I don't know why he mentions recommending to pure apple households. Surely if every computer (/phone/tablet) in your house is made by apple, you don't really care what anybody says about the competition.

Why not?

Or they evaluated the competition and decided that, for right now, especially in the context of the other devices they already own from Apple (which tend to work well together), those purchases were likely the best for them.

I don't know, the nexus is attracting a lot of apple users. I for one have only got apple devices in the house. The nexus 7 is the sole exception to this.

Q: So would you recommend the Nexus 7 overall? A: For straight Apple households, probably not. Haha, I'd say I'm in a pure Apple household (though I run a personal Ubuntu server... perhaps I'm disqualified). I'm still considering the Nexus 7 even with the iPad "mini" on the horizon. I think there's something to be said from having familiarity with the different devices/eco-systems (especially as a developer). The reviews are also hard to ignore.

  Fair enough then, I've got the wrong end of the stick. I must admit, I didn't really think pure apple households were at all common.

    what i meant by "pure" Apple households was those that are not only running Macs, but things like Apple TV, AirPlay etc. if you've heavily invested in Apple media, the benefits to an Apple device would probably outweigh any individual feature wins of the Nexus 7. if you're more of a casual Apple household, meaning just hardware and no media, the Nexus 7 is likely a fine choice.

    They are pretty common from what I've been noticing. I think a lot of it is people replacing older PCs with new Mac laptops, picking up the AppleTV because it is so cheap then finally buying an iPad as more of a curiosity. A lot of them didn't really pay much attention to the competition because they weren't serious, considered choices.
