We've fondled our fair share of tablets since the iPad redefined the category back in 2010. While the Google Nexus 7 doesn't quite stack up to Apple's media darling – nor should it, considering the iPad sells for at least twice the price – it's most certainly the tablet we'd recommend for users who can't afford an iPad.
We likedHey, we're a sucker for free stuff, so the goodie basket Google includes with the purchase of a Nexus 7 is definitely worth another mention here. We also can't wait to see an army of Nexus 7 owners marching to local stores, where they'll whip out a seven-inch tablet to pay for goods using Google Wallet.

Like many recent Asus tablet products, the build quality is on par with Apple. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is exactly the right step for Google at this stage, focusing on enhancing the existing user experience – especially given the low penetration of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich – instead of throwing cool new features against the wall to see what sticks.
We dislikedAlthough the Nexus 7 has very good Wi-Fi and we were able to tether from a mobile hotspot with ease, we'd love to see a slightly more expensive model with 4G LTE, accompanied by sweet month-to-month data plans, in the near future. Android is still playing catch-up when it comes to tablet-friendly apps, but we're hopeful those kinks will start to get ironed out if and when consumers gravitate to the Nexus 7.
Our biggest lament is the muted contrast of the otherwise quite stellar IPS display; while it's not a total deal breaker, we're holding out hope that Google might push out a software update to bring the gamma levels in line with competing hardware, assuming it's not simply a glitch with our review unit.
VerdictPerhaps the best compliment we can pay to the Nexus 7 is that it makes us want an iPad mini. Not because Google's tablet is bad, because it isn't – we just think there's a lot of potential for something between an iPod touch and a 9.7-inch iPad, and the Nexus 7 finally validates that.
Yes, there will be plenty of average folks who can't afford to drop a few hundred dollars or pounds and up for some casual tablet fun, favoring the less expensive Nexus 7 over the iPad – but Apple has little to fear given their commanding market share over the tablet market.
That leaves the Kindle Fire with the most to fear from Google and Asus. Instant Video aside, Amazon has flat out been smoked in the low budget price range it pioneered, by a more appealing, capable device.
Like a bucket of water being used to douse the Kindle's flames, Google appears poised to reclaim any tablet ground lost since the introduction of Amazon's forked version of Android. It may not tread a lot of new ground, but the Nexus 7 is a solid performer and easily the best tablet a couple hundred bucks can buy.
