Google's Warranty

---

I've never own a Nexus device or have purchased it directly from Google. How is Google with respect to warranty for the device?

Not all devices are perfect and being an early adopter always has risks but I want to preorder the 7. Lets say the 7 has a Wi-Fi or battery problem which can be fixed by switching it with a new device, do I have to pay for shipping both ways to Google? Or since its built by Asus, is the warranty provided by Asus instead?

The Nexus 7 is manufactured by ASUSTeK Computer Inc. ASUS provides a limited 12 month warranty for the Nexus 7. Please refer to the warranty card in the Nexus 7 packaging or ASUS for details on the ASUS limited warranty.

I also read that for the first 15 days Google will provide free UPS shipping to get an exchange if it's defective.

If you notice a problem when you first use it, return it....you do not want a RMA with Asus. Horror stories abound on the Transformer Forum concerning wifi and other issues on the Prime. Good luck getting them to pay shipping when or if you need to send it back.
