Hello, im looking for the best tablet i can get for about $400 ($500 if bestbuy has it for a decent price). I was thinking about getting this. I plan on watching movies on it and browsing the web. I'll prob never leave the house with it. Do you guys think this would be worth getting?
All the software is pretty much the same with the exception of the XOOM because it's on Android 3.2.
What it comes down to is the price and hardware.
Galaxy Tab: Slimness, Light, no MicroSD
Transformer: Cheap, IPS screen, dock (extended battery life, 2 USBs), microSd
Acer: 1 USB on the tablet itself, microSD
etc etc.... make your decision quick, -$100 coupon is available @ staples with some other retailers honoring their coupon as well.

Should i get the transformer or wait?
How do i use the -$100 coupon? thanks.
Here's my list of all the tablets I've owned and returned before sticking with the transformer-
-Toshiba thrive- dim screen compared to transformer, brick, lots of ports though, don't see it having a lot of support
-transformer- liked it but wanted to try some others
-galaxy tab- nice screen(transformers just as nice), thin/light, no ports or SD support(why samsung?), very soft plastic surrounding screen, got dinged/knicked with hardly any use(this is the one my wife decided to keep, wasn't for me though)
-xoom- screen isn't that bad, but transformer/gtab10.1 screen is noticeably better, brick(didn't bother me , just putting it out there as It's probably the heaviest), power button on back is sometimes annoying, immediate updates wasn't worth the trade for decrease in screen quality to me
Now I'm back to the transformer to stay. Its got the perfect balance of ports/size/looks/accessories to warrant me keeping it over the others. the fact that its the cheapest out of all of them is just an added bonus.
Alright, I decided to go with the transformer after reading reviews / looking in other sections. Does anyone know the cheapest place in the US to buy them?

Try starting with the Staples coupon. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177461 is the read. Try going through them. From what I've been told,
- Office depot will honor the coupon for Transformer ONLY if the nearby Staples have the Transformer in stock.
- Go to Staples and see if they have the Transformer
Newegg and Amazon have pretty good values for Transformer if you can't get a purchase with the Staples coupon.
@curti.nogg: Absolutely. I was just giving a list of features on the top of my head.
Only thing I dislike about the Transformer is the charger cable is really short but I have a USB3 M-F extender so that fixed it.
Thanks so much.
+1 to everyone

Good luck! Hope to see more posts from you in the future in the Transformer forums.
Here's a good deal for anyone who took advantage of the Toshiba Thrive deal I posted earlier.
Amazon has the Toshiba Thrive dock with HDMI out on sale for $21. Free shipping with Prime.
Linky.
tablet have a asus transformer tf101 with a keyboad dock for sale the transformer comes with 16gb of onboard memory and the im including 16gb micro sd card this tablet is in like new condition just upgraded to the prime and have no need for the OG transformer. I do not have paypal so the only way I could ship it is if you sent a money order but I am asking a very fair price of $400 or best offer that includes shipping if interested you can call or text me at 216-374-2760 or email [email protected] would like to find a good home for this great tablet I am in ohio by the way I will ship anywhere in the US
Apparently I can't post a link to it, but these docks are on sale @ Best Buy both in-store, and online for $99. Just picked one up for my Infinity, and it definitely isn't that whole re-labeled TF201 dock mess. Can't beat $50 off!
