I'd pass on the Nook Tablet. It's a souped up e-reader not a tablet. The hardware is good, but you'll have to hack it to make it any sort of tablet and even then there will be bugs on it. I had the Nook Color so I speak from experience. You can get a refurb of just about anything in the $200-300 range if you look in the right places.

I didn't know of Honeycomb but will probably get that. Anyone suggest a 16/32GB, wifi Honeycomb Tablet for around $200-$300? Dude, when are you coming here? Black friday had honey comb running transformer for $299 every where. By the time you get here they may be clearing out stock for the prime, and you could get a great deal. Don't go with the kindle fire. It is laggy and slow. The Barnes and Noble Nook tablet is a better option. But I am telling you, you could possibly find a $300 transformer by the time you get here. December 27th through to January 9th

I would happily trade my 16 GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 for a 32 GB Transformer. I have lust in my heart for the Transformer.

I am fascinated by the dock form factor. I see that as the future of the laptop. Tablet that you carry around. You dock it and it becomes a laptop. Sign me up.

Hulk, are you going to get the prime? It is slimmer than the ipad, has a nice aluminum back, quad core, and the dock is a lot easier to assemble than the transformer. It seems like one you'd enjoy.

A lot of tablets use keyboard docks where you can fold. I wouldn't call these tablets as the future of laptops as they aren't really Tablet PCs. The Samsung Series 7 Slate is the closest thing to an actual good tablet PC and those actually cost more than laptops.

Not likely. I've had close to half a dozen tablets just this year. I have two now. I don't need a 3rd and the only way I'd pick up a Prime is if I could trade my 10" Tab for it straight up. That's not likely to happen. I don't see anything about it that makes me want to drop the big money on it.

So the 32GB Transformer is a good choice? Best Buy have them for $450 atm, so kinda in my budget!

I'm thinking about picking up the Transformer myself and was just wondering how easy the OS is to use? I've never used an Android device before, but have a lot of experience with iOS.
Will I be able to jump in and download whatever I want, send emails etc etc without having much of a learning curve?

Best way to make sure though, is go out and demo them and see how you like it.

My wife wants to buy one of these tablet for her brother. He's only 14. We were think about the kindle fire but i'm not sure. Only needs it to surf the net and play games. I saw the Transformer 16 GB but they cost around $400. I'm not sure about spending that much. Anybody else have any other suggestions on what type of tablet I can get around $200 to 300.

The Kindle Fire is great for its price. I can't imagine what more a 14 year would want to do with a tablet except play games, watch videos, and browse the internet--all of which the Kindle fire can do. There is no camera though.
