Anyone with the Asus Transformer TF300/tegra 3 tab, help?
Hey,
So I am in the market for a tablet. In particular I was looking at the Asus Transformer TF300 because of its combination of price and keyboard add-on. However, I had some questions. Some of them can even be answered by anyone with other Tegra 3 tablets/devices.
~How are the speakers?
~Do you have the white one? If so, does it get dirty easily?
~Is the keyboard comfortable to write a 500-1000 word essay?
~Does it tip over easily with the keyboard dock in?
(For any tegra 3)
~How are the games for tegra 3 devices?
~Can they run any *LEGAL* Nintendo DS emulators?
~Is the performance just zippier than say a tegra 2 device or your average smartphone?
Thanks

The tf300 has reports of the screen getting cracked by the dock
I have a Transformer Prime Tf201 Tegra 3. They are smiliar. I would recommend the ASUS Transformer Infinity Tf700. It just came out to the pubic like 2 or 3 days ago. Tegra 3 quad-core at 1.6 Ghz. One of 2 full HD Android tablets at 1920 x 1,200.
From what Im going to say is about the [b]TF201 [/b]not the Tf300. The TF201, and Tf300 are very alike. The Tf300 was made to fix the GPS and Wifi problems on the Tf201. Nothing major changed compared to both devices.
~How are the speakers?They sound great! It's loud, but not that loud. Use an app to boost the volume(careful not to put it to high on the app.)
~Do you have the white one? If so, does it get dirty easily?
~Is the keyboard comfortable to write a 500-1000 word essay? Yes it is comfortable.
~Does it tip over easily with the keyboard dock in? Nope.
(For any tegra 3)
~How are the games for tegra 3 devices? Great! Go to the Tegrazone app to find Tegra 3 games, and put it on performance mode for best graphics, smoothness.
~Can they run any *LEGAL* Nintendo DS emulators? never tried.
~Is the performance just zippier than say a tegra 2 device or your average smartphone? Yes it is zippier. If your device lagged, its prob the operating system. With Andrid 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, It is so much smoother. ASUS Said they will update the Transformer tablet series in the next "Coming months" they said.
You should go to an android forum to get answers. Check out xda-developers.com or phandroid.com. Find the forum section for the device and ask there, you will find more answers.
Emulators as a concept and for use are legal. What is not legal are the way the people acquire the ROMs for said emulators as well as BIOS.
