My immediate reaction was to disagree with this statement. However, after thinking for a moment, I would probably ask the OP how he plans on using his tablet. Your recommendation may very well be a good option.

Absolutely right. Saying windows 8 will blow other OSs out of the water begs the question of what we expect from the OS. Does anyone want all the functionality of a windows OS on a 7 inch tablet? Do we want to work on spreadsheets and edit graphics and compile C# code and all the other things we do on a PC or laptop? If not then the decision comes down to which device/OS combo will best perform the tasks we are most likely to want accomplished. In the case of a 7" tablet that might mean doing web, email, instant message, facebook, music playback on a small lightweight device that gets a dozen hours of battery life and can be tossed on the couch or stuck into the pocket of a bathrobe. And if the nexus 7 (or some other tablet) does those things as well as a windows 8 device then it becomes a matter of price.

Good point. I'll be just using it strictly for entertainment: web, music, some games, etc. I won't be conducting any business on it. Just want a super portable format for me to screw around on.

Appreciate the opinions!

In that case, the device is AWESOME!!! You can actually fit it in your pocket... if you have a big pocket.

Android 4.X is super smooth on the device.

I may be buying one at some point, myself. Of course, all of this is my humble opinion.

You might consider the 32gb 3g version. For $50 extra it is worth it for me.


PS I am a former owner of a rooted Nook color and am currently using an HTC Flyer. Looking forward to getting a Nexus 7.
