Looks good! I've got a bit of a tatty Nexus 7 2012 that I've replaced the screen on that would be just great to get a new shiny tablet for, for £50...

Absolutely! Couldn't think of a better bargain. Only problem I have is that I don't own a tablet! :mad::eek:

I was wondering if I could chance it with one of these:

IIRC the citeria is "7" tablet ..." ............

Problem is the MeMo is a pretty inferior tablet compared to Nexus 7. Resolution and pixel density are higher on Nexus (nicer picture which is kinda vital on a tablet and esp noticeable when watching HD stuff - even Youtube has HD now)

the Nexus has Gorilla glass so super resistant to scratches ( I can attest to this)

One thing about the MeMo though - SD card storage. Hence why it has a small amount of onboard storage, I guess.

I'm comparing it to the 2012 one, so same resolution, but faster, added camera etc. Do NOT trade in a 2013 model Nexus 7 for one of these - definitely a downgrade. And you could sell it for more than the £50 trade in value anyway.

OK I bought it last night, I think I might suffer from a gadget addiction! Nice little tablet and if you had a 2012 Nexus, it'll feel very familiar. Very fast too and Asus have applied a 'light' skin over standard Android which doesn't get in the way. I knew it had an Intel processor, but didn't realise it was an x86 one. I'll let you know about the claim process and when I get my cashback.

Where and how much did it cost? last time I looked it was cheaper to buy a new 7 than get the screen repaired/replaced

Mr_Singleton - You're right, I think it would be now. I repaired a few of them early last year (yes, that's how fast they've come down!) with cracked screens and sold them again. But I also experimented with just replacing the touchscreen glass, which is usually the only part broken. You could get the glass for about £15, or the screen/glass for about £36. So I found on the internet that people were actually able to get the broken glass off the screen, and put a new glass on. That's what I did on this Nexus. Useful learning experience, but not really great condition to re-sell, and now, as you say, they're not worth doing. I don't know if the component prices have come down at all, but it's still a useful little tablet and easy peasy to repair.

Update - I registered my tablet for the scheme on Friday, and got a text and email the same day saying I had been accepted - you need the model number and serial number of your new Asus, and the make and model of the tablet you're trading in. It also confirmed that you only need to send away the tablet itself, no accessories at all.
A box or something is on its way to me to put the old tablet in. I'll keep updating.
