The first day of school is almost here, and we're looking for a new tablet for our daughter. Considering her workload requires enough heavy books we want something lightweight but powerful enough to meet her study needs. The Snapdragon-powered Google Nexus is it. The Nexus is sleek, light and quiet. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor provides tablets with technologies that work faster, smoother and more efficiently, and are available in a variety of products from entry level smartphones to the highest end of mobile computing devices.

On the Nexus she can connect to the Internet for research, access a growing number of available electronic textbooks, and keep organized with the calendar.

We know she will need to use her tablet throughout the day so battery life is crucial. The Snapdragon-powered Google Nexus features an extended battery life for longer browsing times and connectivity.

Smooth transitions between apps is an important feature on any mobile device. Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors make it possible to run all of your favorite apps simultaneously and help you multi-task without having to wait for load times.

Wireless internet connectivity is becoming more and more important in our daily lives. Not only must a tablet be able to connect to Wi-Fi, it must be able to provide a strong, steady connection. Snapdragon processors give you faster, more secure, and more stable methods to connect to other networks as well as other devices.

Price is always an important factor in any purchase we make. We want the best value for our dollar keeping in mind how the device will be used, for our child's age and for how many years she'll need it. There are so many price options on the market that you don’t have to break the bank to purchase a tablet, and Google Nexus powered by Snapdragon provided for us the best value.
