Interesting.

I've a Google Nexus. It's feeling a bit dated and sluggish lately. Don't use it enough to warrant spending big bucks on a new Nexus or an ipad. Was using it really for only reading comics but dont even do that anymore since I buy physical copies.

How does this stack up with what I have at the moment?

which Nexus exactly? 2012 or 2013? this Lenovo is like the 2012 one, so won't be an improvement anyway

try this if you're looking for a cheap tablet with great support:

unless you're talking about the 2013. in that case I suggest factory reset
