Nexus 7 Sale at Staples: 10% Off Plus a Google Play Credit
Archive note. This story reflects what was known when it was first covered. Prices, availability and carrier offers are historical. For the current picture, start with the topic guides.
The deal
The Nexus 7 was already priced low, so a 10% discount was not a huge saving on paper. Still, for anyone who had been waiting to buy the tablet, that Saturday was a good day to do it.
How the price could fall further
- The sale price at Staples was $233.
- The author thought a coupon could knock off a few more dollars. Such coupons were believed to go to people signed up with the store’s customer program.
- The tablet also came with a $25 gift card for the Google Play Store.
After all of that, the author figured you could essentially get the tablet for under $200.
Why people liked the Nexus 7
The author called it an amazing tablet at an amazing price. It was a Google-branded Android tablet, which meant it ran Android as Google intended it.
How to treat this today
The sale, the price and the gift card are all from that time. The Nexus 7 is an old tablet and no longer a sensible buy.
