None except the OP have this deal. This must be a store specific clearance.
Neither did the OP post any proof for this deal.
Mods allow such deals??
It goes 800° hot???

Got the goose!

Nice if national. Heated.

Cold.

Hot, Hot, Hot - have one of these 32GB models, it got the official update to Android 6 a couple of weeks ago. It runs blazingly fast on it and with the size and screen resolution it's still a contender. Doubt you could buy anything new that's noticeably better for anything like this price.

Chase them wild geese...

Incredible price for an excellent tablet, shame it's not available online, would replace the families tablets with these

Let the chase begin

Looks store specific, none in my 2 asdas

If you can get it fantastic. I snapped mine up from Waitrose last year for £99, since then I've had three updates and a recent upgrade to Marshmallow. How many tablets costing £79 run Marshmallow and get regular updates? None I'd say!

incredible tablet until it dies, which it will because they all do. absolutely disgusting support from Google and Asus to boot. check out nexus 7 stuck on Google boot logo

​even after updates?

None in Feltham store.

Or Hounslow

Looks like I'm sticking with 16GB at Argos deal.

​just put marshmallow on mine running like a dog, laggy as hell.

none in Brighton

None in Bradford anybody found any lol. Geese on

Looks like the entire stock went to Swansea

Pay £18 more and get it from argos, save on time and petrol money. Unless you are shopping in asda anyway, of course its worth a look then.

Cold, wild goose chase

None in Leyton.. how does this get so much heat for little success?

Don't even bother guys as just picked one up and 2012 model.

None in Cheltenham.

​ mine too

​I don't really update as I think it's unnecessary
I only use it for games like coc etc
other tasks I use the tab s and note 4

good deal

Argos is 2013 model but only 16GB, still a better deal though if the Asda model is 21012.

2012 even

How do you find out the difference of models

Old model has 1gb ram 2013 has 2gb.

One is 2012 model and the other is the 2013 model. The last one is better (for example: Full HD screen)

As far as i am aware 2013 model camera rear, 2012 no rear camera....

None in my local store

Got the goose!

any in farnbrough?

I am yes. £79 for a 32gb Nexus. Seems pretty hot to me. If you have a better deal for me please let me know.

None in my locals unless staff are having first pick.

Not hot, 2012 is not getting further updates an the last few updates it got made it worse making it slow, laggy and removing functionality.

Not that good of a deal that you got. I got the Nexus 7 2013 32gb for £79 from ASDA 2 months ago, much better than the 2012 model in terms of specs.

You paid £79 for a 2012 model? You could have bought the 2013 model from Argos.

If it's the 2012 model, avoid!

I bought my 2012 Nexus 7 in 2014 (having been new in October 2013 I bought it used (mint) in the Spring of 2014) and liked it when I first got it. I couldn't understand all of the negativity it got from lots of people saying there's was unusable, and had become a brick / expensive ornament / paperweight. As mine, while not lighteningly quick, dealt with everything I wanted.

That was until about 3 months ago, having not used it for a while, and with literally only a handful of apps on my 16gb model, mine too was now the same. Slow didn't come close, very simple tasks such as opening settings or the play store for example, would take an age, not just seconds, sometimes minutes. Screen taps were not being recognised, the tablet also had a mind of it's own, screen going black, things closing and opening all of their own accord etc.

I never expected it to be fast, being an older tablet, however we weren't just talking slow, we were talking unusably slow and glitchy. Something that should be taking no more than a few seconds (really should be happening instantly) was taking 30, 40, 50 seconds, minutes, or just not happening at all. Updates to apps caused it all sorts of problems.

The thing that tipped mine over the edge, the app it couldn't cope with was 'Yahtzee with buddies'. Yep, certainly not a graphically intensive app.

I did the usual, uninstall everything/ factory reset. But to no avail, it was still unusably slow, and glitchy.

If all you're going to be using this for is literally light internet browsing and checking emails and possibly listening to some music, you may be lucky, you might be ok, but I wouldn't bet on even just that. Any updates to pre-installed apps will probably cause it many issues. If you're planning on anything more than this, you can definitely forget it.

Luckily, 2 months ago I managed to trade mine in at Grainger Games and got £54 for it (they weren't selling for that on ebay at the time, often selling in the £30 range).

In my opinion for the 2012 model and from mine and many other people's experience you'd be much better investing £79 in a newer tablet.

Asda must love hukd priceless advertising for non existent deals.

No stock in Bexleyheath.

I have two 2012's which are still running very well but no not after updates, I updated one of them a while back and it made it pretty much unusable, after following loads of advice from various sites to make it work on the updated version I eventually gave up and restored it. (b ear in mind a factory reset isn't enough to get back to a previous OS)

no idea if the 2013 model would have the same problems or the other 2012 I have as they work fine so I'll just keep them on the old version now. From comments on here it sounds like the 2013 model updates OK?

Heat added. I have 16GB version and it is brilliant device.

TY OP, picked one of these up.

Finally an Asda deal in my neck of the woods, I thought they were stuff of legend!!!

mine isn't, absolute slow performance, everything lags all the time thats why i've given up on it

btw if anyone isn't sure what model is being sold by the store the easiest way to tell is just check colour of the box
2013 = blue
2012 = grey/black
could look at spec as well if wanted to do it the fancy way :stuck_out_tongue:

These posts seem to confirm that the Asda offer (where available) is for the 2012 version - and therefore the thread title is wrong and very misleading. And the 'deal' is one of the hottest on the site today ... Oooops!
Could a mod update/edit the original post, please?

Yeah ..

I had the 2012 model about 2 years back. It was nice at first (although the battery would run out), but then after a year it started running really slowly. After reading on various forums, I realised it was to do with the cheap RAM that Asus chose to use in it. After trying various fixes (including installing a custom ROM, third party apps, etc), it eventually stopped charging completely.

In the end, I decided to purchase a Lenovo Yoga 2 for £170 (mentioned here on HotUKDeals) a few months back. This same tablet has now dropped in price. It's definitely worth paying extra for a decent tablet.

If you're going to be using a tablet all the time, I would recommend saving for a decent one.

Yes my wife has the 2012 model and it's really slow now and fairly useless now. My 2013 model is still going strong however.

Honk honk

Nice deal, heat added.

2013 model is still very capable and has a lovely screen.

Deals like this clearly show that loads of people read the title and vote. Even sometimes comment.
However looking into the comments the deal is actually something like this - 1 Asda store in Swansea had them and they are the 2012 model.

The daile deal email will go out with the hot deals of the day and this will be top of the list!
Ridiculous

Oh well, no harm done :wink:

I second this.
Mine is 3 years old and still decent in both battery and speed.
