Why the Nexus 7 is the best 7" tablet.

  The Nexus 7 is described as powerful and the best bang for buck. Many users describe the Nexus 7 as being exactly that, a device with a budget price and having lots of SPEED and not to mention always having the latest major Android release.

  The Nexus 7 (2012) offers a nVidia Tegra 3 CPU which in 2012 the Tegra 3 chipset was arguably the most talked about chipset but without LTE it was a drawback to Qualcomm S4. I can't give my opinion to the Nexus 7 (2013) as I don't own this model but I do intend on upgrading only for the unlocked LTE, which by the way is making my mouth water and the HSPA+ with S4 Pro the icing on the cake. I do like tablet however, it has very poor NAND chips that frequently need TRIM to run on them to keep the buttery smooth performance. Also, I recommend Paranoid Android with the Franco Kernel for the best performance and battery life combo. While I still like my One XL I do think about getting a LTE Nexus 7 and use that because KIK is being used more often than the stock messaging app. Also, KIT KAT is going to be a tasty update that I believe should be given to the Nexus S as a bed for it to rest.

Nexus 7 LAG FIX

   The 2012 Nexus 7 is a little over a year old and many users often complain about massive LAG in the UI and using applications. Before their were only 2 solutions and both of them involved removing data from the device, factory reset, and deleting items when the onboard storage reaches below 3GB. The problem can be fixed by running TRIM which is run automatically in Android 4.3, but if you don't want to update you can try can awesome app that can run TRIM automatically or on demand and that app is called LAGFIX(fstrim).

 TRIM wipes block data that the storage no longer uses. Another thing is think about is, can an iOS device run TRIM? Or does Apple not allow TRIM so you can feel like you NEED to upgrade your slow device? Android on the other hand isn't like this. I think that's another piece of information that Android is more advanced than iOS. Period.
