Refurbished Nexus 7 (2013) now available at a steal

A set of refurbished 2nd generation Nexus 7 tablets are now available at the tempting price of $129.99 from online retailer Woot! The factory reconditioned devices come with a limit of 3 per customer, which means you can even buy some presents for the family.

Google released the Nexus 7 last year in collaboration with Asus. The tablet packs a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, a 7-inch display with a 1200x1920 resolution covered with Gorilla Glass, and a 5MP camera on the back. It also comes equipped with a front-facing camera capable of 720p video.

If you are in the market for a budget tablet, this offer is a great opportunity. The Nexus series was designed to offer a pure Android experience. To that end, Google ships the latest Android releases immediately for devices in the series. Typically, manufacturers not affiliated with Nexus take time in adapting the latest Android software for their devices, and often those older than the last iteration don't get an update. The Nexus brand is Google's own effort to battle these trends by partnering with manufacturers to offer devices that will get the latest updates on shipping day. With Android L around the corner, this deal offers a capable tablet that will get the update immediately at a price that won't drill a hole in your pocket.The saving represents a 43% discount on the $229 price on the Google Play store. Get them while they are hot!
