Hi, wanted to know which one you recommend, i already have the tf201 but it have the normal problems like wifi/bt/gps/random boot-loops/browser crashes.
I was offered to replace to the tf300 but declined due to the fact the tf201 is twice more powerful, now i got offered to switch to the tf600 which i just now isn't an android at all and uses windows. is it possible to put android on it? is it more powerful then the tf201 and how stable is it compared to a laptop...
I prefer android myself due to my line of work but if that does all the prime can do and even better just without having android i don't find it to be such a big problem.
Would be happy to hear from people who have tried the tf600, also some info about specs could help i didn't find it in the Asus site it shows some different Vivo types which are much more powerful then the tf600, some say it got a tegra3 processor while others say its the cortex-A9 and others Intel® Atom™ Z2760 Dual-Core. wanted to know maybe it got the prime back plate problem?
P.S
is it possible to add android on this tablet? it got a windows RT on it[the tf600]
Thank You.

whats ur opinion abt tablets? i would like to purchace a new tab ( 3g option is a must). i am confused ipad2 or samsung or asus transformer....any suggestions?
Edit:just heard Acer A 501 has 3G..hmmm and has roms in xda...well then i lk no further
if you plan on hacking the tablet, dont get an ipad. you can jailbreak it, but afaik you cant overclock it or flash any roms. ive read on xda that the transformer can be overclocked to 1.8 ghz (but dont take my word for it). you should stick with android if you want all the customization.
if you dont plan on hacking it, well id still get one of the other tablets, especially the transformer which, i believe, has the best specs out of the three of them
There has been some discussion, but none since the Consumer Preview came out about being able to get Windows on a tablet such as the Gtab which is a Tegra2 chipset.
Does anybody know if it is even possible to get Windows on the Gtab at any point without a specific bootloader for it? With Android being more open than Windows we can tinker and change it far more than we ever will with Windows so I am not so much as asking if it is being done as much as I am asking if it can be done. And then if so if anybody is even looking at doing it. I would love to take a Consumer Preview copy and try to install it on my Gtab just to see if it would work but I don't know enough about tablet technology to even start, desktop on the other hand I'll get working, but not with a tablet.
So after all this, if anybody is willing to assist in trying this I am will to test it out. I have 2 Gtabs and I am willing to put one up for testing, but I want to do the testing so I can learn if anybody is will to teach.
IMO Never

gTab doesn't come close to meeting the min hardware specs that Microsoft has published for Win8 tablets (screen res, hardware buttons, storage space, UEFI support, Bluetooth 4.0, 720P camera, magnetometer & gyro, etc). It is doubtful that any modern Windows version will ever run in the 512M of memory the gTab has. In addition, MS has also said that Win8 Tablet will be tied to hardware (you won't be able to go to your local PC store & pick up a copy to install on any old tablet). The vendors will tie Win8 to their specific hardware & that is the only way you will be able to get it.
FYI, the Win8 tabs that were given out at BUILD had an Intel core i5 processor, 4G ram, 64G SSD, 1366x768 display, Wireless N, & 3G.
With android, devs have access to os source code that helps them to be able to modify android to the varying hardware. In the case of Win8, I don't believe you will ever see MS release source code which would make the task of porting to an unsupported devices next to impossible. Just my 2 cents.

I'm really interested on finding a 7 inch version of the Prime. With or without a dock is ok with me. I'm mostly looking for the quad core tegra3 with the quality feel of the Prime.
I've seen rumors of a google collaboration, but is that the only hope that I have? Also, as much ad I would love a keyboard dock it's not required for my purposes.
I'm trying to help the opentablets.org guys get Plasma Active working on the Prime and would love to add a 7 inch version to experiment with.
Thank you all in advance for your help. And I sincerely apologize if I've overlooked this question being answered already as I've been unable to find this info.
Google.
Sent from my tf9001 with XDA XD.
I was curious if anyone had any idea if the Prime would be able to run Win RT when released. I think it would be awesome to have access to both systems on this hardware. Hey the Asus Tablet 600 has a Tegra 3 also.
Given how the Prime struggles to run Android properly, I wouldn't place much hope on it. Certainly Asus wouldn't be supporting it. They're too busy as it is trying to fix up the Android experience.
Maybe the XDA devs will come up with something...

From what I understand, the Asus Tablet 600 basically a Transformer Prime, except it has double the RAM. So, I'm certain it would run on our TF201s, but the problem is Win RT is only available installed on new devices. You won't be able to buy a disc or download it from MS like Win 7 or W8. If someone were to somehow extract the image from a device, say the 600, I'm sure it would be more likely than not that it would run on our tabs.
I'm also hoping for this to happen. Dual boot would be sick, but I might even replace Android with WinRT if I had to. I'd probably go back and fourth between OSes if it weren't too complicated.
Fingers crossed
from what i have read, windows rt would require a different bootloader.
so there is basically no chance it would come to the tf201
Reading so much things about Chromebook that I want now test by myself but which one should i buy...Acer R11, Asus flip, HP 14 ...lenovo ?
I'm loosing my mind... Could you help me to choice referring your experiences
Thanks
Asus Chromebook Flip because it has support for Android apps from Google Play Store.
older refurbs can work well
This might not be the direction you wanrt to go, but I liked the acer c720 (refurb).
Successfully ran crouton (trusty( on it (more like "briskly walked" crouton on it).
The version I had could not be reasonably upgraded from 2 GB of RAM.
I found a page about upgrading acer chromebooks, you can find it by searching for "How to upgrade the Acer C7 Chromebook" (i.r. noob, thus no link)
I then found an older c710-2834 (higher clock on previous-gen celeron), swapped in an SSD and added RAM to the spare slot.
I ended up with an ultraportable with 10 GB DDR3 and a 240 GB hard drive that actually runs crouton (occasionally even sprinting), at a very low cost.
The caveat is that the slightly more power-hungry processor along with upgrades trade off some of the battery life that the c720 had.
Whichever way you go, I hope it works out well for you.
Thanks for your answer... Asus chromebook flip is not available in France.... Only amazon us but no azerty keyboard... So the last one Chromebook out in France is Acer r11 with better CPU and same versatility.... Tablet mode, PC mode and one another.... It cost 299€
I don't know if chrome os will be fine for me but I'm searching for something different....I also saw that chrome os could be installed also under a raspberry pi 3.... So may be I could try this os under this device before buying one real Chromebook....
The new way to run android apps in native is interesting

If you have an old laptop sitting around, load CloudReady Chromebook clone software on it. I have a Dell 3010 Chromebox and I have CloudReady loaded on an old Dell 1545 laptop. CloudReady is nearly identical to a Chromebook. At least you can get the feel of a Chromebook before buying one.

The HP Chromebook 11A is a good choice. It has got a great design and a powerful mediatek processor.
Yeah even I was reading about this Chromebook today. Great choice for budget users tbh. If you're still looking for a good chromebook, I'd also suggest the Lenovo Duet Chromebook. Both have fab mediatek chipsets and are under Rs. 26K. The Acer Spin 311 is good too.
