[Comp] [Merged] Asus Transformer Prime Pre Order at FS/BB/maybe others

[a1qwyx20]

Not really a deal but not bad for a 32 gig tablet that is more than twice as good performance wise as all others. This is just a post to say its here now.

I thought this was some "pre-order" for that terribleness that was Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen =P.

^^^ same. fix title please.

no tablet + keyboard combos yet....

p.s. why would this be Transformers 2 movie pre-order? It's already out...

[taliosfalcon]

^^^ same. fix title please.

Titles fine, transformer vs transformers and it wouldn't make sense to preorder something that came out two years ago anyway,which points back to it being a tablet.

Looks like Dec 5 is Christmas this year! I wonder if these will be hard to get ahold of on release day or if I should preorder to be safe?

If 16GB version gets priced at $399 again 32GB will move a bit slower, I love my TF-101 so I am not sure if I should upgrade. Is TF-201 going to come with 3G?

Then post it in the Computers & Electronics forum. I'm sure there is already a thread in there for this tablet.

If you know this isn't a deal why do you still post it? People can view other parts of the forum too..

[Longobongo]

Change title to Transformer Prime which is its official name

[manicdvln]

Pre-order in Quebec not allowed. God I hate our French laws.

We've seen a lot of cheap tablets today and most of them are crap. Asus TF-101 is one solid tablet and TF-201 will not disappoint if it improves the original. However nVidia is trying to do for tablet industry what they've done for video card industry with reference boards. We might see sub $299 tablets but not with IPS or quality memory. So if you're okay with components like that then it is worth the wait. But I will hold off on purchase of this because my TF-101 is still running great.

regular price = hot deal?!
