Not sure who is in my area but I work at a Target store located in Harvey,LA. We got some of the Asus Dock Keyboards in, like 6 of them. They are sitting on clearance for 104.99
Seems like a good deal, I have the Acer Iconia A500, or I would get one for myself.

Lucky... I live in Michigan and I was just at 2 Target stores looking for other stuff. I did check for Transformer but neither stores had any tablet, dock, or keyboard. I do want to get the dock, both for extra battery life and keyboard.
We only a sale the transformer online. It was an accident that we got them in the store.

Do you happen to have the DPCI for it? That way we can check online to see if it's available in our area.
Thanks, OP!

thanks primus123, I may have to make a trip on the westbank for that.
I got mine TF101 docking in Taiwan last week. Which is around NTD2900. Which is around USD99.8

My G-Tablet had the horrible hissing audio problem so I took it back to my local staples for a refund. Amazingly enough they took it even though I bought it in November.
So what should I get next with my staples credit... They have the Moto Xoom, Blackberry Playbook, and will soon have the Dell Streak 7 and Acer Iconia Tab.
Buy my new in the box Gtab of course. #2 of 2 I got from woot.
I thought staples pulled these puppies months ago.
They did... I bought it 6 months ago
If you can Wait for the Samsung 10.1v
Ive had a play with it and its prob the perfect tablet ever.....
Size/Wieght/Screen/Design
Its really good.
Only bad thing is no USB or Sd card slot, it has the dock connector for those things.
I think the Asus Eeee Transformer with keyboard dock for $550 is pretty sweet.
I am leaning HARD toward the Iconia A500
I would love the Asus Transformer but Staples is not carrying it and they gave me store credit.
Currently leaning toward the Acer Iconia

Holy moly, they took it back after 6 months? Cool!
Yeah I was quite surprised. I checked online with their Chat Support when I was at work and then returned it on the way home. If that didn't work I was going to have to go through the lengthy repair process with US Merchants.

There are a lot of stores that will take back products without receipt. I used to work at office depot about 6 years ago and we would take just about anything back without receipts. The catch is that you get store credit and that you get the lowest value for the product in the system. So if the device was on sale at some point you get the sale price in a refund.
I actually had the receipt... I was just surprised they took it back after their 14 day return period.
After Gtablet - you should get the Asus Transformer - Iconia is too heavy, too thick and their stock apps are not that useful.
I could see myself with Asus Transformer without rooting, nvflash, backup/flashing/re-flashing..etc.
Even though I will keep my Gtablet for the life of $100/2 year Accidental damage and good for my 3-year-old down to play games on it - anything happens to my Gtablet within 2 years even my daughter breaks it - I will get the brand new gtablet or equivalent!
Howver for myself, Asus Transformer will be my next Android tablet - looks so cool and almost no need to download anything else - such Polaris Office, stock widget, stock youtube widget, calendar onscreen rolling...etc and MyNet, unlimited cloudstorage - patience, patience and patience - Sept 1st will be good time to buy - at that time, the tablet maybe $349
And who knows 4 more months - XDA will have Gtablet ROM HoneyComb 3.0 ....
thx
I voted Playbook, but I've been following it since day one. Got the chance to mess around with it a bit at Office Max and fell in love. Seemed like such a durable, well-built device. Just hate how it loads web pages rather slowly :/

For the price point wouldn't it make sense to just buy another G-Tablet?
Unless you don't like it?

Well I have Staples credit and Staples stopped carrying the G-Tablet.
I voted Dell, because it makes teh bar graph look better.
Pretty much any HC tablet would be nice.
Im looking forward to the sony tablet... whenever that is.

So next month I'm going to mwc and need to be blogging and writing word documents, I can't be bothered to take a heavy mbp so I was thinking of buying the transformer ..
Good investment guys? Also is it as nice to hold as the ipad is?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
As nice to hold? Go to a store and try... How can we decide how it holds for you?!
And no, not a good investment in the sense that it'll prolly decrease in value within months... But yeah, it's still a great tablet and combined with the dock suitable for the things you want just fine. Dunno about how suitable it is for extensive working like that.
Awesome tablet bro but would never call a newly released gadget a good investment, cash wise that is ;#)
Yeah bad wording on my behalf.. I've ordered one anyway! Only reason I asked about hololding was the old transformer had sharp edges
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
No, terrible investment.
But great toy =)
Picked one up saturday myself. No complaints so far. FYI Office Depot has some Docks / Keyboards in stock, if you consider picking one up. Let us know what series you got and if there are any issues..

It is definitely a good investment as long as you get the keyboard. This is the main feature, in my opinion, that puts the Prime ahead of any other tablet out there (including the iPad). The SwiftKey X keyboard is great when the keyboard dock is not attached, however there a few bugs with SwiftKey and some Android apps out there (Polaris Office is virtually unusable when using SwiftKey X to as your keyboard).
I had the Prime for a week and a half before I could finally find the keyboard dock and I can say it is truly a great experience with the dock. Even without the dock the thing is amazing but the full sized keyboard, gesture enabled track pad, USB port, extra battery and SD card slot really turn the tablet into a true 'laptop' like experience. The keyboard and track pad are very responsive as well, which was something I was worried about as I have used cheap netbooks/laptops before where the track pads were terrible and the keyboards had a noticeable lag. I have had a few random reboots which would be my only complaint, so if you play games or are writing a long document be sure to save often just in case.
As far as the thing dropping in price after a few months, I do not think this is going to happen. ASUS has stated that the Prime is going to be sold along side the TF701 and the 701 is going to be marketed as the step up model. If you look at the original Transformer that was launched 10 months ago, it is still being sold for 450 bucks (for the 32GB version). Sure, over time the Prime will drop in price but I don't think that is going to be anytime soon.
Yeah a TFP + dock + mouse = great for blogging, assuming you'll be blogging directly onto the website.
As for word documents, you may have to buy an office suite app. It comes with Polaris Office, which is decent, but I like OfficeSuite Pro, although I don't think either has a spell checker...

That's pretty much the configuration i want. gNote + Asus Prime w/ keyboard.
Let us know how it works for you. I have the Note already, waiting for the Prime to deliver in a few days.
Hopefully that combo will convince me to get rid of the Macbook Air
I love my note but also plan to use the prime at work when training staff etc.. Need portability with Internet access and documents it seems perfect!

For me it was because its a full size desktop keyboard, I needed something more portable. Also it was this price a week ago, so I guess people who wanted one jumped on it then.

in the same predicament as you. but on the bright side, the sd card I bought from them a week in advance came in without an update...
and just like that I got it today! I wouldn't really consider it a full size keyboard. it's probably the same size as my 15.6 laptops not including the num pad.extremely light. I bought it because I wanted a lighter alternative for my laptop when I go on small trips. I'll be taking my tablet and moto keyboard!

I got mine yesterday and I haven't use it yet, but it feels nice and has some nice weight to it. It feels high quality and connects with my Transformer easily. I'll definitely keep it
Wish I would have seen this sooner. That was a great deal!
I've been down with the Transformer Tablet since Jan. Bought it off Office Depot after selling a Brand New Ipad 2 I won in a Christmas raffle, and purchased the dock right after. I wanted to like this Prime...BAD. I actually started to like the Prime after I rooted it. I dont want to turn this thread into a Prime bashing because like I said. I DO LIKE MY PRIME. My only gripe is the browser hanging so often for such an expensive tablet..
Also like with any technology, things get old and new tech follows. I wanted to hear what people thought about these new Amazon Tablets coming out. I posted a few links

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8psSmkrlhE (just giving his opinion but I usually think he's pretty dead on from what I see personally...)
They're popping up all over Google if u search for them. I had a friend of mine tell me Groupon was selling the Transformer on Groupon for $299 last week. However I told him it wasnt the same as the "Prime" and ended up seeing these Amazon tablets right after. I told him the specs "supposed to be" better then the Primes. He's putting an order in and I said I'd wait til he got one to see if I'd sell my self short by selling my Prime for a lower price to get 1 or if I'm better off keeping my prime..
Curious to hear what people thought.
Just keep in mind that you won't get any Google apps on a stock Amazon device. None. Nothing from Google Play, either. Amazon has a lot of the well-known Android apps, but not all of them.
Ya like the amazon app store is actually terrible. They have like a few casual games like angry birds and such.

dude, since you're rooted install browser2ram ... it makes one hell of a difference to browsing using the stock browser. I was amazed.
But yes, there's no comparison btwn Amazon's tabs and the Prime. If you accept the Prime is not perfect in every way, hang on for the JB update before judging.
Best Buy has the black TF300T for $279. Ordered online last night, picked up this morning at 8am when they opened.
I have a Kindle Fire that I installed a new ROM on to make it an Android tablet, but I'm 60 years old and .... it was kinda small. I envied my wife's iPad for it's screen real estate. But didn't want an iPad. This, I think will do nicely.
Lol, welcome to the club. I have a feeling you're going to love your new tablet!
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
Yesterday i went to best buy and purchased 2 of these. 1 for me and 1 for my fiance. I was between this and the toshiba excite 10 and ultimatly chose the Asus because of the developer support for it. The Toshiba still hasn't been able to root yet so i didn't want to chance it. I wanted to find a device that would last me a while and would get Firmware upgrades via developers should the Asus decide to stop supporting it. Needless to say im loving it.
yay
Congratulations on the tablet. I went to Visions yesterday and got one for $278 and managed to charge it fully by noon and then drained it to less than 12% by early evening.
They charged me an environmental fee of 7.28 also + tax.
I'm pretty happy with it except for the proprietary charging connector.
I got the blue one.
Enjoy. Cant believe they have come down in price this much. I paid £400 ($650) less than a year ago
Put on CleanRom and you'll love it
I just ordered mine from Best Buy for $279 and the keyboard for $99. It was a steal.
I own a Nexus 7, so this will be interesting. Same processor though.

its not easy to root like my GS3.
Got mines the day after christmas too at best buy. They have an exclusive deal with the black model thats why it's so low. I was using an archos 80g9 until this and before that Nook tablet CM Team A, Acer A500(in decending order). This is easily the best of any tablet I've used let alone owned. I almost dont wanna use a custom rom cuz I don't wanna mess anything up lol. I love this thing though, cant wait to get the keyboard.
Hi!
For me it was a pretty well deal , purchased in august for 350E , and Keyboard for 110E !
Device is great in all respects :good:

Its actually pretty easy to flash recovery. As far as root, I just went ahead and flashed a custom ROM that was already rooted.
There are some great tutorials in here that explain step by step what needs to be done. I had recovery on mine with a custom ROM in about 10 or 15 minutes. That included all the reading . Lol.
Word from the wise, use TWRP instead of CWM.

Just got mine today from best buy $279 it rang up at $299 . I told the cashier and had to walk back to show here the 279 tag. she ended up taking the tag back to the register and saying that the offer was over but she would honor it because it was still marked as 279. Still waiting for it to fully charge. selling my nexus 7 and kindle fire tomorrow. hated not having a sd card slot.

Had a similar experience at bestbuy. I checked online the day before and it was listed at $279. Got to the store a day later and they said they were not aware of the tablet ever being priced at $279. They insisted that the price was always $299. Asked them to check the website, but that was changed to $299. I insisted that the price was listed at $279 for about a month and asked to speak to the manager, five minutes later the sales person came back a and said the manager would honor that price. Persistence pays off. So far I`m really loving this tablet, coming from a Galaxy Tab Plus 7

The TF300 is a fantastic tablet. After holding a couple of iPads you really appreciate its light weight, and after hacking away at a few onscreen keyboards you really appreciate the keyboard dock. I find I am liking mine more the longer I own it.
I got the same deal. Pretty sweet.
It's only 16gb, I guess, but I already have a 32gb SD for my phone anyway, so I can always transfer that to the tab if need be.
i got a blue 16gb on amazon for $195 after Christmas sale. i couldn't pass that deal up. then i got a black keyboard dock from bestbuy for $49.99 last week. loving this tablet and love that it cost the same as my nexus 7!
