I've been doing a lot of research about Tablets and different types. I'm not an iPad person as iOS doesn't appeal to me and neither does the cost of one.

I've been keeping my eye on an ASUS Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and the Prime (TF300T) as-well as the Galaxy Note 10.1 for some time but I feel that I could get something just as good for a little bit less.

The Tablet has to be 10.1 (10 inches) in screen size because I need a large screen for some of the things I had planned for it. If you guys could convince me to get a smaller sized screen then by all means.

It must be powerful, an Nvidia Tegra 3 tablet for high graphics performance is what I'm looking for. I plan to do some moderate to heavy gaming with it.

Display doesn't have to be as amazing as the TF700T.

The main point is to use it as my on the go "PC" and notebook. I plan to use it for school work to write stuff or draw if I want. I am aware of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the S-pen and I'm also aware that you could get a stylus pen for any tablet.

The OS should be Android (ICS preferably). Because most of the Windows 8 Tablets are far too expensive.

What do you think would be a good tablet ? Or have I made the right choice already ? (The ASUS TF700T)

I own a TF300, it works pretty well and the keyboard is pretty usefull for typing. Allthough I would recommend you getting the Note if you are planning to do graphichs work on it. The note does not have a tegra CPU though.

As for the TF700 vs the TF300. I would recommend the 300 since it's so much cheaper and the only real advantage is the better CPU which I don't think is that usefull

According to this from what I found on the Nexus 10: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/tablets/3421987/google-nexus-10-goes-back-on-sale-again/

£319 = $504.02 (About) For the 16GB version. That's about on par on price with the other two. If I'm not mistaken. I am aware of getting a 32GB or 64GB SD Card and all but still for that price the ASUS sounds like a slightly better deal. Also the keyboard dock does appeal to me but I'm not getting it until way later.

The Nexus 7 would be considered as for the price you just can't go wrong. But the screen size will be a problem for me. Also no rear camera.

Yeah. That's why I left it there. I noticed the scores both are getting are pretty much dead even or barely noticeable difference. I'm aware the GPS as improved on the TF700 but I'm not using that Lol. The Resolution on the TF700 however does appeal to me to some extent. I might get the keyboard dock but as of right now, no. Have you tried a stylus pen on it ? I seen it has a pretty good note app pre-installed.

The note doesn't have a Tergra however it seems to push equal graphics performance as a Tergra from the videos I've seen. But the price for just the 16GB version is a tad steep Vs the ASUS.

Nah man, Blue is my favorite color.

Keep'em coming. Right now I'm considering the ASUS TF700 or TF300.

To be frank. I think a tablet doesn't need these crazy new resolutions . But since they do, it appealed to me. It's something I expected to happen more later in the future but time is going by fast.
