I purchased this tablet with the intentions to watch movies during my commute to and from work, now I find myself gaming on the tablet more than anything else.

The 7" form factor, combined with the light weight of the tablet, makes it very comfortable to hold for long preiods of time.

Screen:
Video and pictures, look fantastic on the 1280x800 screen. Text is rendered very crisply, and is easy to read, w/o having to zoom in. Viewing angles are wide and splendid.

Performance:
The quad core(+1) cpu, 12 core gpu, combined with android 4.1(jelly bean), offer a truly pleasant user experience, rivaling even the transformer infinity. Flicking through home screens, and widgets is seemless. Apps open very briskly, and web pgs load in a snap, thanks in part to the default chrome browser. Gaming on this tablet, has been pure bliss for me, I play gta 3, modern cambat 3, shadowgun, dead trigger, and many more titles, with nary a hiccup. Although during extended gaming, The back gets a little warm, but not hot.

Battery:
After cycling the battery for the past wk, I get about 8&1/2 hrs of med to heavy use(gaming, web browsing, and video playback). Casual users will get closer to the advertised 10hrs. The tablet chargers from 3% to 100% in about 3hrs(very good).

Design/Build quality:
Attractive design, Light weight, and thanks to the rubberized texture on the back, this tablet is a pleasure to hold. The volume rocker, and power button, is easy to locate, and offer nice tactile feedback.

minor(Cons):
No sd card, although 16gbs is enough for me personally(most of my content is in the cloud), I think the omission is a little apple-esq on google's part. Some users report of build quality issues, including loose display panels, in fact my unit has a weak spot along the left side, but its not a deal breaker for me. The speaker on this tab is anemic, my cell phone has louder output, but with a good pair of headphones you're golden.

All in all I am very satisfied with my purchase. I plan to buy another one for my fiancee(she loves this thing), once google re-stocks the 16gb version. Props to google, for the $25 play store credit, and 4.1(jellybean). The gn7 will satisfy current android users, as well as people looking to get their feet wet, in mountain view's eco-system. Cheers.

Over all the Nexus 7 I have had been a great tablet. Purchased it in Spet of 2012 and used it up until a week ago... battery started drainig really fast and now it wont even charge. Now onto customer support. I did not buy the extended warranty because I never do for these things as the devalue so quickly plus it had a 12 month warranty from Asus. Never ever buy a product from ASUS (Google Nexus 7 and other devices) unless you want to receive horrible customer service! I was a big fan and haven't many troubles out of their products but boy if you do you can pretty well just flush your hard earned money down the toilet. I have ben trying for a week to return the devioce for service and they keep throwing up excuses. To the folks at Staples I would tell you to drop them as they provide very little if any help. As a result of their poor customer service a pretty good prodcut gets a 1 Star rating from me.

    My unit failed within 6 months, would not take a charge and would not boot up. Called Google, then Asus, then Staples. I was told to take it to the store. Not much help there. I requested a
    RMA from Asus. Still pending. If you buy one, get it from Google, as they said it could be returned to them if bought from them. I expected more help from Staples.

        Comments about Nexus 7 16GB Tablet from Google:

        This is a decent tablet that mostly lives up to its billing, but with one very significant flaw. The headset volume is not loud enough to watch movies on an airplane. I tried it with various headphones, but it is just too quiet. A lot of users have reported the same problem on various online message boards. This may not be a big issue for many users, but it is a major bummer for me, because I bought this tablet specifically for the purpose of watching movies while traveling.

            I wanted a tablet but was not really sure which one to get. I have an Android phone and this tablet works the same way. I have downloaded apps, wallpaper, sounds for my alarm clock on the tablet. It is very fast on my home wireless network. It is a good size and easy to hold. I bought a case for it to protect the screen. I also purchased a 1 year replacement plan just in case. I really like the features of this tablet and it is much more reasonably priced than the IPAD. I did a lot of research on the Nexus 7 and most of the review sites really like it. You can't go wrong with it especially for the price. You'll love it!

You contact check the Google play apps to search for more types or parental controls. However there is not one built in on the tablet. If you would like to place an order, please call us at 800-333-3330. You also have the option to order online.

              2 answers

              • A:

                There are many options to help you manage your Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files on this tablet. The following are some of the most popular choices. The full version of Documents To Go app by InTact Technology will allow you to view and edit Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files. Alternatively the CloudOn app allows you to view and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint when connected to the internet. If you are only using your tablet to view files, you can use your the tablet's browser in conjunction with one of Microsoft's file sharing services.

                At this time, there is no easy way to connect this tablet to any projector reliably. You would have to rig some interface through the Nexus's microUSB port, Bluetooth, or wireless to the projector. There are currently no apps for the Nexus that can claim to do this. You can, however, use an app like Slide Presentation Control to turn your Nexus 7 as a clicker to control the presentation after it is loaded from another source.
