I've been holding out, really wanted a nexus 7, but for this price the spec seems insane. any feedback jenkins? Love it? hate it?

I'm likely to get one of these. Looks brilliant.

Question is, will PC World (or someone else in the UK) be stocking the slide cover? It's not shown on the site, and it look like a really nice addition to the device.

The other question, for me, is will it support GameStream?

Apparently the cover will be another few weeks in arriving in Currys/PC World, and less than 1 for 1 availability to begin with against the tablet so get in there quick on the order if you want the official magnetic cover.

Clean UI. SD card slot. Neat thin-nibbed capacitive stylus - better than expected given passive and feels more pleasantly substantive than S-Pen.

Needs root to get rid of all Google extras (most of which I personally do not want). Seems worryingly slow to recharge for some reason. Factory reset once as whole system slowed down. Form factor utilitarian (but I quite like it).

hey guys just some feed back i have my Note, and i love it. its Crazy fast. and for performance , its at the top of all benchmarks iv tried its a bit heaver than the nexus 7 (2013), my mother has one, and a bit dimmer and yes the screen rez is alot lower on the note, BUT, the games look amazing. not only that but for when using it with say... PPSSPP, you see a bit frame jump. just need to wait for the dev's to fix for specific games. the front camera is shocking.. but you will never use that. and for the back, its fun and has slow-mo, which made me and my misses laugh a bit. the pen is amazing too, Very fast response time, and very good to use with Fruit ninja, and cut the rope for example, for web surfing, its Fast i mean Really fast compared the the old nexus 7. the speakers are Very loud and clear.

over all i love this.! just waiting on the slide case and the other pens to come out!

Picked up mine yesterday and so far very pleased. Its worlds apart from my original Vega!
Hoping to grab the official cover soon as available.
The screen is supposedly the same as the original Nexus 7 and is more decent though not retina searingly bright which I don't mind.

Dead Trigger 2 works beautifully at max detail. I played using my Ouya controller which paired perfectly and just needed to remap controls to pad buttons.

Lots of things to try out in the coming days.

Glad to hear it guys, I should be picking mine up soon. I've been really reading into this tablet and not a lot seems to be going on in the realms of root etc.

I have found this though:

Definitely needs translating though as I cant read chinese. This seems to be based on the same tablet platform but has no Gapps? I wouldnt try it out but could be a decent start?

I am hoping for a little more support and a root for mine too. hopefully someone smarter than me can figure it out.

Yes,

When its plugged in, did it say that "fastboot" drivers couldnt be installed? Go to settings-about the tablet. tap on the build number until developer options are unlocked. activate usb debugging. drivers will reinstall and viola! working drivers.

just a update, i got it working thanks.. im not "new" to rooting and flashing. the problem was windows 8.1, the silly thing is... i had to install the media pack, because im on w windows 8.1 (N), So just look out for all of you having problems. i was having the same problem with my galaxy note n7000,, then i installed windows meda pack, and it work's, Thanks anyway though

got mine today, this tablet is fast very fast compared to my nexus 7 2012.
has anyone got a nexus 7 2013 and this tegra note? what sort of speed difference is there between the two?

everything on my tablet seems to be working fine. GPS has not acquired a fix yet but I haven't played much with it yet to do some in depth testing.

Agreed

Had mine abut 5 weeks now. First unit came with defective SD slot, but was exchanged, new unit 100%

Faassst... responsive , great for gaming and multimedia

Only downsides so far are screen resolution could be better and wireless is 802.11 b/g/n I would have preferred 802.11 a/b/g/n- basically 1080p across a (fairly well saturated) wireless connection stutters, played from local media is fine

Nice piece of kit. Switched "down" from a 10.1' tablet for the gaming performance and actually prefer this form factor. All round pleased.

In what way was your SD slot defective? I'm having some issues with mine, just wondering what symptoms you had?

sorry for delay in reply. It was very difficult to insert micro SD . When it was inserted it was hit and miss if it was recognised. The mini USB (charge) cable was also iffy. It seemed like the main board was misaligned from the port holes in the case.

Anybody found a decent case yet.

 

[Heloooo]

Hi , I am also trying to find a case but can't find any gel cases for it.
