ASUS TF201-B1-GR Transformer Prime - Gray NVIDIA Tegra 3 1.30GHz 10.1" Wide XGA 1GB Memory DDR2 32GB Flash Integrated Graphics

Pros: From what I can tell the screen size is pretty nice, and it is ultra thin.

Cons: Battery dead upon arrival, would not receive charge.

Other Thoughts: This is a known issue and despite several other reviews stating to NOT buy this product I did anyways. I am a pretty frequent and high paying customer.

"Refurbished" products have been tested to ensure compliance with original manufacturer specifications, and MAY include a limited manufacturer warranty - see the item's product page for details

I would think that this would mean it was tested before being sent as is stated in their quote for refurbished items. However after waiting a week for it to arrive and being really excited to mess around with it, it arrived not operational with the exact same issues reported by several other users. I am really upset from both sides, Newegg for not double checking the operational status, and Asus ( I love this company, I use all of their motherboards for my custom PC builds ) for the faulty design. I'm guessing it's because it was the first gen of this product and is ultra slim, maybe cutting corners or using a cheaper battery wasn't the right way to do things.

I'm refunding this so I won't be able to tell you if the replacement would have been operational, I didn't want to wait over two weeks to receive another with the same issues. I'll be looking onwards towards different tablets, and will surely not order anything else refurbished from Asus.

Pros: Bought transformer and keyboard in combo deal. Great product, everything works well. Exceptional battery life.

Cons: None so far, I knew gps didn't work going into the purchase, that's what my iPhones for.

Pros: don't have any pros because I couldn't use mine. I am returning it because it wouldn't charge or turn on.

Cons: I can't tell you how this is because it wouldn't even charge or turn on.

Hopefully my replacement will be better.

Other Thoughts: I love the brand ASUS and have an ASUS laptop that I love and has worked perfectly for two years. I am usualy weary of refurbished equipment but I took a chance with this and lost. I haven't given up hope yet and am waiting on my new one to see if that one works.

Pros: IPS screen. Decent battery life and build quality

Cons: Horrible WI/FI . Stock ROM is glitchy. Difficult to load custom ROMS

Other Thoughts: I generally like ASUS products but the past several years has seen a real fall in overall workmanship, customer service and quality. People are placing metal foil over the antenna to improve connection. This isn't a inexpensive Asian tablet from a unknown maker. Do NOT get this tablet and those who think its just sour grapes. Google ASUS TF201 law suit.

Pros: thin, fast, didn't try much as it is being exchanged.

Cons: Have numerous indentations on the glass (spot, not line) which is easily visible when viewed at an angle, scratches are not big or deep enough to hinder finger swipe. Hope that the exchanged unit will be free from this kind of defect. I assume the definition of "refurbish" in NewEgg is excludes scratches on glass. I can understand scratches on the metal body, but scratches on the glass is unacceptable.

Pros: The tablet runs fast. The screen is clear and bright. I can't tell much since the battery is dead when it arrives.

Cons: It is refurbished tablet. The refurbished tablet should be fixed by manufacture and make sure it works before selling to customer. I don't know whose fault it was. The battery was dead when it arrived yesterday. I could not turn on the tablet. So, I plugged it to the power, and it ran to Android OS. I saw the battery 0% charge. I let it charged overnight and checed it on this morning. The 0% percent battery was still there. I unplugged the power and the table was off since 0% percent battery. The battery was dead. There are some scratches on the screen and about 1/2 inch of the right edge was popped out. It seems someone tried to open the tablet. My biggest concern is the battery.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Valued Customer,

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your tablet's battery. The battery issue that you are describing does not seem normal. If you are within the return period, I would encourage you to contact Newegg as soon as possible to see what options you have available.

Pros: - Crystal Clear display
- Battery life amazing
- Adobe Flash
- Settings are in a logical matter
- Practically a mini laptop for $333 with key board. (A.K.A REALLY CHEAP!!!!)
- Google play (app store) very nice. They have all the apps that apple has and some extra, and in my opinion the apps themselves are better that apples.

Cons: -I had to return my first tablet they sent to me for a screen problem, that is known well in the android community.(software problem that will be fixed in updates as android takes over the world:))
- Can be considered a pro and a con but, The tablet is so thin and fragile that I recommend a mini suit case which makes it an inch and half thick but it very safe and professional for only $10.
- On my tablet it "ghost clicks" when it is charging and it only happens when you use the touch screen but it doesn't when you type on the keyboard.

Other Thoughts: I love it... It's fast. unique and what I believe to be the future of laptops and tablets. The reason I put four eggs is because of the screen problem and that they are not fixing it fast enough. btw my new tablet does not have a screen problem.:)

Pros: 32gb, quadcore transformer Prime in like new condition. Fast. Great screen. Android 4.1.1. Gorilla glass. Feel great in the hands with the metal back.. I have never had any wireless device of any sort connect and disconnect as fast as this one. Literally change APs in under 4 seconds.

Cons: Metal back - feels nice but metal can dent and scratch easily. No reliable GPS. Can be a little uncomfortable after a while due to fairly sharp edges.

Other Thoughts: You can purchase the keyboard dock for the TF700 as they are the same. Often TF700 dock is relabeled TF201-DOCK. You can pick up a nice leather portfolio case for under $10 and protect the tablet and improve its lholdability at the same time. Tablet I am now using most often among Samsung Galaxy 2, Touchpad and Toshiba Thrive. Touchpad still a close 2nd.

Pros: Love it looks great good picture

Cons: WiFi stinks no streaming just wait wait wait it will load in 10 minutes, My cell phone downloads at 4gigs on my wireless network this tablet best has done 350kb. No GPS tablet trys to pick up on GPS NEWEGG.COM has GPS in the details
maybe they should revise their listing

Other Thoughts: I hope I get a good one after i RMA this one, will try working on it one more day before I ask for an RMA

Pros: good , This tablet for me is like an ipad3, its fast and clear and suggested to many friends.

Cons: This tablet can not be hold with one hand because of its wight compared to other tablets and its metal surface , but we can and should handle this with two hands.
