Can't decide whether you should get a Google Nexus 7 or an iPad? Well, maybe you should ask yourself first if you intend to tinker with your new toy.
iFixit, a website that's known for tearing down devices to reveal their inner workings and helping users do "home repairs", has gotten a hold of Google's latest addition to the growing number of Android powered tablets. The iFixit team has given the Google Nexus 7 an amazing repairability score of 7 out of 10 (a score of 10 means it's easiest to repair). In contrast, the iPad 3 has gotten a score of 2 out of 10 while the Kindle Fire received a slightly higher 8 out of 10.
As you may already be aware, the Google Nexus 7 brings with it 1 GB of RAM, a quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a gorgeous 7″ 1280×800 back-lit display, 1.2 megapixel front facing camera and comes in 8 or 16 GB variants. It will also be one of the first devices to run Android 4.1 aka Jelly Bean.
At the end of the day, we think both devices are awesome but we hope that this makes the decision of which tablet to get a little easier for you guys out there.
