I'm ready to order this sick tablet, i know it has a lot of issues but i still want it but my question is, which one looks better the amethyst gray or champaign gold? Should i get the 64gb or 32gb ?
i would go with the grey always a better color in my opinion and i highly reccomend 64gb version i order the 32 and wish i ordered the 64gb version because i loaded 3 movies on it on my apps some ebooks and im already up to about 16gb used. Also remeber when you order 32gb you can only use 27gb of that so with the 64gb you really get about 659gb
I say get the amethyst gray.I have the 32gb gray version & I love it.As far as the 64gb goes I would just buy a micro SD card,class 4 or 6 will be fine.
That's a funny question to ask when people can't even agree on what color Amethyst Grey really is and have compared "Champagne" to urine. If you can, try to see them in person. If not, flip a coin.
I like the green one.
This is personal. Y u no get that?
hey I am looking at a car, should I go with a truck or a minivan?
Really, this question is about as ill thought out as the OP. Don't ask questions that are personal opinion. Which color do you like better? Look at the pictures and decide. how much memory should you get? How do we know what you are gonig to do with it. General surfing, email, and general use 32 gb is great. If you want something for 1000 1080p movies then you might want to think about the larger memory. Really, I cannot believe you would waste peoples time with this kind of question.
I think in addition to the "thanks" Tab we need the "stupid post" tab
Sorry rant over
from what I hear
The grey is 10% faster than the gold. That's just how it is
Purple has higher energy than gold in the electromagnetic spectrum so it will run faster
The gold is "limited edition." It's worth more.
Plus it will get you laid.
I've seen both, the grey is purple and the champagne is more grey colored. Weird stuff, really.
I don't think the grey is purple at all
Champagne tastes better than amethysts. Better go with the champagne.
Though if it's looks we're talking about, personally I'm getting Amethyst Grey.

Platinum says hello!
I have a Champagne tablet and an Amethyst docking station, because that's the only color of each one I could get right away. Was originally planning to sell the docking station when I could get the Champagne one, but I really like the combination the way I have it now.
The Amethyst gray is kinda dark, and a strong tinge of the purple color, and works well as the docking station color (kind of "grounds" the base unit if you're using artsy talk). The Champagne color is very light, very little gold tinge to it, and a nice color for the tablet unit.
I don't think you'd be disappointed with either color

Is it just me or my computer monitor because a lot of the photos for the "Gray" version look purple rather than gray.
I ordered the Gray version but if it looks purple like the many photos that I have seen, then I may just change to the gold color instead.
Amethyst Grey has an inherently purple hue to it.
Yeah it's definitely purple, although not overwhelmingly so.
If I was a female, then the purple hue would be great.
But I am a macho man so I feel the purple hue on the tablet is a little "_ _ _ "
For those who can't decide yet in what color they want their prime.

I was able to try out the TP at my local gamestop and the purple didn't really bother me since it was more of a grey with a purple hue and the purple is very dark so there's only a small hint of it. Ofcourse it's hard to really describe it if you haven't seen the actual thing.

If a slight purple hue affects your manhood or how you feel about your sexuality then I think you have more to worry about than which color of tablet to buy.

I prefer to think of it as more of a "crushed velour pimp suit" purple, which reinforces rather than erodes my manhood.
It's gray. I examined it at my local GameStop too.. I think of it as gunmetal gray, which has blue tones in it.
It's almost the same color as the aftermarket wheels on my car.

LOL. I get the point, but gunmetal gray is pretty descriptive. Only trying to help describe it for the OP.
Primes colors are Amethyst Gray.. So would be strange if we didn't see a purple tone. And the purple is the base color with a little gray in som viewing angles.

With more real-world images coming out, it's becoming more and more apparent that the "Amethyst Gray" model is actually purple and the "Champagne Gold" is Gray.
Personally, I wanted a nice gray aluminum look, so I (foolishly?) ordered the "gray" tablet. Now that I know it's purple, this leaves me with a decision to make. Do I cancel my Amazon 64GB Gray pre-order from 11/22 and move to the back of the line for a Gold (actually gray) order?
What do you guys think? Is it annoying that the color names have no basis in reality, or is it just me?

I'd say which ever ships first , just run with it. More than likely will be covered with a case or skin anyways so doesn't really matter, IMO
The Purple in the Prime is barely noticeable.Just a slight tint.I seen it in person.You can barely tell.The gold i dont no about,but i would like to see it in person.

Exactly. Amethyst is a purple/violet form of quartz. Logic would dictate that "Amethyst Gray" would be a gray with some purplish hue to it. I would have figured everyone knew that. Then again, that'll teach me for keeping my expectations high on the internet.

I don't get some of you guys. You 'd rather compromise on a $499+ investment that you'll probably have at least a year just to get it first vs. waiting a couple of weeks to get what you really want? There's zero risk that by January you won't get exactly what you want. It's not like Asus is producing a single run where if you don't buy it now you're screwed. They expect to sell a million (which is lofty) in 2012. Once the initial wave of early adopters and X-Mas gifters get one there's going to be plenty of supply. Also by waiting a couple of weeks any early-run kinks and s/w bugs may get ironed out. Who knows, maybe they'll even start shipping it with ICS in January.
From personally looking at my Prime right now, it looks more to be grey with a hue of purple to it.
I'd see why they call it "Amethyst Gray", it's not entirely purple in person compared to the images posted online.
Went to Gamestop yesterday. Looks gray to me with no hint of purple.
Don't know if the CEO they tried to say "I meant this gray" (while pointing at a color pallet). Then the engineer said yes sir.
The CEO also said "campaign gold" (while thinking about future political maneuvers...in front of a different engineer while pointing at a lighter gray on a color pallet). Then the engineers told the marketing people...you get the point.
It is an easy mistake considering English is the second language in Taiwan.

Lol..it is definitely not a translation mistake. The amethyst has a slightly purple hue and the champagne is the exact color of champagne. I'm not a huge fan of either but they nailed the naming of the colors.
@OP: No Asus is not color blind. The colors are Amethyst Gray and Champagne Gold. If you look at the Amethyst Gray tablet and know what champagne looks like, then you should know that they are nothing alike at all. Champagne Gold is less yellow than an average champagne, but it is certainly the light color name of the two.
If you got confused by these two colors, then it is entirely your fault. There's nothing 'champagne' or 'gold' about the purple-tinted dark-gray tablet and there's nothing 'amethyst' (or even gray) about the gold-tinted silver tablet
One is gray with some purple hint to it, hence the name amethyst gray, and one is silver with some gold hint to it, hence the name champagne gold.
Personally both colors are awesome and I still can't decide between the two.
I'm glad to hear that apparently I am mistaken. I'm guessing then that bad color balance or photo lighting has created some of the distinctly purple shots I've seen.
Barry is right on the money here though. I'm not going to spend $750 (including the matching keyboard) on a device that only comes in two colors, I'm going to pick the color that I like.

I don't expect it to be covered by case when I'm using it. I plan on using it almost exclusively with the dock, and I don't keep a cover on my laptop when I'm using that.
In all honesty, I don't understand people's readiness to constantly keep their phones or tablets in cases when you use them. Everybody makes such a big deal about how thin these things are, then they go and put cases on them that double the thickness.
If you want to be an early adopter and buy online without checking before that's not Asus fault.
There is like a billion pictures, an official web site and a trillions retailers that shows which color is "gray".
Retailers are at fault here, they name their product "gray" and "gold" or "gray" and "champagne", but it's still not very difficult to take 2 minutes to check what your 499$ order will look like before ordering.
id like to see pics of these devices, because it always looked slightly purple, but it was awesome still.
I had assumed i'd order the amethyst but after seeing online photos thought it was awful so took a gamble with the champagne. It'll be interesting to see what they both look like 'in the wild'.
Still debating about getting the Note 2 but i figured I didn't see a thread for this so I would make one. What color phone did you get? From reading most have gone with the Titanium Gray but I am seriously considering the Marble White, just wondering what everyone got and why.

Picked up the white.. I like the flip covers and picked up a Light Blue, White and Grey ones.. So really the color changes easily at least the back and I prefer the white front with the covers
I went with Grey. Wife went with white. I'm happy with my choice, and so is she. White hides prints better, and Grey looks smaller and less shocking when up to the ear. Wish I could have both and swap out sim card every other day.

really I had the DNA for about a week and even though black and red are me fav colors I kinda thought the design on the DNA was a mess.
Even though i had a white s3 i went with the grey. I liked the white but the outline of the screen seemed to defined. I like when the screen is off on the grey one how it kinda blends in with the rest of the phone.
I haven't gotten mine yet. But, when I do, I will get the gray one. I prefer my electronics in darker colors. I'd have been really happy if they'd put out a cover like the original Note. But, gray will suffice.
I have the grey one.

Purple is statistically the most popular colour within males. Get the purple one.
Purple one looks more sparkly on the back due to its metalic finish
I like my Black Z2 im a metalic black, suits and ties kinda guy who drives a forein car to a forein pub to drink a forein beer but thats just taste, and that last 2 lines are lies
Purple= most attention
Black= meh

Metalic sparkle visibility

Not really, i saw a guy buy a purple one once and i just stared at him. not because its a feminine colour but because its an unusual one. Some cultures might not agree in which case then you're making a statement. Sticking out.
More flash, attracts attention, can you carry it off. how do you look with it taking a call.
attracting attention is all well and good so long as you got the latest & greatest. How long you want to hold onto the unit. Do you still want that attention after two years assuming you hold on to the device that long or longer.
White is in the same boat but to a less extent as its more common than purple. White hides fingerprints better.
Black is the most discrete and fingerprint magnet.
In the end a case will hide whatever colour but if you are thinking of a unique colour chances are you don't want a case to begin with.
Thanks for your feedback guys. All I can say if I get the purple one I will receive banter from my mates.
See, it all depends if you insist on carrying it naked. Feels good but then its the same all the time. You could add something like this which only works with black & purple.
If not, then black with any colour case of your choosing means more options. The more important thing is the bezel colour and fortunately sony has always gone with black bezels, these are the easiest to mix with case colour. Think lumias. White bezels restrict that choice somewhat.
before you decide check out all types of cases as this might influence which colour you go for.
Beware of staining. Purple probably wouldn't be too bad but I bought a white one originally and returned it within 2 days because it was stained from being in my pocket. I believe purple may slightly discolor also but not as bad.

I think white looks the best with this design (especially from the front angles, striking) but the back is a little too noticeable.
Put it this way there are times and places where i want that attention and others where i do not.
Purple is striking because of the colour (unusual) but does not compliment the design as well as white.
I have purple, and a friend of mine has black. I'm more than happy with my choice, after comparing the two

I was debating between blue or black and at the end black won just because of how crazy is the blue color. I din't have a chance to see a demo unit (available only on SEP16 where I live and I will have the phone on SEP2) but looking Youtube, reviews it look white blue or rich blue depending on the lighting. I like the rich blue but white blue with low light conditions was not for me, the trim also could be sliver or maybe even black with a little bit darker blue phone. So this time i say no to blue coral
It looks really good in real life but I am on doubt if it's not feminine especially with that golden border. If it has silver border I would say it's the best color even that Onyx Black is very sleek and beautiful - just not so special. So I am on doubt what color to choose but definitely not the silver one (I don't like shining silver phones at all)...

I found it underwhelming in real life when I played around with a demo unit. It looked far better on film in various Youtube videos.
The biggest reason to get it is because it says "look at my new phone" as there's no other phone (currently) on the market like it. Bit it's kind of like the massive demand for the gold iPhone when it first came out. Everyone wanted the color for the previous reason. Six months from now Blue Corral won't be special anymore and then it'll just be a blueish phone with pinkish trim. I use my phone for business and the only color that doesn't scream "look at me" was black.
Meh. I wasn't impressed. It looked a bit too feminine for my tastes, but if that's your thing then more power to you. I love that the metal rim on the onyx version is actually black now. It makes the phone look sleek and simple. Plus, I also use my phone for business so the black was the best (read: only) option. Not that I'm complaining, it's sexy af in black.
It's Dope ...
Usually have black devices. But got the bronze 10.1 tab on impulse: it still looks good. The iPhones that mimicked it have a pallid 9ct gold effect that doesn't look so good. So I'm going for the blue this time, reckoning that Sammy has got it right this time too. If it's too bright, it can be toned down with a black case, but I suspect the Note 7 will be classy enough to carry the colour...
I had mine outside in the direct sunlight today for the first time (got it last night) and the metal frame looks pink...I knew the blue was feminine-ish, but the pink tint on the frame DEFINITELY tops off the feminine look IMO.
Anyone wanna trade their black one for a blue one? LOL.

I first ordered titinium silver as I've always liked the color since the s7 came out but did not want the s7. My note 2, 3, 4 were all black (note 2 was really dark grey) so for sure I didn't want black. Just so I don't dismiss the blue completely, I still went to a Tmobile store to check out the blue. There was a lot of light in the store and made the blue look baby blue and I did not like it. So I told myself, blue was not for me and left. I went home and watched several more unpacked reviews and the ones showing the blue made the phone look really good depending on the lighting, and wasn't always baby blue. So after several more videos I watched of the blue, I decided to also order it. Figure if I have more time with it I'll have a better non rushed judgement on it.
Once I received both phones, I opened the blue first and fell in love with it right away. The blue inside my office is nice. I like how it switches to different hue's of blue. Now the rose gold trim does put me off a little but in my clear case it doesn't stand out as much. But it's not ugly either, just felt too feminine.
A day later I opened the titanium one. I still like the titanium, BUT compared to the blue, I now found it boring. To be fair, I gave it a few more days and played with both phones but blue being my daily. In most places I go, unless I'm outside, the blue stays pretty dark or at least not baby blue. Unless I'm in direct sunlight. Sometimes it looks bluish dark grey (which I love). I just love the different variation of blue it produces (besides baby blue obviously). The titanium does get slightly darker but it always looked bright silver in most scenarios and does reflect more light. So in the end, chose the blue.
So my thoughts....I think had I not had a chance to play with it for at least a few days in my own environment, I wouldn't have chosen it. If you are considering the blue don't judge it based on pictures, or seeing it for a few minutes, or even what others think of the color. Your best bet if you are undecided is to take it home and try it out for a few days yourself. That goes for any of the colors, not just blue.
