Bottom line
With its blazing quad-core processor, solid build quality, high-resolution screen and stock Android Jelly Bean operating system, the only thing "budget" about the Google Nexus 7 (Est. $200) is its bottom line. Reviewers say it's one of the best tablets out there, regardless of its price.
Performance
More than what you pay for. The Nexus 7 sports a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor that speeds through tasks and proves incredibly responsive. Reviewers say the 1280-by-800-pixel screen looks bright, detailed and all-around amazing, and battery life is nothing short of superb.
Features
A mixed bag. Critics love the media-focused design of the Nexus 7's Android Jelly Bean operating system as well as its new software features, most notably the Google Now service. An NFC chip for mobile payments is also onboard. While experts are irked by port selection that's limited to a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a micro-USB port, early complaints about storage limitations have been addressed by Google, upping it to 16 GB. Some also dislike the lack of a rear camera. Finally, the vast majority of Android's apps are made for phones, not tablets, although reviewers say resolution issues are less noticeable on smaller 7-inch screens like the Nexus 7's.
The Google Nexus 7's powerful performance, unaltered operating system and rock-bottom price make it the very best bang for your buck, reviewers say. The base Nexus 7 is Wi-Fi only. A 32 GB, HSPA+ radio-equipped version (Est. $300) is available for those who want a cellular data connection, as is a Wi-Fi-only 32 GB model (Est. $260).
Ease of use
As good as an Android gets. While the Android operating system is slightly more complex -- and much more configurable -- than the iPad's (Est. $500 and up) iOS, reviewers say it's not too difficult to master. The Nexus 7 itself is highly responsive and suffers no glaring screen defects. Experts appreciate the 7-inch form factor for its easy portability.
