Just received mine today. So far, I am really liking it. Will probably be getting the 32gb version next month though. I am amazed at how fast and smooth this is.

Ordered mine the afternoon of the 29th off Nvidia's site; it shipped Thursday evening and I got it Friday morning just before noon. Really nice so far, and battery life seems to be matching my old 1st Gen Nexus 7 for casual use, and I'm not getting the huge off the cliff battery drop when playing something intense like I did with the Galaxy note 8. Only issue I'm finding so far is that the wireless performance is flaky, which others on the nvidia boards have reported as well; hopefully something a software patch can fix. Otherwise a pretty fine tablet.

I too own an XBOX 360 and am a average to above average gamer. I think if your looking for something that will handle both worlds, being used as a tablet and also a gaming device then you can't go wrong here.

If you do decide to take the plunge please come back after you have spent a little time with it and share your feedback :)

Honestly I can't see my self playing games on it really. Maybe MTG but no full fps games or anything maybe just maybe Gta but again doubtful. I was going to get nexus 7 but this one seems like it might win

Don't forget if you have a computer with a supporting GE Force card the tablet has options to take advantage of this like streaming games and much more.

But as you said it does make quite the argument to consider as a day to day tablet ;)

This thing is sold out everywhere again. Either they pulled stock because of all the issues, sold out, or just didn't make enough.

Just got my replacement in and am looking to sell it! Didn't open the box yet, brand new. I didn't use it enough unfortunately to justify keeping it. Anybody know anyone who would be interested? Paid around $450 CAD so am looking for $350.

-2 GB of ram
-8" Full HD LCD
-16 GB + microSD
-5 MP auto focus HDR front and user facing cameras

ADDENDUM - Got it & have had it for a few weeks now. So far so good (Though games & some apps don't allow the task bar to come up when in full screen but that's more of an issue of app & game development than it is with the tablet itself)
