Should I Buy?? Need Advice - Transformer TF300T General

I'm somewhat new to the "tablet" world. I bought a Xoom when it came out, needed the money so I sold it off. I'm an android fan (of course) and have the GSIII. Anyhoo, I have a chance to purchase a TF300T 32GB model today for $180. Is that a good deal? Is it worth me doing it?
I would appreciate any review/advice.

Are you kidding me? I had to pay 400€ for Tablet+key docking
Go get it! And consider buying a key docking as well
Using this device for few weeks now and I really appreciate having it. Replaced my netbook and offers me so much more features to it. And as far as I know it's the only tablet that offers a key docking as well - which is really useful

Thanks for the input! Looking at keydocks now. Know of any good case/portfolio for it? I'm about to start browsing.

Thoughts on this:

This one is a really good case for the TF300T, It can either be used with just the tablet or the tablet and dock. Nice and interchangeable

For that price, you need to get it ASAP! I paid $299 for my 32gb tf300t and $49.99 for a blue dock. I thought that was a very good price. $180 is a steal for a 32gb.

I bought it from Office Depot the day after Black Friday. I originally bought the 16gb from Best Buy for $279 but after reading here, I found that Office Depot had the 32gb for only $20 more so I took it back and went to Office Depot.

$575 shipped Xoom from Newegg

http://promotions.newegg.com/nepro/11-0828/index.html?&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&SID=skim115X178X44c16249ccf6a52d9999cf370ca5f65c
Newegg is running $25 off $100 for new customers. This makes $599.99 Xoom $575 shipped probably best price right now.
The code does not work for the XOOM.
are you sure, or are you not a new customer? i've been buying since they opened so i'm far from new, lol.
get it at Best buy; use your rewards card for 2% in points,plus you get 18months no interest!!
Never ever go to best buy as a first choice. Get it at costco, enjoy a 90 return policy and price protection. Plus They'll throw in a gel case.

Did you check the bottom of your xoom package? If it is not there, take it back and exchange.

Deal alert ! 405$ for the 16gb Thrive !

I just wanted to share my purchase . I got this deal and can't be happier . only 405 for the 16gb . I payed on sunday night and got my thrive by tuesday ! great buy ! can't pass it up ! enter promo code : thrive405
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ve-16gb-for-405-with-coupon-from-digital-etc/
I'll pay another $75 and get it from Costco... this way in 89 days I can return it and get the next tablet
I just picked mine up 2 days ago, found one on kijiji here locally the person had received the 32gb thrive with portfolio case and standard dock as a gift. He posted for 500$ and I got it all for 450$. He had also installed a screen protector, I think I got a good deal.
Grats Kyle, you got a deal
yeah whoever bought it was into it for 700 before tax
Don't really see the purpose of the standard dock and still need to figure alot out about the transferring files between my thrive and atrix. All in all I'm pretty pleased with the tablet.
It was only $379 at staples for the 16gb if you used the coupon

I love it, and and it has full size ports, usb, hdmi, and sdcard
Sent from my Thrive, rooted and looking for more.
The Amazon gold box deal over the weekend was even better. 8GB for $250. I missed it. For $250 you can't go wrong.
I jumped in on the groupon and Im rooted. I was going to wait a bit longer to get the asus transformer and keyboard but I couldnt pass this up

Do galaxy tabs go on sale?

Hi everyone,
I've already asked a similar question concerning the Asus transformer tablet and now I'm wondering if the same applies to the galaxy tab. Basically, what are the chances of a decent discount price in the next few weeks before I return home to NZ? I'm located in Manhattan at the moment.

The best I could find after looking since black Friday was 50.00 off so when best buy had it on sale yesterday I finally picked one up!
Best of luck finding a lower price. If you do make sure to post it up.

Me too! For $319, this thing kicks ass. Though it kicks ass for any price.

In Canada, Either Best Buy or Futureshop had $100 off the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as well as many other tablets.
I guess nobody has purchased the $32Gb version? Am I the only one?

100$ for 16gigs of space? Rip off. They purposefully left the sdcard slot out to lure us into this cash cow just like apple. Samsung should know better. My phone has more gigs...and a faster, better processor at that! The tab still is the best honeycomb out there tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100
Consider it a "ripoff" if you want. For my thinking the only way to get the space is to buy it with the tablet. I'd rather spend $100 now than run short of space later.
Ha! Endoran, everywhere I see you posting, you sound like a toolbag. Are you a teenager?
My phone has 40GB of space. But, it doesn't have a Tegra2, and I doubt yours does as well.
However, the GTab 10.1 rocks, with Task's ROM. Who cares how much storage is local? Storage comes and goes. I have servers with 32GB of RAM and terabytes of disk. Yet 16GB onboard is more than sufficient for my tablet.
Posted from a BAMF 'Bolt running Skyraider Zeus.
bought my 32gb from best buy cuz it was an open box (a return) for $525 couple days before christmas.
They have them at walmart for 400 witch is less than I paid

B&H is selling the Tab S3 for 497.99 with the keyboard

All,
This looks like a pretty good deal. B&H is selling Tab S3 with the Samsung keyboard for 497.99 - free shipping and no tax outside of NY & NJ.
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1346387-REG/samsung_samsung_32gb_galaxy_tab.html
I had ordered mine from Amazon for that same price, but without the keyboard, and it cost me about $540. Fortunately, I was able to return it to Amazon via Amazon Prime and ordered one via B&H. It doesn't look they have it in stock yet, so you will have to wait between 7-14 days to get it.
It's worth looking into if you don't mind waiting to get it.
I got for $499, july 6

I was using a Tab S1 that I recently sold on ebay. I am now using a 8" Galaxy Tab A till I get my S3. I wish the Tab S3 came with an 8" size.
I ordered mine on 7/6/17 with the same more shipping 7-14 days message. When did you order yours? I think you and I got the same deal since yours cost $2 more. That deal was gone and came back as 497.99.
Ordered same, 7/6. Have heard nothing yet. Was using a Remix OS Tablet, just a little too large for my liking and travel. Sold mine on ebay as well.
Cheers,
Gary
Best Buy price matched this for me today. Not a bad deal at all.

I did the same and since they reduced the tab price 129 and charged full price on keyboard, I simply returned the keyboard and got the tab for 370.

I tried, but they wouldn't match it for me because B&H did not have it in stock. Apparently, they would only match items that are in atock at the time of the price match. Fortunately, it still works in my favor 'cause I gotnit with no tax or shipping fee.
