| 1257465 | 2012-02-06 09:28:00 | However I may need a tablet in year 13, and dad won't get me a decent one so if i put the money towards that then I could get a really good one (I'm in yr 11 now). And by that time win 8 and later androids will be out. However chill, The transformer is a good option if that sort of thing is still around because of the laptop capabilities | skeptile2 (16539) | ||
| 1257466 | 2012-02-06 18:10:00 | Yup Transformer is great, best of both tablet & netbook worlds... GameJunkie, I do :D its the best!! |

| 1257467 | 2012-02-06 19:38:00 | didnt you have the nexus s (still?) ??? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1257468 | 2012-02-07 18:26:00 | Galaxy S, I still have that as a backup Telecom phone at the moment (Was the i9000T). | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1257469 | 2012-02-07 19:56:00 | "backup Telecom" is a bit redundant isn't it? Isn't Telecom already infinitely retarded? ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1257470 | 2012-02-07 23:48:00 | Ha, funny guy ;) No we've stuck with them because the XT network speed and coverage blows away the competition. Anyway it's not so much for me, my Galaxy Nexus is kick-ass, an awesome all around phone, and I can't wait to have more of a play with NFC when my blank tokens / chips / whatever they are arrive later this week. Wifey is still rockin' my old Nexus One and doesn't seem to want an upgrade, even though I've offered her a Galaxy Nexus as well?! |

| 1257472 | 2012-02-13 09:56:00 | Sooo...my 16yr son has suddenly noticed tablets - so he wants one. Personally I think an netbook would be better but what do I know? :D Whats the advantage of the more expensive keyboard Transformer? Other tablets? He's going to pay for this himself so I want to help him make a good decision. Frankly his PS3 does everything he wants with household pcs for the rest. And he can't afford a 3G contract. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
| 1257473 | 2012-02-13 10:14:00 | sorry to be anti climatic.... but if you've got $500, why don't you buy a $100 phone and then grab some friends and spend the remaining $400 on a road trip or something to that effect? | forrest44 (754) | ||
| 1257474 | 2012-02-13 18:21:00 | The Transformer has a glass touchscreen, reinforced glass (I don't think it's "Gorilla Glass" but an alternative brand) so it won't scratch. The flash memory is significantly "safer" to lug around than a HDD, although much smaller in terms of capacity too. The battery life is significantly better, great for lugging around High-school / Uni etc where you're not always guaranteed a power socket. I know that when I was at Uni there was always mini-brawls over who got the power sockets, even WITH me bringing my 4-way power board. Wifi works fine on the Transformer, in fact I've not seen any 3G models available here. What else would he be using it for ? |
