TF300T from PC World UK

[flipper411]

I understand PC World / Currys went live with the TF300T over this weekend.
Has anyone got one from there either on pre-order or picked up one at store.

If so can you give me a quick run down of your thoughts.
The reason I ask is currently these are the only UK specific units available and I would like to know UK customers early feedback on UK specific model.

If you could give first few letters of serial number just to compare how these might differ from US models that are being talked about extensively on the forum.

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Got mine Wednesday last week from PC World in Hanley, Stoke on Trent.

A few minor issues...light bleed on left hand side of the screen and the top of screen isnt glued down properly so it's uneven and you can see a raised hump in the middle when you look at the top of the screen. ASUS certainly seem to have quality control issues with their tablets. Will i keep it though? Probably. Despite the problems it's certainly better than the 4 primes i've had and returned.

The actual firmware seems OK and pretty much everything works as expected. Arrived with .17 and rooted using Sparky's tool with no issue.

Don't think i have many issues. My clock sometimes stays frozen and maybe a some lag but on the whole its great.

Other than the screen bleed its a good little tablet.

Loving the full USB support, can power USB3 External HDD and works with USB Dongles as well.

My serial number is c4okct******

Is it available in Pc World and currys to view before buy or is it for pickup only? The reason I am asking is, it says exclusive for Dixons retail.

I picked my up on the 15th May from PC World. I've not got screen bleed issues that I've noticed but I did catch the top and noticed it didn't seem that secure.
The issue I seem to have at the moment is battery life isn't brilliant.

Yes and no. I went to my local PCW on Saturday and there was an empty space where the TF300 was supposed to be. Turns out they were having problems getting the security tab to stick to the textured back so the display model had been put in a back room. The assistant was actually helpful (yes, this really was PC World ) and went to get it without giving me any bluff about specs or why I should buy.

Verdict: I like it, but do I want this or an iPad 3...

Similar thing here. My dock doesn't even charge at all really
