So which one are you going to buy?
Or even at this point wait for a 2nd generation Nexus 7 which is sure to have Tegra 4 and a 7" 1920x1200 screen.
Unless he's buying it mainly for gaming, i dont see a reason to wait? What can't the current nexus 7 do that will require an upgrade anytime soon? Movies, internet, maps, bluetooth, wifi, camera, its all there. There's no reason to upgrade unless ure a hardcore gamer, but then why would a gamer buy a tablet??
So which one are you going to buy?
Ok, I'm gonna get a nexus 7, would you trust getting one off ebay if the seller had good rep?
How serious are you this time?
Why not buy directly from Google.com?
Unless it's used, demo, refurb?
Very serious but if I can save $20-30 on ebay from a good seller, I'm all for that...
save 20 bucks and have no warranty? pass.
Like nearly all Chinese no-name tablets, the battery life is awful, the screen (even advertised as "IPS") is mediocre, its pretty thick and the most ridiculous thing is the processor. The "quad-core" in it is slow (promised to be a Cortex-A9, but it looks like that was a typical Chinese Tablet lie), and the graphics processor is pretty much a hearkening back to the original Nook Color days. Its incredibly underpowered.
People have pretty much told you over and over again that the Nexus 7 is pretty much *the* entry point into the tablet market. And even then, I personally wouldn't buy a used one due to all the defective ones (I've been through 5, mostly due to screen lift). However, I would take my chances on a used Nexus 7 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before I ever considered one of these awful Chinese tablet. There is no good Chinese brand tablet. This is pretty much 100% universal. I can not think of one single tablet from a Chinese company that was any good at anything other than being a paperweight.
Me, I'd pick up a refurbed 10.1" Galaxy Tab 2 from Wallyworld for $280. A 7" tablet is, to me, a bad joke. My mother in law has the Kindle Fire and you couldn't give me the thing. I have no doubt the Nexus 7 is a better device, but it's still 7".
Much to ROSSMAN's surprise, I JUST picked up a Nexus 7 from Staples and saved the $14 shipping fee from GooglePlay...
Still in box, will mess with it after work...
OMG the end is near, he actually bought one before my prediction (what was it 6 months?).
I love being proved wrong.
Now I'm looking for a decent case...
Wish they had one that was BATMAN themed!!!!!!!
