ok, so everything about this tablet is good or at least ok, not bad, EXCEPT for i/o issues which has been driving me crazy, lags when downloading, updating apps, browsing the web, downloading game files,.... anything that needs to write/read on the flash storage.

but i feel like everyone is happy with this tablet and have no complaints, don't you also have i/o issues? i'm sure you do, so is there something that i don't know that can solve this problem?

Some things you learn to live with. For example, I know not to update apps while I'm trying to do anything else. This might require that you set all of your apps not to update automatically.

Installing a custom ROM is a good start. Browser2Ram is almost a must-have. Some people have had luck with DirectoryBind to re-map Chrome's cache folder. I tried the same with Flipboard but it didn't help. So I've learned not to use Flipboard.

In the end, it's a matter of pros and cons. If you find it unbearable even with a custom ROM, a good kernel, and some tweaks, then maybe the TF300 won't satisfy your usage pattern.

Rooting and installing a custom ROM, in short

I agree with this a million times. I love this tablet a lot! After I flashed clean ROM and a custom kernel, this tablet is freaking amazing!

Just about any of them. The first thing the Devs do when making a ROM for the TF's is likely address the I/O, as that's the biggest issue with this device.

Sometimes it's just best to try them out yourself. I'm not even rooted yet so don't really have experience with custom ROMs on this tablet

They should both be good. You could easily install another one if you aren't happy with a ROM

Sv: how do people deal with i/o issues

I've tried just about every rom for the TF300 and Cleanrom is without a doubt the fastest. And while devs do find some ways to address the I/O problem it's never gonna go away completely.

I haven't unlocked or rooted yet so I don't have anything to compare it against, but the only bit of lag I have experienced is with the stock browser or chrome, but with either Dolphin or Boat Browser, surfing the web is really quick. With everything else that you have mentioned it has been really fast.

What can you say about hydro? I'm currently using it and haven't had any problem except stock browser is really slow and I always got the message that it's not responding? do you experience this in cleanrom or default browser is just crappy?

One thing that might help you make a decision on Rom is whether or not you have a keyboard. I believe they only Roms that support keyboard is "stock" based. So Cyanogenmod or any AOSP Roms do not support keyboard.
