Title: How much do you use your Nexus 7 on a typical day?
Post by: Babyfacemagee on August 25, 2012, 09:49:22 PM
How much do you use your Nexus 7 on a typical day? Only a few minutes? 1 hour? 2 or 3? 4 or more?  Let us know in the comments not only how much you use it but on what days in particular and for what purpose. (weekends, commute to work, web surfing at night etc)

I use it everyday to quickly check email as I am one of the last people on earth without a smart phone.  I use it to surf the web/read books/listen to music/play games/watch movies while on a stationary bike a couple of times a week.  I use it at work for books/games/music if there is down time.   I use it every Sunday to check all the sales that normally come with the Sunday paper (weekly ads app is great!).  I'm starting to use Evernote everyday to make a list every time something pops in my head.  Of course it is great for late night reading but that varies based on interest. I only use it for watching movies/tv when it is not feasible to watch on laptop or regular tv (i.e. at appointments, laundromat,  etc.). 

In any event, whether I use it a little or a lot on any given day, I'm glad I have it and it was worth the purchase price.  ;D

>4 hours easily.  I'm retired, with lots of spare time, and it's a new toy.

I participate in astronomy, birding, hypermiling, and Android forums.  I surf the web.  I read ebooks.  I'm learning Linux with a terminal emulator on my N7.

I usually use it 3-4 hours a day.  I read a lot and open the N7 when I have a few spare minutes.  I also d/l TWIT TV shows and watch them.  I don't do to many games, but my grandson usually steals the machine for an hour or so a day.  I carry the N7 almost everywhere I go.

1-2 hours on a "typical" day.

Sometimes I'll use it more, but seldom over 3 hours a day.  I still use my Kindle a lot for reading, and my Sansa Clip, PC or Stereo for music much of the time.  I do use the Nexus for that and much more when I'm out and about.

After (finally) successfully getting Flash on Edi (without rooting her) she's officially replaced Bluebell, my home laptop.

As a self-confessed gadget addict I was on my laptop all day everyday, but after purchasing Edi off Kogan I've found myself picking up my Eee Pc less and less until now it sits in a sad neglected corner of my desk while my sexy new N7 is never out of my hands.

...

... Now I feel kinda bad... :(

more than 4 hours, i use it to check email, text(kik & textplus) surf the web, watch movies in streaminig, play games. i'm having few issues with mp4 and mp3, but i'll fix that after going to read the audio/video zone. When the problem will be solved i'll probably use it TOO much. 8) ;D

I use mine everyday.   I read a book in bed several nights a week.  I play a game or web surf in the evening.  On Sundays I use it to take sermon notes. 
I use it at work to jot down notes.   When I go out of town on a service trip,  it is used to keep track of what I did,  my hours and expenses.
I keep important documents on it so that I have access to them for reference even without my PC.
It's even been used to remotely access my Linux computer at home when I am at work or out of town. The tablet size makes this much easier than on my Droid.

It depends.  I got this tablet to be portable, so if I'm out and about I take it with me.  I work from home, though, so there are days I don't leave the house.  I try to use it more at home, but I really prefer my iPad3 for "power use".

I use mine daily for work writing, calendar and email, and for home reading, writing Internet, email etc. There's no end to it. Had a play last night and in a couple of hours from my nexus I downloaded a cms and ftp app, installed the cms on my Web server and wrote a basic site which can now be edited on the go from my phone or nexus. Www. Jbrittain co.uk gotta love the nexus
