I am so confused about the price of the "290" or "290 tablets" which have the different prices. Could you please explain me this difference?

There is no difference in the product. One is sold by Amazon and the other is sold by My Surgical Supply. Buy the cheaper one sold by Amazon.

Depends on your needs, amigo. Are you looking for the least expensive equivalent? Are you looking to use the same amount you paid originally for the next best?If you have the funds, the Radeon R9 290X is still capable of running all the latest on max settings. The ~$600 I paid for it 2 years ago was a good slurge for my rig, but you can get them for sub-$300 nowadays. I'd suggest sticking with DDR5, look for 3-4GB, and stick with a reputable make so that you don't burn out another card. If you just want to replace this 1GB DDR5, you have a multitude of inexpensive options. If you have 2 x16 PCI-E slots in your MoBo, you can crossfire or SLI for 4GB DDR5 with 2 2GB cards that support it. Depends on your needs, amigo. Are you looking for the least expensive equivalent?

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

Mark, that's awesome. Great tablet and a superb price. Too bad you couldn't pick up three of them! ;)In case $250 is not longer an option, I just spotted the Transformer for $312 (shipped) at:http://www.hhgregg.com/asus-16gb-10-1-eee-pad-transformer-google-android-3-0-based-tablet/item/TF101-A1I don't know hhgregg but that's definitely a next-best price.-Matt

If you are looking for a better quality budget tablet and are willing to pay a bit more. I also purchased the "Acer Iconia 8In A1-810-L481" ..... It is "Manufacturer Refurbished" but it looks and works "LIKE NEW" .... I would never be able to tell the difference. the prices are starting at $114- $146, make sure it is the "NEW Manufactures Refurb" and not the "USED" (Previously owned) that you purchase. Also "LePan" and "Lenovo" brands are good budget tablets. Hope this helps!!

A 270 x is basically a 270 over clocked. Basically paying more money for a card when you can just download MSI afterburner and over clock the card yourself. Which is what I did. I got a 290 instead of a 290 x and saved myself over a 100 bucks at the time. Then I just boosted the core and memory clock myself and it performs on par with the 290x.

Sorry, I don't know the 230. Sure it runs with the 02 mb mory stick. The 290 becomes very slow with hier memory capacities sticks... and I am afraid both don't function with the 32 mb one.

Make sure you clarify this with each seller, the one I ordered only came with a trial version and did not specify this! Seller claimed it was not listed in the description, so would not give me a key for it. I had to return the tablet to purchase a tablet from another sell with the full version.

i tablet blows the ep121 out of the water i think. I had the ep121 for less then a week and i sold it and bought the samsung. The samsung has a way better screen then the ep121. The ep121 seems not as sharp as the samsung. And the battery on the ep121 is not as good, only last me for like 2 classes while the samsung last me about 3-4 classes. The asus runs around 100 less on ebay used then the samsung, so for 100 dollars more you get a better tablet.

Good question and I'd be skeptical too. My review was legit (not sure how I'd prove that...), just haven't made time to review stuff in the past. The tablet is decent for the price.

This one is prettier! I have the 650 but I don't have the 640 so I can't really make a comment if whether they have the near exact specifications like you stated. I always thought the bigger the model number the better. If I have time I might stop by a Best Buy to play around with it. If you can get the 650 for $900 free shipping on amazon, it's still a good deal. But if you're fortunate enough to live in a state that has a brick and mortar Fry's Electronics, sometimes they have it on sale for $700 plus tax. Their price is different though via frys dot com. You can wait around until Thanksgiving but I don't think it's gonna drop to less than $800 on a 1-day sale. This one is prettier!

Now that's a hard one. Personally, if it's $249.99 I would go with the $250-$300, but since technically it still falls beneath $250 by a penny then you may have to go with the $200-250. If push comes to shove, try calling SquareTrade to get their opinion since you're getting it with them. If something happens to your tablet, they reimburse you the tax as well, so if it goes over $250 then you can go with the $250-300. Again, call to make sure since my tablet was within the $0-100. Didn't see the price range when I made the review until long after hitting submit.

Try contacting Amazon about it. This same thing happened when I ordered a kindle and they quickly refunded me the difference when the price dropped from 359 to 299.

Hi, I really don't know why apparently a newer model costs less than the older one. As I wrote in my review, this product turned out to be a useless device, it could be because of a defect, I'm not sure. Maybe I should have bought an "EDIMAX" model instead. Hope you have a better luck. Regards,Agron

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.
