Is this the best android tablet?

---

I had the Prime, but took it back because of the hardware issues.

A few months later, I am looking to get a 10" tablet again. Is the TF300T the best choice?

I am surprised at the lack of activity in here.

The Nexus tablet could be cool, but it's only 7". I think I will order the TF300T, it's $530 on amazon with the keyboard.

Depends how you define "best". Do you mean the thinnest, the lightest, the fastest, the best screen, the best audio,......no. It's not.

It's definitely near the top of the bunch, but I wouldn't call it the best. That title would probably go to the Transformer Pad Infinity or whatever they're calling it. It will however give you the most value for your money.

It's essentially a Prime except 1mm thicker, a bit heavier and with a less bright screen. All the GPS, bluetooth, wifi and quality issues have been dealt with here though, plus the Micro SD and regular SD card slots are a tad deeper so the cards won't go flying anytime soon.

So while in terms of raw specs it isn't at the top of the line, it's pretty damn close and it's pretty cheap considering what you're getting. I remember last year I bought the 14mm thick Toshiba Tab for more lol.

One of the best I had, but I can´t compare it to the prime.
Fantastic Wlan and GPS, For me the screen is nearly perfekt, if you root it and put one of the custom roms out there on it it´s smooth and fast. And on the bench you are not so far away from a prime, when you OC your Tf300. So for me: One of the best for that price.

Thanks for the replies.

I have thought about it, and my most wanted features are:

• Processing Speed: Looks like tegra 3 is the best right now. I do like the processor, and I think it makes more sense to have that in a tablet vs a phone because the tablet will have a bigger battery. I see that the new tablets coming out have 2GB of ram. I'm pretty excited about that.
  
• Display: I do want to do some basic photo editing on the tablet, and look at my pics taken with my phone. 1080p would be nice, but not necessary.
  
• Hardware quality: The Prime's issues really bummed me out. I hope Asus does better with the Infinity.
  
• Updates: I was looking at the Galaxy Tab 7.7. but it's still on Honeycomb. This is unacceptable. Good thing Asus is quick to update their products.

What tablet or tablets out have 2 gb of ram? As far as I know the tf300t is the only one that has the best ram with 1gb ddr 3 ram. People were talking that the Acer a510 has ddr 3 ram but it doesn't. The Acer a700 with 1080p screen still clocked at 1.3 has 1 gb ddr2 ram that isn't out yet but pre order price of 449.99 is great. The tf700 will handle the 1080p screen much better with it being clocked at 1.6 and ddr 3 ram. But I heard it will come out next month at 499.99 for the 32gb version.
For the money and functionality you can't beat the tf300 unless you can wait a month. I think the tf700 will be a monster at 500 bucks.

You all convinced me. My TF300T is coming tomorrow. $515 with the keyboard and one day shipping.

Where did you get that price?

I did about the same but had to do some big bartering with price matches etc and multiple ads etc.

If they had released the red one first I wold definitely buy one of these and upgrade my tf101 but after seeing the infinity... I'm gonna happily wait for that

I think its the best tablet in its price category. It beats out other tablets in the 300-400$ range as far as hardware. But it'll be hard to compare it to other, more expensive tablets that are out/coming out.

You can't beat the tegra 3 and DDR3 right now.
