Guys before you take a decision on it, just take a look on its cons to:

Nexus 7 Cons

Limited Memory. The biggest negative is by far the fact that Google decided not to include a memory card slot on the Nexus 7. Worse, according to early reports you cannot even connect a card or external drive with a USB cable, despite the fact connecting a keyboard and mouse works just fine.

No HDMI or MHL. Sadly, there’s no way to connect the Nexus 7 to a TV to watch movies or play games. Even cheap $89 Android tablets like the IdolPad Plus can do that so it’s a pretty big oversight.

The Bezel. Some reviewers like the minimalistic design, but most agree that there’s really nothing special about it. It’s rather plain and ordinary. Some complain the top and bottom bezels are a little too thick, making the tablet needlessly long. Looking at the pictures, I would have to agree.

Lack of Apps. There’s no shortage of apps available in the Android Market with over 600,000, but there is a distinct lack of apps that were designed for use on tablets with high-end hardware. There aren’t any games that can push the limit and really show off the Tegra 3 processor.

Content Consumption Oriented. Given the lack of ports and memory expansion, the Google Nexus 7 is designed to be a content consuming device much more so than a content creating device. The Nexus 7 is centrally designed for people to buy things from the Google Play store.

Content Price. Most reviewers that did their homework point out the fact that content selection is very similar among Amazon, Apple, and Google, but Amazon’s prices are often lower. Then most reviewers neglect to mention that pretty much all of Amazon’s content is available on the Nexus 7 too, except instant videos and prime ebooks.

No Landscape Mode for Homescreen. Hopefully Google changes this once the device is actually released because being forced to use portrait mode for the homescreen is super lame, especially when tablets with 16:10 ratio screens just seem more natural to hold in landscape mode for most tasks.

so, I would just you better alternatives like ipad-mini, ipad-2, galaxy tab-2, kindle fire!
