I bought one today too, I think for the price it will be good. I had an N7 2013 and it was nice but just a bit small so I am hoping this will be just right. If not I will sell it on ebay and get something else. It is a great price.

mine came in yesterday according to wife, away for work till the weekend
apparently a 310 series serial number...:silly:
and it wasn't wrapped but had this silver sticker on it
Mine came in on Monday with the same sticker, but in a vertical orientation. The sticker makes me think it's new but when I opened it I found a few random strands of 2in long hair and the case close to the charge port seems slightly bent. Other than that mine seems new though with the random hair and slightly bent plastic case I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm if the tablet is supposed to be in a protective bag or not? Mine wasn't it was just sitting on the top tray of the box with the protective screen.
I attached a pic of the bent case.
sounds like a return, keep an eye on the screen quality...
i hope that silver sticker isn't a 'return-check-resell' thing from newegg, i've always been happy with stuff from them but this would be super shifty...
whats your serial series?
My S/N starts with 310, so I'm assuming that is one of the newer runs? Other than the fishiness of it I haven't seen anything about the tablet other then that deformed part that has bothered me about it. I ran a dead pixel app to see if there was anything and no dead pix and no backlight bleed to really notice. I get about 4-5 hrs of screen on time from social media browsing and chromecasting with BT and GPS turned off, wifi on, auto dim on. I don't know if it's an issue but the knock on is sometimes non-responsive requiring 2-3 tries before it wakes up.
my understanding is that 310 is the early run, followed by 311 and the slightly less troublesome 312 line
there's a backlight bleed app i've seen mentioned around the forums, try that
yeah you'll have to pay for retuurn shipping i'm sure, try the bleed app with brightness down like below 40% thats where the spotting usually shows upOh it is? Yah I guess I didn't do my research well enough. There is a slight bit of bleed/halo, but it's just on the bottom edge of the screen and only really noticeable if I have like max brightness on using a backlight bleed app I found. Wondering if it is worth it to see if Newegg will exchange it and if I'll end up getting charged for a return/shipping. Wished the sale had been for the black version though.

My local best buy price matched the $249.99 price found on newegg, so if you can't wait like me and don't mind paying sales tax there's another option.
