ASUS MeMO Pad Smart ME301T-A1-BL 10.1-Inch 16 GB Tablet

Staples has this tablet on for $169.99 now thru Saturday. Seems to be a pretty good deal. Anyone have this tablet and can give a review? I am thinking of getting it. Online reviews blast the quality of the screen but sometimes they are only liking the latest tech.

Disregard this deal. Staples just today changed the ad to read "Refurbished". I have been watching this all week and was going to buy till they added that to the description. Should have printed it off and taken to a store but never anticipated this.

Gamestop has the same one, new, I believe, for 150.

Thanks for the heads-up. Unfortunately it is not available online or in any store within 100 miles of my location.

Would have jumped on it if available at that price.

Couldn't a store order one from another store?

Nope. Store manager went on his computer and said it was not available at any store. I have run into this problem about 10 times recently. The item is advertised online but not available online or at the store. Fry's, Best Buy, Office Depot, Sam's Club, Office Max, Staples and now Game Stop have all had this problem. They all need a better online manager! It has been a problem at Fry's for some time but just recently noticed at the other stores. They must sell out immediately and not update their online info. Some are advertised online but say it is a store only item. Go to the store and they know nothing about it till I show them on my phone or their own computer and they say they never had one in stock.

Wonder if these great ads are just a come-on?

When I worked at Office Depot and Target, sometimes those deals would be clearance stock- we wouldn't have had any for months, and you'd have to basically find 1mm tall fine print that said "Where available" or "Not stocked everywhere". Bullcrap.

But why don't they update their websites? A lot of these errors I checked on are over a month old and still on the website. Funny how the store employees don't know anything about this, even on the ones that say store pickup only.

That is something I have no answer for it all
