Agreed!!! when i got my TF 300 from Woot i had send it back to Asus in Jamaica the day i got it becuase it had issues. I felt like it wasn’t actually refurbed until i bought it.
For a cheap tablet/netbook it is a steal. Has a quad core Intel Haswell processor with 2 GB RAM w/dedicated graphic processor. Also runs full windows, including 8.1 and comes free with full version office and excel
You are incorrect. Please scroll down past the refurbished items to see the new item. It is the exact same model for $45 less. And yes, it is new and in stock.
I would link you to it but I don’t think that that is allowed.
3 times in the first 6 bullet points they tout the not included dock.
“This gorgeous 3 bedroom, 2 Bathroom 4000 Square foot house with swimming pool and tennis courts can be painted with with this Paintbrush. House Not included”
Bought one of these earlier. Worthless junk if you ask me. Performed ok for a little while. Then motherboard went bad. Asus repair is a joke. Little or no communication and can’t answer any questions about what they did or why a replacement unit had less memory than the original (GB reduction). Mine was a refurb and went out of warrantee in 3 months. after 5 months it broke and cost 185.00 to repair. BEWARE
I have a Surface RT, first-generation, first day available. I’ll say this: it’s very much a tablet. The keyboard may help, but the absolute dearth of Windows RT apps is a real nail in the coffin for me.
In addition to the RT, I have a Nexus 7, a Shield, a couple of Kindle Fires, and some no-name Chinese tablets I picked up for my kids. Based solely on application availability, even the $80 Chinese tablets were better than Windows RT.
Also the display ratio feels very narrow compared to other tablets. Not a lot of vertical space in landscape, and lots of line wrapping in portrait.
Windows RT tablets use an Arm processor, not an X86 processor. With Windows RT, you can install apps directly from the Windows Store, but you can’t install desktop apps that you used with previous versions of Windows.
If you plan on using CHROMECAST or ANY of same APPs you use on a Droid or iPhone, DONT GET any tablet with Microsoft RT-Operating system!!!
Microsoft really tries to corral people into their EXPENSIVE pretend Droid or iPhone apps. I felt like a fool for buying RT and thinking I could use same functions as ANY DROID…NOPE.
I tried an RT OS for a week. Not a single thing from media player to IpCam software to just jack for good FREE APPS
Not only that, but even if someone has compiled an ARM-compatible version of their application, if it’s not in the Windows Store, you can’t install it unless you jailbreak the device.
