The Nexus 9 Will You Make the Switch?

<< < (2/2)

martyh:
The specs on the N9 are intriguing, to be sure -- but at $479 (plus 8.75% tax) plus a case and screen protector, we're now talking around $550 total, at a minimum. I'd love the speed and resolution, but I'm not ready to pay that price, considering that I'm actually using my 2012 N7 less now than I had months earlier.

Which brings me to a follow-up question: What are your thoughts on picking up a new 2013 N7 to replace the older 2012 N7? My old N7 is pretty much stripped down (no launcher app, no icon packs, no widgets, etc.) and even after 4.4.4 and a system reset it's still laggy as all hell. But it hung in there for two solid years. A new N7 will be getting the "L" update as well and it has more ram and storage (plus the 2 cameras) than the older N7.

@ martyh,  I find myself using my Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 10 less and less, giving way to my new LG G3, as my reach for device even in a sit on the couch situation. My much loved Nexus devices, are simply losing ground, to the speed and convenience of the G3, so with the Nexus 9 arriving with a premium sticker price, I am electing to stay with my current solid Nexus devices for the near future.

I won't be buying a Nexus 9, as the price is too high, even if it is a high-spec tablet.

Instead, I have just purchased a HUDL2 tablet from UK retailer, Tesco ( http://www.tesco.com/direct/hudl2-8-wi-fi-tablet/454-7907.prd).

It's an 8.3" screen, with 2Gb ram, an an Intel Atom Quad-Core processor running at 1.83Ghz. It only costs £129, but with vouchers, I got it for £55!

I use it every day, although I still use my Nexus 5.

Seems I'm going the opposite way to most people here.

If I want "big screen "  I still have my Lenovo Thinkpad  Tablet (still got yours SPrime ?) Heavy and slow in comparison but still gets the job done. 

Was looking at new larger screen,  faster processor phones (I have an s3) while holidaying in Malaysia recently but decided that the Nexus 7 does most  of my "heavy lifting ". My phone is pretty much just a phone these days.

7" Nexus is still perfect compromise between size,  weight and performance for me atm  :)

@ limbot yes, I retain my first loves, the HTC Flyer and the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, but honestly, they sit in my office desk drawer, replaced by my new loves, the Nexus 7,  2012 and 2013 and the Nexus 10 variant. Thanks for reminding me, as I type a response on my Nexus 10, that I could have done the same on my ThinkPad Tablet. Ironically, my new LG G3 is rapidly eclipsing my, non-sitting on the couch device of choice, for my reach to device, so I am balking, at the moment, on the Nexus 9. Also, thanks, for reminding me that my S3 was only replaced by the LG G3, because of my technology appetite, but I can always justify it with the slightly larger screen and faster processor. I am fast realizing, from personal use,  that tablets are becoming a convince or special use device, in our ever increasing mobile world and before I am blasted by our forum, I am not falling out of love with our Nexus tablet, I am simply realizing that it has relinquished ground to the larger screened phones in reach to usage.
