Well, I just jumped in the lg gpad water. I hope it all works out. I know that the new samsung might have a better screen. But for the price its just not worth it.
Congrats! It's a great tablet. I have the Google play edition because I hate android skins, and like having the latest version all the time.
The 8.3 inch screen size is perfect. It's right in that sweet spot between the nexus 7 and the nexus 10. It's very thin and portable yet the s screen feels plenty large. I have a nexus 7 2012 and I hardly pick it up a anymore.
