TF700 to TF701: Still laggy or other issues?

[lmb02]

Hello,

I don't think this has been explicitly asked, and if so, my apologies, but does the 701 have the same performance lag issues the 700 has? Or are there others that make upgrading nothing more than choosing one problem over another?

I've seen comments about docks, Wi-Fi, sharp edges, reduced features (camera and screen), but spread out over the forum.

Could people who have migrated please chime in with their experiences?

Thanks

The difference between the 700 and 701 is like night and day. Absolutely no lag with the 701, much better wifi sensitivity and much louder audio. The camera is fine for snapshots and doesn't bother me neither does the lack of flash. I have yet to find any sharp she's or screen bleed like others have mentioned. This is the way the 201 should have been when it first came out.

Yeah the lag is completely fixed, the useability is great. Pretty much every other aspect other than performance is worse to some degree. At 400$, which I've seen it go on sale for, its very competitive since the current market for 10" tablet is lacking. The screen and camera is an annoying backstep to me. Thicker and heavier doesn't really bother me. Overall it seems to run as smoothly as my Nexus 4 which is all I ever wanted from my TF700. So overall I am less frustrated, but I wish they just upgraded the important bits of the 700 and left the rest alone.

I got so frustrated with my TF700 I didn't think I would buy another Asus anything. But anyway I picked up the 701 and, ya, it's a completely different animal.

No lag, very snappy performance, MUCH better battery life esp in standby. I tried everything on the old one including root/unlock custom ROM, Lagfix blah blah blah nothing really made much difference. I have no desire to unlock the new one everything just works so good the way it is.
I found I wasn't using the keyboard much with my old one so I didn't bother for the 701. I did spring for the transcover which is pricey but I really like it.
