I can't believe you got 29 dislikes? I used your review of the Samsung Galaxy SIII as a benchmark before I upgraded to iPhone 5. I'm so pleased with my SGS3. You actually showed all the important features of both the iPhone 5 and SGS3 which ultimately steered me to purchase the Samsung. I'm shopping for a tablet and I use your reviews (and CNET) for my final word on what to purchase. Thanks man!
The unboxing was a bit slow to watch. I frequently wonder why people feel they need to show it unless there is some trick shrink wrap that might damage a part if taken off wrong. But the review was excellent. Well done.
I thought the same thing until I ordered something that was not wrapped by manufacturer and was a used product that was passed off as NEW Unopened product and it was not. These videos with the complete unboxing really do help to make sure that you get it as it was supposed to be packaged. But that is why it is nice to just FF to the parts I do want to watch. Great video/job on reviews.
I'd like to know as well but from talking to my family all of us like different ones. We looked at so many videos, android access, specs, reviews and also the very wide price ranges. We all come to different conclusions (even when we ignore prices). In just 2 weeks we found the next best thing appear. Something tells me that I should wait till Black Friday to see what comes out or upgrades b4 I think of spending that kind of money.
Thanks Mike for an excellent review. I currently own a Toshiba Thrive that I purchased last Christmas. Wanted to upgrade and was trying to decide between an iPad and the Asus Infinity. I went with the Infinity and am awaiting its arrival from Amazon. Your video was very informative and probably the best on TH-cam. Thanks again.
I showed my dad your videos and i showed him the great feature of the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 so he decided to buy me one so thanks we out it on layaway so by the 13 of dec we gonna pick it up and wrap it up for christmas!!!!
Good Question...Depends on what if you are a regular Pen user. Seems like the Asus has more options to use programs. I think Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 only lets you use Samsung programs for apps. I would love it if this came in a stylus inside of it too. Gotta say that I was wowed by the double screen on the Taichi and the Lenovo Yoga was nice idea too. So thin and light and touch screen did work with a generic stylus when the sales person tried it for fun. If folds back to use it as a tablet
That display has a pretty high resolution for that kind of display. My old Windows based HP Compaq 8510w has a 15.4" screen and it has the same screen resolution.
Hi DetroitBORG! Thank you for your *fantastic* reviews and comparisons! You really helped me make a decision between the new Asus Transformer Infinity and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10; I chose the Asus and so far I'm loving it. Thanks again!!
I'm seriously thinking of purchasing one and your reviews are simply great! I'm between the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Asus Transformer Infinity. In short I like the Samsung's stereo speakers on the front and the design looks kinda more sturdy, but I also like the HD display on the Infinity. Decisions! Decisions! :) Can't seem to pick the right one. Anyway hope before this Christmas I'll be an owner of either one. Thanks Mike for a perfect review! Keep up the good work!
Hey Mike what is up! I have another question for you (I say another one because I've made you one already :P) You know this tablet has the 4.0 android version. My question is: when this gets upgraded to 4.1, the features will be upgraded as well? For example, the two drop down menus you shown on the nexus 10, or it depends on the tablet itself? Please answer this, because of this depends my purshase of a tablet :P cause im between this one and the nexus 10
first off, great video lots of information and interaction with the tablet itself which really helps. second, question.of all the latest tablets, that support the latest adobe flash,which one would you recommend for watching videos. prob wont b used for much else, a few games but mostly videos.
My cousin is thinking about a tablet and he was talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, then I watched your review of both the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and this ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Tablet and thought I'd ask which you might recommend for him?
Hi.. let me ask you, what would you get for studies purposes , ipad 4 , galaxy note 10.1 or nexus 10? what I want is scan my documents (old regular papers books) and then read them in an regular good enough screen..
Hello! Not to be rude, but I don't have time to watch the entire video right now, therefore I'll have to ask you this one question: Is this 'the best' Android tablet out on the market right now? I'm not really into phones and tablets anymore, but I need one quick for game development - price isn't an issue, and I'll need two.
@Itsmetriciaa it's better if you get a surface because it comes with microsoft office 2013 and one note for taking notes. If you want to do drawing, you might want to get the surface pro because it comes with a digitizer pen which is better for drawing. It too, comes with full office
Hmm, very interesting review, I was wondering, what would be your choice between the ASUS transformer Pad Infinity and the Sony Xperia Tablet 10.1? Very helpful videos, keep it up!
@DetroitBORG: can you tell me your opinion about iOS and Android and what advantages and disadvantages both OSs have and of course, which one you like/use the most.
It is pretty cool & clear explantation. I just buy new Asus 700T today, I am new so after i see your video. it's good help.thanks..really clear for me.. Question, so after set up date then i can go to web browser directly without connect to internet? I want to use Google Chrome for my main pages.Also, do i need Hot Spot to reduce single weakness? I paid for $50. Have you purchased insurance to cover/fix damange $100..i am regretful now.if i want to see photo to save on file, where i can find it?
Ok imkyleee thanks for your comment I had a choice between the tf300t or the tf700t but I heard that the tf300t has wifi and GPS problems due to the mettle back and do you know when the tf700t is coming to the grate Briton (the country where I live) thanks please reply
Hmm I see,since my first smartphone ever was the Galaxy S ||| I was thrilled with it, after putting CM 10.1 on it I loved it even more, so fast, so slick and without clutter. I'll wait for a successor for the TF700 because the keyboard dock with its battery, SD slot and the tablet can also be expanded with Micro SD really increases the usability of the tablet.
with all these android tablets I never have a problem choosing. iPad wins easy, but when windows 8 for tablets comes out it will start to get difficult to choose.
LOL awesome video im posting this comment while still watching but i have a question, can i have this? :P i live in michigan so i swear shipping wont cost anything! :)
Samsung Tab vs this which would ya recommend? I'm going to College next year, and would like to know. So which would be best for College stuff would be great beneficial.
I don't think it's outdated. The only thing it's 'missing' ofr today's standards is 2 gigs of RAM and maybe a more up-to-date processor. But then again; a Tegra 3 is powerful enough. :) Just make sure that when you get it, you should root and unlock it. The stock rom is laggy, whereas the custom roms are blazing fast :)
Actually he was right. According to Asus, the pronunciation comes from the word Pegasus so it IS an soft "a" sound. That said, I prefer and use the other pronunciation.
Both models as of now can be updated with the new version of Android's Jelly Bean, The Asus is on their website but Samsung's not official yet but can be found on the net. Me too would like to grab one with Jelly Bean but can't wait the "wait" anymore!! :D
Ordered mine from Amazon on October-17-20120. Received it on October-19-20120. Returning to Amazon on October-23-2012. Multiple self reboots. Created 2 VPN connections one day, vanished the next. Wireless signal strength fluctuates. Just my two cents of course.
They should make a 16gb transformer pad infinity and make the price of the keyboard dock 100$. I bet that would make it sell a heck of alot more units.
Actually it should be pronounced Aye-sus cause the company named Asus using the last four letters from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology. Nice review btw.
The one he has if not called blue so that is why you won't find it listed as blue. It is the Amethyst Grey that has a bluish hue to it. Comes in 32 ($488) or 64GB ($604.99) the champagne in 64GB is a bit less ($579.99)Sold on Amazon website There is a ASUS Transformer TF300 T-B1-BL 10.1-Inch 32 GB Tablet (Blue)or (White) one
So we bought this tablet.. it works great.. but sometimes the tablet randomly resets itself when there's a script error on a web page (like when the browser crashes) or the Facebok app encounters an error. Is there a way to fix this?
Watching this in 2018 and hoping Asus and other OEMs would be making more 2-in-1s in the future. Having a keyboard is really a plus.
one day you will be a certified tablet tester for companies
amazing review
great job with all your videos
u are just AWESOME
all the manufacturers should automatically give you their new devices to review. fantastic videos.
You should work for big review sites.. you have great voice and the way you review stuff is really great :)
I can't believe you got 29 dislikes? I used your review of the Samsung Galaxy SIII as a benchmark before I upgraded to iPhone 5. I'm so pleased with my SGS3.

That boot up was fast, it's blazing fast!
this product was so ahead of it´s time
I thought the same thing until I ordered something that was not wrapped by manufacturer and was a used product that was passed off as NEW Unopened product and it was not.

I went with the Infinity and am awaiting its arrival from Amazon. Your video was very informative and probably the best on TH-cam. Thanks again.
Very nice reviews, they clearly show almost all aspects of the devices. Sub'd :)
I love the fact that you have the "review" and "unboxing" in one video.
The Note 10.1 is a great tab for students because of multiscreen. It helps a lot
Jack Davies zero problems with wifi and GPS. Overseas there is a LTE model available in Germany.
Another great video! Wonder if he went to the coldplay concert the other day
This was an excellent review video. Very thorough, understandable and well-shot/ edited.
love your vids man you should be sponsored or part of revision 3!!!!
I showed my dad your videos and i showed him the great feature of the samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 so he decided to buy me one so thanks we out it on layaway so by the 13 of dec we gonna pick it up and wrap it up for christmas!!!!
2020 here, smashing vid, thx (I love this combo unit, such an amazing picture and the sound is good too)

Asus Transformer Pad Infinity is my personal favourite tablet.
That display has a pretty high resolution for that kind of display. My old Windows based HP Compaq 8510w has a 15.4" screen and it has the same screen resolution.
:P Thanks for keeping me up-to-date with the "new correct pronunciation".
It does seem to have hints of blue to it and not so warm grey as the other color when you have them side by side it is more noticeable.
Hi DetroitBORG! Thank you for your *fantastic* reviews and comparisons! You really helped me make a decision between the new Asus Transformer Infinity and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10; I chose the Asus and so far I'm loving it. Thanks again!!

I'm sorry, I probably missed this, but will you be doing a benchmark video along with some gameplay testing?
The Tegra 3 is actually a 5-core Processor, 1 of which is a low powered core.
Hey. Detroitborg, I would like to thank u, for your videos, they are very informative and with excellent resolution. Keep on the GOOD job!!!!
I have this tablet and its super awesome! I would give a more detailed comment, but Im sleepy right now so...
first off, great video lots of information and interaction with the tablet itself which really helps.
second, question.of all the latest tablets, that support the latest adobe flash,which one would you recommend for watching videos. prob wont b used for much else, a few games but mostly videos.
LOVE THIS TABLET!!!! it is very fast and runs SUPER smooth. Recommend updating to recommended(i think 4.1.0 jellybean...)
great video you did a good job ,i now wanna buy one of these
Another great review! Nice job. Question, on the video the WiFi signal was pretty low. Were you far from your time capsule?
You're telling me the file manager manages files? How insightful
How long is the battery life for playing onlive or tegrazone games? But great video btw Im subbed. :)
What a great review, thanks learned a lot by watching your video, love this device
Where did you get the blue one? I like that one and I want to order it this week. Can you help me out with the link?
My cousin is thinking about a tablet and he was talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, then I watched your review of both the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 and this ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Tablet and thought I'd ask which you might recommend for him?
I am your fan and this video is also cool
I'm about to get a tablet for Christmas, but I'm considering this one or the Surface by Microsoft. Which one do you recommend me c: ?
Hi.. let me ask you, what would you get for studies purposes , ipad 4 , galaxy note 10.1 or nexus 10? what I want is scan my documents (old regular papers books) and then read them in an regular good enough screen..

press the power/sleep button at the same time as the + volume and it should take pictures :)
@Itsmetriciaa it's better if you get a surface because it comes with microsoft office 2013 and one note for taking notes. If you want to do drawing, you might want to get the surface pro because it comes with a digitizer pen which is better for drawing. It too, comes with full office
Hmm, very interesting review, I was wondering, what would be your choice between the ASUS transformer Pad Infinity and the Sony Xperia Tablet 10.1?
Very helpful videos, keep it up!
Mike, when it comes out, can u review the Samsung galaxy note 2 and galaxy note 10,1?? Thanks
Hi DetroitBORG, Nice video!!! can you suggest me a good place to buy tabs in troy mi? I am looking forward to buy N10
very detailed and nice, thanks and keep up the good work. god bless
your voice is awesome...
@DetroitBORG: can you tell me your opinion about iOS and Android and what advantages and disadvantages both OSs have and of course, which one you like/use the most.
I don't know if this is common but I just received my Transformer Infinity and it won't turn on. Do I have to fully charge it before first use?
It is pretty cool & clear explantation. I just buy new Asus 700T today, I am new so after i see your video. it's good help.thanks..really clear for me.. Question, so after set up date then i can go to web browser directly without connect to internet? I want to use Google Chrome for my main pages.Also, do i need Hot Spot to reduce single weakness? I paid for $50. Have you purchased insurance to cover/fix damange $100..i am regretful now.if i want to see photo to save on file, where i can find it?
Hey are you giving them (both) away anytime soon cause I REALLY NEED THEM (both).
I am so glad I got a Tegra Note 7 instead of this!
Ok imkyleee thanks for your comment I had a choice between the tf300t or the tf700t but I heard that the tf300t has wifi and GPS problems due to the mettle back and do you know when the tf700t is coming to the grate Briton (the country where I live) thanks please reply
nice unboxing!!!
Em watching this vdo in my asus tablet k014 😄 in 2020 november 11 😜👍 still my tablet working good almost 5 years i have this asus tablet
14:46 Oh.. Hello agent Smith! xD
Nice. Very informative. Thanks.
do you think Apple may/should release an iPad keyboard dock ?
Hmm I see,since my first smartphone ever was the Galaxy S ||| I was thrilled with it, after putting CM 10.1 on it I loved it even more, so fast, so slick and without clutter. I'll wait for a successor for the TF700 because the keyboard dock with its battery, SD slot and the tablet can also be expanded with Micro SD really increases the usability of the tablet.
Ok so now every apple awaiting tablet is available which one will you recomend amongst them?
Nice presentation
I'm getting the tablet soon too with the keyboard included for only $59. I don't know why people buy it without the tablet.
buenisimo gracias y tambien aprendo aprendo arto ingles gracias
How many tablets does this guy have and what does he do with them after the review?
with all these android tablets I never have a problem choosing. iPad wins easy, but when windows 8 for tablets comes out it will start to get difficult to choose.
nice review
LOL awesome video im posting this comment while still watching but i have a question, can i have this? :P i live in michigan so i swear shipping wont cost anything! :)
Samsung Tab vs this which would ya recommend? I'm going to College next year, and would like to know. So which would be best for College stuff would be great beneficial.
gr8 review... Good job..
Does this still have the wifi problems or have they been sorted and can you get a 3G version please reply
Thanks!!!
love my TF700. Best tablet we have..
s3 bro ull never regret it
I don't think it's outdated. The only thing it's 'missing' ofr today's standards is 2 gigs of RAM and maybe a more up-to-date processor. But then again; a Tegra 3 is powerful enough. :)
Just make sure that when you get it, you should root and unlock it. The stock rom is laggy, whereas the custom roms are blazing fast :)
You have a nice house :)
If anyone is looking for a good tablet mainly for gaming, check out the nexus 7/10. it has tegra and it has good graphics too. and it's alot cheaper.
Very good review..thank you ;-)
Actually he was right. According to Asus, the pronunciation comes from the word Pegasus so it IS an soft "a" sound. That said, I prefer and use the other pronunciation.
Both models as of now can be updated with the new version of Android's Jelly Bean, The Asus is on their website but Samsung's not official yet but can be found on the net. Me too would like to grab one with Jelly Bean but can't wait the "wait" anymore!! :D

Looks like an awesome tablet
I know what you're talking about. I had the same problems, until I did a factory reset. It starts to lag when you upload the tablet to Jelly Bean..
Actually it should be pronounced Aye-sus cause the company named Asus using the last four letters from Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology.
Nice review btw.
so great
What is your favorite tablet/user experience iPad or this or something else?
Asus's original name was Pegasus, so you actually pronounce it as A-Soose :)
really good review. thanks!
The one he has if not called blue so that is why you won't find it listed as blue. It is the Amethyst Grey that has a bluish hue to it.

I like the HD facetime or front facing camera and how it is HD quality
Detroitborg, why are you doing making videos on so many android devices? I need more apple!
