Well the nexus 7 is about half way into its life cycle. I got my nexus 7 a little under 2 weeks ago and I could not be happier. The tablet runs very smoothly and I haven't noticed any lag. I can't speak for games since I'm not much of a gamer but I would suppose they would run smoothly as well. I am also loving the roms
