    Your point? I'm suggesting that's it's not good value at €419, whereas the temporary sale price was good value.

    Did I quote your post? No I didn't. I obviously wasn't referring to you based on what you said and what I said. A bit 'touchy feely' are you?

    My point? My point is clear and concise to anyone with a normal functioning brain. If you can't understand what I was saying in my post, Im doubtful that you're capable of understanding anything else.

    Maybe I just don't like when people are snide, condescending smart arses and are too busy admiring themselves from the top of their high horse that they can't see how their posts come across.

    Ill take that as you now understand you were in the wrong and you're the proud type so can't admit it. I think your issue isn't a dislike of people who you bizarrely/irrationally perceive as "snide, condescending smart arses", but a much deeper issue. Maybe this forum is the one for you.

    Have a white 32GB reserved in Carlow and should be there between Monday and Wednesday of next week even though there's actually 1 in stock!

    According to the BA thread Argos have been grand for selling them at the reserved price (€279) instead of the current (€419) price.

    I have one reserved but not sure whether I should take the plunge?

    I am a very light user on a tablet - browsing mainly. Because of the Nexus 9 high spec how many years would I get before it slows? Is 2 years the norm or could I get more?

    Or would I be better off with a lower spec cheaper model and say get 2 in the same life span of the Nexus 9?

    They'd probably sell it to you since you have a reservation. The Nexus you ordered should be in stock earlier than that.

    In the email it says "Monday 27th July to Wednesday 29th July 2015".

    I don't mind having to wait for it anyway just as long as I can get it for that cracking price.

    If you decide not to take the plunge can I make use of your reservation code?

    I got mine in Carlow and they gave me the sale price upon showing the email with the reservation code and price agreed

    I know you said that in your other post. Mine came early and so did some other 'boardsies' tablets.

    Oh right fair enough.

    Looking at the nexus 9 myself - have been using a nexus 7 since last 2012 and it has gone very slow even with factory resets etc. Also I read the 7 won't be getting the new Android M software? Good excuse to upgrade!

    Also tempted by the Samsung Tab S 8.4 or even the new S2 8.0 - they seem a good bit smaller and lighter, particularly the former for only a small compromise on screen size. I do like the portability of the Nexus 7 but would like a bit of a bigger screen, but the better software experience of the nexus devices is pushing me over the samsung. I guess I really want a Nexus 8 but don't think there will be one any time soon :D:D

    Is the fingerprinting issue really that bad on the black Nexus 9? And the light bleed and heating issues?

    I reserved on in argos on Wednesday I think at the 279 price due in Monday or Tuesday.. I checked the reservation email and it doesn't mention what I ordered at all. Just says thanks for your reservation.. Did I mess it up?

    Cheers

    It should say it. Mine does. Check if your email security has disabled half the email. It should say at the top of the email in small writing that some of it was disabled from showing? Or else try checking emails on a different pc/device.

    Tone it down a few notches.

    Looking for a game to test out your new Nexus 9?


    I recommend 'The Talos Principle'!

    That game looks amazing!

    Shame to say it has the standard "Euro Tax" on it.

    Anyway tomorrow is when I'll be getting mine and I have a few games already bought in anticipation.

    Any other graphically intensive (free/paid) games you'd recommend?

    You got a reply in the main Nexus 9 thread, I also recommend the following: -

    Shardlands

    Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

    Hellraid: The Escape


    The above three don't need the Nexus 9 hardware but are enjoyable all the same.
