ASUS Google Nexus 7 Android Jellybean 4.1 7" Tablet Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

The video opens with Linus presenting an unboxing and first-look at the ASUS Google Nexus 7, a 7-inch tablet that generated significant internet excitement. He highlights the device’s form factor, labeling the 7-inch diagonal and describing the Tegra 3 quad-core processor with a low-power core, along with available 8 GB and 16 GB storage options. Linus walks through the Jelly Bean Android 4.1 software, Google apps integration, and Chrome as the default browser, noting the removal of Flash support and the shift to a more streamlined YouTube and Google app ecosystem. He points out hardware specifics such as the 1.2 MP front camera, a rubberized back for grip, USB on the go capability, and the curious choice of a non-removable, non-expandable storage setup. The review emphasizes the 1280x800 IPS display and its high pixel density, praising the screen clarity and viewing angles, and he compares it favorably against other tablets like the iPad 2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 in terms of responsiveness and overall fluidity. The packaging is modest, including a warranty card, quick-start guide, charging cable, and charger, with Linus noting the excellent value proposition given the Tegra 3 performance at the price point. He then demos performance through browser and app interactions, particularly highlighting Chrome-YouTube integration that launches smoothly within the YouTube app for a seamless viewing experience, and demonstrates how the device handles gaming graphics, video playback, and general navigation. Concluding, Linus reiterates his positive impression, calling the Nexus 7 a strong Tegra 3 tablet at a compelling price, and teases a deeper rundown in a future NCIX.com review while inviting viewers to subscribe for more unboxings and tech coverage.
