MacBook air costs 1600+ for weaker specs as well.

I'm asking this because I have never used a nexus device before.

I have seen some photos and noticed that the on-screen buttons appears while gaming.

So isn't this a problem? I mean you can accidently touch a button and it will mess everything up.

Is there an option to make the buttons less sensitive while gaming? or is it not an issue at all and it's a matter of getting used to it?

Also what is your opinion about them compared to the buttons in.. lets say.. SGS3.. what is more comfortable in your opinion?

I'm really intersted in buying the Nexus 4 but first I want to make sure that the most basic stuff, the on-screen buttons, are efficient and comfortable to use so I'm waiting for your answers :)
