Similarly, we haven t seen Asus release an Android-based Transformer Pad since 2013. Remember when everyone thought the tablet was going to replace the laptop? So far they ve failed to live up to that expectation. I d like to…

The electronics company that is known for televisions and record players, has introduced an all new tablet that has perhaps the biggest screen I ve ever seen.. for a tablet.

And that is just as well, because the word on the street is that the next smaller Nexus tablet will be a Nexus 8 made by HTC, and that could be curtains for the Asus-built Nexus 7. That would be a travesty, and we retain hopes that the 2013 Nexus 7 will get a little refresh for 2014. In the mean time we ve taken the time to refresh our Nexus 7 review. The original…
