Recent reviews of Google's Nexus 7 tablet might have people thinking, what's all the rave about. As the first tablet of Google's Nexus brand, the device is said to set the bar high for tablets both big and small.
The Nexus 7 gives the Apple iPad good competition and is leading in the 7-inch device class. It offers powerful hardware and a useful design to bolster customer experience. With its small dimensions, the Nexus 7 is a very convenient size and provides the same features as bigger tablets, bringing the web, email, games, and social media feeds to users' fingertips. The device also brings to life a 1280x 800 IPS touchscreen, comparable to the third generation iPad.
What might prove to be the most attractive feature of the device is the tablet's price. The Nexus 7 costs $200 with 8GB of storage. The Nexus 7 equally priced with the Amazon Kindle Fire and Barnes & Noble's Nook Tablet with the same amount of storage space. For an extra $50, customers can buy more space for storing additional HD movies, games, apps, and music.
Although the Nexus 7's price is the same as its competitors, its software performance makes the device seem like a steal in comparison. The Fire and Nook are known for facing slow animations and flickering screens, while the Nexus is clear of any software performance issues.
As the first quad-core 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7 is able to smoothly load magazines, books, videos, music, websites, and apps with no problem.
Additionally the Nexus 7 gives users the option to get their content from various sources and doesn't force them to purchase features solely from Google. For example, users can download Amazon apps if they would prefer getting their content from there instead.
The Nexus 7 is claimed to provide one of the most superior table experiences following close behind Apple's iPad. One thing the Nexus 7 does have over the iPad is that it is much less burdensome to carry around.
