Well, I'm sure I will get some pretty biased responses, but I am looking for a true android device, don't want to spend a ton, so I was thinking of selling my HP touchpad for a transformer!! What do you think? Thoughts? Really want to keep the cost in the 3-350 range...

Check out the transformer 300. Right now ice cream sandwich has been unstable in the tf101 for some ppl including me.

i have a hp touchpad and also have a transformer. Since purchasing the transformer, i don't use the touchpad (with android) at all and actually gave it to my 5 year old. i have had a few lockups, but nothing too major and never while i'm using it. i'm sure it will get sorted out relatively soon. also i frequently see WTB ads on my local craigslist wanting 16gb touchpads for ~$200 and i also frequently see ads selling transformers with dock for $250-$350. So, if you sell your tp you should be able to get into a transformer for no more than $150 out of pocket if the market where you live is similar to mine.

I decided to return my TPad for a replacement. It was way too laggy and others were not having the issue. Best Buy replaced it no problem and I was able to get a 32G that had just arrived. I had to pay the extra $20 but that was OK with me.
I am happy to report that the new Pad does not have the lag issues. I am unhappy to report that it has a reboot problem. [Rebooted at least 6 or 7 times since yesterday]. I have done one reset and I restored apps from Titanium. I had 1 reboot since. If it happens again I will restore once more and not restore my apps via Titanium. If it still reboots I will try another replacement. Still it is very good to know that the lag issue was the individual tablet and not something present in all of them. It gives me hope.
If anyone has another recommendation for the reboots let me know.

I'd like to be able to set the performance to MAX on boot rather than the middle setting and having to keep increasing it to play HD videos.

I am in the U.S. When I was returning the 16G version I asked if they had the 32G. The girl checked her computer and said no. When they brought the replacement it was the 32G. She thought they must have come in that day.
Aww sheeet I'm about to book it to best buy then and go through every tablet they got for one. They had their 201 docks labeled as the 300 docks. So disorganized.

i picked up my tf300t from bestbuy and they told me it was a 16gb version but when i got home it was the 32gb version. I'm in the us by the way.

I just went to my best buy here in Bend, Oregon and picked up a 32gb tf300t. I called on maybe thursday last week and the person I talked to didnt even know when they would be getting it in. Went in today and looked through all the tf300's looking for the 32gb and found one. It looked like they had a few more but there was no price tag saying they had 32gb's for sale. Strange.
Either way I exchanged my 16gb tf300 for the 32gb and paid $20. Now im happy,
In other news it doesnt seem to be finding the latest firmware update, still on .17
Insane deal on Woot today... Refurbished but still. Returning my Chrome book to Best Buy today and buying this.

Chromebook and a Transformer are really two different classes of devices .. but worth a try.
Hey guys,
Some of you have seen me floating around here in the TF300T with some nifty mods. Well some of those mods I needed the dock to test out. But i do not have a dock, and most likely will not be purchasing one as i really dont need/want one.
But for the sake of development/modding i would like one.
So i am asking very kindly if there is anyone out there who has an old unused dock they are willing to donate to me. It would seriously be amazing and i would be forever in your debt. It will also greatly motivate me to continue making mods and such for this amazing tablet.
Thanks for your time by simply reading this!
I wish I didn't need mine but I can't live without it, really handy having one.

Thanks for the reply! I just highly doubt I'd really use it all that much. It's too expensive to buy one only for development proposes

I wouldn't mind lending it to you if you were in my "neighbourhood", I live in Cyprus, and from the Deutsch in your signature I assume you either live in Germany or some other Germanic speaking "hood"
P.S.: If you actually own the tf300 and you don't just use someone else's I really would suggest to get one, it comes handy in many occasions (battery and productivity-wise).

I actually sadly live in Pennsylvania. I just know how to speak German xP but being a college student, having to pay 100 plus for the dock... I just don't have it.

I get it, I know how it is to be on a tight budget, I sold my optimus 2x and found the tf300tg 32gb plus the dock for a bargain, just as I was ready to buy an One X, and I got it, my phone now is an old school Samsung i1080 or something, I'll wait for a few months till all the new "****" come out and decide which one I'm gonna get then. I like your mods but sadly I can't install 'em as I'm running the stock odexed ROM, I will try and see if I can deodex mine somehow as I need the tg ROM for whatsapp to work (that's how I talk to my girl when we're not together) and I haven't found a deodexed tf300tg ROM anywhere.

I think clean ROM works. Just gotta use the proper kernel.

One with the dock, but it probably has to be RMA'd. Unrecoverable bootloader error. Not a message that you want to see in Fastboot mode.

How much costs the RMA for "Unrecoverable bootloader error"? Is it really the $ 202 for the whole mainboard?
Somewhere in a polish forum I've read that a user got it the RMA for around $ 20.. but maybe his was just softbriked?!
Well, Asus should have to possibility to delete easily all partitions and reflash fastboot via apx, don't they?

They're not very smart, the devs here could design a better bootloader for the tf300 than Asus

Best buy was a lot more helpful than Asus... they let me exchange it 3 times without losing or using my replacement plan.

I'm on my third tablet. My first had a dead pixel but was otherwise perfect. Walmart exchanged it with no hassles. The second started out perfect, but within a couple weeks, the touch input gave out. I would get ghost presses by lightly squeezing the left edge of the tablet (no more force than was required to hold the tablet with one hand; that was how I first noticed the ghost touches), then I would get random ghost touches regardless, and within a couple days, it didn't respond to touch input at all. That one also got returned without hassles.
This third tablet has been great minus the I/O issues. If the I/O could be fixed, my tablet would be perfect.
My first TF300 hand issues with the touch screen and went back to best buy for an exchange. Before that I had an TF101 whet through had to exchange my first two TF101 and the third one screen went out after about a year, so I upgraded to the TF300.
I I/O issues with just about all Asus tablets and the fact that I'vd had to exchange every Asus tablet at lest one leads me to think this will be my last Asus tablet. Even though I love Asus tablet and dock combo but, I'll probably be going with a Samsung next time.

The TF300 I have is from that same sale last year. IO seems to be better with a custom ROM. Only real issue mine has is that the micro SD slot broke last week and the card will not stay inserted. Not a big deal for me though.

Not really sure. I was using the tablet to listen to music and browse the web before bed and when I was putting it up I noticed the card was sticking out and I couldn't click it back in.
