i want to buy this tablet - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I want to buy the prime but I heard that have a wifi problem and GPS i dont know what to do .
I need your help.
Buy the prime or wait for transformer 3(or other new tablets?)
What to do?
now I have transformer TF101

You should work on your English skills or offer it in multiple languages.
Choose what you want: Transformer 16GB, Transformer 32GB, Transformer Prime 32GB, or Transformer Prime 64GB. Find a store that carries it, online or locally, buy it. There are separate docks for the Transformer and Transformer Prime and you will need the correct dock; the GB's don't matter to the dock.

i am sorry i wrote this from my cell-phone very fast
i want transformer prime 32G but worth it to buy it without the keyboard and sell my first transfomer with keyboard

You should wait bro

think for your self.. why let others tell you want you want and don't want.. won't go far in life if you let everyone tell you what to do..
Now go to work..

The Prime is nice but GPS doesn't work while moving fast. If you like a sturdy metal body then get the TF201. If you want GPS, don't care about metal body and want the higher display then wait and get the TF700 (or whatever it is).
Very easy.

i neeed for home dont for fast moving

Don't by ASUS. Get Samsung GT 10.1 and you will be happy. or better yet get Apple Ipad2 and you will be amazed. ASUS TP has too many issues.

Hands-on video of TF700T

Updated with proper link. Just stumbled onto this. Seems legit, it was only linked through Tech in Style, an Asus blog.
"This will be available very soon."
I'm really pissed at Asus about this whole experience.

This shows the plastic back.
What do you guys think for the tradeoff? $100 for an uglier plastic backing (just for wifi and gps, although I'm having no issues with my wifi and gps atm) with a 1080P on a tablet with only a 10'' screen?
That **** is ugly.
The back looks terrible IMO.

They probably rushed the fabrication of that plastic back just to get it in time for CES. It looks terrible.
Here's the important question on this video. What the F**K is up with that god awful music? It's like tenth level of hell hold music.
updated video link, unlisted video.
I like how the back looks. I don't know why, the black strip looks good to me
I think it looks really bad compared to the Prime^^ Also it seems waaay thicker on those pictures. Could be due to the high resolution display? Or it could just seem that way because of the picture.
Must be the picture as they claim T201 and TF700T use the same dock mount. The dock mount has front and rear guide/stabilization rims which the TF700T has to fit between, so it must be same height/thickness.
Does anyone know must you use a sim card inside the 3G Prime to get better working WiFi or will it have better WiFi performance just by using WiFi only over the original Prime?
WiFi only is really all I need just trying to work out if its possible to use the 3G version as WiFi only.

Um... what 3G Transformer Prime? There is none at the moment.
If there was a 3G Transformer Prime, you can be sure there will be a plastic RF window for better RF transparency, like the strip the TF700T has, or the Wifi Ipad versus the 3G one.

ASUS EEE Transformer TF101

Hello,
First post from me and first question!
I am interested in buying an EEE Transformer TF101 with docking station but i want to install a different OS like a linux distro with Plasma active. I heard that some modelas of the TF101 have locked BOOTLOADERS so i will not be able to change OS.
Do you know if the Asus TF101-1B141A has a locked bootloader? How can i unlock it?
Also i was thinking of buying the expensive EEE Transformer TF201 but here in Greece they sell it seperate from the docking station
What's your opinion?
This is the wrong forum, take it to the TF101 forum. Also search it for info on nvflash with newer serials (like b80+ or b90+) and you will likely find your answer.

Choosing A Tablet

I'm looking to purchase a tablet. I want to run emulators, read books, listen to music. It also needs to be able to support sixaxis or usb api host. What would you recommend to purchase?
Acer Iconia A100
For a good choice is Asus Transforme Prime, but it is a shame that the internal gps doesn't work without the new attachment.
The transformer prime is your best bey
Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
I have the original transformer TF101, it can do all of that easily. emulates most n64/other games well, sixaxis and wiimote both work flawlessly. HDMI output to play/watch stuff on TV.
just in case you wanted a cheaper option, i heard it's cheap now. i would still recommend the prime if you don't mind paying.

[Q] asus transformer prime t201 wifi issue/jellybean

It would be possible but then you have the same issue people had with the GPS dongle. They would think it's ugly. Also it probably wouldn't be very cheap.
As for jelly bean I have no idea.

If you have a Prime with bad WiFi, either exchange it at the store you bought it from or RMA it with Asus. Asus has been pretty good about exchanging Prime's that experience bad WiFi.
There is no point to making a "work-around" product to deal with an issue that only a certain segment of Prime users are experiencing. It is better to just get a Prime that works as it should.

[Q] TF201 dock or TF700t dock?

Hello,
I've had my prime for awhile now and I"m thinking of getting the keyboard dock for it. On Amazon they are selling both the original and the tf700 one and on the tf201 they link to the tf700 saying it's the newer version. The new one claims it's compatible - which one should i get? Are there any major fit issues using a prime in the new dock? I've seen questions/discussions about the reverse (Infinity in a tf201 dock) but couldn't find anything on this.
Thanks,
Brandon

I recently bought the kybd dock for the TF700 the box stated that it would work with both, and it does. It works perfectly with my TF201. So the answer is yes it will work with your TF201.
Dock for tf700 has smaller battery - 19.5Wh vs 22Wh

I have been having a hell of a time tracking down a tf201 dock. I finally found one on an online retailer, but the damn thing doesn't work. I have to send it back and they may not have anymore stock.
Anyway, I am very interested in information about the tf700 dock. I've read that it is either slightly tighter or slightly looser than the tf201 dock (can't remember which). Do you have any comments about this?
Funny this thread just pop'd up I was thinking of the same question. I was going to wait till black friday to hunt one down at a cheaper price but just yesterday tried to buy one of the ASUS Transformer Infinity TF500 / TF700 Mobile Dock - Amethyst Gray. amazon had it for $128.00 but none were in stock and when I made the purchase at that price they cancelled my order stating "they were unaware when they would have more in stock" ???
So I went to Newegg purchased the ASUS TF500-DOCK-GR Docking Station (Compatible w/ TF700T) - Gray, which shipped today but now there out of stock. I guess I snagged the last one. Wondering why Newegg model number is TF500-DOCK-GR? I guess I'll let you know which version it is when I receive it and how well it fits. I'm hoping its the newer version.
Have you received the dock yet? I was trying to find some informations about it but there is nothing on Asus web about tf500t...

See this thread if you are looking for an original TF201 dock. Office Depot still has them and they are $99. I just bought one.
