Its looks like there will be A nexus 8/9
So how many of us are going to upgrade?
I know I will
it may have:
64-bit Nvidia Tegra K1
5GB/2GB of RAM
5MP/8MP rear-facing camera
8.9-in 2,560x1,600 display
If it's less than $300, I will.

I probably will not go the Nexus route again for a next tablet.
I'm thinking the new generation Atom chips are alright and I might get the Dell Venue 8 Pro or its successor. Might as well have the full Windows 8.1 capability on a tablet... And that Active Stylus intrigues me.

Thats why i want the nexus 8/9
it will be 64bit Tegra K1
i voted no. i dont see myself buying a new mini tablet for a while. the nexus 7 does everything i need well,i just need to read PDFs and watch a few movies while reclined.i think it should last me at least 2 more years if i dont break it (ive got a case).
if i do get another tablet,it will probably be a windows tab with a bigger screen to replace my netbook which is from 2011 and seems to be dying out even tho ive replaced the HD,my guess is it's a motherboard issue/overheating.
I use my tablet for streaming. Nothing more. So I'll stick with my N7 til its dead. ?
I'm hoping the 5gs of RAM rumors are true
But you know a tablet having more RAM then most laptops
Brings doubts

Today's computer woot is a kick butt Dell tablet. Very tempting. 256 SSD, i5, IPS 1920x1080, 36000(!) mAh battery. Keyboard that adds battery available, desktop dock available, Windows 8.1 Pro, etc. etc. Fro $549. I would absolutely get this over any 10" android tablet. Its basically an ultrabook without a keyboard. I have an extra Office 2010 license from a 3 pack i bought a few years ago, too. Wife would strangle me, though, lol.
Maybe?
Picked up the nvidia Shield tablet yesterday. I got sick of the lock ups and lag on my nexus 7, and jumped on the opportunity. This thing is nice, no lag, bigger screen but close to the same size, front facing speakers. It's basically like the "leaked" nexus 8 but available now for $300. Personally I think the leak was BS, and while the nexus might be great I got sick of waiting.

I just sold my laptop last month for a great price and now I'm playing the waiting game until I can get my HP Touchsmart TM2 convertible tablet. I'm dying for an update on a release date, but I'm getting nothing. There is one out already, but it's got the old dual-core. I'm waiting for this baby...

The Fujitsu and Toshiba models seem to be a bit too expensive. Anyone else have any recommendations? I need a real keyboard.
Otherwise, discuss tablet PCs!
I'm completely confizzled.... is this to talk about your dilemma or tablet PC's?

I saw a video of the performance and it was a little buggy. Hopefully they will fix that before release...
Taking a look at the specs, they are a bit meh here. I won't lie
I have a dell xt2 and I am itching to find something better for tablet pc options especially because I travel in and out of LA and Chicago in summer and winter (so the sun is a big issue)
I complain and moan and groan about the dell xt2 for a variety of reasons; mostly its dell using old parts (core 2 dual processor and a 5400 rpm hd where the previous model had a 7200 rpm). Dell ram is an arm and a leg, and SSD is so ridiculously priced its not even funny. Dell tech support is full of morons with their head caught so far up their proverbial anus they assume issues are normal.
And despite all of the problems I have with the dell xt2, I think about the tablet pcs now and I realize this is the best I can get for the type of person I am. I'm a clinical psychology student, so a capacitive touch screen is very important. Pressure sensitivity would help in adobe like programs, but it is not necessary. I like having the ability to use my finger to size and resize because I read my ebooks. I can run mac osx, windows, and ubuntu, and I look for further customization granted and nothing can be found. But I realize for now this is the best tablet for me.
I don't need a tablet that can pop off at the top separating keyboard from screen, I need a higher gpu processor so I can render things a bit faster granted. All in all the tablet pc market is a waiting game. The i7 by lenovo is a joke (which is shocking). Maybe hp would be better with a capacitive touch screen and built with thin and portability in mind
edit
I just saw the hp elitebook 2740p
and I am impressed a bit
i7 2.6 ghz
8 gig ram
250 gig hd
2 mp webcam
lightweight like the dell xt
multitouch
However, the bad part is the pricetag is almost 3000 dollars psh no way I'm doing that mess - at least not until I get some cash and sell my dell xt2
Perhaps the only issue I easily see with the tablet is that where is the hp custom suite??? its like nonexistent which is a huge negative especially if its marketed as both a consumer and business tablet. I mean the hp touchsmart theme can be installed but that's not the point. Que sera sera
Well, the HP Touchsmart is supposed to be coming out with an i5. Given that it will be the same form factor for the most part, you can max at 8GB of RAM on 64-bit and 500+GB HD. That should only be $1200-$1350.

wayyyyy too expensive for the features...that's double the price of what HP is expected to have ready in less than 30 days
If it is soley about price Thinkpads are not usualy the way to go, but IMO they are worth every penny. With it you get the best keyboard, the best pointing device (trackpoint/nipple > mouse > touchpad), the best build quality, and with X200 T, the best tablet computer.
If you already have a laptop and are just looking for an auxillory tablet, then something else is in order. But if you want a laptop and a tablet, or just something with the convience of a tablet that still has the full power and utility of a laptop, the X200 T is hard to beat. It is the only tablet which I would consider a "laptop replacement" (it's a laptop in disguise); to me the higher price and extra 1.5 pounds are made up for by this fact.
I do wish Lenovo would shove more powerful hardware into their machines, especily on the GPU side. And honestly one of the biggest draws for me and many other Thinkpad fans is the trackpoint/nipple. Once you get used to it, you can never go back to using a touchpad, and at times it is even difficult to use a regular mouse. I know Dell puts something similar on their business laptops but it is a far ineferior implamentation to the Thinkpads'.
HP Slate looks alright
and it's the normal smartphone price about £350.00 and has a 1.3 Ghz processor!
not to big as well because that was one of apples failure along with the oth half a million because if you want to type with both hand you have to put the flippn' thing down.
wanna get my self a slate

I agree with you on the build quality. From what I have seen, Lenovo seems to dominate that market, but I just cannot agree with you with the trackport/nipple. I've logged quite a bit of time with Lenovos and IBMs and I just don't get why they still make that thing. I upgrade my mouse every year and I just can't have anything else. Well, maybe a stylus!
But what I was really looking for is a netbook with touch capabilities that can convert into a slate. I want a real keyboard and I want specs that beat the XPS M140 (Intel M 1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, 80GB HD) and I want to be ready for touch software coming out later this year. I didn't want to spend more than $1000 either. It seems that the HP Touchsmart is the best (and only) one so far.
IdeaPad S10-3t is garbage. EeePC T101mt is garbage. the S10 blade gets expensive when you want to upgrade to something decent. And the HP Touchsmart Tm2 seems to be perfect, just needs an optical drive.
I have got an hp pavillion tx2650eg which is very fine with its touchscreen. The touch input isn't that good, but the input with the inductive pen is wonderful

I read a while back that Dell was investing in convertible tablets, but I haven't seen anything yet. I'd trust purchasing Dell, but they just don't have anything cost-worthy.
Also, it's always good getting jobs early in the degree process and then working your way up. I apparently make more now in my bachelor's position than others trying to get jobs with their master's degree. If only that degree would finally come in the mail.

And not a day goes by without me Googling "hp touchsmart tm2" for new results...
I mean tablets are generally more expensive, require a lame data plan, have a barely usable keyboard, and are much more limited in terms of games than say a laptop? I mean all in all I can't find a plus side as to why a tablet beats even the worst laptop I own. I just wanted to get some input as to how a tablet could be better than a laptop... my laptop is barely larger and is actually lighter than most tablets so I can't find a reason to justify buying any except the 5 inch streak (due to it also being a phone)
They're more portable; you have to remember.that tablets are made for consuming data, not inputting.
That makes them great for pretty much any leisurely activity you can think of, but they aren't made to actually do work on.
Waking up and having one in bed; going to the coffee shop and relaxing; using while wwatching tv; these are all possibly better with a tablet.
Hell I have an ipad and I use it for every one of those; I pretty much only use my computer for typing papers, downloading things, and printing documents.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
Well I guess I splurged and bought the Adamo XPS and in terms of portability I'd say they're about equal. I wake up with it next to me and dont even use my TV anymore thanks to netflix on this thing. I mean in my opinion you get all the function of both a laptop and a tablet on a good laptop... I can't think of a thing an ipad can do that my laptop cant and can think of a million things the other way around.

As always there is a golden compromise.
I was looking for a tablet like the ZTE Light or Samsung G. Tab but couldn't justify splashing out the money they cost.
Also without an extra (expensive) contract with a provider they would be useless.
Can't see much usefulness in those cheap China made Android tablets without 3G/4G connection, that's flooding the market.
So I stick with my compromise between Laptop and Tablet. A Netbook from 2009.
The Eee PC 1005HA have more power than a Android tablet and longer battery time 3-7 hours, dependent power saving or performance setting for battery power (the batteries have been used daily for two years).
Also Win7starter is a far more powerful OS than any phone-OS.

Apart from that it's a bloody awful device!
If you hold it portrait it feels top heavy like it wants to fall out of your hand, turn it through 180 and it still feels top heavy.
Apps are expensive, £6-8 for an RDP client which is free on other systems?
£5 for Angry Birds!
It takes at least 5 minutes to turn on.
I spent a day using one and within minutes realised why they just aren't selling.

Hi everybody!
I'm about to get a tablet. Not sure yet which one, but the Nexus 7 is definitely one of my targets.
So I was wondering, if you, Nexus 7 owners, are still happy and would still recommend it.
If not, let me know why and what you'd recommend instead.
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards and greetings from Germany.
Yup still love it. My first tablet tho. I'm very on the go and 7" is perfection. Battery lasts me most of the day playing galaxy on fire 2 and streaming shows from xfinity. It runs super smooth and touch seems more sensitive than other devices. Sometimes I have an issue where the screen won't respond but turning the screen on and off seems to fix that.

Hi everybody!
I'm about to get a tablet. Not sure yet which one, but the Nexus 7 is definitely one of my targets.
So I was wondering, if you, Nexus 7 owners, are still happy and would still recommend it.
If not, let me know why and what you'd recommend instead.
Looking forward to your answers.
Kind regards and greetings from Germany.

I think what might help inform your decision is what you intend to use the tablet for.
The prime example being, if you need a lot of local storage, this might not be the device for you as it has no removable SD card slot. (although with rooting and USB OTG you can mount external flash devices)
If you're after a great overall tablet for consuming content, I can't think of a better option at this price. I'm virtually addicted to mine (much to my wife's chagrin).
Its the best. Get one ASAP! Device is works very well. Best bang for buck.
Love it. It's a fantastic device and the form factor rocks as far as i'm concerned.
still like it? its been less than a month lol
ive had 2 defective ones and a 3rd is being sent to me, and i still like it.
Absolutely no regrets, having the power of Tegra and a stock Android install really shows just how powerful the platform can be. And for the price it really is quality piece of kit, the only downsides to my mind are the lack of expandable storage and no HDMI out. But storage can be solved quickly and very cheaply with an USB OTG cable, the HDMI out will soon be solved through Miracast, and the nearest competitors with these features cost almost double the price.
If you're in the market for a tablet, there's really no competition for the Nexus 7 right now unless money is no object.

um....
I'm looking forward to use a tablet for browsing the internet while I'm on the couch / bed and if possible watch a few episodes of my favorite TV shows while I'm traveling (train / airplane). I'm not much of a gamer and for music I've got my little iPod. That's pretty much it...
I have only one problem with mine. I can't put the damn thing down.

well....yes. I've decided to buy a smartphone (name is not relevant) once, and after only 10 days, I've regretted that decision already. I think after 4 weeks you can decide that already, don't you?
Yes I'm still happy with my purchase. I bought it on July 17 and since then I didn't use my iPad 3 yet. Same thing for my gnex... since I got jelly bean on it I've yet use my iPhone 4s. I understand why apple hates android now!

Soooo who gonna sell their Nexus 7 for a Ipad Mini?
Well come next Month we find out if Apple are gonna launch an Ipad mini, but the question is will you sell your Nexus 7 to buy one if the specs are decent & it has a Retina display plus if the price lands around what the Nexus 7 16GB is atm.
I have no doubt in my mind there will be plenty of Nexus 7's on Ebay if an Ipad Mini does come about next month.
I personally won't be selling mine as im not a fan of Apple never have been, but i reckon some on here will even if they don't admit to it right now.

There's no way Apple will sell an iPad mini at a loss. They have no qualms being the most expensive solution on the market, that's practically their business model. It will be nowhere close to $199. $349 is the lowest I see them pricing an 8GB model.
I love mine, and I don't think Apple is going to fight in the pricing weeds with N7. Lowest the iPAD mini will cost is $249 or maybe even $299
Love it. Perfect form factor for me too. Always felt the iPad was too big for my usage, felt awkward using it out and about. This thing bridged the gap nicely.

Then go for it. You won't regret it.
Yes, I get more happy the longer I have it. Now after saying that I have to say that screen size is a big factor in deciding what is best for you. I've gone through Acer Iconia A500 10.1 inch, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 inch (still have), iPad New (3) 9.7 inch and now the Nexus 7, 7 inch.
I definitely take the 7 out with me more often than I did the others.
I would visit a Best Buy or some other place that sells tablets that has them in different sized to get a feel for what is good for you and if you decide 7 is the best you should get the Nexus 7. I'm just saying that because I spent a lot of money trying to find my perfect size and should have visited a store in the first place to know my perfect size before going through all those other tablets.
I have the loose screen and it doesn't bother me one bit. It's a great companion for a daily commuter.
I can't put this thing down. It's the only tablet I use anymore.

yup everytime its in my hands I say mmmmmmmmmmmmmannnnn Im glad i got this thing :good:
I'm loving it. It's my most used tablet so far. It just feels very comfortable in the hand and works very fine. Great device.
Hey XDA community, I've been coming and going alot lately but I got tons of headaches off this so i thought let's see what you guys think,
I was offered a free ipad 3 from my brother, against getting a N7 from my out pocket, I has an ipod 4g and HTC explorer, so am not a fan or a
hater for any of those platforms actually I love them both equally plus, they are almost identical when it comes to apps availabilty, I know the ipad
might have a slight edge in frames in that area, now onto the most important part, I'll use it mainly for ebooks reading as am studying Comp.
Science and am a gamer web browsing .. ofc ! ( again no hate for the 7-in screen ) and please don't point to the "issues massacre" that's going on
about the N7 althought RMA is not an option for me if anything wrong goes on ...
long post, sry
What's with the crazy font and centering? Makes your post difficult to read.
Get the nexus 7. Compared to the iPad, n7 is just more convenient to hold and type in terms of weight and size and more portable. The size is good enough for reading also at least for me.

Can you get both?
If in your position I would probably try and decide which size device would suit me better.... The bigger iPad is less portable and harder to use as a regular e-reader, but might be better for browsing and textbooks with diagrams and pictures.. The Nexus is more portable and a great all rounder (I am doing an IT degree and have no problems reading my textbooks.
I personally detest Apple's business practices and would never buy one of their devices, but their products are solid and you probably can't go wrong either way.

lol thought about it but I thought of an X360 right away :silly:
you've got a good point, reading text about source code might get ugly on the N7 while going back and forth ...
about the "solid" thing, I've done a jailbreak on one of these babies, and the thing got re-springing every once and a while, while the N7 actually begs you to customize it lol
I've got a tickle though .. are you experiencing any lifting or anything ? since u've got an N7

I agree as far as the size goes. I have both sizes, and I'm loving the 7" form factor. So much easier to handle when lounging around, and still big enough for my uses.

Yeah, take the free ipad3. Though, I love my nexus 7. If it was free nexus versus ipad3 the nexus has now closed the gap I'd easily say take the free nexus and you'd be happy.

That's not a biased response at all.
@OP- I own both, and both are great devices in their own regard. The screen on the iPad is unparalleled, it has a ton of awesome games, and a bunch of great productivity apps. The Nexus 7 has the customizability, and a great form factor, plus all of Google's great cloud services. I take my N7 with me, and use the iPad at home. I think the 7" is a much better size for portability, and it's the perfect size for gaming, but unfortunately the iPad just trumps Android with the shear number of high quality games available. The N7 is also a better size for reading too. If it comes down to getting an iPad 3 for free or actually buying the N7, then I would take the iPad no question. If you were going to have to spring for either, then it would be a toss up and I would lean towards the N7. If I was in your shoes though, I would take the free iPad and buy an N7
Screw it.. am getting this freebie, then I'll re-think about this whole thing WHY THE HELL SHOULD I SAY NO TO A FREE IPAD !!
Thanks all for you're hot replies

Good choice. Then you can sell it and buy 3 Nexus 7's with the money. Keep one in your car, one at home, and one at work!

Take the free ipad, sell it, buy a brand new nexus7, and use the remaining on accessories, apps, and a nice dinner.

If you need GPS then the iPad3 is useless if it's the WIFI only version since it doesn't have GPS. Take the free iPad3, sell it and buy two Nexus 7's.
I know for me personally, the ipad is too big. I like the 7 inch form factor, and the nexus 7 is designed to for portability and convenience. Just depends what your looking for I suppose. Honestly I'm not sure why anyone needs a bigger tablet but that's just me.

Ironically I sold my iPad 3 earlier today.
Initially I bought the Nexus 7 in addition to the iPad but since owning it I just haven't put it down. Yes the iPad has more polished apps but the sheer power, flexibility and portability of the N7 can't be beaten. I found I simply couldn't justify keeping the iPad!
