Nexus 7 Tablet: Mega Value for your money

Along with the revealing of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, there was loads of other goodies that Google took time to share and discuss with its developers and users.

One of them that should not be missed is the unveiling of an awesome tablet, Google Nexus 7 Tablet.


This is one monster of a tablet for a fraction of the price you would have to pay for other tablets near similar specs. Not only that, this bad puppy will also run on 4.1 Jelly Bean, fully taking advantage of the latest updates.

All you have to pay for this great piece of technology is:

• USD199 for 8GB (internal storage) version

• USD 249 for 16GB  (internal storage) version

That would be like 700-800 Ringgit only! Take my money now!!!

Just try comparing this to the local tablet which a local maker is trying to sell for 999 Ringgit known as 1Malaysia Pad (click to view specs)

Here is a quick rundown on the specs for Google Nexus 7 Tablet:

• 7 inch IPS display - 1280 x 800 pixels

• 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3

• 1GB Ram

• 12 core ultra-low voltage Nvidia GeForce GPU

• 8GB or 16GB internal storage

• WiFi, Bluetooth & NFC (Google Wallet enabled)

• No 3G model (yet, probably in the near future)

• Front facing 1.2MP camera

• No rear camera :(

• Dimensions: 198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm

• Weigh - 340 grams

• Battery - 4325 mAh 

How can someone not love all that sexiness squeezed into a 7 inch tablet for a couple of hundred bucks?

Microsoft Surface: A Comparison

For those that live in a cave with no internet connection, Microsoft has just recently revealed their new Tablet / Ultrabook called Surface.


It looks totally sexy and after going through the specs, I started throwing my money at the screen and sticking my credit card into the CD slot in hopes of purchasing one NOW! but sadly...

Anyway, quite a few people has been asking what is so great about it, looks like just another tablet, blah blah blah. Well, instead great wall of text, I have made a nice little mashup comparison table.

The Tablet / Ultrabook mashup comparison takes a look at Surface against the top current models available.

Hope the about help put things about Surface in better perspective.

To close things off, here is a video of the product unveiling that took place recently.
