OK, I need that little push to make me hit the buy button. Here's what the deal is.
Been thinking about getting a tablet for awhile now. Better half says go ahead and get it. But to get what I want and don't go 2nd best but keep the price reasonable.
Here's what I have pending. From e-Bay. Factory reburb with 90 day warranty. (we'll talk about that latter)
Model ASUS T100TA-B2-GR 10.1” Tablet Intel Z3775 1.46GHz 2GB 32GB SSD Win 8.1 T100TA
I was comparing a MS Surface Pro, Asus Transformer and a Galaxy Tab S. All have the features I want and some that are not important but nice (for instance the duel cam on the Galaxy). I'm comfortable with both Android and Windows (Ver 7, 8.1 and 10 when available).
About that refurb. It's been my experience that most often (especially on electronics) that refurbs are as good or better than factory new. I say this because a reburf is gone over by an indivudual and totally checked out for all aspects and features. As opposed to an assembly line QC check that may or may not get a complete check. The only thing not replaced is the battery on refurb items. The warranty is 90 days vs one year.
OK, now here is the thing. The e-Bay price is $199.99m including shipping.
I have never had a bad refurb, but have had bad "new" items that had to be returned or warranted.
I'm looking for opinions on the model and it's features more so than the refurb aspect.
Thanks Guys
