**The Nexus 7: A Tablet Worth Considering**

As I unboxed the Nexus 7, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The device was encased in a sleek and sturdy case, complete with a USB charging cable that had fallen out of the bag. I carefully pulled it out and examined it, noting its compact size and lightweight design. "This is probably the power adapter," I thought to myself, "which just fell out of the bag but pretty cool."

The power brick was indeed an interesting part of the package, with a small USB port that seemed almost too big for its own good. However, as I turned it over in my hands, I noticed a small rubberized grip on one side, which felt surprisingly cool to the touch. The device itself was surprisingly solid and well-built, considering its relatively affordable price tag of $200.

As I continued to explore the Nexus 7, I found myself drawn to its beautiful form factor. The device's dimensions were not significantly larger than those of my trusty iPad, but it had a more compact and portable feel that made me eager to take it on the go. I also noticed that it had a camera, although I wasn't entirely sure what resolution it was capable of – "better than the Kim the F uh file," I thought to myself, "and SS of feel ooh all right up here we do have a camera which I believe is 1 point something megapixels."

The device also featured a rubberized grip on the bottom, which seemed designed to provide a secure hold. This was reinforced by a small air vent or speaker on one side, although I wasn't entirely sure what its purpose was – "I think it's for heat or it could be for both," I mused, as I turned the device over in my hands. The power button was located on the top of the device, surrounded by a sleek and modern design.

As I continued to examine the Nexus 7, I noticed several other features that caught my eye. There was a USB connection, along with a standard 3.5mm audio jack – "that's it," I thought to myself, except for one small piece of plastic that could be removed. But what was this mysterious piece, and what did it do? I tentatively reached out to touch it, hoping to uncover its secrets.

Fortunately, the device revealed itself to be a simple metal contact point – likely intended to be used with a case or other accessory. With my questions answered, I felt ready to put the Nexus 7 through its paces and see just what it could do. "Before this video goes," I thought to myself, "let me do a first boot on Google – excuse the ceiling fan in the background now I'm not going to do the setup process on camera simply because everything is upside down for me right now..."

And with that, I pressed play and watched as the Nexus 7 sprang to life. The device's screen flickered into view, displaying a beautiful animation of the Google logo – "Jelly Bean," I remembered from my recent visit to the Google IO conference, where Android had been showcased in all its fluid, mature glory."I'm going to do more videos on this very soon and once this boots up I'll do a quick size comparison and then I'll let you guys go."

**A Fair Comparison: Nexus 7 vs. iPad**

Once the Nexus 7 was online, I decided it was time to pit it against its longtime rival – my trusty iPad. The two devices were placed side by side on a table, and at first glance, they seemed almost identical. However, as I looked closer, I noticed that the Nexus 7 had a slightly more compact design, with a smaller screen that still managed to pack in a surprising amount of functionality.

As I held the two devices up for comparison, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the Nexus 7's sleek and modern design. The iPad, while certainly more established in the market, seemed almost... old-fashioned compared to its Android counterpart. "I mean look – I can hold it with one hand that alone is a huge deal especially if you're like laying in bed like I do and you like to go on Twitter and you don't have your iPhone next to you in case it's charging or whatever but getting to the last point of this video..."

**The Experiment: A Week with the Nexus 7**

And so, my experiment began. For the next week, I vowed to use the Nexus 7 as my primary tablet of choice, and see just how it would hold up against my usual devices. As a Mac user, I have to admit that I'm slightly biased towards Apple – their products are always so sleek and refined, and their design sense is simply unparalleled. But Android has made some significant strides in recent years, and the Nexus 7 was an intriguing device to test out.

As I settled in for my week-long experiment, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. Would the Nexus 7 prove itself to be a worthy replacement for my iPad? And would it meet my needs as a daily driver – or would it ultimately fall short? Only time would tell, but one thing was certain: I was eager to find out.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys David DeFranco here from NE franah hosting.com with my unboxing of the Asus Google Nexus 7 I say both because this is technically an Asus tablet but the software is obviously Google hence the whole Android experience which I'm actually really really excited about this is running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which should be awesome and believe me that's a lot coming from me especially considering a lot of people think I'm an apple Fanboy which I don't agree with but this is a pure Google Experience none of that crappy Kindle Fire skin no Samsung skin nothing this is pure Google and nothing more so that's why I'm so excited about this cuz cuz I got to be honest I hated the Kindle Fire excuse my language but it was a piece of I hated the Kindle Fire the only thing I liked about it was the 7-in form factor which I actually found more comfortable than holding the iPad which I will do a size comparison okay enough talking let's try to get this out I've seen so many people struggle with this as if it's the end of the world I don't see any tape I mean this is really really tight seriously holy I don't understand why Google would even do this all right what the I guess just pry it open then pull it but okay hold on hold on I got to grab I got to grab I don't want to break the box cuz knowing me this thing will be on eBay in like a month seriously what were they smoking when they did this clearly not the Apple crack I know that for sure come on you know what I'm GNA say screw it there you go and all the patience for that Google I love you guys I love your services and products but come on what were you thinking now I have to rip up your beautiful packaging okay here we go Nexus 7 well just Nexus brand now this is where the tape

of my shirt just to make the presentation look better and cuz it is a glass table it's very smudgy I got to clean it all right oh my God you know I heard this unboxing experience was terrible I don't think it was going to be this bad here it comes release yes that wasn't that bad it was just suctioned all right let's put that aside oo oh my God I'm so excited about that form factor guys I'm actually a really really big fan of 7in tablets again that is the only thing I liked about the kill fire was the form factor we have a little booklet warranty booklet I'm obviously never even going to open that a USB charging cable which just fell out of the bag but pretty cool and this is probably the power adapter really come on jeez little power brick which is actually kind of cool looking got a little USB right there with the Asus branding right there okay here is the Nexus 7 guys beautiful form factor actually feels pretty amazing it's pretty solid surprisingly for a $200 tablet I should say a lot better than the Kim the F uh fire yeah the file and SS of feel ooh all right up here we do have a camera which I believe is 1 point something megapixels better than the iPad I know that I don't think it's VGA I could be wrong but I don't think it's VGA back here we do have a rubberized grip which actually feels pretty damn awesome uh down here is probably actually looks like a speaker I was going to say an air vent for heat or it could be for both because I'm not sure how warm this thing gets but on the side here we do have the power button just like the um Samsung Galaxy S3 I'm pretty sure shout out to my friend Dan for that that's the only reason I know that and here is the volume rocker on the bottom we do have a USB connection as well as your standard 3 1 12 mm audio jack and I think that's it well there's a little bit of plastic you can take off here I think let me see and very gently nice oh and over here looks like we have metal contacts of some kind you going to focus there you go that might be for some kind of case I'm not really short but I guess we'll find out but you know what before this video goes let me do a first boot Google excuse the ceiling fan in the background now I'm not going to do the setup process on camera simply because everything is upside down for me right now but I can promise you I will be doing more videos on this very soon and once this boots up I'll do a quick size comparison and then I'll let you guys go there's a Nexus logo doing a little animation actually pretty cool welcome thank you it's actually a really good display I think it's 1280 by 800 I'm not positive but anyway setting that aside let's take the iPhone 4S right here put it next to it yes I know phone tablet two totally different devices however not totally different in size check that out that's not that different I mean it is a significant difference in size but in terms of like overall visual appearances doesn't look that different any more fair comparison would be the iPad versus The Nexus 7 wow look at me and all those smudges putting it on top pretty similar but a big enough difference to notice again guys I cannot stress how awesome a 7in form factor is versus the iPad I mean look I can hold it with one hand that alone is a huge deal especially if you're like laying in bed like I do and you like to go on Twitter and you and and you don't have your iPhone next to you in case it's charging or whatever but getting to the last point of this video I know I talk a lot but you know me let me shut down my iPad because I do have a minor announcement and a experiment that is slide to power off I am purposely going to be setting aside my iPad for exactly one week and only using the Nexus 7 as my primary tablet of choice for one week so that's a pretty long time until terms of technology and overall usage I mean yes I use my Mac Pro for just about everything in my life and my iPhone but a tablet does have a good place in my daily usage um especially in terms of using tweetbot and Safari uh but now I can use the Nexus 7 in place of the iPad the point of that little blur I'm trying to make is it should be very interesting because I won't lie I'm slightly biased for Apple their awesome design uh and their Simplicity of product design and overall usage so this should be a great experience but I got to say I was really really impressed with Jelly Bean during the Google IO conference and how fluid everything looked and Android just in my eyes now looks a lot more mature than it was a year ago and that's saying a lot and now this is the point where I let you guys go thank you so much for watching what are your thoughts on the Nexus 7 just comment below and hopefully we going to get a you know friendly debate going of Android vers iOS vers Windows phone or whatever ever they call it now and maybe even Blackberry who am I kidding nobody really uses Blackberry sorry I'm just saying all right I'm done time to play
