Tablet advice: Asus Transformer TF700T (current) or new Amazon Fire HD 10

johnnytriplesix · Mar 22, 2018

I currently have the Asus Transformer TF700T which is obviously more than a few years old. I was tempted to pick up the new Amazon Fire HD 10 but was unsure if it would be an upgrade.

I havent really seen anyone compare the 2 outside of general specs but they dont seem too different.

one thing i would watch out for is to make sure amazon gives you access to the google play store. they may only give you access to their own app store. also with android tablets these days i find it's best to have at least one with 2GB of ram

Thanks. Yeah, one reason I was considering the Fire HD 10 was because it had 2gb of RAM as opposed to the 1gb with the ASUS Transformer

Amazon will never give you access to Google Playstore, at least not in our realm, unless you flashed the tablet with custom ROM.
I duno if such ROMs are available for Amazon's tablets.

Im not sure I see a huge benefit in the Google Play store as opposed to Amazon's. Ia there something I'm missing?

the amazon app store is very limited as opposed to play store. but if there are only a few apps you need from play store you can always sideload them onto the tablet
