I've been researching A LOT and I'm still pretty undecided between the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. I want the tablet mainly for college (browsing sites and videos (often with multiple tabs open), reading (sometimes rather heavy) pdf's, docs e powerpoints, taking some notes, etc.) and for some entertainment (web browsing, email, youtube, music and movies). It should be noted I'm not much of a gamer.
So far, what I found was this:
-The Asus has 32gb of memory (with the added bonus of the Asus WebStorage that I think will add to the 32gb of WebStorage provided by my Asus notebook - HUGE plus for me since I need to carry heavy documents to college and need to trade them frequently between my pc and tablet)
-The Asus has a superior processor (but will it be noticeable when browsing with multiple tabs and with really heavy pdfs or just with gaming?)
-The browsing in the Asus one is a bit slower (despite the superior processor)
-The Samsung has a better battery and with less consumption both in standby and heavy working (which is a plus)
-The Samsung has better speakers (not so important to me)
-The Asus has better cameras, both front and back (again, not so important)
-From the numerous reviews I've read, I think the Samsung has a more sturdy plastic construction while the back of the Asus is a bit cheap and the Asus OS/software is a bit more unstable (some freezes and whatnot)
-Asus seems to be more diligent with updates than Samsung (I'm thinking a future Jelly Bean update)
-The Asus TF300T seems to have more community for development than the Galaxy Tab 2. Am I wrong?
I've got the Samsung for a few days and it has been responsive and all, but I haven't done any heavy work on it yet. I can trade it for the Asus next week (they are the same price, without the dock), but I don't know if I should.
What would you advise me to do, based on the usage I want from the tablet? Should I keep the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 or trade it for the Asus Transformer Pad TF300T without the dock?
