Looks like Motorola is pushing out Lollipop updates quicker than Google. As a Nexus 5 owner, I am a little butt hurt brehs

They're meant to be getting a soak test on the Motorola x like the N5 previews that dropped sometime ago. Not the full final update. There's no confirmation of that anywhere.

Yes breh

my mother in law took my stylus out the other day and lost it. I wonder if they'll check to see if I have it

We had a return on one and I played with it a little today. Not very impressed to be honest....

The way I see it the Nexus 7 is fine. It'll get Lollipop and better still has a 16:9 aspect ratio. Sure it's a bit smaller and lacks the boom sound but the speakers are acceptable.

I've looked hard into the Nexus 9 and there's no real justifiable reason to get rid of the Nexus 7 to get one except a 2 inch larger screen. That's not worth a $200 or more premium.

Yeah it's real polarizing right now and alot of apps don't fully support it. But I love mine. Basically, do everything on it.

The reason I'm considering it is because I want to change to a desktop and tablet set up instead of my laptop. I feel like nexus 7 is too small for that. What say you?

Yeah Nexus 7 is too small to be a laptop replacement. Plus honestly unless you're just watching movies the 4:3 ratio is much better for everything else. And you're getting a much better performing device as far as future proofing.

I have a 7 and it was good but its basically a Chromecast remote now.
