I'm looking at buying a new tablet. It will mostly be for watching video, Youtube and movies downloaded from the net, but as with most general purpose computers it will get used for lots of other things. The main options I'm considering now are the Google Nexus tablets. The Nexus line seem to have good quality hardware, good specs, and reasonable prices. They also should be easier to root if I want to run Ubuntu or something on them later. For tablets with 16G of RAM the Nexus 7 is $299 and the Nexus 10 is $469. Currently the 32G Nexus 10 is out of stock so I'm mostly comparing the 16G Nexus 7 with the Nexus 10, if I choose the Nexus 7 then I'll think about whether it's worth paying for extra storage (probably will be given that there's no SD card support). Does anyone have any experience with them? What about comparing 10" and 7" tablets generally? Obviously 10" is better for watching movies and a lot better if more than one person is watching. 10" should also be better for blogging. Is the 10" tablet worth the extra $170 and losing the option of more storage (or alternatively waiting for Google to get stock)? https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_7_16gb_2013 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7_(2013_version) https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_10_16GB?id=nexus_10_16gb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_10 Above are the Play Store and Wikipedia pages for the tablets in question. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
