Default upgrading from TF201 to TF700

So I was one of the unfortunate early upgraders who bought the TF201 only to realize they are replacing it with the TF700 (It's even the same price and the prime was!). I have a chance to upgrade via an exchange (I bought my prime at bestbuy and can do manufacturers warrenty exchange through them). I was wondering if there is anyone else out there who has done the same thing....does the TF700 have the same problems? any new ones I should know about?

I moved from a prime to this device and don't regret it. The problems that seem to continue here are the I/o lags, screen bleed, wifi/bt video sync, single weak sounding speaker. The wifi signal itself is better, GPS works, and recent firmware has made the system run better for many. I say go for it if you can. It would be an even exchange in price for a better tablet. You may get a device that doesn't have any problems.

Do you have a good comparison of io performance between the current updated TF700 and stock Prime, and i.e. Androwook Prime?

I don't have comparisons but there are threads in the general section where people are running those tests. The scores aren't something that concern me much to warrant me running them on my tablet.

I was able to do a manufacturer exchange on my prime and got an infinity ordered. I figured that the specs were better and the price was the same so why not. I have the accidental damage plan and BB return policy is really awesome so even if there are problems I'm confident that it will get fixed or I will get my money back......Looks like I'm moving over to this forum now.

Not interested in numbers either, just feedback...

I upgraded from TF201 and I do not regret the decision at all. Overall it is not a significant upgrade and if you have a fully working Prime and you will have to pay extra to get Infinity, I will not advise it... UNLESS you really want high def screen. If high def screen is not a priority then you might even look at TF300 (i currently own that as well).

Default Bestbuy TF201 owners can upgrade for free without AD!!!

If you are thinking about this at all look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1796743 . Just turned my 6 month old TF201 in for a full store credit and purchased a new TF700.... Can't be any better than that... Credit to Blackinjun.
