Hi guys i just want to know which one should i get? The TF300T or Nexus 7?
The tablet will be used for gaming, movies, web browsing and youtube.
If it was just for that I would go for the nexus. It's cheaper and more portable.

Thanks for the help!!!!!!
If someone wants to put their opinion go head will help me alot to choose!!!!!!!!!!
Nexus 7, direct updates from Google, if your interested in development, there are guides written just for nexus. And now ubuntu.
But if your only using your Tablet like a Normal human get the TF300T because of the bigger screen.
I would go Nexus.

Well, N7 has less problems with hardware, better software updates and more development - only reason for TF300 is 10 inch screen and a dock (=external harddrives with movies, mouse etc.)
In my opinion 7 inch tablets are a bit too little to surf, but if you think it's enough you should definitely go for a nexus 7
Thanks
Thanks guys for your help i think i go with the nexus 7 but again, if someone wants to put their opinion go head
Depends what you want to use it for and what other devices you have. If you already have a smartphone then I dont see a reason to get the N7. I'm currently looking for a decent laptop replacement, so for the the TF300 is the clear choice.
Thanks
Thanks, but i said how i will be using the tablet, and no i don´t a smartphone.
but thanks anyway
I had this same dilemma during boxing week, but when the tf300 dropped to$280, I had to go for it. Bigger screen, great camera on the back, better camera on the front, sd card slot, and if you are comfortable with flashing roms it is easy to keep it up to date with the latest and greatest updates that Android has to offer.
It is a no brainer, nexus for sure. If you aren't the type who feels like flashing new Roms everytime a new version of android comes out, the nexus is perfect. What more can you ask for? It's a steal.

Well I have owned a TF700 and a Nexus 7 and it's a no brainer. The Nexus 7 has been sold!
The screen is too small for doing anything useful on the nexus 7. Web browsing is not good at all. It;s like using a large phone at times. I didn't enjoy the 7" format. Book reading was nice but other than that .. pah!
The only real benefits I found to the Nexus 7 were around portability. Other than that I would recommend the transformer every single time. It has expandable memory, larger screen, keyboard dock, ....
i'll chime in. i've got the tf300 and a friend has the nexus 7...if i were to do it over again, probably still get the tf300 because of the keyboard dock, love the battery life, full keyboard and bigger screen, i have a SGSII and it covers me when i need something portable, but for tablet i want it larger.
plus really looking forward to ubuntu touch on here as well, i think it could be awesome due to the dual nature of the dock and tablet, could be the best of both worlds, but we'll have options i guess
I had the same dilemma. I played with a nexus 7, it's good but it's too small for watching movies and web surfing. If you watch movies once a week maybe .... but watching frequently will be more difficult for your eyes.
I heard that some people were complaining about lags or so. Mine is really smooth . For the money I paid for it I'm more than happy - 299euros without the dock (they didn't had qwerty layout, only qwertz ).
I chose tf300 because of the bigger screen and external dock. It feels a little cheap here and there , but I would choose it again . Oh, yes, with the dock you also get support for ps3 and xbox controllers . Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have both of these tablets and have to say that I use the Nexus 7 a lot more frequently. Its just easier to handle and play on if you are lying in bed holding the tablet up and whatnot. The asus TF300 is good for its keyboard, but I only find myself using it when I need it for school, writing a lot. So I'd say, if you aren't writing lengthy emails or essays or sketching with a stylus, then your best bet is the Nexus 7. The asus is good for creating content rather than absorbing, and I find that the TF300 is a bit laggy compared to the Nexus which is already running the latest version of android (4.2.2) and will get updates more frequently.

Hello, TF'ers. I'am asking a simple question for those who love their Transformers but for some reason is lusting after one of the other tablet's. Please list the tablet you wish you could have and why.
Thanks.
I have my TF101 and I'm happily satisfied with my purchase.
I love this thing. Nothing else comes close.

Love mt TF but I always wonder if I would love the Acer Iconia A500 better.

I am looking at the thrive... if I know what kinda of glass it will have I would order one.
More than happy with my TF'er. Tried the Zoom, tried the Ipad2 but neither come close. I'm mildly interested in the GT 10.2 to see what the fuss is about but the lack of SD card immediately puts a dampener on it.

As a launch-day Pre purchaser who converted to Android in January of this year, I have to admit that I'm intrigued by the TouchPad. webOS really is SOOOO much better in terms of multitasking that I'd love to have it on a tablet.
However, there are three things that temper this notion. First, webOS does not and likely will not have the apps that I need for quite some time. The TouchPad won't even have Office document editing out the door, which is simply ridiculous. I can't believe that Samsung can completely redesign their tablet and release it in a few months, while HP can't get a single freaking app written that's absolutely vital to their product's success. Really, webOS made me promise myself never to buy something for a feature that's "coming soon."
Second, until a tablet has a keyboard dock as functional as the Transformer's, I'd have a hard time switching over. There's simply no better device for straight writing (i.e., just laying words down on the page) on the go. If HP releases a similar hybrid device someday, I'll think about it (assuming the apps are there), but Transformer is just a great all-around mobile device.
Third, while webOS is a nice OS in many ways, I'm disappointed that HP didn't design it to make better use of a tablet's screen size. Ultimately, webOS 3.X is just a blown-up version of the smartphone OS, with the same number of cards showing, only bigger. They could have done so much more with it. I really like how Honeycomb's screens can provide so much useful information at a glance. I often just turn my TF on, check to see if I have any emails, upcoming appointments, what the weather's like, etc., etc., and then just turn it back off. It's like a dashboard for my life, and so far no other tablet OS comes close in this respect.

Love my Transformer... But wish I have an iPad only due to the vast number of case options available. However I'm looking forward to receiving my multi-angle rooCase.
I don't undestand why you would want any other tablet (at least any other android tablet)
The TF offers everything all the other android tablets offer PLUS MORE... Anything else would just be a downgrade.
the only thing I'm lusting for currently is a fully functional Netflix app. I really love to watch movies quietly at night and currently have to switch over to my Nook Color to do this. TF is awesome, working Netflix would make it total perfection for my needs.

The Transformer is better than the iconia. I had one, the screen on it sucks and it weighs a lot more. The only things it has over the transformer are the aluminum body (I actually prefer the transformer's body but most like aluminum that I've talked to) and the speakers have more bass. IMO the transformer wins hands down.

Yep the grass always seems greener on the other side. I'm lucky enough to be able to try them all out. I've got the Asus Iconia, the Transformer, and iPad 2 already, and the Galaxy 10.2 is in the mail. Starting to get a better profile of how I use them. Want to copy your camera photos to the tablet? Something with an SD slot will make you happier. Have movies on an external USB hard drive? Having a standard USB port will make you giddy if you want a movie off that drive to watch on your tablet. These emotional highs are momentary moments though, and 99% of the time I'm just playing games, reading email, checking the web, facebook, youtube. Every tablet does these fine, and during that time I appreciate the lighter ones. They all have a way to add a keyboard to them. Bluetooth is easy, especially once you've paired a keyboard. Apple and Samsung have $69 keyboard docks for their thin tablet dock ports. You pay more to get the Transformer's keyboard dock, but you get a far better integrated and multi-functional add-on for your money. Hooking up to these is an inconvenience of varying degrees. You are not likely to have the iPad or Galaxy keyboard docks with you when you leave the house, so they suck. Good bluetooth keyboards are always wider than these tablets are, and as such less likely to fit in the same case with your tablet. If you've got a case for your Transformer, it is likely for netbooks and will hold both the tablet and keyboard together. So if you prefer a physical keyboard to an onscreen one, the Transformer is clearly the standout choice. You have to weigh that importance though, as that keyboard dock doubles the total weight you'll be carrying.
I've been working on a showdown between these tablets for my blog. Easy enough to ding this one and promote another for a slot or port or not. Not sure the small time these features come into play will aggravate a user enough to choose ports over weight/looks though. Money obviously play a role, as the difference between the Asus and a full set of features with its dock and an iPad with all the same features via add-ons is huge. It help that the Asus starts out $100 under the iPad. Samsung is certainly brave going head-on with Apple, I'll give them that. They must be thinking that iPad buyers didn't mind no MicroSD or USB ports, and millions were sold, so microSD and USB ports don't really matter. They might be right. Time will tell if they sell more Android Honeycomb tablets than Asus. I can't see them ever catching up to iPad sales though, with nothing to add value to iPad prices. Pay that much and you might as well get an iPad. JMHO.
I am a very happy Transformer owner, everything else (at the moment) on the market, even the ipad 2, would be downgrading.
I love my ASUS transformer too.
However, if I had to pick another table between xoom or samsung galaxy v2 10.1 or iPad.
I would get the Samsung Galaxy 10.1, I checked it out at Best Buy yesterday and it was pretty nice. No lag at all either and it was very responsive.
Sometimes my transformer feels unresponsive, and it lags but it could be due to my tons of widgets on the home screen.
However if Samsung did have a keyboard dock like transformer, I would hop on it however I heard their updates were lacking and slow to be released.
Though I like how its lighter, thinner the transformer, and looks a bit nicer. Also I enjoyed the PLS screen as it also had more VIBRANT colors then the transformer.
So i was wondering if any of you fellow a500 owners decide to upgrade this year what tablet it might be...
I love my a500 but i will be upgrading this year as i love new tech toys
Currently i see 4 potential suitors. They are...
Obviously the Acer a510 10" quad core t3 ics tablet
Acer a700 HD 10" t3 ics tablet
Asus prime HD (better front camera and higher res screen than current prime)
Finally the only dual core device the Samsung note 10.1 just because i own the phone and know the potential and unique features this offers! (Better for business, email, notes etc... not as good for games as t3)
Please share your thoughts .

I don't think I will be buying another tablet for years now. I use my A500 so rarely, and I want to be able to slap it in a dock and actually be able to use it for desktop-computing, something that none of the current tablets offer. Tablets are horrible for gaming, so even the improved performance doesn't mean anything to me.

yeah i really wish all the big companies would add the usb controller parts into their games, I look at some of gameloft games and go that looks good, by a fps with touch controls never work well.
Onlive with the xbox controller I got is really nice, granted if your near a router
I will buy a windows 8 tablet.
I have an A501 right now but my next one is going to open source, whether it is a linux or android it will have an open source operating system or at least be capable of it.
I have been shopping in China for days, looking for the perfect Tablet...
Must be open source or capable (unlocked bootloader & source available)
10 inch capacitive screen
integrated 3g and phone capable
USB host
HDMI with docking
8hr battery
Wifi & full bluetooth capable (HSP HFP SPP, HID)
I'm only using mine for reading books, some web browsing and web demoing to clients. I don't really have much need for it otherwise, but a Windows 8 tablet I would certainly buy when it's out.
Buying another android tablet does not make any sense, to me at least.
Android is great and all, it has good apps too.
Another Android tablet with better specs? It is still android!!!!!! you will rarely notice the difference between Tegra2 and 3.. ( Unless you download some games only to see a difference).
I'm not interested in Apple's iPad either, not at all.
So the next tablet? Windows 8. Most apps will not be optimized for touch, even Office apps, but does it matter? Well, using those apps won't be as easy as using Android apps, but they can actually replace a laptop!!!!!!
So, the next time I'm in the market for a laptop, not a tablet, I am going to buy a Windows 8 tab that has a dis-connectable keyboard. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback you all have valid points. I was only stating t3 has better game performance and support over the exynos in the Samsung. Personally i don't game alot. But android tablet games are coming along way fast!
For me the reason for upgrading is in a few months ill be fixing my a500 in my truck as a stereo headunit media center. So I'm going to need /want something new.
Windows 8 might be an option but haven't look into it much. Still won't be released till end if year correct?

I do not know of one single app that will not run on the Iconia a500. Its just coming up on a year old 450.00 device . i will be using mine for a few more years atleast..
I really still enjoy my iconia and with ICS its even better.
I don't plan on upgrading from my iconia until jelly bean is mainstream. By then I think the tegra 2 will start to feel older and slower, and my battery won't have as good of a charge.
And keep in mind ICS isn't mainstream yet

I'll start by saying that I really do love Android and despite what anyone says, I do think it's only getting better and is definitely going places.
That being said, I believe my next tablet may just be a Windows 8 tablet...that is of course if they are in the same or a similar price range as Android tablets. It won't be this year. Well, never say never but I highly doubt it will be this year. More than likely next Summer is when I'll be looking.
Currently my A500 does what I want it to, I use it almost daily for everything and I'm very happy with it. I believe that similarly, I would use my Windows 8 tablet in this way with an added bonus of having it be synergistic with my desktop and notebook. That's really the only reason.
I would give it a bit of time - there are apps on Android that aren't currently made for Windows that I want to use and I'd like to see how popular the Windows Store gets with these apps and if they will be free or the right price. I'd also have to see how fluid the OS is on whatever tablet I was interested in. If everything meshes well and I like what I see/use then I will def. be going to Windows 8.
I'll get another Android tablet IF Windows 8 Tablet isn't the experience I expect it to be...again, more than likely sometime next year. Right now I'm quite happy with the A500. The top requirement will be (once bitten, twice shy) that it sources updates directly from/through Google and isn't skinned - so likely some kind of Nexus Tablet, lol.
There's nothing the A500 can't do right now. With our talented Devs bringing us ICS, it makes it even better. All the apps work as they should and all functions work as they should or better. I don't see myself upgrading until the next series of Iconia's get released.
That being said, if HTC smartens up and brings out a 10" tablet with an unlocked bootloader and S-OFF, I may have to snap that up. Abit of an HTC Fanboy at heart =p
I ordered the new iPad on March, 11. I will get it on 5th April.
Thats my next tablet.
I'm sure you have been forced. We all feel very sorry with you
my tablet is only for internet surfing. The display and the battery are better than any android device.
If there are Android tablets in future with stock android (because of fast updates without custom roms), 8h battery time while surfing or watch a movie and 1080P resolution or higher I could sell the iPad and get this new android tablet. But in nearer future I don't think, that this will happen.

Hey guys, I just ordered my N7 tonight & sold my Transformer Prime to a friend. I've been lured by the portability of the 7' screen size, because I find myself carrying my Prime much less often because it's just not quite portable enough so I use it mostly at home, and I prefer a tablet for an on the go solution.
I was becoming fairly frustrated with the Primes glitchy software(I went through 3 of them), and I know that no tablet is perfect, but the reboots, freezes, & random lag was pretty prominent. I also love the Nexus brand, so I've been admiring the N7 since it was announced! I'm wondering if there are any other users that are came from the Prime to the Nexus 7 & what your experience has been like? I know I'll miss HDMI out because I did use it fairly frequently, but I have other phones & devices that are capable of doing the same. I'd like to hear a comparison from another Prime owner who has spent some time with the N7. Thanks in advance to anyone that can offer their experiences & opinions! I'm really looking forward to joining the forum, I love xda!
Bump, anyone?
Now that I started reading the forums, I'm seeing all of these threads about all the different issues ppl are having! It seems as if every thread is about some new issue or problem? I knew I should've stayed away from the forums until I received mine & verified no issues, lol. I was afraid to pre order because i've seen this happen too many times, but I don't think I've ever seen problems to this extent? I hope Google has been able to get these manufacturing defects under control by this point.
I didn't have a Prime, but I do LOVE the N7! I bought a ZAGGKeys Fkex and it has practically replaced my laptop. It's a damn good device if you can find one that isn't defective...

Thanks for your input! I honestly use my tablet more then my pc also. It's more of a convenience thing. If I can do it on a tablet, I will. I'm really looking forward to the smaller size too, it seems like this is gonna be the sweet spot for me? What is this ZAGGKeys Fkex you speak of? Some type of keyboard docking station?
I just Googled it, WOW! If I can hack usb otg capabilities, add in a 1tb flash drive, then I'll be set! I mostly use my tablet for media and this will be amazing! I'm sure I'll be sacrificing some screen quality as well as size compared to the Prime, but I really enjoy the nexus experience and I need something more portable that I can even tuck in a jacket pocket.
I had a Asus TF300 and at work used a Asus Transformer Prime for some development, and now that my N7 arrive, the TF300 is my wifes tablet and I never looked back.
The speed and smoothness of that thing is incomparable, the screen is beautiful, HD content looks awesome, it's freaking HALF of the weight.
For sure you might once in a while miss the HDMI, USB host, Keyboard and full size SD card reader. But it will be quite rarely.
Just enjoy it.
Hi, I know someone might have made this thread before but I'm thinking of buying a tablet for school mostly because I bought most of my books as ebooks and some as PDFs. However, I don't really like the idea of lugging my laptop around and figure that it would make more sense to use a tablet instead. I'm looking at the Nexus 7 mostly because of the small form factor. The 10 inchers (Galaxy, Transformer etc) seem like they would be heavy and uncomfortable to hold after long periods of time.
I've read tons of reviews, watched videos and all that. I know these tablets very well but I'm just looking to hear from people. Any of you use the Nexus 7 for school? Would you recommend it for school? If not, which would you recommend? Any other thing I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.

Having owned several different Android tablets now, I can safely say that the Nexus 7 is on another level compared to everything else. It's way faster than my Transformer TF300 and much easier to take places and hold. I read with mine a lot and my arms never seem to get tired from holding the Nexus 7. Unless you plan on also writing all your papers on a tablet, the Nexus 7 is the best choice.
I have tried the original iPad, iPad 2nd gen, and the Asus Transformer TF101 for reading, and like you said, over time it back comes uncomfortable to hold the bigger tablets.
Now that I have the Nexus 7, I find myself reading on it long periods of time without fatigue.
But it still comes down to your preference. Are you going to be doing anything else besides using your ebooks on the tablet? You may look into an Asus or Samsung since they have specialized keyboards to make them feel like netbooks.

N7 if you don't need to type a lot, Asus transformer prime w/ keyboard if you are typing a lot.

Honestly I learned my first semester with a tablet, it's MUCH easier to type notes on my tablet with a bluetooth keyboard than it was to write with the stylus. I think a small portable keyboard that's COMFORTABLE and not too small to be functional where you're hunting and pecking, and a case that has a flap for a stand is the way to go when you're going to be taking notes for lectures. For me, using a nice note taking app and having it record audio where I can start audio at the spot I'm studying (it knows where in the recording it was when I wrote the note) has dramatically increased my note taking ability.
I think the Nexus 7 was a great choice. I have a transformer prime, but I took most of my college notes on an ipad with a third party keyboard and will be using the N7 for the same purpose. I just use a stylus for accents and special sketch type notes.

Most touchscreens on mobile devices are capacitive. This means that there is a layer of capacitive material in the screen that holds a charge. When you touch the screen it changes the amount of charge at a specific point of contact.
There are styluses (styli?) that mimic or replicate the electrical conductivity of the human finger. This means they work on capacitive touch screens.
Here's an article on capacitive touchscreens for more info.

I love doing both on my nexus 7. Subtitles haven't bothered me at all. I as well have come from a 10 inch and like I like this smaller form much more. The screen is no super amoled but it is very clear.

That sounds great... hope i will get to choose my next device, if so it will most def. be a nexus 7.
Btw, performance on stock is good right? There is not that many chances to play with one in store so all i have to go on is youtube reviews.... but my last device had a tegra2 so this should be faster/better.
i believe you'll be completely satisfied with the smoothness of Nexus7 even on stock, especially u come from tegra2
