Hearing some negative stuff about reboots, inconsistent dock attachment and still stuttering, makes me think twice. This thing is damned expensive.

Keeping my tf700 and buying a new gpad or nexus 8 may be in the cards. Lol.

Per my other posts it is concerning that best buy has eradicated most of the infinity eee line from the stores. That and the fact that I feel a bit "rooked" by my purchase of the tf700 in that I thought I was getting a powerhouse device. Still love it though

just took some more bloat off my tf700. It is fine (if not using google play store and not playing high end games); decided to pull down my ebay listing and hold pat on the tf700. just such a unique device...dont see the advantage to spend 300-400 upgrading (after ebay sale)

Not forget you read specially here about the so called negative stuff because we are used to discover these things much earlier than "normal" users.Not forget also that the users that have no issues at all are at least a factor 10 more than the one that have one or more minor to severe issues.
In all the tablet is very good but go in the thread of the nexus 10 or latest samsung tablet and they have their own "negative" things too.

Tablet works flawless for me. Stable, stunning display and having come from a TF700 this is blazingly fast! No dock issues with fitment for me. The only complaint is that I wish Asus still made the more "premium" aluminum dock. The new docks just feel like a cheap toy by comparison to the tablet quality.

I have no problems with mine, too. Blazing fast. No hickups. Ok, tablet is a little loose in the dock, but mine doesn't disconnect... yet :p

Mine is wonderful so far. I haven't got the dock yet, but it's performing well with everything I throw at it. Chrome jitters a little, but it is the same on my girlfriend's nexus 10.
I'm happy I bought it. After the horrible tf201, I almost swore off another asus tablet.

This speed demon has my girlfriend jealous. I can't stop playing with it. Having had the TF700T this seems like a Maserati compared to the old Ford Escort..

every thing has a bad side to it. my complaint right now is it gets hot fast. the performance is okay, definitely below my expectation. But thats why im waiting for either a custom asus rom or aosp. all of which will perform better than the stock rom we have right now

Im sure sdbags will do wonders with this tablet as he did the tf700. But I do have stuttering and it rebooted on me once. I pressed the home button and it stuck being high lighted, pressed the power button once and it rebooted.

The TF701T is running android JB 4.2.2. These sound like early bugs that Asus is still working out. This happens with most releases from them. They are pretty good at issuing updates to fix them early on in the life cycle. Hopefully they are also working on KK4.4 as it absolutely flies on my nexus 5 especially as Google are dropping dalvik just in time (JIT) compilation and have introduced Android RunTime (ART)

My initial TF701 had a problem with the dock connection - tilting the screen even e few millimeters towards me resulted in the device turning off. I returned it and waited until it was clear that this was an incidental rather than structural problem. I got a new one about a week ago and I love it! No problems to date.

I have noticed some strange graphic artifacts. Once upon boot, I had a black screen with white lines until I made it sleep and woke it again. Today I bought GTA vice city, and I see strange graphics that correspond to gameplay. Has anyone else seen this? I'm guessing it's software, which doesn't bother me too much, but after the tf201, I'm leery about missing my return window or unlocking early.

Just got mine. I had that same problem with black and white screen the first time I attached to dock and it updated itself. That was just a few hours ago. Otherwise all seems good. I do notice the screen does not seem as bright as my TF101 and the colors do not seem as true.

I am looking forward to rooting and getting upgrade to KitKat

Use the Splendid App that the device supplies to adjust your color palette. I have mine on - 6 (cool). Seems brighter and more true on that setting. At least for me.
