Should I buy a Xoom?

[mguinta25]

So im considering buying a Xoom since now they are priced relatively cheap. My concerns are that reviews ive read dont really paint the tablet in a great light. My question is after rooting and installing jelley bean does the performance increase, and is it worth a buy for $250?

IMHO yes and no. The best thing about the Xoom is that it is a Google experience device. It is starting to show its age and you won't get the performance of a more recent tablet. The Xoom still has the best build quality I have ever seen. I dropped it on tile once and it just got a scratch. The tile cracked lol. If you don't mind the skinning and paying a little more get the note 10.1. If you want a damn quick 7" Google experience device get the nexus 7. If you want a quality built 10" tablet for a good price get the Xoom. Once again all IMHO.

Hi I've had a xoom from day one.

Jelly bean has improved it yet again.
Considering the price of new tablets, I only recommend it if you can get it for Less than 200 dols.

It's a bit heavy and thick but it's works a charm, great build quality and I just fling it on my back pack when I'm on the go, it's so tough.

I would say, if you can stretch your budget, then no. I Had a Xoom & thought is was pretty great with JB on it. Then I picked up a Transformer tf300t from ebay & realized how old & behind the Xoom is, even with JB. Plus, the TF300 already has JB, too. Sold my Xoom for $220, & bought my TF300 for $325. Well worth the extra money.

I recently picked up a Xoom less than a month ago and I ABSOLUTELY love it.
