Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 16G Tablet for $439

80

Was $429 in the Good Guys, now this is the best price I can find. 32G with Docking is $669, I don't know if the price for that is good or not.

I did a bit study on this. Amazon is selling at US$394 now and P/H to Australia is US$13.94, which is US$407.94 = AU$418.30.

Further more, I rang Asus to check the warranty, they said this one only has local warranty, which means if I buy from Amazon, I can only get the North American warranty.

So by paying $20 more you can get local warranty and don't need to wait 8-16 working days for the delivery.

    $439 is not a bargain!

  • Well, I checked the staticice and shopbot, this is the best price I can find so far. Any ideas who is doing this cheaper?

      • Any VIC store? They are in QLD~~~

          You can have it delivered for around 15 bucks I think.

      • Yes, it costs $15.61 to get it delivered. But they charge 3% for payment which work out $428 in total… I will rather buy it locally for the post sale services.

        But the question is shall I buy it now or shall I wait till I sold the Acer A500?

          I reckon keep the Acer and wait until the new ones come out.

  • i know once upon a time amazon had it cheaperr

    But I have to get rid of my Acer A500 first, got from HN for $389. I have to say the performance sucks… I read some posts online, it seems the transformer's performance is much better. Any ideas?

      Be patient and wait for a next gen model which will be faster and cheaper

      • Do you know when will the release the next gen?

        • Earliest estimate october.

      • Yea, by the time the new model come out you will say the same thing again. In the end, you will never own one.

    • spec for spec for performance, the acer shouldn't be too far off a transformer. Maybe there's tweaks and stuff you can do to unleash it's full potential? I'd do some googling before offloading the acer.

    • Beware of IPS screen, it may suffer from some backlight leakage and also the left speaker issue. It depends on your luck.

  • Yeah, it's an OK price. But it's not exactly exciting.

    Not worth a neg, but not worth a pos.

    Wow, this is my first post. I didn't expect it to be that many replies. Thank you all, guys. ;P

  • For $20 and local warranty worth it
