Features Key features of the Google Nexus 10 compared to the Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700
“10.1
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean
Rated 100% by by regularJason (Jan, 2013)Display: The Nexus 10 packs an awesome display (in fact so far as PPI Resolution is concerned, it's the best on the market *mind the date).
10.1”
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
Rated 76% by by The Verge (Oct, 2012)The camera app is fast whether you're shooting 1080p video or the 8-megapixel stills, and there's surprisingly little shutter lag.

Nexus 10 by ss--ss (Jan, 2013)If the quality of the display isn't a big factor for you...go for the Galaxy Note 10.1, you'll be happier.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by The Verge (Oct, 2012)A big, 1080p display on an Android device is great for watching movies, but it's worse for a lot of other things.
screen resolution
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)Compared with the new iPad, which runs at a 2,048x1,536-pixel resolution, it's really difficult to see a difference in text quality and sharpness between the two.

Nexus 10 by Well--the-weather-outside-it-weather (Feb, 2013)If I had to beat it up on any aspect, sure it would be nice to have a higher megapixel camera (although I would still prefer other methods of photography over holding a tablet, so it doesn't really matter to me and it's so easy to transfer high quality photos to the tablet).
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)On the top side of the bezel is a 2-megapixel front camera, upgraded from the 1.2-megapixel camera previous Transformer tablets housed.
processor
Nexus 10 by TrustedReviews (Nov, 2012)The Exynos 5250 is faster than any other dual-core tablet chip we've seen, and isn't too far off quad-core chips like Tegra 3.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)The Pad TF700 version is clocked at 1.6GHz with two to four cores active and up to 1.7GHz in single-core operations, compared with 1.3GHz and 1.4GHz on the Prime, respectively.

cpu speed
Nexus 10 by CConn (Feb, 2013)I also found that this issue of over-taxing the processor extends beyond the crashing issue as the overall smoothness and speed of my tablet rapidly deteriorated after the first few weeks of you.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)In balanced mode and power-saving mode, the CPU speed is throttled to save on battery life.

Nexus 10 by Alex-M (Feb, 2013)Using Chrome Beta has been a God send and it's obvious that they are working on the performance issues.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by c|net (Jun, 2012)The TF700's Web speeds in the default browser were a second or two slower than the iPad's when traveling to the same sites, but matched the Prime on average.
battery life
9 hour
10.25 hour
Nexus 10 by S.-Bates (Apr, 2013)battery life is good but it takes 12 hours to get 6-7 hours of battery life into it.
Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 by The Verge (Oct, 2012)The dock's battery drains first when they're connected, and it actually charges the tablet — you just drop the tablet in when it's dead, and since I left the dock plugged in most of the time I've never once had to charge the tablet itself.

Google Nexus 10 16 GB | Rated 100% by by P.-Perry (Dec, 2012)With a 1.9 MP Rear Facing Camera and a 5 MP Front Facing Camera, this tablet does quite well, and although the front facing camera doesn't match that of the Transformer TF700 it is on par with the iPad 3 and 4.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)Overall, the iPad's camera is better, but the TF700's is right behind it and, thanks to some of its features, may be the preferred camera for some.
Asus Eee Pad Transformer Infinity TF700 32GB | Rated 83% by by c|net (Jun, 2012)However, the TF700's camera has a wider lens, it's just as good as the iPad's in situations with ample light, and its LED spotlight - a feature missing from the iPad - comes in handy in low-light environments.
