I'm very tempted to buy this as looking to replace my XOOM but the only thing holding me back is the screen. It's the same resolution as the XOOM, but is it any better do you know? Wondering whether it's worth getting something with a Full HD display, although that will cost more.
Thanks for any thoughts.
The screen on these is very bright and id say markedly better than the Xoom, with the dock adding extra battery life and flexibility, plus the option to add a 32gb sd card as well as a micro sd to the tablet itself i think this is a top deal... i dont need one but im trying to convince myself to buy one.... i dont know why... must resist, must res...ist...
Ok cool, thanks for getting back to me. I'm just going to order a grey one now, can't justify an extra £200+ for the Infinity.
so not future proof.
You can also attach any USB hard drive, giving you terabytes if needed
Screen is bright, No need to worry about storage, 32gb on board, up to 64gb SD Card and 32gb (on keyboard) , Micro SD card (on tablet) and as said above, USB support for even more storage.
If you aren't used to a higher ppi screen I'm sure this device is great and there's no denying the storage and battery life is great.
Still It's tempting.... However, like others I'm more interested in the soon to be released T100. Full fat windows, a total game changer.

but asus are the worst for warranty, sent back a TF101 was faulty screen and they wouldn't repair due to being user induced damage. impossible as it had only just taken it out of the box. worst than that is they wanted 40 euros to return. After a few phone calls the waivered the returns and the company i bought from gave me a refund.
i recently bought a TF300 from asda, any problems i will return to them
* Poor Wifi reception (due to full metal back)
* Non-existant GPS reception (same reason)
* Shockingly poor NAND storage (very poor I/O, causing frequent slowdowns)
* Locked bootloader (unlocking notifies ASUS and voids warranty immediately)
There were a lot of good points about the tablet that I could list, but they've already been cited in the thread. The reason I list these as they were pretty much kitten-killing bugs: For all the pro's and con's, the latter make the tablet very difficult to live with over time.
A lot of the issues with reception were remedied somewhat with later ASUS tablets (Transformer line and Nexus 7), but the bad quality internal storage exists on them all, with the Nexus 7 2012 faring better due to slightly better drivers and garbage collection.
It may do the trick for some folk at this price point, so I'll vote neither hot or cold. If you can't live with the (unfixable) problems I've listed above though, I'd save my money if I were you.
GPS will not work at all without the external GPS dongle Asus provided free till last year. you could register till August 2012 to get the GPS dongle free.
I'd rather either have a Windows tablet or a window laptop, not a windows keyboard that docks into an Android tablet.
"One interesting thing is that the keyboard dock can be hooked up to an external display and used independently of the tablet display. Although, it sounds like your only option with the tablet will be Android, and you won't be able to use the display as a Windows tablet."

You've not just got back from Malta and been tasered by any chance?
Wifi and GPS are just fine with mine. Never had any problems.
I can just agree on that. The Wifi is not so much an issue so long you are not living in a too much noisy area.
But the I/O problem is a real one and can ruin the experience.
There are some tweak to reduce that problem (like getting the Browser2RAM app) and moving to another ROM helps a lot (Androwook is very nice) and brings you the last Android version (well currently 4.2 and not 4.3).
Anyway it's still a good one for reading RSS feeds, FB, Tweets and especially movies. Very nice to have a kind of laptop with 14 hours of battery to watch movies in HD flawlessly (I recommend the Dice player for that).
Far too many people get worked up over ppi and cpu benchmarks when they have little real world noticability.
Not at all, many people are commenting (and not getting worked up) on a device they have owned or had experience with. If you are happy at circa 150ppi on a 10.1 inch screen then bully for you but I'm not and so therefore no longer own the TF300T. And who has mentioned cpu benchmarks? They have commented on lag that they have experienced.
For browsing, social media, the odd game and media playback this is perfectly capable and what the majority of tablet owners want. If you want one with a real keyboard and fantastic battery life then this beats most others hands down.
A few extra ppi and slightly quicker processor are not needed for the majority imo and you have every right to disagree if you wish, but just offering my opinion.
That was ex VAT.
I've ordered it for £199 from this seller yesterday: ebay.co.uk/itm…513
Thank you to the person (citizenuk) who replied in this thread: hotukdeals.com/dea…377
Today price gone up to £229, plus £7.99 delivery
I received today, even though I ordered with a free economy delivery. Its immaculate! It came with European two pins plug. (UK plug attachment was not supplied). Did not had time to play with it yet, as it currently on charge, because the batteries on the tablet as well as on the dock keyboard completely drained. Was on the charge for a last 2 hours, but can not switch it on yet. :-(.
Impressed with a fast delivery though.
Thanks in advance
Put your clothes on now
still showing £225.97 for me, don't know where you're seeing £229.99.
