Finally, the bigger screen ( twice as big) just gives a better experience for games, video , and just about anything visual. Reading magazines are better: reading PDFs are better.
I think a lot of people with rooted NCs really like their devices ( and can pat themselves on the back for circumventing , for the moment, Google's restrictions) but they are pretty much getting what they paid for- about half the iPad experience , IMO. |
1- there's always Amazon's Appstore if access to Google's stops
2- the only element of any ecosystem I use is the apps, so Apple has no advantage
3- a 10" screen means the tablet stays home because it's too big
4- my rooted NC is getting 100% of the iPad experience
