Google Nexus 10 (Wi-Fi only, 16 GB)

This tablet is everything I expected and more!! The display is large crisp and clear, the performance smooth and quick. Two short updates and I'm running KitKat; so far it's a perfectly economical OS putting this high end tablet's juice exactly where you need it, seemingly preserving the battery in the process. The nexus 10 handles all the games I've thrown at it so far and has a good enough camera and camcorder. High definition videos are spoilt by the fact that the web is going html5 verrrryy slowly and the tablet doesn't (natively) support the ton of flash content out there. I'm looking for a work around that will help broaden my video experience on the tablet and will post progress and additional thoughts at a later date. [June1st]

I bought this to use alongside the iPad 3 I've had for a while, so here's a quick comparison of those two products:- Performance of the Nexus seems good, perhaps the best available on the Android platform based on the comparison shopping I did. However, scrolling is frequently choppy, so the iPad performance seems better.- The look and feel of the Nexus is quite nice. I love the grippy, rubberized material and the rounded shape. It makes the iPad look "square," literally and figuratively. But when I actually use the devices, I much prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio of the iPad screen. It's more practical for reading books, reading email or browsing the web and only slightly narrower for wide-screen movies.- The forward-facing speakers on the Nexus are a great idea, but they don't actually sound that good to me -- too tinny. The iPad speaker gives a fuller sound.- The iPad requires an iTunes account for some features, but the Nexus apparently requires a Google account just to turn the device on. I haven't researched this and there might be a way to disconnect -- I don't like essentially being "logged in" to Google for everything I do.Bottom line, if you want an Android tablet, I think this is an excellent choice, but if you're open to either platform, I'd recommend an iPad.

I purchased this tablet as a replacement for my iPad as the processing was very slow and I had repeated issues with it not being compatible with the websites I had to use for school. This being the only computer I really own I needed this tablet to do pretty much everything I need as a primary computer. It is also of note that although it is no where near a necessity but very very handy, I do have a Galaxy S3 phone which is compatible with the Android system on this tablet.The speed on this tablet is remarkable! The processing speed is the primary reason I chose this tablet and I am NOT disappointed. Other great aspects are that Google is responsible and timely with their updates as opposed to the Galaxy Tab or the iPad. The graphics are also extraordinary! Again, not at all disappointed!The basic layout of how to navigate the tablet took a little while as I was switching from the ipad, however, after a few days I have grown to love the three button layout; the back button, the home button, and what I will term the open programs button. This last button shows all the programs that are running/frequently used so you can easily and very quickly switch among programs. I absolutely LOVE this button after getting used to the OS. The iPad was nice if you only had to switch amongst one or two however it was a little bit of a pain to switch if you had seven programs open in my opinion. Another feature I love is being able to create up to eight home screen "folders." These can be renamed and you effectively just put whatever apps or programs you like into as many as eight different folders that show the all of the programs at a simple touch. So I have school in one with my word processing program, kindle viewer, my downloads button, and one other program in there. Another I have media with my camera, gallery, etc. Another I have music with my downloads, my media player, my downloader, pandora etc. All of these are viewable just by touching the specific folder button. REALLY REALLY convenient feature!Hope this helps!I also google searched for best tablet case/cover reviews and dollar for dollar the case I bought CANNOT be beat in my opinion! It is a Khomo black leather case with bluetooth keyboard for 35 bucks! Here is the link and I hope all of this helps!http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=khomo+nexus+10&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=6319057101&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18062338501224429972&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=t&ref=pd_sl_7xcvnr38oa_b
