Google - Nexus 9 - 8.9" - 16GB - Lunar White

Gorgeous screen and fast, responsive tablet. gets os updates directly from google, so no waiting around for OEMs to get their act together. it handles everything i can throw at it in terms of apps, games etc. It does get a little hot sometimes though., Going from a LG G tab to the Nexus is quite an experience. The nexus handles all the work I can throw at it and does not get buggy or have any lag. The only thing that will be better than this tablet will be the next gen Nexus tablet.

I used to own an iPad 2, and when I decided it was time to upgrade my tablet my 3 choices were the nexus 9, Samsung tab s and the iPad air 2. I did a lot of research on all them and everyone said how perfect the iPad was but I was intrigued about the nexus 9. When I checked it out at best buy I loved lollipop and it dual front facing speakers. And if was much cheaper, so I decided to give it a shot. I've owned it for 4 months now and I haven't regretted it. It's the perfect size so you can hold it with one hand, it has a beautiful screen, with not too much color saturation. It's lightning fast, and the speakers are amazing! I saw complaints about the build quality but my model was fine, the software touch back didn't give in and no light bleed on mine. I actually like the soft touch it's comfortable in the hand when holding and not so slippery. And since lollipop has received some updates it's gotten better. The battery life is really good, even when playing heavy games it last at least 6-7 hours. And surfing the web on 4.3 aspect ratio has always been good on the iPad and I'm glad htcc did so with this nexus. Overall a great tablet that gets too much negative feedback.

The biggest draw to this tablet was the OS, no extra bloatware. Plenty of power for games, display is awesome for video, games and reading. Also feels good in hand and battery lasts very well. Sound is OK for a small device. Well built. If I could ask for anything it would be a lower price since it is Google branded made by (HTC)

This was my third nexus tablet, and fifth nexus device, so I was pretty sure I knew what to expect. For the most part, I was correct, but the screen is beautiful, and the speakers are GREAT. The processor... it doesn't seem to be really realized yet, to take advantage of the 64-bit architecture, but it's no slouch. Highly recommend the keyboard folio with the tablet, for the keyboard, and different viewing angles. I very much do NOT recommend the HTC - Cover for Nexus 9 Tablets (sku: 1387061), in fact actively discourage the purchase (but that's a different review). The tablet is great though, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice sized tablet and a nice price.

I upgraded from a 1st gen Nexus 7, wow what a difference! I am not a fan of the 4 3 ratio but everything else about this tablet is amazing. Very fast, bright crisp picture, and the HTC Boomsound speakers are fantastic as far as tablet speakers go.
