i currently have the prime and got gf the 7inch nexus. i've been using it and am impressed with the speed and am thinking of switching from my prime.
i use my prime at work for a lot of note taking, wondering if anyone in the similar scenario made the switch.
I have a GTAB 10.1 and am going to use the nexus for about a month then decide which I want to keep.

have a Xoom...in my honest opinion...7" is a wee bit small but I'm adjusting... ill probably carry both with me but I feel like an 8.9 would be perfect.
What is wrong with keeping both a 10" and a 7"?
I have a 10" tablet that (just barely) fits in my purse, buts its inconvenient. I prefer the 10" screen size for couch surfing over my Galaxy Nexus or laptops. When my preorder arrives, I imagine that the Nexus 7 will become my travel tab, and at some point I am looking to buy something like the 10" Infinity for couch surfing.
I went from an Archos 70 IT 7" 400x800 to Xoom 10.1" 1280 x 800, and now the N7's 7" 1280 x 800.
I realized that i actually really always liked the 7" form factor, i just needed a higher res display, the N7 is doing the trick nicely.

That's good to hear. I haven't gotten my Nexus 7 yet, but I already sold my TF101. The TFT101 was slightly big for my liking.
I'm coming from a tf201 while the screen is smaller on a N7, the performance on the N7 is fantastic compared to the Prime.
Came from a TF300 and I like the N7 a lot more. Its easier to type on, hold, and carry. The PPI is also bad ass.

Cam from a TF101 and I have to say that I am much happier.
I am missing the extra screen just a bit but its MUCH easier to carry around.
Love it!
Selling 1st gen ipad tomorrow, i am using it mainly for reading, i was afraid of it but i can hold in in one hand and read 10px font without problem, ppi is far more superior so it can fit more text on screen, so i dont need to turn page a lot (i know im lazy)
Yeah, I have a Viewsonic Gtab at the moment which I mainly use for reading manga. My main concern with the N7 is that the manga pages won't fill the whole screen but with the higher resolution and DPI of the N7 I'm almost certain my concern is moot.
Came from a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Nexus 7, still getting used to the size but I do personally find it a bit on the small side. Although the PPI is sexy.
I sold a 64gb Ipad 3rd Gen for it...
Have the original Asus Transformer which my 4yr daughter uses more than me actually and benefits from the games and puzzles so I'm keeping it. I'm going to be using N7 a lot and commuting with it to/from work as soon as the screen cover and case come in. The Transformer was just a little too heavy with all the other things I carry esp in this hot weather.
I'm having a bit tougher time, I have a Tab 8.9 LTE as well, and it's a great 2011 tablet, especially since it doesn't have a Tegra 2 (Snapdragon S3), does have LTE, and is a good size for long term use.
I suspect I'll be keeping it along with the Nexus 7, especially if ICS releases for it in the next few weeks like they promised. If nothing else, it's a better "Netflix in the loo" device.
I went from 10in Gtab > Kindle Fire > iPad 2 > Nexus 7
I really like the 7in form factor. 10 inch tablets are a pain to carry around (imho). I liked that I could keep my Kindle Fire in my back pocket or in my jacket. I cant wait for my N7 to arrive tomorrow!
Hey Guys,
I need some help here. So basically i have the all new Google Nexus 7 tablet which has just launched. So I am getting an offer to exchange my Nexus 7 for an ASUS EEE Pad Transformer TF101. I was considering switching but was not able to make the descsion, so i need help from you guys on whether switching/exchanging a Nexus 7 for a TF101 Transformer Is worth it? The Transformer has a Dual Core Tegra 2 while as the Nexus 7 has a Quad core Tegra 3. Other than that the Transformer seems better. It has a larger screen with slightly lower PPI, it has a 5 MP camer + front facing one too. It has 16GB internal + expandable storage(not sure if expandable). Build quality and battery life seems equal on both. So i want to know if the Tegra 2 is well performing on the TF101 and whether it can handle the latest games/apps and whether the TF101 lags?
Thanks all!
Do you get the keyboard or just the tablet?
The Asus Transformer is also worth taking a look coz its is bundled with features....
But finally it depends upon you that what are your needs as If you want to use it for hardcore gaming then obv. Transformer is the one to go with but if you want a pure Google experience and are GOOGLE FAN then you should stay with the Nexus 7 as it has the latest and coolest features....but in the end u r the 1 who has to make the decission as per ur needs... Happy googling

Even running at stock speed, my TF runs all the games I've played smoothly. ....But there are some newer games optimized for Tegra 3. BTW, I have both the TF and Nexus 7, and they're both awesome in their own way.

If it is new or a refurb and not coming from a private/owner seller, I say go for it. You can always buy another Nexus 7 when the price drops. If it is the owner, then maybe you could work out a temporary/trade/try it. If pre-owned does it have any problems. Maybe nothing is wrong and they are just feeling the urge ( you know, that desire for the latest toy). I have noticed that the price for the TF101 has gone up since I bought mine 7 months ago. I will probably buy the N7, due to the urge. But I had better wait for cooler weather. Just paid an electric bill that was over $300
after using a 7', the 10.01" will seem huge in comparison. I have the keyboard dock, it's cool, with the extra battery, USB & SD slot. But I rarely use it, the soft key pad is great.
Actually you should keep the Nexus coz it is new and latest tech by the Android Owner/Developer, so it is a must have tab fr Android geeks as Google has worked hard for putting all those features in such a low rate....and the second reason is that Transformer has become a bit old and isnt the latest technology although it is a good competetor but it is like an old Grand Father with less usability.
....also you will in Starting love the keyboard along but after some time you will see no use of the keyboard....also the keyboard dock after some time becom lose and while carrying both connected it slips(nt personal experience of dock)....well indeed make a good choice which suits you the best....

Even though the n7 is a Google device I will probably never buy any tablet smaller than the 10 inch. Same reason I will never buy a phone bigger than 5 inch. Just my two cents.

It depends on your usage model. I have both the TF and N7, and ever since I got the N7 my TF has mostly stayed turned off. However, I don't plan to get rid of the TF either. I mainly use my tablets for browsing and watching downloaded videos. Browsing on the N7 is smooth and buttery, while on the TF it is reasonably quick but the occasional stutter happens more often and is therefore more irritating. The UI on the TF isn't as smooth, but in my experience apps work flawlessly. Videos, on the other hand, look better on the TF. It's not just the screen size, but the contrast seems better as well. The N7 is also easier to hold/handle due to it's small size.
Let me put it this way, if you primarily browse the web or stream most of your content (or love having the latest and greatest OS), stick with the N7. If you need lots of local storage (or are stuck with slow DSL), want to output content to a TV (I use mine to play emulator games with my PS3 controller), or want the optional convenience of the keyboard and the epic battery life that gives you, trade for the TF.
I would go ahead and probably swap a nexus 7 for an OG transformer.
Simple reason being...SD card support. They both got great screens but transformer is bigger at 10.1 inch. The difference between quad and dual core doesn't really bother me at this point in time. Both got 1 gig of ram also.
You can't really go wrong. I love my transformer still after almost a year. I've no intention of replacing it anytime soon.

I've got both and personally i would stick with the nexus. i really want to love the TF101, the keyboard hybrid is such a great idea but it's been a really frustrating experience - very often laggy as hell (press the recent apps key and wait 5 secs for it to respond!), too many bugs for a device that is now over a year old (crashed launcher, screen locking up, i still occasionally have the device randomly rebooting). the speakers and microphone are also awful, really poor quality.
The nexus really is the best android tablet on the market at the moment in terms of performance. but if screen size/storage space is important then maybe it's worth swapping - but i would consider another android tablet.
well the OG transformer has HDMi out while the nexus 7 doesnt

i would rather want the smaller form factor. taking around the Transformer+dock just seems too much like a laptop to me, and without the laptop power.
Hi,
Recently I bricked my TF300T, so using it is (IMHO) no longer an option, even if it were to be replaced.
So I'm now considering purchasing either the Nexus 10 or the Nexus 7, or if there's enough reason to wait, the next Nexus tablet.
How well do the two compare in quality?
For those of you unfamiliar with the TF300T, it has a 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3, 1 GB RAM, and I got the one with the 16 GB internal storage.
For cameras it has a 1.2 front facing camera, 8.0 rear camera. 720p screen.
I've used the cameras before, so I'm not exactly excited about losing one, if I go with the Nexus 7, so I'm leaning towards the Nexus 10 at the moment.
How powerful are the CPU&GPU in the N10?
I would like to be able to run Adobe flash applications, like Prezi, on it.
Is the high PPI display on it as amazing as Google says it is?
How long does the battery last when on stock? And how long on Cyanogenmod?
Is the 5 MP camera on the back alright? I mean, it isn't webcam quality, right?
Thanks!

The next Nexus tablet will simply be an update to the Nexus 7 model. It is due out in July and nothing but rumored specs right now until Google IO when specs become official.
I was in the same situation as you a week ago. I did a ton of research and bought a Nexus 10, and I owned a TF300 previously. Just do it. I'm very happy with the tablet and it's buttery smooth. I like the ipad screen a little better but as far as resolution goes the Nexus 10 is amazing.
Thanks for the information!
I sure am now wishing I purchased a Nexus 10 in the first place (it was either that or the TF300T when I was buying on November 24th).
Does anyone run a chroot on their Nexus 10?
How fast does it go?
I've owned both the tf300t and iPad retina and currently own the N10. I absolutely love the N10. Very fast, great battery life and screen. I went with it over the N7 because of screen resolution and faster processor.

Nexus 7 will be announced next month, so it's worth the wait. It should defiantly have a 1080p screen and a better chip. Snapdragon 600 is currently the rumor as Tegra won't be able to ship the same time and if it keeps the price of £200. It's worth the wait!
I have to say that the price of a used Nexus 7 is very appealing.
Because I'm kind of wanting one for school, I think I'll go with the N7.
Unless, of course, if there's a reason not to.

Just looking to see who else is thinking about selling their other tablet since the new N7 came out. The only thing remotely keeping me from dumping my TF300 is the keyboard, and the fact that AOKP made it amazingly smooth and fast.

I gave my OG N7 to my mom..she needed it for school, so I bought myself the TF300 lol. I'm thinking of dualbooting a linux distro on it since my girlfriend stole my laptop :< I fell in love with my N7 the moment i took it out of the box, so I know I'm keeping it. I figure I may buy another keyboard dock just for the connector and stuff and try to make a dock to use it as a media player on my TV or something..I dunno rofl. I'd like to keep it, but I don't want it to collect dust.
edit: Maybe not @ the dock, since asus apparently made a dock with basically the same things I was looking to make lol.

I've got mine listed on CL. I've had a few offers. I listed it for $150, but think I might lower it to $130. If I cant sell it I'll give to to my niece and nephew who enjoy playing with it.
I have a Nexus 10 but I am going to sell it. Is already on Swappa.
I like the Nexus 7 to travel. Fits easily in my back pockets.
I do have a Chrome Pixel that I use when I get home so I won't miss the Nexus 10 much
My other tablet is the Note 10.1 which I love especially with the multi-tasking features so it's a tough call. I've been using the Nexus 7 almost exclusively and it's growing on me, it's a nice size for gaming and the resolution is great. Although I'm looking forward to Samsung's new tablets that are coming soon.... Never ending cycle.
Still keeping my original N7 for the time my mom realizes her blackberry tablet actually sucks and I'll give here one that actually works.

Hardware wise, it doesn't seem like horrible tablet. Anyway, I played with the Nexus 7 (2013) yesterday and it feels so light(like the Kindle Paperwhite). Furthermore, the screen and sound quality was excellent. it felt wonderful in my hand. To bad I in possession of a Samsung ATIV 500T (a 11.6" Atom powered Windows 8 tablet with Wacom tech) and a Kindle paperwhite, so I don't really need the Nexus 7 (2013).

For now, I'm keeping my 1st gen n7. I has aokp 4.2.2 and runs all the apps I need it to run and I still use it. I could care less if it broke or got lost; which is a great feeling. The 2013 n7 I will just use for basic things right now seeing as how 4.3 is new and not completely supported by all apps. I like the 2013 n7 better, but until the apps catch up, I'm going to hold on to that original n7. In time I'll probably give it to a family member as a gift. Everybody and there momma is selling them on craigslist, so I probably won't go that route...
This replaced my BB Playbook, which is going on CL asap, and I'll be telling it not to let the door hit it in the rear end...
We have an "old" Nexus 7 that we will keep for sure. The iPad was sold when we got the first Nexus 7, just a hard tablet to beat, the new one even more so!
We all know this is an amazing device, but why did you get yours? I'm sure 80% of those reading this own both a nexus 7(2013) and a smartphone released within the last 2 years.

I've been lucky with my TF700T - I haven't run into the performance issues so many others have seen. With 64GB internal memory, plus a 64GB microSD in it, and another 64GB card in the dock it has tons of on-board memory - and then it has the USB port in the dock with enough juice to power a 1TB drive attached, making it excellent for playing ripped movies on the beautiful 10" screen. So for me, one does not replace the other, just makes for more flexible choices. But I do spend far more time on the N7 now.

You're one of the lucky ones... Mine (32GB) was riddled with I/O problems due to the slow memory... It was basically unusable. I was a bit unsure of the nexus because I felt burned by Asus on that, but I've been very happy with this product.

I've now got 4 of them and using them to build a Home Media System (to replace an older Intercom System) - pics and details in this thread.

One particular issue is trying to replace the simple "Page" function of the old intercom. I'm currently using Skype but it does not cut the mustard, though thankfully the developer of "Android Intercom" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidintercom&hl=en seems keen to make some changes to support what I need. Just a simple way of pressing a button and turning on two way comms between the tablets so you can say "Dinner" and the Kids can say "Coming"!
Edit, the N7 is perfect for this project as it has:
- Wireless Charging (so I can mount Qi chargers behind the picture frame)
- Touch to Wake (thanks for the ElementalX Kernal)
- Playback all the media thanks to JRiver's Gizmo
- The Speakers are OK (not great but OK)
- Stable, they don't seem to crash/hang
- Good Screen
- Cheap!

For me, I wanted a 7 inch tablet to replace my 1st edition nook color, the main purpose was for reading books. I went with the nexus 7 because of the screen and price point, didn't see much point in getting something like the kindle when the N7 screen blows everything else out of the water.
I havegalaxy note (2011) and i use my note for surfing webs but the note is very laggy and it still has outdated android 4.0 (i didnt rooted it)
So i choose nexus 7 32 gb cause of better screen fast cpu etc and nexus 7 is an EPIC device. Everything is fast. the screen is awsome and i think every penny u spend on this device is worth it! And im looking forward for android 4.4 update.
