The 16GB models of the iPad Air 2 and Galaxy Tab S 10.5 will be the same price as the 16GB model of the Nexus 9. For consumers who will use their tablet mainly as a consumption device (movies, reading, web browsing), they will choose the Apple or Samsung product.

Google released the Nexus 9 in early November, right in line with the holiday shopping season. As with that release date, the N9 places itself as a potential Christmas gift. However up to now, there have not been any advertisements by retailers for a discount on Black Friday. That can become an...

The biggest concern for me is with the lack of quality control with the first production run. HTC has always been good with their build quality, but the Nexus 9 is all over the place. At the moment, purchasing one appears to be a shot in the dark with high odds for a RMA compared to the average...

Re: Best Buy In-Store? Did anyone's local Best Buy actually have the Nexus 9 on display? I want to physically touch the thing so take stock of all the various hardware complaints before I buy.

Re: Best Buy $100 trade in credit You can trade in your tablet and decide that the Nexus 9 isn't for you. You can use the gift card for anything you want. It's just a standard Best-Buy gift card.

Definitely going to keep watching this thread as reading is a big part of why I'm very excited about the Nexus 9's 4:3 aspect ratio.

Re: Best Buy $100 trade in credit They give you a $50 gift card for your old tablet as long as it turns on and does not have water damage or a cracked screen. In addition to the $50 gift card for your old device, you get a coupon for $50 off the price of the Nexus 9. You can trade up to two...

I'm awaiting the Black Friday ads. I'm anticipating Best Buy will have about a $50 discount on the Nexus 9 and will not be a must-have line-up item. The iPad Air had that discount in 2013 when it was released on Nov. 1st, 2013. $429.99 for the 32GB - $145 in Best Buy Gift Cards from trade-in...

Does anyone think the new Nexus 9 may signal to other high-end tablet makers that the 4:3 aspect ratio is the way to go? I think there are two possibilities with the idea of Google and HTC being vanguards with a 4:3 Android tablet. Yes, depending how well the Nexus 9 is recieved in the...
