Next Transformer - it has the RAM we needed!

I've always blamed the TF700's lag on too little RAM. Glad to see the next version has double the memory.

I'll wish I had it, but fortunately there's CleanROM for mine.

I dont think RAM was really a big issue for the Infinity. What really needs fixed is the i/o. When folks start purchasing the new Transformer, and if it dont have better i/o, I will definitely probably go with a different tablet.

I think I'll get one. CleanRom Inheritance Xenogenesis Infinity Renewal here we come!

When is it supposed to come out?

With that nickname you're going to need a new abbreviation for the abbreviation. (This makes me have flashbacks to my time in the military, LOL!.) And you're well on your way to get at least an honourable mention for the longest ROM name in human history.

Also, I won't be able to download your ROM anymore because of the maximum path length under Windows.

Double RAM isn't going to do a bloody thing if they keep using the crap ones..

I still have 460MB RAM free right now, so why would more RAM make a difference if it lags even with free RAM?

+1, exactly
More ram would be nice, though our tf700 did not necessarily need it

Some of us have less ram on our phones and they handle apps updating just fine.

More ram would be nice for multi-tasking applications. My phone is crap for having free ram, but my tablet I have plenty, and it has the same amount of ram.

Really thinking about getting this tablet, can't hurt to have USB3.0, larger battery, higher res screen, and well new CPU/GPU at least. Though the I/O issue has to be fixed.

Quite a few reports about the extreme power drain from Teg4. Apparently not yet harnessed at all

Have a link? I'll wait till the guys over at Ars give us a breakdown of the chip before getting too worried. I'm just worried about the I/O of the device. We've seen the benchmarks of Tegra 4 paired with a fast SSD in the reference tablet, so hopefully we see something similar.

Double the ram means nothing. As others above stated, i/o is the real issue. Faster memory and a better bus are what Asus really needs.

I'm already looking to sell my tf700 in order to get the new transformer and I've only owned the tf700 for 93days

Naturally they should update the dock over time but I thought they were moving toward a universal dock for their products? I'd hate to buy a new tablet and then have to buy a new keyboard dock.

ShadowLea · Jun 4, 2013

It's not as if I can afford a new tablet, anyway.

(certainly not as I already intent to buy a Note 3.)

I'm disappointed they didnt include speakers on the dock. Would have been a good feture

KellyC · Jun 4, 2013

I wonder if there will be a version with the Tegra4's optional LTE modem...

And I wonder if the Linux OSS Grate driver will work on Tegra4 as well as 2/3. Hmmm.

If the dock has a usb3.0 usb port and the bad I/O of the tf700 effects the data transfer speeds between devices via cable. Then wouldn't it make sense for the I/O in the new 2013 transformer to be improved in order to fully utalize the 3.0 speeds

Hmmm..

MTP is slow to begin with, so it will make little difference there (my sgs3 takes just as long to copy a file).

And don't forget, ASUS is not officially acknowledging the I/O issue. I wonder if the R&D team even knows about it.

A lot of people are complaining that the new transformer pad is slacking (usb 3.0, 5mp back cam,ect..) but i think they are working to a sell resnably priced tablet rather then all the top tech and gizmos. If the rumor that it will sell roughly around 399$ for the tablet and 499$ for the full kitten kaboodle ASUS will earn some respect from me.

KinetiClutch · Jun 5, 2013

Just hope the dock for that I'd interchangeable with the current tf dock! So I could just buy the tablet itself
