Asus - Nexus 7 vs ME301T

kevozz

I'm trying to decide between the new Nexus 7 and an Asus ME301T (10" screen). I use an older Nexus 7 on a regular basis that i borrow, but leaning toward a larger screen. I like the Nexus, but any opinions on the Asus?

I can't comment on the Nexus but I have an older Asus tablet that my wife uses occasionally. I like it for what it does. My biggest complaint is the shape of the back which I find makes it less comfortable to hold. It has an odd tapered edge so holding it when reading doesnt feel natural to me.

I have a 10 inch iPad which I prefer for PDF reading and Kindle technical books but find myself wishing I had a smaller tablet for just reading or casual web browsing. I probably should just get a regular Kindle device lol.

Love my new Nexus 7 (also by Asus). The 1080p screen on a 7" tablet is just gorgeous. I find I'm using it way more than my 10" tablet...just feels great.

I have the first Nexus 7 and love it. There's also a Nexus 10 if you want the larger screen.

Thanks for the input. Office Max has a 20% off coupon/bag going on right now that's good on tablets. Also tax free on Fri and Sat in GA. Probably going to pick up a Nexus 7.

That 10" tablet has a resolution of 1280x800 while the Nexus 7 has a resolution of 1920x1200. I be inclined to wait until the Nexus 10 gets updated before going with the 10" tablet. But I see you are going with the Nexus 7 in any case so it doesn't matter...
