Good deal on prime keyboard dock

[wmurch3]

Best Buy has the prime keyboard dock for $99 on its website and in store. This is the cheapest I can find for a new dock.

It was $109 on Amazon...I guess Best Buy wants to dump their stock.

The TF201 (Prime) dock works with the Infinity.

I heard that the new docking station for the TF700 has an improved tracking pad, but slightly shorter battery life. I'm guessing the lower battery life has to do with the high resolution screen. Can anyone confirm the tracking pad improvements?

Also, Best Buy is selling the TF700 keyboard docking station for 159 and not the retail 149 like everyone else?! What gives Best Buy?

The actual battery is smaller on the TF700 dock.

Is there any difference that would justify the additional 50$ in the two keyboards?

Well other than what I stated before, the battery was rated as being smaller than that of the TF201 dock. There were rumors that the trackpad was fixed on the TF700 dock, but no one can confirm that.

There's nothing wrong with it. I was just stating that there certain advantages to both the Prime and Infinity keyboard docks that we know of right now. One being the bigger battery in the Prime dock, and the other being that the Infinity dock is thinner and lighter, and supposedly has a better trackpad

The anandtech review said it was the same PN as the prime keyboard meaning it is exactly the same. Is like to see where people are hearing it's different.

That's great to know - thanks. At $99 from BB, you can't really go wrong for extended battery, keyboard, and USB slot, easier to swallow than $149 which I always thought was a little overprice.

To add my experience... I ordered the TF700T-Grey Keyboard dock @ Best Buy ($160!!), because I also heard it had a "better trackpad" and wasn't concerned about the "smaller battery"... I picked it up today (ordered the 64GB Grey Infinity the day before the dock & STILL don't have it!). The label on the back says:

Model: TF201 Mobile Docking
Customer P/N: TF700T-DOCK-GR
{blah, blah}
TF700T Mobile Dock/US/Gray

On the front and sides it's called the "ASUS Transformer Pad Mobile Dock"... may NOT be different than the PRIME dock??? So, maybe now I have a more expensive PRIME dock and no INFINITY to go with it!?!?

Wow talking about a bait and switch...I hope that is not the case

The 2 reviews at this time for the dock on Amazon.com say the same thing. That it was TF201 Mobile Docking. Though the P/N says TF700-DOCK-GR.

Interesting.

Also, Asus' own website doesn't list an Infinity dock, merely a Prime one.

How do the colors match up with the 201 dock and the infinity.

...and that sucks if you ended up paying $150 for the 201 dock.

Same exact color.

Well that sucks! I hope you return that overpriced dock. This is making me want to go to Best Buy and pick up the $100 dock now. I'll probably do it next week when I get home from vacation.
