Where You Can Get It On Black Friday: Best Buy
Hmmm...Which tablet should you buy on Black Friday? We'll let you decide. But if you need a recommendation, how about the Asus? It runs Android, is on sale for $150 below the retail value, has a much larger screen than the new Amazon Fire, and it can also be outfitted with a $99 keyboard that essentially turns it into a laptop. Sounds like a steal.
