Dfsdirectsales.com has some fairly often. They're off-lease Dells from businesses. Usually very cheap for what you get.

Dfsdirectsales.com tends to have a bunch of refurbed 1U servers that have come off lease. I've been tempted to grab one for awhile, but I have to give my wife justification, first.

Latest update on my tf201 is that each time asus comes out with a push update, my wifi breaks for about two days. It continually drops connection, reconnects, drops again, etc. As fast as the tablet can manage it. After roughly two days, it works again. Really freaking bizarre, and is enough of...

Well then. My job is procurement, and Newegg may be off the list. I've ordered things from NE with overnight shipment many times in the past. Heck, when I lived in San Diego and was ordering things for myself, I was close enough to their distribution center than standard ground shipping got...

Hey... so that firmware update? At least for me and a few people who have posted on Asus' Facebook page, it actually BROKE the wifi! Whereas I formerly had no wifi issues, I now can connect for a few seconds at a time before the connection drops, sitting in the same room as my router. Way to...

Having worked with my TP awhile now, I can say that the wifi is stable, but weak. I don't have the super annoying fluctuations in strength, and it's plenty good enough at my house/SB/B&N. However, at my work? Another company in our complex has a random unsecured wireless access point, which I...

I've supported a govvie group which used a ton of the E6410s and E6420s as well. I have to say... I find them to be fantastic machines, but the users will find hilarious ways to break ANYTHING. Really, I've seen a laptop come in with the keyboard bashed in after the user claimed he dropped his...

That is an issue I've run into, because Maxpedition is more focused on firearms and anything outdoorsy than dealing with sensitive electronics. It'd definitely be appreciated if they just released a handful of differently sized tablet/laptop pouches to add on, but again, not their focus...

I use a Maxpedition bag. Pricy, but it's got a ton of fantastic features, and it's built to a ridiculously durable standard. Also, adjustable enough that no matter what the load, I can make it fit more like a glove.

It's almost like there's an entire thread, on the first page of this forum, about the Transformer Prime and which deals extensively with those issues. Oh wait. Also... as I said in that thread, I haven't used the bluetooth or GPS on my Prime, but the WiFi works just fine. Everything else...

Agreed. I read through and tried to understand what point was being made. I failed. I really, really don't know what the OP is trying to get at.

Wifi has been fine for me. It tends to pickup wifi from a shorter distance than the other wireless devices I deal with, but the strength is consistent (measured across hours of web browsing on my couch and while wandering around my house), and the speed is fantastic Take that as you will - if...

Whatever the availability issues, or higher specced versions coming out, the transformer prime is awesome. Not overly thrilled with ice cream sandwich being incompatible with a lot of apps, but whatever. Yep, typing this on mine-it came Friday.

What the heck... you seem to be right. Newegg has one, open-box version still listed. I don't know what to think about that. I mean, Amazon? They list things that no one's had in stock for years.

Even better - my day job is finding stock of obscure items. :D Well, general procurement, but finding stock, as opposed to "oh, that'll be a 12-16wk lead time" is highly desired.
