Should I wait for a price drop ?

[synchronous]

I own a first generation nexus 7 and have been trying to find a replacement. This tablet has excellent specs plus micro SD which is perfect. I just think that $350 is too steep of a price. Do you think the price will drop before the holiday ? Will it ever be available on amazon ?

It might drop. Don't know though. We're only two weeks from Black Friday as it is. I would think any price drops that were going to occur are already being broadcast so people can "plan" for it in their upcoming shopping.

The fact that it was not on Best Buy's list of BF deals is telling in my book.

As for replacing the 2012 N7. I too replaced a 2012 N7 and all I can say is that this thing is even more of an upgrade than I thought it would be.

I don't know... at first I thought the price was a little steep, but after having it for a week now, I wish I would have gotten it sooner. I almost thought the Infinity Pad that I had was a waste of money because I barely used it because of the horrible lag, but I use my G Pad every single day. I think value is relative, if you make use of it everyday, I think this tablet is well worth the $350. It would have been nice for it to be more in the range of the Tab 3 8.0, but the specs on the G Pad are better. I'm starting to think that in the U.S. at least, Best Buy may have some sort of exclusivity period because they are the only store that has it.

If it was offered in more places I would think the price would drop. I think it will eventually... but it may be a few months

Newegg is offering 10% off on ALL tablets through Sunday. BB will match. I bought mine 10 days ago and my store said they will reimburse me the same $35 plus tax. And newegg is free ship and no tax.

Well, I can assure you it's a great tablet. Its performance is just stellar and blows away the competition while its so thin and light you'll feel as if you're just holding a screen. Very nice indeed.

Just checked into BB matching price, corp told me they will not due to using a cupon code.

Wait for a price drop, it really isn't any better than the Nexus 7, I had one the day the store carried them and returned it the next day , now the Nexus 7 has 4.4 its a no brainer, don't get me wrong the build quality is great and the screen size is perfect, but its not worth the extra money over the 32gb N7

To some. 4.4 is not a big deal at all. I'd be fine with 4.0

Are the Nexus 7 touchscreen performance issues resolved with 4.4? That is what really soiled the deal for me...and I tried a total of 5 devices, all with the same touchscreen non-responsiveness.

If LG would have produced the same product and the same experience with something lower than 4.2.2, I don't think I would have cared either. I think LG has taken full advantage of their Nexus experiences though. Between my G2 and G Pad, this is the best technology experience that I've ever had and I'm a techie software engineer.

Amen to that. LG is doing a great job these days.

Staples is offering $50 off samsung tab 3 8.0 and notes and other tabs and bb willmatch, bb also will match the newegg 10 percent. Bb matches ANY low price.

I have 4.4 on my 2012 N7, I much prefer the 8" screen over the newer rev.

But then, I've never gotten a stiffy over having the most current rev of software.

why would anyone try and price match at BB when you could order from Newegg with free shipping and no tax?

Sometimes right now, right this very moment is better than tomorrow or the next day.
