Still a Buyable Device

So NewEgg has a deal on the Galaxy tab currently (30 dollars off plus 50 dollar gift card) and was wondering if it is still something worth buying. Considering the progress made with HC as is, I can only expect it to get better if/when Google releases source.
For the price, is it still something you would buy today?

I just bought mine a couple of weeks ago and have no complaints. It gets used way more than my Asus Transformer does. I love the 7" screen, perfect size for me.

Was looking at the transformer too. May I ask why? Is it too big?

Exactly. Try reading a book with a 10" device always seem to need two hands. Typing with both thumbs on the Tab vs finger pecking on the transformer. The size of the 7" is perfect for me.

I'm still looking to get one. Which version is on sale?

its worth buying if you can get a deal.
As mentioned above 7" is a major bonus. By implication though it means you really want 3G as well. When I was contracting (and hence moving around, taking a lot of different public transport routes etc.) it was an awesome travel companion. It also makes it a great ereader in a pinch.
Custom ROM it and performance is pretty good, esp. as Samsung's browser is hardware accelerated.
If its going to be sitting on your coffee table w/ wifi though, or the price is comparable to a 'current' honeycomb Tegra 2 10" slab, I'd go honeycomb/dual core. There's not much of an upgrade path for it, honeycomb is going to be an unofficial port (if at all?)
I got mine at a knockdown price and really like it. However I still wouldn't have paid RRP for it (by the same token I'm not paying RRP for transformer etc. or even ipad so duh)

Agreed... pretty easy to find on ebay or CL for $250 or less... picking up another one tomorrow for $200... Almost as good a deal as the HP TP and a lot more clarity about its future, apps, upgradability, etc.

It's still a great device. Is it the newest and latest? Nope. Will it run tons of great apps and be a solid performer for most of your uses? Sure! Now is also the time to snap up cheap discounted cases and other accessories for the 7".
I flashed the Overcome ROM on mine after I was tired of waiting on T-Mobile for the 2.3 update. That's a great ROM. Super battery life, video calling (with FFC working great) via Google Talk, excellent ebook reader, calls over Google Voice with Groove IP, etc etc.
I say this even though I also have the Galaxy 10.1. That's for lazy home use. I can take the 7" with me just about everywhere.

funny, I have the same mindset/usage pattern between my Galaxy Tab and my iPad...

I been hearing great things about the SGS2 so I set aside the cash for it and yesterday went to get it but came back without making the purchase.
When I held it in my hands I just couldnt figure out how the puny screen could be any better than my SGT. Battery life is similar, I can run similar or same applications and both can do depending on what I install from the market. With the custom ROMs my SGT OS is probably higher version, less buggy and smoother than what I would get on the SGS2. Yea there might be some new high tech capabilities but do I need it. Most likely not and at this time don't even know what they are.
So I gave up the idea of going smaller than the 7". Quite a while back I kicked the idea of going bigger than 7". I can still put my SGT in my back pocket or my jacket breast pocket and cary it with me anywhere. Try doing that with anything biger than 7".
For me there is absolutely no good reason to go for anything else for a while.

Yep, still worth buying.

New or used?
I'm looking at buying another used one for $200CDN for my GF. She prefers the Galaxy Tab over the Transformer as well.
I'm thinking about buying 3 of these for the office because of the portability. It would make a great tool for our QC department.

Definitely worth buying. Look at my signature of what I have had and look at which tab is still standing. The 7" form factor is the best. Not to mention this thing plays any video I've thrown at it. Such was not the case for the others tabs.

It seems that we are all thinking the same.
Its great product, and still worth of buying if you can find it for the right price.

Sticking with the OG TF?

So I have been reading a lot of threads recently about people debating upon the two, and just wanted to know who plans on upgrading and whos staying.
Personally I own the OG Transformer, rooted of course, and have no intentions to update, a new processor is not going to get me to give up my pride and joy!

I'm honestly glad to have a TF101 now and didn't sell it off to get a Prime. With all of the problems with the Prime (poor wifi, removed GPS functionality) I am happy to have let it pass by. That said, I am kinda drooling over the just announced TF700T.... basically a re-designed Prime to fix wifi/gps and with a 1920x1200 resolution!!! Yummy!!!

The TF Prime looks pretty half baked. By the looks of it Asus more or less released a beta product and then charged 500 bucks for it. Once problems started cropping up they announce the TF700 as an "upscale" version of the original Prime which was fraught with issues. I think I will stick to my original TF101 to see if anyone with a clue makes a compelling upgrade for me.

And the prime dock is supposed to be interchangeable drool lol

I got my tranformer in early december as a gift from my mother. I was seriously thinking about selling it and going for the prime but it's sufficient for what i use it for. Like everyone else I'm seeing a LOT of negative Prime feedback.

There are only two reasons I can see for getting a Prime if you already have the OG.
A.) You just got to have it. Just like that 2012 Lambo in your driveway.
B.) You're in need of a 32GB/$500 price range tablet with a dock and can choose between TF101-B1 and TF202-B1.
In boat B, I was still tempted to get another TF101-B1 but don't want e.g. a B80 to replace my B50.

I'm a fan of sticking with a device until it no longer suits my needs. my tf does everything I need it to wonderfully. there may be quite a few generations of tablets before I "need" to update.

Now that I have some money, I probably would sell off my transformer to get the TF700T eventually..

Asus totally rushed the Prime. Quad core is good and all but they should've spent more time on the OG Transformer. For Example, correcting the power button, light bleeding from the screen, and HONEYCOMB!!! However, in the world of business I guess you have to do everything and anything to remain relevant. I'm Sticking with my Transformer!

Indeed the prime is not even released in most countries and they already announce a new version... they just wanted to be the first on the market and rushed the product release.
ICS is released for it now only a couple of weeks after, as if a normal company wouldn't have waited 2 weeks more for a proper release and as if they didn't know the GPS was borked when they shipped out the product.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

i will make up my mind after ics update is released for tf101. HC makes the tablet slightly unresponsive and i can definitely feel the lag here and there. if ics makes all that go away, it just feel like brand new device again for me and i am happy to stick with it until either it's stolen, destroyed or sold

Sticking with the OG as well. It took me a while to get the original one without bleeding on the bottom. Now there's reports that Prime has GPS issues (or GPS is unsupported to begin with due to the unibody design), I very much like my TF101 with working GPS. This is not to ignore that the Prime has a boatload of new features including a better screen, thinner profile, better design, better cameras, better processor, etcetera.
But the TF101 works and Asus is on a tear releasing new tablets way too often, they've just announced the TF700 that probably pissed off some Prime customers.
In all, TF101 works, I got one without problems, I'll keep it until at least a year or two when the landscape has settled and I can see what's coming out or is out and then replace my TF101 with the best Asus tablet then. Selling and buying every time they release a new one is somewhat stupid IMO, especially when Asus is releasing tablets so quickly. It's best to wait IMO until your device becomes old and outdated and unsupported and then choose.

I agree. I will probably keep My transformer for about a year or so. Hell, I still have my HD2 in mint condition. I like to hold on to products until they're obsolete and not just upgraded (e.g. extra camera and memory)

As someone who has a B40 transformer (yeah an oldie) and just got a dock if i were to get another tablet i would be getting a memo. I could afford $250 as an upgrade and it wouldn't have the primes problems, would be much fore pocketable as well as have a tegra 3. Would just need to see what the dev community would be like but at its price...

Are you selling Tf101 and buying Nexus7?

Thoughts?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app

Though I would love quick updates, I plan on using my transformer for quite awhile. Unless I somehow win the lottery and all my tech dreams could become reality...just some wishful thinking.

tf101 isnt going to cut it for engineering next year so i was going to get a zenbook but i do like having a tablet around and the nexus 7 seems to be the best bang for your buck,

No interest in the Nexus, but I'll be following the release of the 700. If it doesn't have the issues of the Prime, I may upgrade.

Almost began to think about it....
Nexus 7 looks nice, and at a good price. Plus, updates straight from google sounds wonderful (although having an asus is the next best thing). However, unless it had a keyboard like the transformer, I just can't see myself making the upgrade.

At first I was tempted but I would miss the 10" screen to read. Plus I have my hesitations with ASUS throwing the Nexus 7 together in the short amount of developing time they had.

Nope .... I currently have the TF101 and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Updates from Google would be great with the Nexus 7, but I'd miss the IR blaster feature of the Samsung (currently use the Peel app with it), and right now I just have no need or use for 2 different 7" tabs. I'm planning to buy a new 10" tablet in a month or so, though, to replace the TF101.

I have a Nexus7 on order (a 16GB one, given the lack of MicroSD), but am keeping my transformer. They will serve different purposes (I believe).
If it turns out the Nexus7 replaces the TF, then I will sell it, but I am anticipating they will live in harmony...

The TF has too much functionality with the dock and size to give up. I'm considering getting the TF700, assuming it has no problems unlike the tf201 and tf101 had when they came out. I'd like to use it in college to replace my notebook, and maybe my books.
Also, Asus took care of every problem the TF lineup has had so far, even replacing hardware in the tf101 dock and giving away the TF201 gps dongle. That is awesome customer service. On top of that I have 2 local Asus service centers here, both of which have people who are willing to help and with most repairs done within 24 hours, and if they don't have the parts in stock I can keep my tablet until they come in. I doubt Google can even come close to that customer service. Give me an Asus Nexus tablet and we'll talk.

ASUS makes the Nexus 7, so your wish is granted!

Thought about it but for me it makes more sense to wait as my TF101 is working fine so far (Revolver). I take it on trips with my external SD card have access to music and shows.
Got used to the big screen, although id like to see something in between 8 - 10 inches. Hopefully the next batch of tablets from google will make warrant a switch (2GB maybe?)
The TF101 is a great device (if you exclude the software problems), hope to get a good working stable port from JB

Now I just need the nexus version of the TF700!:victory:

I thought about it, but the screen size and functionality of the transformer is much more suited to my needs. To satisfy my gadget hunger, I may buy one for the other half though. Seems too good not to? I use my tablet all the time at home, the nexus 7 is ideal to take out with you, except for the lack of 3g. Hot spots are everywhere around here though.

as much as i liked my 7" Gtab i dont think i could drop down in size.
the keyboard and connectivity are brilliant so i think the Tf300 could be on the cards at some point or see what the next gen after that brings.

I'm going to sell one of my laptops on eBay and buy the Nexus 7. I'll be keeping my TF though. - sheureka

I want one but 10 inch is better in my opinion (that's what she said).
Like everyone here said ima upgrade to the infinity instead. Although nexus 7 is really a beasty tablet

i dont think itll be worth it to throw my xformer away for like 200 with dock (guessing thats how much its worth). might just keep it on the side for kicks and giggles.
honestly i cant imagine using the transformer and a nexus 7 tho.

I've thought about it but I know I would miss the keyboard. IMO a 10" screen is too awkward for me to type comfortably on in landscape mode because I have smaller hands, although it is a nice size for general viewing and media consumption. In hindsight I probably would have been better off getting the slider since in the year I've had the TF and dock I rarely ever use the touchpad. I think 8"-9" would be a perfect size for me.

Should I buy a Xoom?

So im considering buying a Xoom since now they are priced relatively cheap. My concerns are that reviews ive read dont really paint the tablet in a great light. My question is after rooting and installing jelley bean does the performance increase, and is it worth a buy for $250?

IMHO yes and no. The best thing about the Xoom is that it is a Google experience device. It is starting to show its age and you won't get the performance of a more recent tablet. The Xoom still has the best build quality I have ever seen. I dropped it on tile once and it just got a scratch. The tile cracked lol. If you don't mind the skinning and paying a little more get the note 10.1. If you want a damn quick 7" Google experience device get the nexus 7. If you want a quality built 10" tablet for a good price get the Xoom. Once again all IMHO.

I would say, if you can stretch your budget, then no. I Had a Xoom & thought is was pretty great with JB on it. Then I picked up a Transformer tf300t from ebay & realized how old & behind the Xoom is, even with JB. Plus, the TF300 already has JB, too. Sold my Xoom for $220, & bought my TF300 for $325. Well worth the extra money.

Nexus 7 versus Transformer Prime

I've had a Prime for a while, now, and I paid a lot of money for the thing. I thought a 10-ish inch tablet would be awesome, and I thought for sure I'd eventually buy the keyboard connector. Never bought the keyboard connector, and while I'm not unhappy with a 10" screen, after getting to hold and play around with the new Nexus 7 earlier today, I really started to feel like I might enjoy a smaller tablet better. Not to mention, I had high hopes the Prime would get good custom ROM support, and for the most part, it always seemed pretty lackluster in that regard.
Part of me REALLY wants to buy a new Nexus 7, but I've kinda been spending a lot of money, lately, so I feel like I should just not bother. There's also the fact that I feel bad about buying a new tablet when the other one I have (that I paid $400-500 for...) works just fine.
I dunno... Anyone think it's worth the trade-off, or should I stick with my Prime?

I went from a TFP to a N7 and I'm much happier. I use my tablet a lot for reading and the 7" form factor is so much nicer. I just bought a new N7 last night... I've thought about another 10" tablet, but the size is just unappealing now.

I'm kinda kicking myself, because we sell them where I work, and I was very much contemplating buying one last night, but I ultimately chose not to, to give it some thought. I go to work later today, but I have a feeling that by the time I get there, we'll be sold out.

I have a Transformer Infinity with dock and loving this new N7 tablet. Do I regret getting the infinity? No, it's had a year run on it and I'm sure I can still get a nice price on it.

Yeah, get the N7 (I had the Prime and Infinity last year) Unless you are waiting for the 2013 Transformer Pad Infinity (10", Tegra 4, 2560x1600) that will be a $400-500 2013 release tablet. Asus fixed the slow memory and the WIFI/GPS connection issues that plagued that tablet. The screen is bright and at the levels that only the Prime was doing 1.5 years ago and at a higher resolution.

Heh, because I know I won't want to return it, lol.
Anyway, nah, I'm not holding out for a new Transformer series tablet, or anything, but since I paid $400-500 for my Prime, I wanted to be strict with myself and say "Okay, keep this tablet for the next 3-4 years at least". But I'm so weak and constantly tempted by new gadgets! @[email protected] lol

While basically they perform the same functions, they each have their own niche to fill. With that said buy the 7 if you find it doesn't do anything that your other one does besides weigh less and offer a smaller viewing experience then return it/sell it. If you find you like using it more, sell the prime.

Same here. I still have my original ipad1, Galaxy Note 10.1, and 2 Original Nexus7 tablets(one for me and one for my woman). Not to mention I just got me a brand new LG Optimus G Pro with 5.5in 1080P display w/ Snapdragon 600 and Andreno 320.
I got the galaxy note 10.1 and nexus7's last summer. So I'm feeling like upgrade time. Ill just give my old nexus7 to my dad. I know he'll love it. The note 10.1 still works great. I wanted a new 10in. One also but its getting to point on overkill on tech devices. Can't help it, I love new tech..lol

Yeah, for a while I thought the 7 inch form factor was dumb. Then the original nexus 7 came out and I thought, what the heck, I'll try it for that price. Ended up loving it and using it as my daily driver for both work and home.
I've owned only 10 inchers previously....archos 101 back in 2010, og transformer, even an iPad 3 that work gave me. The n7 form factor meant I could tote it around much more easily, even put it in a slacks pocket in a pinch. The new one is even better because of its thinness, not to mention the screen.
The back camera is great too...people say it's silly but I use it at work all the time....to scan paper people hand me in meetings (I don't print crap any more...hardly even bring a pen to a meeting) or to snap a pic of a whiteboard.

I bought the Transformer Infinity with the keyboard before. I used it for a few months and sold it through craigslist. End up I bought an ASUS X202E for productivity. The Transformer Infinity really disappointed me. I/O issue, quality issue, FW issue, etc.
Providing that the Transformer Infinity is very close to the vanilla Android, I would rather get a Nexus so that I can have fast update. I also feel a 10.1" tablet is a bit burden for me. End up buying the new Nexus 7 now. I am extremely happy with that.
In my own opinion, Android tablet doesn't really need a keyboard. If I am not getting a keyboard, I will not get the Transformer series.

Same here. I still have my original ipad1, Galaxy Note 10.1, and 2 Original Nexus7 tablets(one for me and one for my woman). Not to mention I just got me a brand new LG Optimus G Pro with 5.5in 1080P display w/ Snapdragon 600 and Andreno 320.
I got the galaxy note 10.1 and nexus7's last summer. So I'm feeling like upgrade time. Ill just give my old nexus7 to my dad. I know he'll love it. The note 10.1 still works great. I wanted a new 10in. One also but its getting to point on overkill on tech devices. Can't help it, I love new tech..lol
