Here comes the first discount ever on the brand new 1080p Nexus 7 tablet. Staples is currently running a $30 off any tablet promotion until this Sunday and they just got the new Nexus 7 in stock. Purchasers can grab a 16GB version for $199 or 32GB for $239 when coupon code 41178 is applied. The new Nexus 7 features a 7″ 1080p HD screen, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon™ S4 Pro processor, 2GB of RAM and built-in wireless charging.
Update (8/27) #2: Sold out again at Best Buy, but Amazon and Google Play are still accepting orders for future delivery.
Update: If Amazon shows sold out be sure to check Best Buy and Google Play for availability. Also, Google has ended the free Netflix promo due to ‘overwhelming demand.’
Amazon is now offering the Chromecast streaming media player for $35 with free shipping. This total can be up to $6 lower than ordering from the Google Play store when you take into account potential tax savings (at time of purchase) and shipping costs.
This device will wirelessly beam movies, music, web content and more from Android, iOS, Mac and PC devices to any HDTV via a WiFi connection. As of right now the Chromecast supports Google Play, YouTube, Netflix, and Chrome, but Google promises future support for more services. 9to5Google notes that in some respects it is even more versatile than an Apple TV, “Unlike Airplay, the Chromecast stick allows to original device to turn off or go to sleep. It functions as as a standalone streaming device, awaiting orders…”
Hugo Barra took the stage at this morning’s Google event to introduce the new Nexus 7 1080p. As you probably already know, the device has been significantly updated to be 50 grams lighter and 2mm thinner and yet boasts better specs all around. The updated 7″ tablet features front 1.2MP and rear 5MP cameras along…
9to5Google reviewed the Chromebook and found it to be perfect for light computing (web browsing, word processing, email, etc).
At $250, this is a no-brainer buy for many people. Just for Google’s bump in services alone, this is a compelling offer. Google gives you 100 GB of online space—something that normally costs $60 per year—free. It also hooks you up with 12 Gogo in-flight Internet vouchers that are worth around $10 each. That means (on data costs alone) the Chromebook breaks free just after two years of use. Plus, you get a very usable machine to ‘boot’.
So, who is this for? If you depend on your computer’s speed for your livelihood, this computer is going to be frustratingly slow. Get a faster machine like a high-end MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. However, if you want to have a backup machine or a secondary machine, the Samsung Chromebook makes a lot of sense for emergencies.
Amazon reviewers love it too, extending a 4 star rating from over 2,400 entries.
