Price aside which do you guys recommend?

Transformer, better processor, especially with the Infinity. Plus, the screen is SO much larger! Just my opinion.

Infinity for sure it is an awesome tablet full 1080p and 16x9, it also just got jelly bean the other day!

Wow this is so weird, I was struggling with this decision myself very recently (like last night haha). I bought the TF700 and dock but was considering returning them and getting the N7. The TF700 is better in just about every category, but I'll go ahead and list out my thoughts here.

TF700
- 10"
- Better resolution
- IPS+ outdoor reading mode (basically super-juices the brightness)
- Better Processor (newest Tegra T33)
- Way more internal space, and slots for Micro SD and full size SD
- HDMI out
- Gorilla Glass 2
- Rear camera with backlighting and flash
- Asus is the next best thing to buying Nexus as far as updates go
- Just all around super slim and sexy
- Landscape mode (the N7 always stays in portrait)
- NvFlash (can recover from anything, even if you accidentally wipe your bootloader)
- DOCK. I can't overstate that. To me a tablet is purely a luxury item without a keyboard, and I know there are BT keyboards but...
- Dock has massive battery inside
- Dock closes like a laptop
- Dock has full size USB port
- Dock has Android buttons on it

Nexus 7
- $250 price point
- Nexus program, 'nuff said-
- Even though the screen is not as good, because the TF700 has such a high resolution it stutters sometimes
- Universal support (AOKP, CM, everyone and their grandma)

I am probably going to keep my TF700. I want this tablet to last for a long time, and I would hate to not get everything I wanted. I had the TF100T before this, and with the keyboard dock I rarely open my laptop anymore. What I will try to do is save up some cash and get the Nexus 7 as well for fun.

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING ABOUT THE DOCK!!! I was thinking about getting a macbook pro 10" mainly off size and performance...but I can get the infinity for free... but if I want the nexus I would have to pay the 250... plus asus is great with updates but idk... I want to have something light... because I plan on keeping it in my backpack

The TF700 is incredibly thin and light; I have no idea how they pulled off cramming such a beast into this slim, sexy body.

I have an update on my decision though. I was putting this off because I have fell in love with the TF700 in the few days I have had it. It is such a huge upgrade coming from the TF101 (which was no slouch itself), and the keyboard is actually a dream to type on whereas it took me quite awhile to get used to the TF101.

Hooking up my PS3 controller to the device and testing some graphic-intensive game is what I was putting off; I was having such a hard time making a decision that I came to the conclusion that I would let that be the judge. If the Infinity's breathtakingly beautiful screen would make the processor/GPU struggle I was going to have to return it for the N7; I actually use my tablet to game more than my PS3 now.

So anyways I hooked up the controller and opened up Dead Trigger (absolutely awesome and stunning game by the way). The first thing I did was go into the settings and let the game auto-detect the graphics level. My TF101 struggled along on the lowest setting; the game was absolutely playable, but turning was really slow (I originally attributed this to the game, as looking up/down and running was at a perfect speed) and the weapon rate of fire was extremely inconsistent. This was a perfect way to test the graphic and performance capability, and automatic rifles went from about 30% to full rate of fire depending on how many zombies were in frame or if a lot of other stuff was going on. My Razr was a small but noticeable upgrade, and the auto-detect still set my graphics at 'low'.

I was a bit nervous to see what the game decided, and hesitated for a few seconds. I wanted to love this tablet so bad, but if it struggled with this I had no choice but to abort it. As I pressed the button I closed my eyes, and opened them to confusion. I did not even know 'Ultra-High' was a setting, it was not even available on my TF101 or my Razr. I started getting excited, but still knew that the game would set the level based solely on the Tegra 3 T33's speed and not take the potential for the screen to drag frame rate down into account.

But to my great relief the game played like a dream. Frame rate was consistently high, the graphics were beautiful, and the P90 spat out a steady 900 rounds per minute. I am actually having some trouble adjusting to be honest, I can't help but laugh at the fact that I was way better at the game than I thought because of a low frame rate. I was wrong: the TF101 and Razr were only capable of showing this weapon spew about 90% of it's capability. I could not believe it; I was/am ecstatic. This tablet is everything I want in a device of this calibre. I am now stoked with my choice, but above all am elated that I do not have to sacrifice specs/preferences to get what I want.

I am still going to save up to purchase a Nexus 7 as well, but I can see myself loving the Infinity for a few years to come.

[Adr14ng]

My mom can get it through some teaching program for free but she doesn't care for gadgets (shes tech challenged) so she said she'd just give it to me

[tucstwo]

Yeah, Im a sucker for a Nexus device though. So free and open. Relocating to off-topic too
