ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T
Today, ASUS is introducing the Transformer Prime TF700T, its new flagship tablet and upgrade to the Transformer Prime TF201. The TF700T, which according to ASUS does not replace the TF201, remains practically the same as the original Prime, save for a higher resolution (1920x1200) display, a better front facing camera (2MP), and featuring a new back panel design.
When ASUS released the original Prime (TF201), early last month, we described it as one hell of a device, packing more power and newer features in an even smaller package than the original Transformer (TF101). Unfortunately, the all-aluminum construction of the Prime caused some serious GPS issues, which ASUS acknowledged as a hardware problem.
Interestingly, it appears that ASUS' main goal of releasing the TF700T is to rectify the GPS issue in the original Prime. Although the majority of the TF700T remains the same as the TF201, the back panel has been significantly modified to enhance WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS performance. While it is laudable that ASUS has chosen to rectify the GPS issue by modifying the back panel, we must question why the TF201 was even released with such an obvious and major design flaw. Indeed, early adopters of the TF201 must be feeling as though ASUS left them holding the bag, so to speak.
The TF700T, as mentioned already, is practically the same as the TF201, but here are the specs anyway:
10.1” (1920x1200) Super IPS+ panel, with a 178 degree viewing angle
1.3 GHz Quad core Cortex A9 NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor (with 12 core GeForce GPU)
8MP rear camera with autofocus, LED Flash, and 1080P recording and 2MP front facing camera with HD video chat
32GB/64GB internal memory, plus 8GB of ASUS Web Storage
WLAN 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology
2-in-1 3.5mm jack, micro-HDMI output, and microSD card reader
25WHr lithium-polymer battery (should have the same battery life as the TF201)
263 x 180.8 x 8.3mm and 586g
The keyboard dock for the TF700T remains the same as the one for the original TF201:
1 USB 2.0 ports, full-size MMC/SD/SDHC card reader
22 WHr battery for extended battery life
263 x 180.8 x 8 to 10.4 mm, 537g

Yegads, my apologies. I was in a rush, saw "Meijer" and $531, and jumped to conclusions. Thanks for the clarification (and patience) and I'll check it out.
Looks like they pulled it from the website, as a search for Xoom shows "We couldn't find any results for xoom, but we found 958 matches for room."
Yeah sold out...
No results for "motorola xoom". Or did you mean material zoom?
Just FYI

Thanks!

Its all about the screen for me. I had a cheaper tablet before my TF and spec wise it was very similar but it had a lower resolution lcd screen which had poor viewing angles and hd video playback was very poor. As always you get what you pay for and after using my TF with its high resolution ips screen i woud have to think very hard before changing it for another.

The unique characteristics of the Transformer is the keyboard. If that is what you need the TF is for you. Other tabs are lighter, Samsung, and have better apps, ipad, but none are better at tasks that require a keyboard.

For me battery usage, keyboard dock and build quality was important.
Why anyone should get a ASUS Transformer over a regular Android tablet:
1. It has long battery life.
2. It has a keyboard dock with USB ports and a second battery.
3. It will get a decent build of ICS.
Why anyone should get a TF101 over a TF201:
1. It has stronger WiFi.
2. It has stronger GPS.
3. It has a better sound output system.
I would also argue that it has a much better screen and auto brightness capability than the TF201/Prime does.

I was thinking of buying a tablet, so here are two tablets I saw that were affordable. I'm considering ASUS only, since some of the Acer tablets I saw that were affordable, didn't fare too well in some of the reviews I read.
Specs of the 2 tablets, ASUS VivoTab Smart and ASUS Transformer Book T100, differences in specs are bolded.
NOTE: The Transformer Book T100 does not have a rear camera.

The Transformer Book T100 isn't out yet, but if its really better than the VivoTab Smart, I'm willing to wait. Your views?
The smart is one of the first Win 8 tablets and there's extremely mixed reviews on build quality which scared me off of buying it at the time. Hopefully the TX will be a step forward from any problems...if time's not an issue, it'll surely be an improvement. In terms of performance, everyone's claiming Bay Trail will be far superior to the previous atom processors like in the Smart.

I also read about how Bay Trail is 'far far far better than previous Atoms', I'm ok to wait if its good, but if it isn't better than the VivoTab Smart, I would have wasted my time. I do hope it is better.
I'm waiting to get one of either of these 2 gems:

Oh yeah, the Dell Venue 11 Pro. I forgot about that maybe I'll consider that too since its around the same pricing as the VivoTab Smart (as per some reviews, USD499, same as VivoTab Smart). I wouldn't consider the Surface Pro 1/2, since IMO its an overpriced tablet. I think I'll wait.

Interested on T100. I heard it is speedy based on the review. I hope the RAM is upgradable by user

Buy the ASUS Transformer Book T100
I've decided to use the money to buy a new laptop (since that was more or less what I really needed), its a Lenovo Ideadpad Y410p, but thanks to all for your opinions! (Someone lock the thread?)
Hey guys, now that Asus has unveiled the specs and pricing of Asus Zenfone 3 variants, what do you think?
Asus ZenFone 3 is the most basic model of the three. It has an aluminum frame body with 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass on the front and back. On the front is a 5.5-inch 1080p Super IPS+ display with up to 500 nits brightness and 77.3% screen to body ratio.
The Zenfone 3 also has a 16 megapixel camera on the back with ASUS TriTech autofocus that combines second generation laser autofocus, phase detection autofocus and contrast detection autofocus to achieve focus in 0.03 seconds.
The handset runs on Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 and has up to 4GB of RAM. There is also a fingerprint sensor on the back.
Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe is the flagship model. It has a full metal body with no visible antenna lines and 4.2mm edges. It is built around a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with over 100% NTSC color gamut and 79% screen to body ratio.
The phone runs on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 with up to 6GB of RAM. On the back is a 23 megapixel Sony IMX318 camera with f2.0 aperture, 4-axis optical image stabilization, and 4K video with the same TriTech autofocus system as on the ZenFone 3.
The ZenFone 3 Deluxe uses a USB Type-C connector with USB 3.0 and Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 support. The phone also has a fingerprint sensor on the back. Lastly, there is also a single five-magnet speaker and Hi-Res Audio support.
Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra has a massive 6.8-inch 1080p display with 95% NTSC color gamut support, 79% screen to body ratio, and what ASUS calls Tru2Life+ Video technology that uses a high-end 4K UHD TV-grade image processor. The ZenFone 3 also has two five-magnet speakers, Hi-Res Audio support, and also the first phone to have virtual 7.1 channel surround sound with DTS Headphone: X.
On the back is the same 23 megapixel camera as on the ZenFone 3 Deluxe. The phablet is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 with up to 4GB of RAM, and a 4600mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 support.
The Zenfone 3 Deluxe can also charge other devices with a 1.5A output. Lastly, there is a fingerprint sensor on the front of the device. All packed in a full metal body with no visible antenna lines.
Prices start at $249 for the ZenFone 3,
$499 for the ZenFone 3 Deluxe, and
$479 for the ZenFone 3 Ultra.

definitely keen on the zenfone 3 deluxe
wouldn't mind the bigger screen ultra but the specs are not as good
I'm more interested in Deluxe variant of Asus ZenFone 3
I learned my lesson from ZF2 and will therefore avoid ZF3 (I personally am not happy with the support ZF2 received).
And no, I don't want to argue about it, I am just stating my personal subjective opinion for the record.
Thankfully the 2nd sim slot is also the sd card slot so I won't be tempted to change. Need more than 64gb and also need 2 sims.

They all seem good. The regular zenfone 3 is a lot of phone for $249. Yeah, not a blazing fast CPU, but most people use a tiny fraction of their phones processing power most of the time, and the 14nm process should be very energy efficient. Otherwise it is pretty sweet and well specced for the price. The deluxe is a beast. Expensive for ASUS, but for the level of hardware base $499 price is good. The Ultra is certainly niche. Not as powerful in terms of soc, but still no slouch and the audio and video capabilities make it pretty enticing. I voted deluxe, but if I had the money and wasn't pissed off at ASUS for the upgrade farce of the Zf2, would be a toss up between the deluxe and ultra. I'd need to try them in person in the shop before deciding.
Wait so no quick charge on base model?
Don't get me wrong I love my Zenfone 2, even if only after unlocking and flashing CM, but really just a 1080p screen for base and deluxe and a 625 processor on the base, and still just a 3,00maH battery. I think I'd be passing on this phone in favor on the next nexus phones.

I have the same sentiments. Seems like the only major improvement is on the camera. I don't know why glass is considered to be such a major upgrade to design as well, repairability is gonna take a hit. The 625 isn't even gonna compete with any other cheaper mid range offerings having SD 650(Redmi note 3 pro), SD 801 (Oneplus x) and even our very own intel atom z35XX line. The deluxe on the other hand is flagship material but is gonna have a hard time considering cheaper equally or better specs alternatives like ZTE Axon 7 at $450 and the soon to be released Oneplus 3.

THIS.. Ohh why would Asus change such a basic yet beautiful option.. Why why why.. What a let down..
Can't wait for Zenfone 3 Deluxe....
I just hope that the battery is good enough.
just hoping that zenfone 3 will have better battery life since its not Intel and having a better display.
And please when it comes out in my country it will rougly same price as zenfone 2 when it launch :angel:
The camera should be also really great...i hope better than Samsung / LG..
I had high expectations of their next ZenFone, but so far I'm disappointed. Not having a separate slot for the MicroSD is a let down for me. I need two working SIM slots AND a MicroSD at the same time. A "basic" version with 128GB would probably make me consider it and not need an SD. The glass body of the basic ZF3 seems impractical and I've never been a fan of glass for a phone's back. (An I the only one who prefers plastic -good plastic- over glass or metal?) The deluxe will cost more than I'm willing to pay for a phone, and will probably be too big (have not seen yet dimensions listed on any site). And the "Ultra" is way too big for me. The only thing I'm not clear is how the GPU on any I'd these versions compares to the G6430 in the ZF2.

I am a little disappointed that Asus changed the design so much as I love the look of my ZF2. I would prefer the Deluxe model but I doubt I will have the money for it. The base ZF3 would work for me but I am looking at all of my options for my next upgrade. I have a spreadsheet that currently has 15 different prospects laid out. The ZF3 is in the mix but it is not the only one in the running.
Unlike others I am more than happy with my ZF2 from the time of purchase at release through today. I picked up a ZE551KL (ZF2 Laser) from Swappa and am astounded at just how much better my original ZF2 is versus the Laser. While the ZF3 has a Snapdragon 625 vs the ZF2 Laser's Snapdragon 615 I am worried that the ZF3 would be slower than my ZF2.
The deluxe seems nice but in my opinion most people in the market for an unlocked phone aren't looking to spend $500+ for a phone, I know that's out of my budget especially with the lack of support on its previous flagship.
I may buy one but hope that the deluxe doesnt contain a speaker as cheap as the zenfone 2 which i replaced twice. Hopefully its a good speaker.
Any one know the antutu skor for deluxe ???
I read that the 6gb axon 7 is roughly $650usd but the 4gb is listed at 450usd
I'm guessing asus will use similar price point
Although I keep reading that the version being released for 499usd is 6gb/64gb. So fingers crossed that there is 4gb/64gb version a little cheaper and a 6gb/128gb a little more. It will kill me if that price announced in the conference was for 4gb version! Although they were pressing the point of it having 6g ram the whole time before flashing the 499 price tag on the screen.
I don't know asus are confusing!
Anyone want to take a guess?
