I've had my prime for 2 days but whilst charging it last night I needed to have a quick look on the web and as I gently touched the outside outside of the prime I could feel a very faint electric charge. As anyone else experienced this ?

Many have, I haven't. I have a UK Prime, most reports of this I believe are from US.
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Mine is a UK version bought at pcw on Saturday. I thought it felt a bit weird lol gonna stick my
tongue on it now and get a payout off asus lol.

That is strange, I can honestly say that I have never had this.
well this one only slight screen bleed and 2 dead pixels. gps is not working at all, the dock keys are all ok so far, so I'm debating taking it back because of the electric problem but will the next one be better or worse lol ?

I had the same "problem" with my laptop, which had the same material with the Prime.
Saying that, my prime is also does the exact same thing.
Maybe both of our mains supplies are messed up and our electronics are not grounding, let me know if you get hit with 240V?

it has posted here somewhere. Just flip your power plug the other way, then it would solve it.

Can't do that in the UK. We have proper safe guards to stop such craziness.
Your prime is shocking.

hm i hear electrons are healthy *bzzzz*
I have this on my Prime, but I have also had this on other electronic devices with aluminum faceplates or other components, such as certain stereo equipment. I wouldn't worry at all.
Yeah, they kinda made the charger ass backwards lol... I've gotta have my Asus logo upside down so I don't feel it. Tbh I think it felt kinda cool lol but something that's $500 shouldn't be doing that.

Mine does the same thing if you touch the metal body near the charger. Quite unsettling at first but you get used to it lol.

I got it as well. Just feels tiny vibrating, just like a rotating HDD.
I guess it's because the chassi is grounded and got a different potential than you.
Just checked and pcw near me have none in stock so I can't just exchange it. I would love to just be able to spend my £500 on a machine that does what it says without all the worry of getting a worst one than I already got.
Shocking with No GPS at all (I get 1 sat then drops off almost instantly), Discovered 2 more dead pixels so thats 4 in total, Only slight light bleed from 1 edge.
I love the performance and speed but am feeling like it's worth less than half a grand.

At least you haven't been getting actually shocked the past 3 days.
I'm actually getting a small shock, like static. Don't know why.

It does happen, most wont notice it as it just feels like a very very faint vibration.
When its plugged in, run your fingers over the metal kinda lightly, just brushing over it and youll feel a small vibration tingle... its normal apparently, just dont go in the bath with it

I have seen the same type as the ASUS one in a few places, they're all much of a muchness really. I really don't like the feel of the ASUS one either, call me weird, but it makes my skin crawl a little.

The source here in canada sells em, like the asus cloths but bigger. Really nice and thick, a 3 pack is like $15 or something.
I use my keyboard a lot with my tablet... Well I left it out once and one of my kids dumped water on it. So wondering if anyone out there is looking to sell one?
Thanks,

I might be willing to part with my spare. Only issue is I hate shipping so if you are close to MD maybe we can work something out?

My kid killed mine last night. Now I know your issue with shipping, BUT depending on your price, I would be more then happy to send you a UPS shipping label prepaid. All you would have to do is print it, and drop it off at a UPS store.
Bestbuy this week has the Transformer Dock for $74.99

Black dock is $49.99 but is sold out online. I wonder if BB will price match instore:

You have to go to the store to have them look up the inventory. They listed out-of-stock but actually showed 9 on-hand at the store computer.

Thanks for the tip, picked up a black one for $50.

Thanks for posting the receipt. I was going to take an ad in to Office Depot tomorrow but this will work even better. Good looking out man. It's gonna be nice getting a difference back from the $119 I originally paid!

Can someone help me out here? I would live to get the blue dock for $50. How do you guys do it exactly?
I just picked mines up yesterday and it was the best thing I could have brought. I brought th dock and a 32gb SD card for 85 together and now I have more storage then I can need for a tablet. 1tb hard drive, 16gb micro sd, 32 gb SD. I'm rollin in storage haha. I'm thinking of buying one for my wife since she went back to school, Asus completely sold me on this.
Well I just went to bestbuy and they wouldn't give it to me for $50 even though I showed them the receipt.
Is there any policy about that or anything? Does office depot price match receipts?
I'm desperate. I would love this for $50.
Thanks everyone.
Picked up, my black one.. good deal indeed.
If you used someone elses receipt I dont see why they would? you had a better chance bringing in the ad.
What ad?
Just print out the webpage that says its $50 bucks and you sould be fine. Why won't it ring up 50 where you are?
Update.
I just used the receipt posted here for a price match for the tablet I purchased at Office Depot almost a month ago and they gave me $70 + back on my blue tf300t dock. Without the receipt I would have had to end up getting them to match the $79 price. They accepted the receipt refunded me the money so I only ended up paying $49.
Thank you so very much for sharing that receipt with us. You just saved me over $70!!!
