Sell HP touch pad, buy transformer?

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.

New Transformer dual boot

Are you guys excited about this??

Not me - wayyyyy to big for my tastes! I *wish* it would have been the TF700 that could dual-boot, then I'd be excited!

ya rumor is that the next tab in the transformer line will be a android/win8 dual boot with the dock attachment so i would wait for that

I want to see the kids try to play riptide rush... and possibly fall over.

Will put the device slower... i think..

Ugh it's too small! I want a 24-inch tab! They could even call it the Asus Transformer-2ft

Trading in for the 700

I've finally committed to trading in my TF300T for the 700. I was on the fence about it because the 300 is a great device but I figured "why the hell not?". I'll have to find someone to buy my Moko case and unused Skinomi screen protector but I think overall I'll be very happy with the upgrade.

That's nice.

I wouldn't jump ship so fast.... The tegra 3 is great at 1280x800 but, at 1920x1200 it struggles with performance even tho its oced to 1.8 ghz... I would check the problems ppl are having b4 you jump the gun....

Good point. Also let the development community pick up on the device before you make that decision.

I love the tf300. For money reasons I'm in no position to upgrade. But I'm really happy with what I got now.
Enjoy your HD screen.

What did santa bring you in the way of tablet goodies?

So in my stocking, I found a 64gb sandisk ultra class 10, and under the tree, I found a Motorola bluetooth keyboard. Pretty cool that it has a mouse stick on it too. Gotta love Christmas new gadgets.

Be careful with that keyboard/doc accessory. Mine cracked the screen on the tablet. There aint no space between the glass and touch pad so it cracked :crying: . Asus warranty was worse than useless. Save the trouble and put a couple of small sticky felt pads on the keyboard to assure space between the keyboard and screen.
Good Luck Bro

With the felt tabs, are you talking about issues when the tablet is docked and it's closed? Or that the tablet is to tight in the hinge part? I'm having a hard time understanding where I should he putting these felt tabs. Thanks!

i am pretty sure he means after you attach the tablet to the keyboard and if you fold it up too fast/hard the screen of the tablet hits the keyboard too hard, and could possibly crack the screen
walmart sells all kinds of different things you could stick to the keyboard for protection like the guy above recommends
but i have also heard that people crack their screens from the stress of folding them up in the docking station
(my docking station is refurbished and feels pretty loose)
but if it cracks you better believe ill be posting pics and cussing about it

I just bought a new keyboard ready case and a screen protector. I'm loving it so far but I could see why people need to buy those felt tabs. I'm getting those too. This thing is pretty nifty considering I'm updating from a Dell inspiron 1501...

The problem was when it was docked and closed. The glass got little poc marks in the glass from the plastic surface by the touch pad mouse. So stick them on the front corners opposite the hinge. Stick them on the plastic surface. The little felt pads were something I had laying around. They are round and about 1/2inch in diameter. Maybe 1/8inch thick. They are sticky one side.

looking from the top with open hinge and tablet inserted:

New Portfolio Case
Santa was very good and he sent a new Portfolio Case by Tuff-Luv for me in my stocking!!!

santa got the wife a nexus 7 and me a pc i5 cpu 8gb ram 2tb hdd and 2gb graphics sweet as oh and some screen protection for my tf300

[REQUEST][DONATION] Asking for some kind soul to help me out :)

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.
