I decided to return my TPad for a replacement. It was way too laggy and others were not having the issue. Best Buy replaced it no problem and I was able to get a 32G that had just arrived. I had to pay the extra $20 but that was OK with me.
I am happy to report that the new Pad does not have the lag issues. I am unhappy to report that it has a reboot problem. [Rebooted at least 6 or 7 times since yesterday]. I have done one reset and I restored apps from Titanium. I had 1 reboot since. If it happens again I will restore once more and not restore my apps via Titanium. If it still reboots I will try another replacement. Still it is very good to know that the lag issue was the individual tablet and not something present in all of them. It gives me hope.
If anyone has another recommendation for the reboots let me know.

I'd like to be able to set the performance to MAX on boot rather than the middle setting and having to keep increasing it to play HD videos.

I am in the U.S. When I was returning the 16G version I asked if they had the 32G. The girl checked her computer and said no. When they brought the replacement it was the 32G. She thought they must have come in that day.
Aww sheeet I'm about to book it to best buy then and go through every tablet they got for one. They had their 201 docks labeled as the 300 docks. So disorganized.

I just went to my best buy here in Bend, Oregon and picked up a 32gb tf300t. I called on maybe thursday last week and the person I talked to didnt even know when they would be getting it in. Went in today and looked through all the tf300's looking for the 32gb and found one. It looked like they had a few more but there was no price tag saying they had 32gb's for sale. Strange.
Either way I exchanged my 16gb tf300 for the 32gb and paid $20. Now im happy,
In other news it doesnt seem to be finding the latest firmware update, still on .17

Well, I'm sure I will get some pretty biased responses, but I am looking for a true android device, don't want to spend a ton, so I was thinking of selling my HP touchpad for a transformer!! What do you think? Thoughts? Really want to keep the cost in the 3-350 range...

i have a hp touchpad and also have a transformer. Since purchasing the transformer, i don't use the touchpad (with android) at all and actually gave it to my 5 year old. i have had a few lockups, but nothing too major and never while i'm using it. i'm sure it will get sorted out relatively soon. also i frequently see WTB ads on my local craigslist wanting 16gb touchpads for ~$200 and i also frequently see ads selling transformers with dock for $250-$350. So, if you sell your tp you should be able to get into a transformer for no more than $150 out of pocket if the market where you live is similar to mine.

Yeah I didn't think they had it either but I went there yesterday to buy the 16GB model and they had the card stock for a 32GB model. I asked the guy and he said yes, I was stoked. He at first grabbed me the 16GB model so I had to do an exchange for the 32GB model. When I get home I'll shoot a picture of my receipt

well for me I was always checking best buy for it, always checking the site and going in like every 3 days. I was in a rock in a hard place to either wait or just grab it from amazon. My wife keeps making fun of me because I am an instant gratification type of guy and I just want it now and not wait for shipping from Amazon. If I were you I would check up on it as much as I can because you have 30 days to exchange or if your a premiere silver member you have 45-60 days to exchange it, cant remember which one. Im sure they will have it advertise in the Sunday weekly ad.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
Yep. In the ads, and Its now available at every store near me. Contemplating the exchange. Broke right now. In all reality Ive never even come close to running out of memory, with the exception of my Evo 3D due to only having 1gb internal.
On my 300 I have 16gb internal, and a 16gb sd card. With 151 apps and games I have 8.79gb internal, and 11.45gb external left.
On my Galaxy Tab 7.7 I have 16gb internal, and a 16gb sd card. With 137 apps and games. Still have 6.27gb internal and 10.01 external left.
Although only $20 for double the memory is awesome, I dont want to risk any issues with the new one. (Light bleed, etc). The one I have now is perfect. Besides with my luck Ive had lately with Best Buy and tablets Id probably get a bad one.

Can't compete with OP's price, but Gamestop sells tables, the tf300t being one of them and they load them with ~15$ worth of games for free.
Yes, this deal is in store only - in fact, at the Micro center near me, they don't even have it on display. I called beforehand just to make sure, and sure enough they had 19 units in stock.
It's the best deal on a 32gb tablet bar none.

LoL yeah, I'm pretty rural up here (Mendocino County, Northwestern California)- http://www.visitmendocino.com ), we do have Walmart and Staples in Ukiah though, they carry Toshiba, Acer, Apple and Asus tablets, but neither store has the TF300's in yet. The nearest place now that carries them would be Best Buy, they're 70 miles south of me in Santa Rosa. I was born and raised in SoCal though, so it takes some getting used to not having everything just a few minutes away lol
picked one up at Micro Center in Westbury, NY on Wednesday. The site says "Item Not Available" but their Twitter account confirmed 3 left in store. They actually had 4 left in store when I got there. $349.99 for the 32 GB model, about $380.00 after tax. Sweet deal
Ordered mine from amazon for $385. Had a $50 gift card to reduce it further. They also have the dock for $137 right now

One with the dock, but it probably has to be RMA'd. Unrecoverable bootloader error. Not a message that you want to see in Fastboot mode.

How much costs the RMA for "Unrecoverable bootloader error"? Is it really the $ 202 for the whole mainboard?
Somewhere in a polish forum I've read that a user got it the RMA for around $ 20.. but maybe his was just softbriked?!
Well, Asus should have to possibility to delete easily all partitions and reflash fastboot via apx, don't they?

I'm on my third tablet. My first had a dead pixel but was otherwise perfect. Walmart exchanged it with no hassles. The second started out perfect, but within a couple weeks, the touch input gave out. I would get ghost presses by lightly squeezing the left edge of the tablet (no more force than was required to hold the tablet with one hand; that was how I first noticed the ghost touches), then I would get random ghost touches regardless, and within a couple days, it didn't respond to touch input at all. That one also got returned without hassles.
This third tablet has been great minus the I/O issues. If the I/O could be fixed, my tablet would be perfect.
My first TF300 hand issues with the touch screen and went back to best buy for an exchange. Before that I had an TF101 whet through had to exchange my first two TF101 and the third one screen went out after about a year, so I upgraded to the TF300.
I I/O issues with just about all Asus tablets and the fact that I'vd had to exchange every Asus tablet at lest one leads me to think this will be my last Asus tablet. Even though I love Asus tablet and dock combo but, I'll probably be going with a Samsung next time.

The TF300 I have is from that same sale last year. IO seems to be better with a custom ROM. Only real issue mine has is that the micro SD slot broke last week and the card will not stay inserted. Not a big deal for me though.
