It’s time for another FUN giveaway, and this one comes courtesy of our friends at Staples for a Google Nexus 7 Tablet (32GB)!! Staples also provided me with a Nexus 7 for the purposes of this review. After having reviewed the Nexus 7 for the past week and half, I am very impressed with it! There are certain features, in particular, that make the Nexus 7 a fantastic device for back-to-school.
If you are looking for a family-friendly tablet, this is a great feature. The kids can have their apps on their user profiles, and I can have my apps separate from theirs. You can create up to eight different user profiles with completely customized parental controls (more on this later).
I am truly impressed with the brightness and clarity of the high resolution display on the Nexus 7. I also found the responsiveness to the touch screen to be smooth and virtually instant.
Many of Google’s apps come pre-installed on the Nexus 7 (Chrome, YouTube, Gmail, Google Maps, Hangouts, etc.) The Google Play store gives access to MANY more — including games, Amazon’s Kindle app, NetFlix, Skitch, and Evernote.
I found the Nexus 7 to be easy to hold, even for little ones. Great for browsing the web with the pre-installed Chrome browser!
The Nexus features completely customized parental controls enabling parents to choose which apps are available for each child, as well as enabling or disabling the built-in camera and Chrome web browser, setting maturity filters, and more.
Good luck!!!
