Be persistent for that deal but in general it is $399! Check links over there on the sidebar —>

The good news is most countries are starting to see Infinity tablets available to buy. If you’ve been waiting for the Gold color, we’re happy to say that it’s now widely available in the USA and European countries including the UK. However in Canada, they have no retailers with the gold Infinity TF700. We have links for where to buy over on the right side —-> of this page. We hope to update with good news soon for Canadians regarding the Gold color model. It seems that Canada was one of the last countries to get their hands on the Transformer Infinity.

If you want to newest Android Jelly Bean 4.1 update, the Infinity TF700 has an update available. It’s an over the air update. If you’re unsure whether you want or need the update  you can view our page here or see what Asus says about the update here.

If you’re in the USA and currently shopping for a Transformer Infinity, we recommend you read our updated page and listings here. On that page there are many many helpful comments from site visitors that can help you make the best choice on where to buy.

Here are some prices if you’re planning on buying a Transformer Infinity: $499 is the list price for the 32GB (TF700T-B1) but we’ve seen it for as cheap as $429 in the USA. The more expensive model has a $599 list price for the 64GB (TF700T-C1) but we’ve seen it for as cheap as $528 in the USA. The Transformer Infinity keyboard dock sold separately for $149 although we’ve seen it as cheap as $131 from Amazon.com lately.

Aside from the USA, Germany has the best overall selection. We are now seeing IN STOCK units in Germany on Amazon.de (check out link at top of page on the right side here). In fact most European countries now have the TF700 Infinity in stock and shipping. The variety you get in countries like Germany is the tablet and keyboard dock bundle which can save you some money.

Transformer Infinity 3G /4G LTE Update: The 4G Transformer Infinity will be named as TF700KL. This version will come with 16GB storage. A launch in Germany and Austria is taking place in late 2012. We are seeing reviews and unboxing videos so it’s coming soon. It’s not clear whether the TF700KL is coming to North America. We are monitoring other countries for possible release dates and information.

NOTE: Regarding the Asus Transformer Prime TF201 and Transformer Infinity keyboard dock compatibility. People have been buying the TF201 keyboard dock and using with their TF700 Infinity. There haven’ tbeen reported issues and one of the biggest technology blog on the internet has verified with their sources that the TF201 keyboard dock IS compatible with the TF700. Adding to the confusion is this official statement from Asus on their product page (btw this statement is actually not correct according to multiple sources):  The Transformer Pad Infinity mobile dock is compatible with Eee Pad Transformer Prime. (The Eee Pad Transformer Prime mobile dock is NOT compatible with Transformer Pad Infinity).

Android tablet with pen input digitizer stylus from Asus

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Admin

If you’re wanting a stylus in an Asus tablet, you have been limited to a Windows 8 VivoTab 810C model. A digitizer stylus is a somewhat niche market, but people want that option.

There has been a recent trailer from Asus leading up to Computex 2013. In that video, there is a tablet which seems to indicate a pen that slips into the device similar to the stylus holder in the top of the Eee Slate EP121/B121. Samsung has enjoyed some success with their Note series which has a stylus and if I were to guess, I think Asus will have an android-based 7-inch or 8-inch tablet that has pen input. It’s possible that there could even be a 10-inch model knowing how Asus likes to take chances.

In the past, Asus had a limited release Eee Note which was monochrome but had an amazing digitizer stylus input. It was top notch at the time, but since then, Asus hasn’t updated that model. All we’ve seen in the large sized Eee Slate and the recent 11-inch VivoTab 810C running Windows 8. Nothing in the Android OS which says something is in the works. We may see a new product line in fact for these tablets.

Hopefully at Computex 2013 or earlier, we start to see some more details and rumors emerge.

Transformer Book TX100 coming from Asus

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Admin

Although the original unveiling of the Transformer Book TX300 was a long while ago, it has been slow getting to market. No word why that is, but my suspicion is that cost and demand is playing a role. As in, Windows 8 tablets have struggled and is a 13-inch tablet such as the TX300 going to sell well? Just my guess on the situation.

Having said that, Asus has confirmed that they will be releasing a 10-inch Transformer Book in the second half of 2013. I’m dubbing this TX100 only as a guess to the actual product numbering. What’s interesting is that Asus is aiming for a price tag of around $399 for this model. Considering the TX300 is over $1,000, a low price on the TX100 is going to be quite an achievement.

My guess is that at Computex 2013 we’re going to see this 10-inch Transformer Book.

MeMO Pad with Atom (ME302C) benchmark leaked

Posted on April 26, 2013 by Admin

As usual, benchmarks lead to leaks which leads to blown cover for many a tablet. Expect to see the Asus MeMO Pad ME302C in the near future. If you recall, recently Intel was trumpeting a number of new Atom based Android tablets from the major tablet manufacturers. It appears that the ME302C is one of those tablets. Based on that number scheme it would appear to be a new 10-inch  MeMO Pad which is the budget line of Asus tablets. This model would see a higher resolution, so perhaps a MeMO Pad HD? A few of these specs, based on the benchmarks, may include: a 1920 x 1200 pixel display, an x86 processor with a speed of 1600 MHz and a bottom speed of 800 MHz, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, Atom Clover Trail+ Z2560 processor, and PowerVR SGX 544 graphics.
