Heres the thing. The N7 is pretty good. Ive been using one full-time for 2 weeks. The screen is gorgeous. reading tweets and mobile Gaf and RSS feeds is fine.
And yet the overall experience still feels like a second class experience compared to the one year old ipad mini.
There are fewer decent apps that actually feel like more than smartphone apps.
The zooming and scrolling performance - even on 4.3 - is still not as fluid as the old iPad mini or an iPad 3.
battery drain while sleeping is way, way worse than on iOS, so it needs to be plugged in more frequently and more care needs to be taken about which apps are running.
There are tradeoffs for all devices. The N7 has the best price and is more portable, but it really does not feel as nice or work as smoothly as the mini. And the screen size and AR means that apps are more crammed - like iphone apps - than ipad apps. It feels like a more constrained device.
I know you dont give a shit about these things and you just like to troll. But for anyone else who has not used iPads or Nexus 7 devices, its not a cut and dry case for the cheaper, higher spec'd Nexus. You really need to play around with both for extended periods of time and figure out just what you want to do with one of these before you say the N7 is the leader in the category. I do not think its that simple.
Agreed. Though I'm not sure how scrolling and zooming were measured on the N7 in some general way, but whateva.
I've owned both for some time. The OG mini was better at app consumption (iOS), games (iOS) and lite content creation (better apps). N7 better at multimedia (aspect ratio and stereo speakers), web browsing (screen resolution and weight), reading (aspect ratio and resolution)
New mini at least solves the resolution so reading is improved. Though its still heavier. But it lasts longer.
One device looks and feels premium, the other is cheaper materials but lighter and cheaper priced.
