The Nexus 7 by ASUS is a full-fledged Android™ tablet that delivers the best Google™ experience. It's the confluence of the latest software and state-of-the-art hardware and represents the literal nexus of digital life.
Nexus 7 by ASUS is Google's latest Nexus experience device and the first tablet to feature Android™ 4.1 Jelly bean – the latest version of the world's most popular mobile platform. It combines the best of both Google and ASUS with the most advanced software from Google paired with cutting edge ASUS hardware.
Nexus 7 by ASUS is powered by NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor, everything is faster – pages load quickly, gameplay is smooth and responsive, and running multiple apps is a breeze. A vibrant 1280 x 800 high-definition display brings apps, games, books and movies to life. New ASUS TruVivid technology improves color clarity and brightness, while the IPS panel delivers crisp and detailed visuals with ultra-wide 178? viewing angles. Scratch-resistant Corning® Fit Glass and a textured chassis design that prevents hand slippage ensure Nexus 7 by ASUS is incredibly robust and meets the demands of consumers on the go.
Nexus 7 by ASUS is optimized for Google Play, putting all the entertainment you love right in your hand: the world's largest collection of eBooks, millions of songs, thousands of movies and TV shows, and a growing selection of magazines - plus over 600,000 apps and games.1
With over 9 hours of HD video playback, 10 hours of web browsing and hours of e-reading, Nexus 7 by ASUS is designed to go the distance so you get more play, less charging.2
Nexus 7 by ASUS comes with all your favorite Google Mobile™ services, like Gmail™, Chrome™, Google+™, and YouTube™, putting the best of Google in the palm of your hand. Easy to use, everything automatically syncs across your tablet, smartphone, and computer. With tons of free storage in the cloud and features you'll find nowhere else, the Nexus 7 brings the best of Google and ASUS together in one streamlined and beautiful device.
The 16GB Google Nexus 7" Tablet from ASUS represents a premium Android-based device that delivers the best Google experience available on a tablet. Aside from including easy-to-use software and state-of-the-art hardware, the Nexus 7 is the first tablet to ever feature Google's Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. Jelly Bean brings intuitive controls and a plethora of customizable options. With smarter notifications, beautiful new widgets and home screen customization, the Nexus 7 takes advantage of Jelly Bean's easy to use drag-and-drop controls.
Finding that perfect balance between practicality and mobility is a difficult task. Fortunately, the Nexus 7 combines both into a slim, lightweight tablet with a perfectly-sized 7" IPS display. With a 1280 x 800 native resolution, you'll be able to enjoy deeper black levels and vibrant color when playing your high-definition video content. The screen is made by scratch-resistant Corning glass so you don't end up with unwanted marks when carrying your Nexus 7 around.
Mobility is key for any tablet and the Nexus 7 is no exception. It is only 0.41" thin and weighs less than a pound so you can carry it around with you wherever you go without adding any bulk to your bag. You don't have to worry about low battery life either since the Nexus 7 can run for over 9 hours during HD video playback, 10 hours when web browsing or e-reading and up to 300 hours when in stand-by mode.

You can also tap the microphone on the keyboard and use your voice to type out your emails, SMS or anything else you want to text. The Android Beam makes it easy to share contacts, websites, apps, maps, directions and YouTube videos to other people close by. Simply hold two NFC-enabled Android tablets close to each other and push to beam and share. With Jelly Bean at its core, the Nexus 7 is faster and more intuitive than ever before

I bought an ASUS Transformer Prime and really enjoy it, but soon realized that 10" was too big and hard to carry around every day. The Nexus 7 is great, and at 7" it is very easy to transport and keep around with me every day. Very happy with the purchase

I live in Montreal, I ordered the Nexus 7 tablet on a Thursday, I received it on the next Wednesday. Pretty quick delivery by NCIX as usual.
Android 4.1 JellyBean is a bit different than earlier versions. IT DOES NOT HAVE FLASH ! What ?! You also can not delete Gmail accounts if/when you want.

This is my first tablet ever and I love it. I use it instead of my phone now for music and all media. It's also great for browsing the web on the go although it may be just the wifi version but you can just get the more expensive version if you need data too. The size of the device and screen is great and isn't as heavy as a 10 inch tablet so it's even more convenient for me. The screen is very clear with its IPS display. The Tegra 3 inside does a good job and helps to keep the price of the device down although it might not be as fast as a Snapdragon or an Exynos. A great all around performer at a great price point

There are areas that could be improved, but for the price this is a solid build. There are a few Nexus 7 issues floating around, but this one (purchased for a family member) has not experienced any so far.
I bought this 30 of dec from NCIX, it took forever to get here and I paid for shipping instead of free shipping hoping to get it sooner??. other than that , I am very satisfied with this tablet. I downloaded a few golf games and some books and find the tablet easy to handle, and fun to play with. This was my first purchase of a tablet and I highly recommend this product . Speed, ease of access and overall performance can't be beat. No sd card for added memory and the recommended screen protector are the only negatives I have for this product. Thanks
