Consumer Reports has a long history of 'making or breaking' products throughout its history. One bad review or serious flaw and a negative report or 'warning' from the company can cripple a device's sales to the tune of tens of millions of dollars or units. On the other hand, a glowing review or a 'top pick' can sway millions of readers to choose one product over a crowded field.
Well we're happy to say that Consumer Reports just finished their first look at the Nexus 7 and in the words of Paul Reynolds "the Nexus 7 is a better device than both (the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet) in almost every way". From the 20% lower weigh to the longer battery life to the improved screen readability under direct sunlight, Paul ticks off the superiority of the Nexus 7 point by point. In fact he even infers that the Nexus 7 is superior than much pricier tabs from Samsung and other manufacturers.
Ok, I know that us tech geeks are much more impressed by a positive review by "Mobile Tech Review" or "The Verge" but the reality is that the Nexus 7's prime audience outside of us early adopters is the every day consumer...and Consumer Reports is their bible. Are you a fan of Consumer Reports? Does having their blessing make it easier to plunk down that $200-$250 for the Nexus 7?
