Look for a cheaper smaller alternative to the popular iPad? Well Asus has you covered with the Nexus 7 tablet. Check out the review of the tablet after the jump.
The Nexus 7, built by Asus in close partnership with Google, is without a doubt the best 7-inch tablet currently available. And even better, at just $200 it’s among the most affordable tablets you can get. It packs in numerous features typically available only on higher-end devices, including a sharp 1280 x 800 display, and a fast quad-core processor. And given the fact that it’s the only tablet to run the latest version of Android (Jelly Bean), it’s easy to see why the Nexus 7 is far ahead of other budget tablets, such as the Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. But that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. The $200 model has just 8GB of storage, and lacks a microSD expansion slot (which you’ll probably need if you want to load up some movies). And Android’s tablet app ecosystem is still not nearly as robust as the iPad’s. But there’s no 7-inch iPad (at least not yet), nor is there another 7-inch Android tablet that offers so much for so little.
