BB sale page. Regular price is $400, so you save $30.
Granted, it's not a huge sale, but it's better than nothing.

Do keep in mind, if you ever intend to use the keyboard dock, you're better off just buying the set.

$30 difference with Pm @ ME takes off $7.50 (+ free S&H match), so you're right about the $362.50

Doesn't feel complete without its dock.

people should just buy the $499 set in bestbuy if they need the keyboard...

Hmm I really want this buy I'll have to wait until it drops further, good post though!

Still rocking my TF101 with the keyboard dock. While the TF300 and the TF700 would be nice upgrades, the TF101 still performs all the tasks I want out of a tablet.

For those who don't have any TF tablet, this is a good price for a very good tablet.

I ordered a TF700 for $499 at FS.
Main reason - not the resolution, not the aluminum casing, not the 1.6 GHz Tegra 3, but the screen itself.
Asus only supplies the Super IPS+ screens to TF201 and TF700. They are simply much better than the one TF300 has.

So, while, no doubt, $362.50 for a TF300 is a good price, in my opinion, the extra $137.50+tx for a TF700 is totally justified.

I have the Prime and the screen works wonders in bright sunlight when you turn on SIPS+.

I have no complaints with the TF300 screens

I have the TF300. Asus has been cheaping out on the storage, resulting in major performance issues as a result across their entire tablet lineup except for the Nexus 7.

As of the current firmware release, the TF300 handles background IO extremely poorly and can have a lot of "Application Not Responding" (ANR) errors depending on how you use it. The issue is widespread on TF Prime, 300, and Infinity 700.


With said caveat, it is a good deal.

True that, It's a shame that those 32GB is wasted because of poor IO, better get a microSD card and store your media/apps on it...

Heard, wasn't able to verify, that the issue was fixed with the latest firmware release:
