I managed to persuade the EMobile salesperson at Yodobashi Akihabara Tokyo to release to me the official ASUS Nexus 7 dock made by ASUS! From Yodobashi online website, release date is pegged at 11 December 2012, but he quietly picked stock from storage and slipped it into my already bulging shopping bag so that he won't get reprimanded if anyone funds out he broke street release date. tongue.gif

Pic to come later. Need to catch the NEX bullet train to the airport.

Guys I have a little dilemma here. My laptop battery just died and I am thinking of getting a new toy to replace my laptop. Now, I am deciding to get a tablet instead for easier portability.

However, what do you think in terms of usage for Google nexus 7? I mean of course it is not a laptop p but could it perform tasks close to what laptop can do? hmm.gif

Depends what tasks you talking about.

That fits length wise not width wise. Nexus 7 will be on landscape. Isn't that what you wanna watch your movie like? It uses the 3 contact points on the side of the Nexus 7 as charger and piping audio out.

Hmm..I usually use laptop for easy and light browsing. No games on laptop. And not to forget, my course work assignments.

Also sorry I didn't want to reply everyone cos it will make the reply freaking long doh.gif

you haven't stated what do you do with your laptop.  For me, i need to run some software which cannot be found on an Android tablet, so definitely no way to substitute it with a tablet.  But i use my laptop much less nowadays after getting tablet.  Checking email, watching videos, reading mags and books are much faster, convenient, easier and enjoyable on a 7" tablet.

The dock only works once your Nexus 7 is updated to 4.2.

I'm in the process of recording the unboxing for YouTube upload.

I dunno what your assignments/course work involves, but if there is loads of typing to be done, or tables/graphs/spreadsheets to be generated, then nothing beats a laptop/desktop. The word or spreadsheet apps on tablets are quite competent nowadays, but doing proper formatting on a long document could still be a pain. They are more suited for creating short documents or light editing of long documents.

Plus typing long documents on a touchscreen will still not be as good as doing it on a proper laptop/desktop keyboard. Of course, you could invest in a portable keyboard for your tablet, but bear in mind, portable keyboards are of course smaller, have shorter key travel, and will not be as comfortable as laptop/desktop keyboards. And it will eat into your tablet battery.

The smaller screen of the tablet will also not make it as ideal to type or edit long documents. Can you imagine the scrolling back and forth that you have to do?!

I use my tablet for work as well, but mainly to quickly refer to documents that I have transferred over, to check documents for errors and to do light editing. I also create new documents for work, but only for documents 2 to 3 pages long, max. Formatting docs like borders, justification, para spacing, tab spacing, etc are more limited on tablet apps compared to full blown PC programs. So I do what I can on the tablet and thereafter I transfer the doc back to a PC and fine tune the formatting. So, I still can't fully get rid of my laptop/desktop. And have you thought about what if you need to print something?

On top of all that, I use my tablet to keep track of my to-do lists and my appointments and make lots of notes. A lot like how you would use a paper diary.

So to answer your question, no you shouldn't entirely replace your laptop with a tablet if you want to get "real" or heavy work done. The tablet should be more of a companion to your laptop. A tablet's advantages for work would be its portability and the fact it is "instant -on". If you want to have quick access to your work to refer some stuff or to do light work/editing, then you just whip out your tablet. For heavier work, you would then whip out your laptop. If there are budget constraints, and you can't afford both, stick to the laptop. Can't go wrong. A tablet is not a "must have", but a laptop is. Sorry for my long winded reply.
