Best place to buy new in Nov. 2016? - Asus Transformer TF701

Anyone know what options there are for buying one NEW? Same for the keyboard. Only option I could find was Amazon.com which has a new option that prime-capable for $500. Also what is everyone's opinion on getting this at the end of 2016? I see there is a popular ROM that brings Android 6 to this device which seems great. I want a tablet with a keyboard dock and the Pixel C seems like it's around the same price for the 32GB model, but I like that this one's keyboard has a battery, a full-size USB port, and expandable storage.

that rom was a mistake, the author thought that a tf700 rom would work on a tf701. if you try to put that android 6 rom on a tf701 you may brick it. I looked into it as well.

I've been using the KatKiss "KatshMallow" ROM (Marshmallow 6.0.1) on my TF701 and it is working great. The only caveat is that it doesn't support exFat, so I had to format my MicroSD card with NTFS.

How much is my Touchpad bundle worth?

Hi there, I'm a student in the UK and I'm considering selling my beloved HP Touchpad for some funds towards another purchase. I'm just wondering how much I would likely to get for:
A HP Touchpad (I'm assuming a freshly formatted one would be the best option) current has a screen protector on
Official Portfolio Case
Touchstone Wireless Charger with all the different country power adapters
Spare screen protector
All of these items still have the original box which hopefully adds to the value of the tablet. Anyone have any ideas on how much it's worth? Then I might be interested in offers.
Thanks!
all of your devices together worth ¥1300 in China
About $170 USD

Humm i also was thinking about selling it. It getting old and developement is a little dead.
But then im like okay and what other tablet can i get...
Nexus 7. To little like the 9.7 screen. prefer 10'' and 16/9 ratio but yeah.
So my question is what other tablet is out there with same specs. And no the tegra2 is a big **** cant even play hd videos etc....
But on the ohter side. saw that the transformer tegra2 has a ubuntu port. With pretty good list of working stuff.
So i think if i will sel mine 150 euro have 32gb. And euh isnt the newest state. Specialy the back is just realy scratched from all the sliding around.
But i will only sell it if there is a other tablet for not to expensive 150 iif i can get that for my hp tp...
And the tablet would be great if it has some mpre developemtn tham the tp
The latest build of the native Ubuntu 12.10 port for Touchpad also has a very nice list of working stuff actually. Try it out no need to buy anything new just for Ubuntu.

Could be interesting, but I doubt it'll have an SD card slot, so I'll probably pass because of that. Unless phones start coming with 64-128GB+ of storage, SD cards will be necessary. I don't consider USB OTG thumb drives, the Cloud, WiFi Drives, etc as good mobile storage solutions. Kind of a pain in the ass to put an OTG drive into a phone, put all that into my pocket, and do anything requiring movement and not risk breaking the USB port on either the phone or the OTG drive.
A good example -- I was going to get the new Nexus 7, but its nothing more than a 1080p Moto X Tablet (spec wise). Decided instead on the Asus MeMO 7 HD. For $70 cheaper I can get the same amount of Rom Storage, an SD slot, good enough hardware, 720p. Probably gonna get that next Friday . Point is, I'd be willing to pay $70 more for an SD card slot...instead I'll spend that $70 on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse (or a protective case...) for the tablet. I don't see the need for 1080p on a 7" screen, so I don't consider that as a loss.

I don't think Google has ever released a Nexus device with SD Card support since the original Nexus One.
I agree with you though. SD Card Support is a must for me too. However, I like the way the Moto X is. Low specs sure, but everything seems to work the way it should. I dont think the Nexus would have the same specs as the Moto X, it should have good hardware to support atleast 2-3 years of updates.

Spec wise, X is all you really need in a phone. If it had an SD card I'd seriously consider it.
Nexus 5 will probably be a quad core X with updated components. 32-64GB internal storage. No SD.
I'd like to see the manufactures take a different route with the phones. Make 3 models -- small (Defy), medium (AHD), large (Note2) with the same hardware other than screen size. Only buttons need to be power and volume; ports needed are hdmi, mini usb, sd card(s). For users that want keyboards, better camera, random special hardware, the phones will have removable backs that can be replaced with hardware addons. Imagine being at work so you attach the slide out keyboard module, get off work and attach the 78mp camera module, for playing games you can attach the controller module. If a manufacturer did that, made it Android, & unlocked the boot loader we'd all get that phone. It would be a nightmare for cases/otterboxes, but having a choice in screen sizes and interchangeable hardware modules would make up for that -- just imagine being able to buy an extended battery + slide-out keyboard all-in-one module.

I believe Sony is actually doing something to that idea, they have a wi-fi camera module that will link to your phone and use your phone as the view finder. Granted its not the same, but the idea is similar. I'd be happy with just removable battery and micro SD and micro HDMI (I really dont see why they started this MHL BS.)
But I am looking at getting a new phone this winter, if this Moto-Nexus pans out it may be the way I go. I was leaning twoards an Xperia Z.

Thinking about the new nexus

So i have the old nexus 7, no issues. Ive had it since launch and am currently running PA.
Now im thinking of upgrading just on a whim. My nexus 7 again is very very smooth atm and works perfectly. Anyone see any reason to even consider upgrading to the new one? If theres one thing i would think about it would be the expanded memory since i have the 8 gig version of the original, i find that my storage is very lacking and i cant install like multi-rom/linux very easily with out deleting everything on my tablet. You guys think it would be worth it just for the better resolution, faster processor and larger storage capacity (64 gigs) to upgrade or should i just wait and see how things fair? I know i can use Usb on the go with the old one, but im still considering upgrading just because 8 gigs really isnt alot dispite the fact that i usually am streaming media to my tablet rather then putting it directly onto it.

Asus Fonepad is already a 7" phone. The Samsung Mega specs and quality is low compared to the Xperia Z Ultra.

There we are then, the end of 7" tablets!
I had a 16gb v1 that I replaced with a 32gb v2 for the increased storage, faster storage, and faster CPU. Both units perfect out of the box. I gave the v1 to my son and he loves it. Best upgrade I have ever done. I find qi charging is actually great, and the back camera is handy. I love the Panasonic wireless charger.

My Nexus 7 is my phone. Just use T-mobile 4G Hotspot when I am out. I am looking at the 4 or 5 for a bit more privacy.
The Pulled Pork looks a little better on the new N7, but buy it from Google, not Subway.

Dude if I was you I would wait until the 2014 Gen. 3 comes out B/C everything that I'm seeing on the Gen. 2 is not that great but to eaches own I'm hoping that the NEXUS 10 Gen. 2 is going to be a home run for us and if it is I might get it G.B.Y.
Sent from my Nexus 7
The gen 2 Nexus 7 is way better than the gen 1 in every way. Period.
The next generation will probably be better than the gen 2 again. That's how it works.
If you want something better than your current gen1, buy the gen 2. It's a decent deal.

2014 of course, your 2012 is working fine now. does 2012 work on otg?

Tablet w/ keyboard

So I am back after i lost my beloved TF700 about 6 months ago. I am now on the prowl for a new tablet and i really want one with a dock again. I plan on using it as a laptop replacement so the keyboard and the full size USB are a huge plus to me. The battery makes it even better. So i remeber sbdags praising the TF701 back then when i first lost my tablet. My thing is this, should i go for the TF701 or is there a better option out there with a dock? Also, has anyone heard anything, good or bad about the new TF303? I know its european and such only right now, but that is the beauty of buying online, and who knows, they may eventually bring it to the states.
If you like the form factor, USB, microSD and SD card slots on Android it's tough to find an alternative to the TF700/701. Lots more options on the Windows side, but.... it's Windows.....
I love the TF701 and since it's not been very popular (read about the wobble/disconnect issues with the dock) you can get the combo for under $300. Pretty hard to beat for a tablet with these specs.
The new Nexus 9 with it's folding cover/keyboard looks interesting. But Nexus never had external storage and that's a deal breaker for me.
Don't know about the 303. It has LTE right? I'm not interested paying for another data plan and wouldn't hold my breath seeing it on the US market, probably due to the strangle hold and extremely unattractive data plans US carriers have and offer.
I am curious could we hack the Chromebook to install Android

[Q] Trying to decide on getting Nexus 6 (Verizon)

So here I am trying to figure out if I should get the Nexus 6 on Verizon or if I should get the LG G3 instead. I got to play around with the G3 for a good week and was very impressed with it compared to the Note 3 I currently use as my daily driver. Being that the Nexus 6 to me doesn't seem much bigger compared to the Note 2 (which I still have one) I'm not overly concerned about the size. So I'll throw out a few questions here and see perhaps if the Nexus 6 is a good fit for me based upon these few things...
1 - I noticed a lot of reviews (ie: Engadget, Android Police) mention the slow focus on video recording. Has this been fixed or improved on Lollipop 5.1 or at least on any custom ROMs/kernels at all?
2 - Is there any good methods or cases that could allow me to use an micro SD card on the Nexus 6 as of yet? I tried to Google search and only really saw one Kickstarter project but maybe I'm over looking something. I am aware of Meenova but sadly that lacks the ability to have that in use while charging the Nexus 6 at the same time.
Thanks so much in advance for any info on these two questions I have so far.
The N6 is a fantastic phone. I haven't regretted buying it at all. Can't compare to the G3 though, since I've never held one in my hand.
About your questions:
1 - Can't really answer, I seldom use the video recorder.
2 - You can use Meenova and charge at the same time if you use qi-charging.
I played with the Nexus at a Verizon store yesterday and I liked it. Just waiting on my cases to show up before I get two (there's no way my wife can have a phone without it being covered in body armor). I was also bummed about no sd but a couple of guys on here told me about meenova and I have two on the way as well. Then again after seeing the specs on the S6, they could be trying to make micro sd's extinct too. It's really a tough choice for you as I don't know much about the G3 other than on Big Red it's either a G3 or a Nexus if you want root and rom flashing. My post probably doesn't help much but I liked what I saw from the phone in the store.
Is the meenova the only adaptor that will work with the nexus? I have a pqi micro sd card reader that is about the same size. And it works with other androids and you can plug it into a regular USB slot too.

Have you tested this? The only reason I ask is the Nexus 5 will not qi charge if OTG is in use. I'm curious as to whether this is different on the N6

It's not the only one that works, it was just recommended to me by a couple of posters since I didn't have one at all.
Here's a review for the Sandisk one and a few others are talked about as well...http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/review-sandisk-ultra-dual-usb-otg-drive-t2983372

Nope... I won't be testing this after all. Can't figure out what I've done with my USB OTG. If I find it I'll give it a go.
