Lenovo Thinkpad or Asus Eee Pad Transformer?

((I'm not sure this is exactly the right place for this thread.))

Right now I have some store-credit at Best Buy, and I'm looking to get a tablet. I've narrowed it down to an [url="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Eee+Pad+Transformer+Tablet+with+16GB+Memory+-+Blue/5089952.p?id=1218610024403&skuId=5089952#tabbed-specifications"]Asus eeepad[/url] and a [url="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+ThinkPad+Tablet+with+16GB+Memory+-+Black/4797447.p?id=1218529586085&skuId=4797447"]Lenovo Thinkpad[/url]. The Lenovo is a Tegra 2, vs. the Asus's Tegra 3 processor. While I know that as far as specifications go the Asus is the better tablet, I'm not too sure about the company. I've had several Lenovo's over the year and have been quite pleased with the quality of the product, their durability, ease-of-access etc.. I've never owned an Asus, how well do they hold up physically?

Somthing else I'm wondering is; "Am I going to see a difference in performance?" I mainly use the device for emulating the N64 and PSone. My current (broken) tablet could handle some N64 games, but would stutter. It could not, for example, play "Conkers Bad Fur Day" due to graphical glitches. Would I see these games work with a more powerful CPU, or is it more-likely a technical incompatibility between Android and Emulators?

TL/DR; How well are Asus Eee Pads built, and will I see more compatible N64 roms with a Tegra 3 vs. a Tegra 2

I'm mostly spitballing, so.

Have you run into any discussions of this - GPU compatibility problems with your emulator? (It's the graphics chip, of course, not the CPU, that could potentially lead to compatibility problems, but it's all on the same Tegra board.) The problems you've had previously could very well be compatibility issues, or rather just problems with the emulator, but as for new problems on the Tegra 3, I can't imagine you'd be the first one to try it. = ) If you've done some searching with your specific emulator and the chipset and haven't run into anything, I don't imagine there should be any new problems.

I'm fairly convinced of Asus's build quality - I have an Eee (not an Eee Pad) that I've used as a primary machine for the last two years, and it's survived a hell of a lot of abuse in that time. But I haven't had any experience with their tablets. (I was waiting on the MeMo, which became the Nexus 7.)

I was under the impression that the cpu and gpu were one and the same on tablets, but I'll look into cpu/gpu&emulator compatability problems. Thanks.

I'd recommend an ASUS transformer eyefinity if you can. ASUS are pretty awesome, the build quality is good, the hardware is good, and I've never had any problems.
