Tablets
- Thread starter Messy
- Start date
Ok, so I've narrowed it down to two choices:
1. Asus Transformer Prime TF201 32G Tablet with dock; or
2. Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Silver 16GB 10.1"
I'm reasonably familiar with the Samsung (currently have the galaxy tab 2 7.0) so have a fair idea of what to expect, however the idea of a keyboard dock with its own battery charge also appeals. does anyone have any experience with the Asus transformer? If so, suggestions welcome. Thanks.

So I am getting a new iPad2 from a promotion with Dish network. I would use it but if I am going to have an iPad I would rather have the iPad3.
Is there anyway to go through Apple and get the iPad 3 by trading it in and paying the difference or will I have to sell it for cash first?
I am pretty sure I will have to go the second route, but it would be nice to hand them a new ipad never before opened and pay the difference for the Retina screen and better proc.

Don't see anyway they will give you full market price. You could also try buying an Ipad 3 and returning the Ipad 2 in the Ipad 3 packaging for a full refund. The idiots wont know the difference. I promise I wont snitch.

Or you could just go to best buy and rob them at gun point.
Gazelle.com will give you $170 for a mint condition iPad 2 with 16 GB and Wifi only. Obviously less than you would get on Craigslist/Ebay but less hassle. They will even mail you a post paid box to send it in.

Just bought the Galaxy Tab 3 7 inch. The multi tasking features sold me. Thing looks sweet.
Edit: I can tell right away this thing has a dual core processor. It's laggy, and all I'm trying to do is browse the app store. Have just as much lag, and similar response on my 2 year old Droid Bionic.

You're welcome.
Got all the warts worked out of this new Nexus 7 2013...and damn it's slick...Android especially. Glad I didn't give up on it.

Was rushed into the purchase and got talked into the slick looking Tab 3.
The very next morning I knew I made a mistake and will be returning the Tab 3. The lucky thing? Between then and now I found a friend that works at Best Buy so I can get an employee discount.
+1, no reason to get any 7 inch android tablet besides the nexus 7. I have a first gen nexus 7 and it's still smoother and more responsive than anything from Samsung, Asus, etc.

I'm holding out on a Nexus 10 refresh before I finally buy a tablet. From what I understand, it's a good tablet, but a little under powered for the high resolution screen. Asus also has a new Transformer Pad on the way, which will have a Tegra 4 SoC, but I haven't heard much else about it.
If you're interested in flashing custom roms, it's hard to go wrong with a nexus device. If not, then the Transformer series is a good one, as it gives you the option to get the keyboard dock which has it's own battery. A coworker of mine has a Prime and has been very happy with it, despite the mediocre wifi reception that got fixed in the Infinity.
I meant the Transformer series. Also the Nexus 7 is so responsive it's more responsive than the Nexus 7!

I'm reasonably sure it's an issue with grounding, which will be interesting to see how they fix with software. Mine only has the multitouch issue if I am not holding it, which is pretty much never for a tablet this size. It's worse for some people though

Ya I knew what you meant, just messing with you. I agree that the nexus is very different from other Asus tablets.
