Sell HP touch pad, buy transformer?

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...

Check out the transformer 300. Right now ice cream sandwich has been unstable in the tf101 for some ppl including me.

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.

$150 for a Tf101 good at this point?

I broke my tablet and I was on Craigslist and I found this model in really good condition for $150, was it a good buy?

I would definitely say yes

I would buy a second one for that price!

Thanks I'm glad I got it then, I read the reviews but since they were over a year old I wasn't sure, but for 150 it seems pretty good

If you want to sell it to me for $150, I'll take it too...
You have a very good deal, man. Here in Toronto, most people are still selling a 32GB model for $300-$350!

Same here!

For all the aggrivation and problems ive had with the tf101, $150 is too much. I'd spend three times that amount to get a working device.

I was about to say the same, I would even hesitate if someone offered to pay me $150 to take another one, seriously.
6 months of this is enough for me, I have had enough with this company and this tablet

LOL. Yeah, it's like giving someone a curse. Such a shame too. Asus could have made this situation a lot better.

My Transformer was rock solid till I got greedy and wanted ICS on it. ICS on Transformer has been a nightmare.
That said I love this tablet when it works, it get's used and abused every day.
Just ordered a Nexus 7 yesterday though, gonna see how the 7 inch form factor works out for me. Still Asus made, so I have fingers crossed.
O.

Yep, I feel like ASUS owe me and everyone else with the problems, some sort of partial refund at least. It's not like a laptop where you could install a different OS until they sort their stuff out.
Because of asus' incompetency, it has now been useless longer than it has been stable, imo that is not acceptable and if I could be bothered I would fight for a full refund and be done with them.
Since ICS, the tablet has sat unused the majority of the time because of the sheer number of bugs making it a chore to use rather than an enjoyment.
And what irritates me is all the feedback on the problems people on their FB page give, and asus completely ignore it and post childish "Happy Friday" etc comments as if they are some silly little school girl talking to her little friends
Company has gone from top 3 to never again for me

Is this problem only on the Tf101 with ics or on all the other ones as well?

Seems half of you had a good experience and the other half didn't which makes me wonder, did the half that had trouble with it had it rooted and flashed with custom roms or was it stock? I've only had it for a couple of days and I love it, keep in mind my last tablet was a dell steak 7 which was kinda bad,

I'm completely stock, and un-rooted. I have zero issues, and I use my tablet all day long. I also have about 100 apps installed. I had some minor issues on the initial ICS release, but they are long gone. If I had a fraction of the issues being reported, I'd have "eBayed" my TF a long time ago, or installed a custom ROM.

Stock, not rooted. Many hardware and software issues.

Great for me
hy there,
firstly in my country the transformer 16gb wifi still sels for about 300 usd - used not in a store. at the price you got it... i would buy another.
about problems.... mine is rooted and using revolution hd rom. no issues with it and it is used daily.
also i have the dock and it helps me with the transition from my laptop.

Megatron 1.1.6, Guevor Test kernel, dual booting Ubuntu (loopmounted) and I can say I've had zero problems since Guevor Test 15 or so, its a wonderful device if you get off the stock train. I'm currently selling mine on ebay for $360 with the dock, but only because I really need the money.

How did you get it so cheap?

My guess is becuase it was "open box"... that means used. Generally means its a fully functioning device, might have been touched once, but because it was opened they cant sell it for full price anymore.

Selling Acer a500.. but for how much?

Im trying to sell my a500 which is rooted and is in great condition. I have a cover for it that has three different settings for standing it up which also covers the screen. There is nothing wrong with the tablet and im not trying to sell it here unless i actually found a buyer but i was wondering what do you guys think would be a good price? Ive had it since january 2012 and its running 4.03. The only reason im selling it is i want to get the asus transformer tf300
Sent from my Iconia A500 using Tapatalk 2

Oddly enough, I was looking to do the same and get the Nexus 7 tab. Just doing a Google shop search on the a500, I see refurbished ones starting at $250. I was thinking of selling mine, just like yours (perfect shape etc), to friends for ~$250.

That sounds pretty reasonable.. thanks

IMHO, getting another Android tablet same size with different brand, I don't see any benefit to it. Have you gone to the store and try the Asus TF300? I went to Bestbuy (store in USA) and tried it out but didn't notice any much different.

I just want to sell it while it still has its value and thats actually a good idea to go to best buy.. did you see any that you liked better than the a500?

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?

They're not very smart, the devs here could design a better bootloader for the tf300 than Asus

I bought mine with the keyboard dock, as a refurbished model from woot last november. Haven't had any issues with it at all

Best buy was a lot more helpful than Asus... they let me exchange it 3 times without losing or using my replacement plan.

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.

Not really sure. I was using the tablet to listen to music and browse the web before bed and when I was putting it up I noticed the card was sticking out and I couldn't click it back in.
