I am thinking of a buying a Galaxy Tab 10.1. The asking price is $300 obo so it is negotiable. Is this a good decision or not?
I am rather uninformed about the current tablet scene so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
No. Google has just announced the Nexus 10 which is $399 for the 16GB version. The seller is likely trying to sell now so they can trade up before people jump on the current round of new devices and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is worth even less.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is outdated already and Samsung will not be providing anymore software updates for it. (Although I'm sure there will be people saying that it's not 100% certain and their web petitions may cause Samsung to miraculously change their minds and spend more money on getting Android 4.1 released to this device)
Nexus 10. Dream tablet.

Another nexus 10 recommendation, unless its too expensive (I'd recommend waiting and saving up for the difference if money is an issue) or if you must have mobile data on your tablet (if you can tether from your phone this isn't an issue, or if you will always have an available wifi connection).
No way...go for the Nexus 10.

The tab 10.1 will likely not be getting official jelly bean + The screen is not as good as other offerings right now. I think the nexus 10 with its much better screen, and straight from google updates is a much better device for $100 more. Also, where do you live? Used 16 gb tab 10.1s can be had for under $250 off Kijiji in most Canadian cities, and I'd bet it's similar in the states.
Asking $300? Ask him/her if u can punch them in the mouth for offering it @ such a silly price! For that, you might as well spend a few more bucks and buy it retail so you get a warranty with it. On eBay, most working 1st gen S.G 10.1 tabs average between $200-250, depending on the condition and what comes with it. Or you can do what I did and buy a broken one and repair it yourself.
I bought one with a broken screen on eBay for $99 + s/h. Ordered a new LCD for $55 and digitizer for $22 which totals about $175 that I spent on the tab.. which beats buying a working one for more than what it's worth. The 1st generation tab is still a good pick, better than the 2nd gen some say, as long as you're rooted w/ a custom rom and o/c capable kernel installed.
So, if you really want a 1st gen. galaxy tab 10.1, I'd say offer him $200. Otherwise, try eBay or hold out for something better, like mentioned above.

You would have to troubleshoot on your laptop as well. Like reinstalling drivers and such if you didn't attempt that.
Back when it was released it was a good tablet. But with very bad support from Samsung, it lost it's grip.

The drivers re-installed more than 10 times. Moreover the other Samsung devices recognized by same laptop properly !

I want to be a 7" tab for gaming and watching videos. Is tab 2 a good buy ? Because nexus 7 costs almost double than tab 2 in my country.
Or should I go with nexus 7, it is worth the price?
I am really confused
The gtab7" is a decent tab. I have the 10.1" and like it a lot. If I were to buy a 7"tab though, I would buy the nexus (probably the new updated version) The gtab2 7" is selling in the US for around $170. The current nexus 7 16gb is going for around $200 and $250 for 32gb. So for me the current version nexus 7 would Be the best option as far as price goes.

Here tab2 16gb costs $160 and nexus 7 $280. That's why i was confused. Is nexus 7 worth extra $120?

Spec wise, the nexus 7 is the faster device and will get newer versions of android faster, so if those are the end all be all then is the extra 120 worth that to you, but also remember the nexus 7 (like the entire nexus line) lacks a microsd card slot, so if that is important to you then you can just take the nexus 7 off your list of possibles.

Hey guys have a question. Ive been wanting another 7" tablet for awhile now and the Nexus 7 has always been at the top of the list. And just as I was about to finally get it all these rumors and announcements of the next nexus 7 come out. As you all know Staples has the 32gb on sale right now for 199, and theres a coupon code to get another $30 off. I have one on hold and reserved for me at my local Staples. So I am trying to decide if I should wait or buy now. If its true that the new one will be 299 as some rumors speculate, then the price difference between the 2 is about $140. As far as what I need in a tablet it would be pretty basic. Games, emails, web, etc. I dont need a camera, or LTE. So theres not much of a difference between them for what I need it for. One of my main concerns though is all these people talking about the performance drops, boot issues that some are having. But I also read that it might be just the 16gb version that are having issues. So anyway I figured here is a good place to ask to get some good info and advice. TIA.
Actually my 16 gb n7 performs quite good. But wait for next one.

Well it depends on you, the new nexus will have a snapdragon s4 quad core and 1080p also, and the 16gb I believe will start at $250 but correct me if I'm wrong. I have a 32gb WiFi and it runs like a champ. That sounds like a good deal for $170 as I got my 32gb for $250 so good luck on your choice.......rumor is Taiwan will get the new nexus 7 at end of month so you could check the web to see if you like or not!
I had a 16gb and its was laggy, but I decided to get the 32gb version when I broke the 16gb and got my square trade payout. The 32gb has been great, its stable, fast, and don't even have any light bleed.

Here you go, coupon back up good until 7-21.
Let's look at the facts. The new gen it's probably coming next week, but, if the rumours are true, it should be a little mre expensive, starting at 229$ aprox. If i were you, i would wait and see, and if the new Nexus it's worth the price, i would grab that one.

Well I got my old Nexus 7 2012 for $199 USD from staples, it was on sale their after the new Nexus 7 released. I've decided to keep the old Nexus 7, but if you're deciding to get which, I would suggest you get the new nexus either 16 GB or 32 GB. It is worth the wait and its very fun to hold and its fast also. But if you grow impatient then buy the old one 32 GB, that tablet is actually more than you need.

So Do you think the problems which are occuring in new nexus will be fine after the updates of google. Those multiotuch & GPS issues are very frightening & making me if new nexus comes I can loose the low cost old nexus which is having no issues .
Only New nexus is promising few things as below :
1. Better resolution/display
2. Fast processor
In rest everything old nexus seems fine like new.
Yes the issues are fixed, at least I think they issued a patch to address that. If not, it is a big issue that will get addressed quickly. If you can afford the new one get that, the latest and greatest is always the best. With that said I have a 2012 version and have zero complaints.

Not really fixed, not for the majority, and those were not the biggest issues.

I heard some high end games developed for new nexus are also not able to sync with its advanced hardware. If Google will not resolve it will be loosing its name in Quality Tablets.

Hi guys/gals,
I can pick up n7 for £179 but is it worth waiting for n8?
I know price will be 300 or thereabouts as screen increase but would the extra cpu and ram and maybe resolution make it worth it for 1" bigger screen?
Thanks
There is no reason for waiting for N8,since it's just a rumour d no official word on it. A new Nexus device probably launch with a new version of android & expect it around June or July. So waiting for N8 may be worthless.
Still Nexus 7 2013 is an awesome device & you will love your new purchase. E179 is an awesome deal & you should definitely grab it

More than the extra inch in screen size, something worth the wait could be the possible change in the aspect ratio if they will move from 16:10 to 3:2. However this change isn't confirmed and so it simply depends on your current needs. July is 5 months away from now. If the market price will be higher than all the previous launch prices for N tablets, the SoC could even be something nice and new like the Snapdragon 805 and so worth the wait.
Yeah SoC upgrade will be worth it.
My only not sure area is as I already have a Asus TF300T (yes it is a slow hog) I can still use it for videos etc while at home fine. I just need something portable for trains so dont want to spend over £200 on that as already have 10" tab. So the fact that the N8 if made wont be same price as N7 at launch I doubt I can spend that much.
Thanks guys
Only thing that would be worth the wait in my opinion is if:
# they add a digitizer for pen input
# possibly a more efficient battery (not necessarily bigger)
# 64 bit chip with the necessary RAM upgrades to see the actual boosts in performance
The Nexus 7 2013 still flies as it is. I doubt there will be pen input and 64 bit tablets at the moment still only see around 2 GB of RAM.
I'd go with the Nexus 7. Just my 2 ¢ents!

I bought it
£179 for a N7 is good I think. Doubt N8 will drop to that price less then a year of release!
If the next nexus is made by ASUS, I'm not buying it. I'll switch to LG or Samsung. Both my nexus 7s from 2012 and 2013 have had frustrating touch screen issues that eventually make me not want to use them for anything but reading books.

I personally love the form factor of the N7. I use this on the go sometimes. The form factor is small enough I slip this into pocket and use it like I would a phablet(minus calling and SMS) these days hangouts and Facebook suffice. I tether my N5 to this bad boy since I have free 2.5 of tethering

I was planning on waiting but I got such a good deal on a Nexus 7 32gb last week that I couldn't pass it up ($115 for a open box 32gb one). I might consider switching to the Nexus 8 if the specs are nice enough though.

I would imagine that a gently used 32gb Nexus 7 2nd gen would sell for more than $100 even after the Nexus 8 is announced.
But anyways, yes you make a valid point and that is what I was suggesting in my prior post. Very interested to see nexus 8 though. I will probably be content though.
Agreed. After returning N7 fhd in July, got a much better one in Nov. but still interested in the N8 if, indeed, one comes to fruition.
