Bad experience with TF101, Hesitant about getting TF300

[ramy_Maia]

Earlier this year i got an ASUS TF101, I was treating it so gently OTA stock updates without any missing around and just after couple of months and after updating to ICS ... (Many people reported having random reboots with ICS, but my problems was worse) It got stuck at the ASUS logo with no progress what so ever, I had to make tens of trials: different ROMs, cold reboots, restores, .. etc to get it to work again, and within a couple of days randomly and out of the blue it gets stuck again ... The bottom line it was bad, nasty experience.

I haven't been following the TF300 threads, so the question is .. Do people get similar issues with the TF300, random reboots, random sys crashes, ... etc

IMO don't get the tf300. Get the N10. More powerful, and I think a better company to deal with. Asus has been trouble for a lot of people, and I know I am sick of the tablet. The Tegra3 isn't everything I had hoped for.

Like you, from TF101 to TF300. I have no problem with my TF300. Working perfectly.

TF300T - dock keyboard +, if you don't plan to buy go to N10.

N10 has one thing that'll one-up the TF300 and even the 700. And by reading this, you probably already know. 300dpi.

But, that was exactly the reason why I didn't get the TF700, and won't get the N10. High-resolution screens.
Sure, they're real nice (reaaaal), but what apps are optimized for it? There aren't even that many Tablet Apps for Android, yet 2560x1600 or 1920x1080. 1080p being the more reasonable one. The n10 fragments apps completely, starting a new line of high-res apps that most likely won't be followed up for a year or so.

So if you want apps to look optimal, TF300 is the way to go.
Sure, I/O will hamper it. But nothing a bit of tinkering can't fix. Mine runs smooth

No problems whatsoever with my tf300. And it has a micro SD slot, if you plan on using a lot of storage. I like the N10, but decided that the card slot was a must for me, and the screen resolution is adequate for what I do. And I've had good experience with Asus support for the most part (including replacing the video card and mobo on my G51) on the laptops/netbooks I have owned from them. YMMV.

Very bad IO speed with all latest Asus Android tablets.
Go for Note 10.1 or Nexus10.

WTH are you guys recommending other tablets doing in this forum anyway ? LOL Sounds like you miss your TF300s. ASUS tablets are great. If you like the Nexus better.. go hang out in those forums.

Meaning less post.
Some of us recommending new generation of tablets released after TF300.
Is there any rule in xda like what you said? Or do you own xda?

I have had 2 TF300T due to my first one having a glitch with the touch screen it was replaced after one week of use without any problem. But my second one has been fantastic running with no issues whats so ever, getting all my firmware updates along with my Jelly Bean update.
I do hear you when it comes to purchasing something from a company you had bad luck with...once bitten twice as shy. People have been saying they would get the Nexus 10, have you given any thought to the new Asus Vivo RT 600 it comes with 2GB of Ram 1366x768 super IPS 8-megapixel camera and Windows 8 plus comes in 32GB & 64GB and many more bells and whistles. also you dont always have to go up the Nexus 7 made by Asus is also a really nice machine.......good luck on your tablet hunt.
