With the release of the first tablet to run NVidia's Tegra 3 CPU (Transformer Prime) I am serious considering the moving from my personnal 11" netbook (I also carry a big desktop replacement laptop for work) to a tablet however there are so many of them that it is tough to chose so I would welcome some comments from current users.

I'm not a big fan of Apple's closed architecture (work already supplies me with an Iphone) so while I'm not discounting the Ipad2 just yet, it is definitely not at the front of the pack. This being said, it has a massive amount of application available and 10h battery life.... It is also pricy compared to the Android based alternatives...

A lot of the old Tegra 2 based Android tablets have now become very affordable but I am a bit worried at buying into last's year technology and their battery autonomy doesnt seem that great. I'm also wondering whether you can find as much application choice (games, productivity, travel, etc...) in the Android market than you can in Apple's.

The Transformer Prime would be the obvious choice however it is kind of pricey and it is impossible to find one in the city to try it before buying it. It has also been getting mixed review online, from great to terrible due to GPS and wifi issues which seem to plague certain but not all units. One of the clerks at a large computer store also mentionned a rumor according to which the Prime was being discountinued and being replaced by the recently announced TF700 which will be released.... in April... Not sure how much truth there is to that.

I intent to use the device for games, reading books, web and email as well as watching movies. Basically I am looking for an all around computing device with extended battery life; kinda life my current personnal laptop but more lightweight and in tablet form factor.

Which one should I be getting? Or should I keep my mini laptop a bit longer and wait yet again for another generation of tablet? Its technically doing all that I need but its short on battery life a bit (4-6 hours) a bit bulky compared to a tablet.
