MC2 Post 1657 The 2013 Nexus 7 Performance Preview








a Huge Speed Upgrade in Every Way

 

From:   http://arstechnica.com




Google finally announced its second seven-inch Android tablet, just a few weeks after forum users and random OfficeMax employees and Best Buy all beat them to the punch. Just because the tablet has been thoroughly leaked doesn't mean it looks like a bad device, though—its components aren't all cutting-edge, but the new Nexus 7 seems like it will bring a sizable performance bump for just $30 more than the $199 asking price of the original.



Overall, the new Nexus 7 moves performance ahead by a sizable margin, especially given that it costs only $30 more than last year's model, and it has come out only a year later. We'll be digging more into performance as well as other aspects of the tablet in our full review, which (fingers crossed!) should be going up some time next week.

We should've known this was coming after Google and Netflix informed us back at CES they were working on their AirPlay competitor, the DIAL wireless streaming protocol.

Today, with the revelation of the new Chromecast HDMI dongle to leverage DIAL and expand upon it, you'll be able to stream more content more easily to your home's biggest screen -- all for just 35 bucks. We got to check out the Chromecast at today's Google event, so join us, won't you, for our full impressions.
