So /g/,

The second gen Nexus 7 launches in like 5 days. Are you going to be picking one up?

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_7_32GB?id=nexus_7_32gb_2013&hl=en

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESua4zGyo2Y

Video/specs TL;DR
>Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro @ 1.5GHz CPU is 80% more powerful than the previous model

>4x more powerful GPU

>7.02" 1920x1200 HD display (323 ppi), highest on the market at this point

>Smaller, lighter, and longer battery life than previous model

>Cheap as fuck save for the 4G version (16GB $230, 32GB $270, 32GB+4G $350)

Still no SD card or expandable memory though.

Talking to a friend of mine that owns the first one he said that rooting it will let you half ass play 10bit 720p .mkv animu releases on MX Player so I'd guess this one would run them really well and maybe even up to 1080p.

That's the reason I'm getting one. For all my weeb shit. Anime, manga, VNs, ect. in a comfortable little device.
>>
What's the point of a tablet again?
>>
>>35539634
media consumption. it's a pretty big market.
>>
>>35539634
More powerful than a phone, way more portable than a laptop.

Videos, books, ect.
>>
No opinions on this?
>>
Is it gonna have a huge bezel? If it's like the pic on OP then it's ok I guess

stop with that, it's etc not ect
>>
>>35539605 (OP)
>1920x1200
Gonna be great for manga, just hope it can actually handle 10bit.
>>
If it can play muh 1080p 10 bit chinese cartoons, why the hell not?
>>
Probably not unless I break my 16GB. My N7 still doesn't even have a scratch on it after a year of use and does everything I want it to. The little things I wouldn't mind having like a decent rear camera, HDMI out etc my phone does. So I'm in no rush.
>>
>>35539955
because you don't need to watch them away from home

I'd love this thing to use while curled up in some blankets on my bed or the couch.

I can watch them on muh comfy couch with comfy dt 770s all nice and bundled up in a blanket. Yuno would approve

Second gen, still only 32gb of storage.

it's not that great. it's pretty decent for manga, but for watching shows it's better to even use a laptop instead.

Can't decide between a nexus10 and n7.2 .
Let's say I'll mainly use it to read books, which is a better option?
n7.2= 229$
n10.1= 400$
Is 170 shekels really worth it?

got some bad news for you weaboos, the Tegra 3 was the chip that enabled primitive 10bit video, but they're using the S4 this time (almost if not exactly the same as the N4 one), and i've tested 10bit shit on the N4 and it doesn't work.

My folder is kind of a mess and they've just happened to be the first appropriate images. Sorry Anon.
>>
>>35540076
you should get an ebook
>>
>>35540076
Well if you're just reading books the 7 is probably fine. You could even get other cheaper eReaders if it's just books you're looking to read on your tablet.

It would be the perfect device if it had capacitive buttons. The space below the screen is wasted.

Well, txtbooks mostly and technical /lit/, so whatever pdf I manage to steal ruthlessly and the rest from the safaribooks.
The new screen with higher resolution got me thinking is all

that's a stupid claim. i could make a display of the size of four football fields where each one is a single pixel and claim the highest resolution.
>>
>>35540166
Oh, So that's like saying this laptop has THE FASTEST PROCESSOR EVER when one half the size is faster. Fuck off
>>35540169
Also fuck off

That's like if apple said we have the highest resolution 21.7" scree EVER! when a 14" is already higher.
This isn't ANYTHING special
>>
>>35540215
The logo says 7^2, which means that you multiply the number by itself, which means 7 times 7, which equals 51. It's a stupid logo

Nexus Media Importer
>>
>>35540378
I think he's just gonna leave after realizing the mistake he has made
>>
Are there any essential apps that you people that own one use often?
>>
>>35540218
Are you fucking thick? They're talking about PPI and not resolution, so getting the same PPI with 4 football fields would be what your shitty analogy should be about.
>>
I am definitely planning to purchase this for media consumption on the go. Problem is that shitty internal storage that i can't expand with sd cards.

So the problem is that I want a shit load of content and the first thing I could think of were like micro thumbdrives but those would get fairly confusing as to what content is on them.
Next I thought that a wireless drive would be the fix to all my problems but I'm not hearing good things about 1080p playback. Also any high quality cases for the nexus7 similar to the ipad's magnet one so I can put it in landscape mode and watch a movie?
>>
So heres a question, will the old cases for original N7s be able to be used on the new moldes?
>>
>>35540702
Not likely without modding them. I think its physically a different size however slight and the old one doesn't have a rear camera etc

What about in terms of browser speed?
Firefox is hella slow and laggy as fuck on my N7, but I primarily use it cause I had to manually put flash on it. Also without the adobe flash, it was still hiccuping pretty bad with lag.
>>
>>35540803
>hella slow and laggy as fuck on my N7
How come, sure as hell isn't on mine
>>
>>35540529
And a screen the size of 4 football fields with a 2x2 resolution would still have the highest pixel density for a screen that big.
>>
>>35540822
well really, it usually has some lag in general. I have the 8 gig model, and theres always some noticeable pause between switching apps.

This or nook HD+ /g/?

>>35541298
What are you going to be doing with it?
>>
>>35539629

>so I'd guess this one would run them really well and maybe even up to 1080p.

Why gamble your money on such limited evidence? Wait until release and check XDA. People are always asking if <device name> plays 10bit videos seamlessly.
>>
If Ireland gets it in 5 days too, yes. Would make a decent emulator and ereader for my holidays soon
>>
>>35542469
I think it's NA first then slowly other places
>>
It's actually available today at Best Buy. Release date got moved up.
>>
No, tablets are toys.
>>
>>35540087
that's a shame then, hope the new atom+android one can do it
>>
>>35539629

just get the nook hd+ for your manga/vn

bigger screen equals better manga reading experience and you can just use splashtop to play your 10-butt and VNs
>>
>>35540223
They're just saying it has highest res on a 7" tablet right now, not objectively anon

so it is special, because it is a bigger screen, and therefore a different class than the one

do you compare desktops to ultrabooks too?
>>
>>35540863
try changing the animation speed to 0 or .5x in developer settings
>>
>>35539605 (OP)

The old Nexus 7 looks better, with the aluminium frame

>>35540087
>>35544474

Apparently 10bit has been reported to run quite well on the S3 and S4 using the nightly of MXPlayer.

But yeah, ATOM looks promising,
