Asus t101

I finally succeeded getting my new machine put together and successfully closed. You can see images and the parts below. I stuffed just about everything I could want into this case and it handled it magnificiantly and silently.
Some key elements

• CPU - 7950x3d
• GPU - Nvidia FE 4090
• Daughter board m.2 10 gbe NIC! (yes I have 10 gigabit etherenet and works perfectly!)
• Additional Storage SATA 4TB

The M.2 10gbe is a really interesting device. It comes with a very very fat red radiating fin but I was able to fit in the top m.2 slot on the mobo by removing the cover. The PCIE m.2 SSD is tucked underneath in the lower slot. The actual RJ45 port is a bit inelgantly attached. I moved the PSU power cable extender to the bottom option so I could use the middle one for the port. It is only held in place by one screw. I need to make a 3d printed adaptor to make it fit more securely.
The primary problem that I had is a started with an ARCTIC 280 AIO. I had wonderful CPU temps with this massive radiator but the tubing was too stiff and radiator thick. When I tried to close the case the tubing kinked and temperatures shot way up.
The Kraken tubing is much more flexible and the outlets are on the side instead of the top of the CPU block so they dont force the tubing into the fan blades. I did put fan guards on the fans so that random cables wouldnt get caught in the whirling blades.
Another issue is the mobo SATA headers come straight out of the mobo right where the PSU is. I got a special LEFT ANGLE (as opposed to right angle which would have the cable point backwards) cable to make it work.
FAN CONFIGURATION
The top of the case have two intake 15mm noctua 120mm fans
I preserved the GPU channel because it seems to work well, support the gpu, and keep cables out of the GPU fan.
I put a 92mm noctua fan on the back (external) to bring in cool air to the CPU chamber. i was concerned about the 10gbe nic getting too hot.
The Kraken is set to exhaust the radiator out.
TEMPS and PERF
I ran prim95 to just check CPU temps and stability. In an ambient 21C room the CPU started at 28C and evenutally got up to a peak of 78C. It dropped within a minute back to low 30s C when prime95 was stopped.
GPU and CPU performance were about average according to 3dmark time spy though the CPU may be throttling because it was a bit lower than the average by 500pts (15500). The AIO fan speed doesnt seem to change. I may swap the fans with noctuas industrial and have them run directly of mobo isntead of via AIO output wire harness for finer control and more cooling.
Currently the case is basically inaudible.
The 10gbe m.2 card is amazing. I was able to connect to my NAS and run iperf3 between them averaging around 9.8gbe. Pretty amazing especially since the NAS is literally on the other side of the house and down a floor in the basement. With this NIC and the added 4TB storage SATA ssd I feel like I didnt have to settle at all as I moved from mATX to ITX.

Hi folks who read this,
I've got fedora running on my Asus T101 and it's mostly okay. I'm doing this as a side project to learn more about Linux and was hoping to get better functionality out of the tablet/notebook than Windows 10. It isn't my daily driver, but was hoping to use it for ebooks and content consumption. However, I can barely stream a YouTube video since switching to Fedora. It was fine on W10, but it's terrible right now. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using the latest Fedora workstation and have tried Firefox and Chromium as browsers.
Any suggestions would be helpful, I can't seem to find much on the internet that speaks to this specific issue with this hardware either. Thanks

Hi,
New to Fedora and Linux, and am working on an Asus T101 (detachable tablet/laptop). In Firefox, when using the touch panel, if I want to "right click" by touching and holding for a second, the menu that appears doesn't go away unless I select one option. So sometimes, if I make a mistake press, or decide I don't need to use the menu, I'm stuck with that menu on screen, even if I change pages or tabs. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

I have this Asus Transformer T101. Ive had it since new but never really found much use for it beyond watching a few movies. Anyone have this thing and have any advice on what I could do with it. Seems like its not supported at all any more? Youtube and a number of other apps are not working.

The Transformer Book T100HA is definitely the most up-to-date two-in-one convertible from Taiwanese organization Asus.This Windows 10-powered device aims to supply consumers a fully functional tablet that could be converted right into a laptop computer by simply docking into the bundled keyboard.Whilst it is really knowledgeable as being a laptop computer and tablet,The Transformer Book T100HA feels like a barebones device lacking a killer aspect to differentiate itself from the expanding sea of Home windows ten convertibles flooding the economical laptop computer market.The Asus Transformer Ebook T100HA is a well-rounded detachable-hybrid Home windows tablet which offers a nice screen,a 64-bit running method,good battery everyday living,plus a wide range of functions and port options,all for your modest value.The Acer Aspire Change ten E offers a lot of the very same features and a somewhat longer-lasting battery,but lacks a USB-C port and only contains a 32-bit OS.That,put together with its powerful efficiency and flexibility,earns the Transformer Book T100HA our Editors' Preference Dell XPS M1530 Charger for entry-level detachable-hybrid tablets.ASUS has declared the Transformer E book T101,the most recent addition to its loved ones of 2-in-1 notebooks.The ten.1-inch equipment capabilities a light-weight,compact and exceedingly transportable structure,the greater to cater to people that really don't need the entire computing power of units much like the Microsoft Surface Professional 4.The Transformer Reserve T101 weighs only 580g as a tablet,and even though this figure goes as many as 1.08kg while using the keyboard connected,its bodyweight really should be scarcely perceptible with your backpack or tote bag.
Design
The Asus Transformer E book T100HA appears like the rice pudding of convertibles.It's got a fairly dull design - even by affordable Home windows 10 convertible standards.The separate tablet and keyboard sections are each made from a dim gray anodised aluminium plus the Transformer Ebook has the typical,a bit pebble-like texture found on almost all of Asus' reasonably priced convertibles.Measuring in at 265 x one hundred seventy five x eight.45mm and weighing 0.58kg,the tablet portion Lenovo 4-1130 80U3 Charger is with regard to the very same dimension as most in the same way priced Home windows 10 slates.For instance,HP's competing Pavilion X2 has a tablet part that measures in at a a little fatter 9.65mm and weighs 0.59kg.The Asus' bundled keyboard adds 10mm for the device's thickness as well as a even further 0.46kg to its bodyweight - however in spite of this padding The Transformer Book T100HA is still far from backbreaking.The Transformer Ebook T100HA's tablet portion feels moderately strong,however its polycarbonate again did provide a minor when met with even average force,which remaining me nervous about its toughness if dropped.The same was real on the keyboard part,which noticeably flexed when satisfied with large typing.Producing up for this,I found the keyboard reasonably relaxed to sort on,in spite of currently being netbook sized.The keys are undeniably smaller and a bit crunched alongside one another,but have a very snappy reactive come to feel and that i hardly ever struggled to variety around the Transformer E book.The trackpad Samsung 23 DP700A3B Charger is additionally properly reactive and recognised one- and two-fingered gestures headache totally free - a factor that produced doc modifying noticeably far more enjoyable than it's on most equally sized convertibles,similar to the Pavilion X2.Asus has also managed to load the Transformer Ebook T100HA using a realistic choice of ports.The tablet portion functions Dell Inspiron 17 3737 Charger a microphone/headphone jack,microSD slot,microHDMI socket plus a USB Type-C charging port.Backing this up,the keyboard provides a full-sized USB two.0 port.I am significantly content to discover the addition of USB Type-C.USB-C is often a vogue merchandise a lot of smartphone and pill brands are adding to their products that's created to radically velocity up devices' demand occasions.It could also be utilized like a typical port to attach external equipment into the laptop.In these situations it provides enhanced information transfer speeds compared to standard USB 2.0 and three.0 ports.
The microSD slot allows you increase even more house into the device's 32GB,64GB or 128GB of eMMC storage.Meaning there are also specific trade-offs.For instance,the ten.1-inch touchscreen display screen includes a modest 1,280 x 800-pixel resolution instead of a 1080p 1.Still ASUS is saying around 178-degree viewing angles and just one from the brightest shows Dell inspiron 20 3048 Charger of its dimension all over at 400cd/m2.The hardware powering it truly is equally modest.This means a quad-core Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor,2GB of RAM,and up to 32GB eMMC storage.There's also a microSD card reader on board that supports as many as 512GB of extra storage.Connectivity options are likewise limited,with just a USB two.0 Type-A port,a micro HDMI display screen port,plus a microUSB port for charging.That said,it can be nonetheless a reasonably functional assortment for the gadget this dimension.The reasonably low-powered hardware has also permitted ASUS to assert up to eleven several hours of battery lifetime Dell WU841 Battery over the equipment.What is actually more,the low heat output of your Atom chip permits a fanless style,so that you won't be distracted by any whirring lover noises.The Asus Transformer E book T101HA - the same as the T102HA - does appear along with the keyboard base incorporated.But relatively than the usual Style Cover-like keyboard,the T101HA attributes a far more reliable and durable keyboard foundation which might be appreciated by some.Regarding typing working experience you definitely shouldn't count on miracles,however right after some practise time you are able to basically type very comfortably to the keyboard at a respectable pace.A person could obviously criticize the rough however slippery keys which do truly feel pretty low cost but presented the cost of the system that may be criticism on a incredibly substantial amount.With regards to the touchpad,I really have to give Asus lots of credit score for which include a Precision Touchpad on this equipment thanks to which you'll be able to benefit from each of the multi-finger gestures supported by Windows ten.Even though getting a Precision Touchpad isn't going to essentially imply aquiring a excellent touchpad,it yet can be a guarantor for not aquiring a poor touchpad.And that is precisely the situation in this article as well.You can find certainly much better products Apple A1229 Charger around concerning touchpad,but with the price the T101HA contains a shockingly very good touchpad to provide.In all probability one from the most apparent distinctions amongst the T102HA and also the T101HA is definitely the latter's insufficient support with the Asus Pen - an active stylus which resembles the Area Pen incredibly considerably each with regards to style and design as well as in terms of operation.For anyone who is not likely into taking notes in OneNote using a pen,that's not this sort of a massive challenge.However, if you plan on buying a gadget specifically for crafting and drawing,you might want to have a look with the Transformer Mini reviewed below and here.
Performance
Powered by an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 and geared up with only 2 GB of RAM,the Asus Transformer E-book T101HA unquestionably positions itself at the extremely low-end of your Home windows ten 2-in-1 array.Though the Atom processor is sweet plenty of for every day tasks such as website browsing,producing e-mails,enhancing word paperwork Asus GL702VS-BI7N12 Charger and watching YouTube video clips,you evidently really need to client as things just take a bit lengthier - and in many cases much more so because of to really constrained sum of usable RAM.I have praised Asus for which include four GB of RAM over the Transformer Mini as this just offers you a little a lot more respiratory leeway and our review unit of the Transformer Ebook pretty much proves that all over again.Not which the general performance is terrible,but you surely won't be acquiring twenty tabs open up concurrently with this particular system.But provided that additionally, there are versions of the T101HA with four GB of RAM,I remarkably recommend you go along with the more higher-specced design.A good aspect of the Atom processor is needless to say the indisputable fact that it works devoid of lively cooling this means you may in no way be bothered by admirer noise.The T101HA will come pre-installed with Windows ten Dwelling which operates just fantastic to the device.Regrettably,you are going to also obtain plenty of programs Toshiba L40-A Battery pre-installed this kind of as McAfee LiveSafe.Not like the T102HA,the Transformer E-book would not have help for Windows Howdy.Positioned within the again in the system,the speakers in the Transformer Ebook T101HA provide astonishingly superior seem high quality.Given the price of the machine,you naturally however should not hope way too considerably.Nevertheless,the T101HA could just be described as a great tiny system for media intake.Within the entrance,the Transformer Reserve T100HA characteristics a two megapixel camera asus c21pqc1 battery which presents respectable but not excellent high-quality.Unfortunately,there is no camera on the back for snapshots.Concerning screen,Asus has opted to get a ten.1" LED backlit monitor by using a rather dated resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels which leads to a pixel density of about 149 ppi.Whilst becoming far from a super-sharp monitor,the standard in terms of brightness and colour output is appropriate for that selling price assortment - a minimum of when looking at it directly.Once you examine the display inside a a lot more "distorted" angle,you will detect shades loosing their vibrancy quite promptly and turning into more opaque tints.To the OS front,the excellent news is the fact that the device includes Windows ten pre-installed,which saves you possessing to try and do the inevitable upgrade from Home windows eight.1 - which would possibly be difficult in any case,specified the teensy-weensy eMMC drive that this comes with.And Home windows ten is fairly sharpish on this,though we'd opt for a espresso break hp 15-g011nr charger all through any intense duties.We did have problems through the first Home windows ten setup,wherever the monitor was incorrectly rotated all over - but it really appeared to have ironed by itself out from the time the procedure was entirely up and managing.
The other apps are basic bloatware,but not less than they're divided out into their own personal tiny part of the pill.I have no clue exactly what the Asus Giftbox app Asus X550JX Battery is undertaking on there.You will find also an Asus WebStorage application that pops up consistently to provide you 1TB of storage for a year - plus the Asus LiveUpdate application appears for updates on your other apps.The display screen incorporates a optimum resolution of 1280 x 800,which is just not wonderful,however it manages to supply a transparent IPS-like picture Samsung U28D590D Charger that's straightforward on the eyes and appears superior from a large number of angles because of the utilization of equally the Asus Splendid and Large Perspective Systems.Irrespective of becoming quad-core,the CPU is really damn gradual,as we are going to see in the benchmarks over the up coming webpage.Which is also a pretty awful,gradual eMMC generate - not simply slower than an SSD,with all its bells and whistles,it can be also slower than an SD card.That's a fairly awful main travel for a laptop,though it does have pretty remarkable small electricity intake way too - feeding into Asus' claimed twelve hrs of video clip playback.Thankfully,you are able to broaden the storage utilizing the SD card slot.No less than there may be a pleasant variety of ports - the usual suspects,in addition a USB Type-C port that supports fast USB three.1 info and up to 100W of ability,indicating the unit plugged into your T100HA should really demand speedily.So,yeah.You are not gonna be operating just about anything intense on this,conserve possibly for extremely low-poly mobile games.A few of its scores HP 13t-d000 Battery have been so lower 3DMark could not discover any lessen reference products.3D graphics isn't the only thing that it struggles with - prior to we even obtained to try and do the Cinebench benchmarks,it took an age for your Transformer simply to unzip the Cinebench obtain file.Hilariously,we couldn't run the Shadow of Mordor benchmark because it absolutely was,by by itself,the dimensions in the entire eMMC generate.That battery life is far lessen as opposed to claimed 12 several hours of video - but processor or 3D intensive responsibilities looked as if it would take in into your battery considerably quicker.Supplied the lengthy charging times,that's not anything you want to come about,lest this gadget be completely sure to your plug-socket.Inspite of all that,it truly is an improvement to the 2013 design.It does have satisfactory benchmark scores to the house and business office operations,and ran video clip and Skype smoothly,along with other apps and open up tabs.And it can even now run other Windows software program,which the equal Chromebook won't be capable to complete.
Conclusion
The best thing with regards to the Transformer is its value.There is a functional,straightforward and passable laptop/tablet.It does a range of home duties nicely,and might take care of reasonable multitasking as well as another laptop computer.And,when you can only do primary responsibilities on it,you don't have to worry about the processor-intensive things that eats up battery.The Asus Transformer E book T100HA is surely an excellent price,featuring rapidly efficiency and also a wide variety of feature and port selections,like USB-C.It outperforms the Acer Aspire Switch 10 E,yet another major decide on,with its exceptional 4GB of memory,a lot quicker processor,64-bit running technique,and similarly sharp screen,its functions and general performance enable it to be worthy of remaining named our Editors' Preference Sony XBR55X850D Charger for entry-level detachable-hybrid tablets.Even with our forced positivity previously mentioned,we can't claim that we savored our time using the T100HA.It's not an immediately friendly laptop,no less than on this grey incarnation,plus the inadequate keyboard means it's typically valuable being a tablet - instead of a wonderfully very good worth one at that.That said,for that correct function this is certainly an excellent acquire - in case you desire a laptop/tablet which will cope with almost any workplace activity and won't will need recharging for any excellent very long time.Just remember that any time you do set it charging,chances are you'll need to contemplate heading into hibernation on your own.About the whole,it's possible you'll would like to take into account the Transformer Chi as being a a lot much more modern-day edition on the same equipment,for not that much more revenue.

Hello! I’m currently working on my first PC Build and clearing out some stuff in effort to get the parts I’m still looking for!
The scanner was used less than ten times for family pictures, have the box and everything that came with it including receipts and a two year warranty that’s good until 6/12/2020
The Seagate BUP was used very sparingly, have the box around here somewhere. Getting rid of it because my Asus T101’s USB port doesn’t have enough juice to use it :(
I actually have two of the older model 3DS systems. One purple and one black. Used them to play Pokemon with my girlfriend, but she hardly ever used hers lol. Will post a picture of it in a few when I pick it up from her place!
Local to Columbus (43223), willing to drive somewhere if it’s about an hour away

Just want to share , problem on Asus Transformer t101 no sound when upgrade to windows 10 x64.
Follow these steps, they worked on my friend's laptop.

1. delete your driver From your device Manager (Intel SST Sound device) From:

- "Audio inputs and outputs" Category

1. Download "Intel Platform Device Driver" From Lenovo support site:

https://support.lenovo.com/my/en/downloads/DS041591

1. After Completion of the first installation, uncheck the box and Click Finish.
   
2. In device manager scan for changes and update your unknown device from location of your intel installation.
   

Hope it benefit some of you.

My netbook ASUS T101 has got the power of early 2000's desktop. So I run games like Heroes of Might & Magic III and Starcraft. Do anyone know of any games they can recommend. Maybe like a tower defense game?

Hello people,
Firstly, sorry mods for not following the posting form. I think I narrowed my choices down. The laptops I mentioned below are all available at around $400 in my country's currency.
So, I really need a small and light laptop for university work. I'm in electrical engineering and I need to be able to run simulation software like Multisim, PSpice as well as Matlab. The thing is these software are not so resource intensive I already have a gaming PC with good specs that can breeze through anything I throw at it, at home. I don't need anything too powerful, just something that gives me decent performance anywhere.
Portability is a priority for me. I'm thinking of buying a small laptop like the Lenovo N22 with a Celeron N3050, 4GB RAM and 64GB SSD. But for around the same price, I can get convertibles like the Asus T101 and Lenovo MIIX with Atom Z8350 CPUs and non-upgradeable storage and RAM.
What do you think will be best for my use case? A cheap, decent laptop or a convertible 2-in-1 tablet?

For the past few years I've done most of my comic reading on an old Asus T101 (an absolutely horrible product, but it got the job done). I just booted it up to read before heading to bet, and the screen is clearly broken.
So, for you tablet readers out there, any suggestions on a replacement? I prefer android but if you really like your ipad for comics you can let me know.

Since trying to play this morning I have lost 7 keys and about 12 bread trying to play on my ASUS Transformer T101. Admittedly, the tablet is almost 4 years old, but I've played Puzzle and Dragons and Brave Frontier on it fine at least 98% of the time. Is there something wrong with CQ?

Being a tech with a tendency to ramble, feel free to skip to the bottom for a bulleted TL;DR of the important bits. The rest of this is just for detail, because when I get users asking for help, I like having as much detail as possible.
Background:
So, I had an LG G2, which I loved, but the battery started crapping out on me (which I hear isn't all that uncommon), and then the KnockON went away, and a dead zone appeared in the touchscreen. I use my phone extensively for work, since I visit client offices regularly, so after a factory reset that didn't help, I head over to the Verizon store to see if they can do anything for me. Best options were $150 deductible for insurance to get a new G2, or (after I suggested it) switching to the Verizon Edge program. Great, I think, I can get a new G3 and be on my way!... Nope. They will only do that if I get a Turbo, can't even swap for a new G2. Well... OK. I generally prefer a cleaner Android anyway (used to have the Razr), so we'll take it and see what we can do. This is very uncharacteristic for me, as I usually research for a while before jumping on a new device, so I get the one I know will work best for me. But hey, gotta have a phone that works, and I don't want to shell out $150 for a year old phone.
Issues:
So, on the G2, Exchange worked very well right out of the box. Tasks, Email, Calendar, and Contacts all synced perfectly, using stock apps (probably LG versions). I'm trying to set up the Turbo, but the first thing I noticed is no Tasks app. So, I'm hunting now for a tasks app that syncs with Exchange (but also will use non-Exchange tasks, I don't want my personal tasks showing up on the Exchange server).
I'm also setting up my widgets, and playing with the email app... first thing there I notice I have a problem with is I'm not seeing a "select all" option... am I just missing it? Anyway, I start looking for email apps. Maybe I'll find something good.
Check out CloudMagic first... not a fan. Biggest issue is IMAP only, I prefer POP3. (The design was nice though...) Check out myMail next, not so bad, but no widgets. I use widgets pretty extensively, and it's one of my favorite parts of Android. Start googling around, find out Gmail 5.0 handles Exchange now. Great! Go with Google and call it good, right? Nope. Check to make sure I have Gmail 5.0 (I do), try to add my Yahoo account, which seems to work okay, but there's no option for Exchange ActiveSync when I try to add a new account (only "personal POP3/IMAP" and "gmail" options available).
A little more googling reveals that's likely because I don't yet have Lollipop. Okay, that's fine and dandy for whenever Big Red deigns to give me the new version of Android, but until then, I have work to do. And while it might have worked for developers (who may or may not be working on Nexus devices anyway), I'm a little wary of sideloading APK's from random places that might be out of date Betas for a piece of software that's supposed to be live right now anyway. So no Gmail Exchange. (Although, if and when that comes through, it looks like a solid solution.) Also, it appears the widget (and the app itself) doesn't do a unified mailbox view, which isn't the end of the world, but would be nice.
Luckily, my calendar and contacts seems to have synced up seamlessly. Still trying to decide if I want to use the Google Calendar or Android Calendar app, or try hunting for a third party. (Again, needs to deal with Exchange, but having non-exchange entries so I'm not putting personal stuff on the work account is important, much like with Tasks.)
And finally, unrelated to Exchange, I miss some of the launcher customization the G2 offered. Now, with the Razr I used Nova Launcher (premium version), and I've been playing with it on the Turbo as well... but I'd be interested in any commentary on the launcher scene as I was happy enough with the LG launcher and haven't been paying attention to launchers very much. Plus, I found Nova was killing my performance on my Razr and Asus Transformer tablet (T101, so, old) when I was using it like... 2 years ago or something. Is it a resource hog? Are there better launchers out there at this point? Most important features I'm looking for are just the basics: altering number of columns/rows, infinite scroll of home screens, adding/moving home screens, etc. Stuff not in the moto launcher or the Google Now launcher (although there are aspects of both of those I do like).
TL;DR
Got forced into a Droid Turbo (I'm not terribly unhappy with that) from a G2 and am trying to set it up so I can get back to work. So, I'm looking for suggestions or thoughts on the following things...

• I need a Tasks app that works with Exchange but also allows non-exchange tasks (local to the phone is fine, even great)
• Am I just being dumb and missing the "check all" option in the stock email app? Or does that really not exist?
• I need a good Exchange email app, uses ActiveSync, has widgets, unifies some or all of my accounts (don't want more than maybe two email apps, I use 4+ email addresses regularly), preferably has a unified inbox view, and doesn't rely on IMAP only.
• Possible suggestions on Calendar apps (similar to tasks, has to work with Exchange and non-Exchange)?
• Possible suggestions on launchers? Currently on Nova Launcher.

Hello all,
I'm looking to buy a laptop/laptops for my parents for Christmas, and made the mistake of taking them into Best Buy and letting them play around on laptops. Both of my parents fell in love with the Lenovo Yoga 2, but unfortunately, it isn't realistic for me to drop 2k on Christmas.
My mom currently has a craptastic laptop and to be honest, I'm sick of hearing her complain about it so I want to get her a laptop that goes above and beyond her needs. She tested out a number of laptops and commented numerous times that the laptops with an i5 processor felt faster than those with an i3, so I would have to say that i5 is a must. Her current laptop has only 2gb of ram and runs pathetically slow, so I want to beef up her ram just so this machine lasts her a number of years. My mom uses her computer mostly for online shopping (Ebay, neiman's, nordstroms etc.), facebook and youtube. Her main focus seems to be on the speed of the computer and the screen display.
My dad, on the other hand, doesn't have a laptop at all, but instead uses an Asus Transformer T101 as his laptop. While it is a great table that has served him well, he really needs a full laptop (and laptop keyboard). His main focus for a laptop is backlit keys, function keys and a matte black finish. His computer habits consist mostly of yahoo articles, email and excel.
As I mentioned, as soon as they saw the lenovo laptop, they both fell in love with it. If I had the money, I'd drop 2 grand buy them both one but as much as it pains me to say, I just don't have the money for it right now. If y'all have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Thank you so much in advance and I hope I did this properly.

I have an Asus Transformer TF101 and 2x2GB of this RAM.
TF101: Used this for quite a while, and has seen a ton of usage. Just bought another tablet and I'm looking to sell this one. It has quite a few minor cosmetic issues which I've tried to be as honest about here. The main ones are a ~5mm dent in one of the corners of the keyboard and dust underneath the screen (but no cracks). I've never opened the tablet. Comes with the tablet, keyboard dock, charger, and USB 3.0 cable (not the original that came with it, 3ft cable). Will update to the latest version of KitKat available on xda-developers.com. Don't have original box, but I'm looking for it so I may be able to find it if you need it. Looking for $125 shipped OBO.
RAM: Bought this RAM from a local thrift store because it was an extremely good deal for RAM that was labeled 2x4GB. found out it was only 4GB and now I'm trying to recoup my money. It runs fine in my machine right now. Looking for $25 shipped OBO.
I am willing to take more pictures if requested of either of these items. Pictures
Also, willing to trade this plus cash for a Nexus 5 32GB.

Hi Guys, been testing the OUYA and threw together a quick benchmark
It simply loads in a new AI mob every 200ms and sicks them on the player, so it is a good scaling test as we add on screen mobs. I did this same test earlier with offscreen mobs with 1400 just of screen and it had very little effect on framerate.
I've uploaded the end results to the devices I currently have access to here
It's pretty dry but it is a good base point for optimizing from here on in. I'll be implementing texture compression next and then spending a lot of time with the profiler :)
PLEASE NOTE There is currently a frame delay bug (my Canvas and OpenGL threads interrupt each other) that is occurring on the OUYA and the Asus transformer T101 (EDIT: Only on these two as well so far) so best not to jump to any conclusions at this stage ;)

I want to check out apples ecosystem, I would be willing to throw in some money if th trade necessitates it.

Recently broke my T101 and ordered myself a T300 since it just became available at my local big box store. Anybody else ordered this bad boy? Got any news on development or root capability? I'm sure Asus wouldn't make the process hell.
