I've been waiting for it to come down again. I have played about with a few but now it's time for my own! Great price. Great tablet, going to use it for gaming and media.

You can play a HL2 created in 2004 and Portal created in 2007, big deal!

Good Tablet, poor battery, was £149.99 (last week I think) so no deal here for me.

The battery is the ONLY thing that puts me off this otherwise I would snap this up in a heartbeat. Also I heard the Wifi is a bit poor too. I would hold off until Black Friday, only a few weeks away.

I have one of these and where I agree about the poor battery life - the WIFI is excellent.
I often sit in the back yard and listen to music on it, the router is 2 rooms away in the front. I guess it all depends on what router you have really.

Brilliant tablet for the price.

I wonder when this launched and what the chances are of a sucessor any time soon. I'm just upgrading my PC to be an Nvidia one so this could be a nice accessory

Nov 2015. At present meant to be no replacement although meant to be either a new Nvidia Shield or another one coming in at a different price point.

It's been out for a while now. The new nintendo switch is basically this but two versions of the chipset newer(X2 vs. K1 of this and the X1 of the shield TV which came out afterwards).

The replacement was cancelled due to the same chip being used in the new nintendo switch console, basically that is the replacement. For now at least.

May be a great performer today but only 2GB Ram would make me nervous for the future. 4GB seems to be the new Google standard. I'd be happier paying about £130 for this today.
Can an owner comment on RAM free when idle? (nothing at all running in the background.)

Entirely depends on your installed apps and the background services they run. Stick facebook, messenger, skype, hangouts, and a few others with push notifications on and kiss goodbye to most of your RAM anyway.

As a previous Nexus 9 owner, I kissed goodbye to most of my RAM before the anything was even installed. As this device has the same RAM and an Nvidia SoC, I'd be concerned about memory management today, never mind in years to come.
