I was using this device for last couple months. It's by far the best tablet I've ever used. It feels great when you hold it and thank god for better aspect ratio! (compared to N7). I also have N10, but never really liked it, it was quite cumbersome to hold it. N9 feels much better in hands. The thing I loved the most though was keyboard cover. It's narrow but you get used to it very fast. Typing on it was such a pleasure! I was not allowed to travel with this device but I could easily see myself just taking N9 instead of laptop for short trips.

What is your relationship with Google?

  According to his HN profile he's a Googler

    Yeah, thanks, I can see that, I'm just curious in what capacity he or she is using it.

How's the performance? I have a first gen Nexus 7 that's getting really slow, and this looks like an interesting option to replace it. Is it faster, or at least comparable to the Nexus 5? I rarely use my tablet right now as my phone is considerably faster.

  Holy crap yes my old n7 just crawls. Makes me seriously suspicious of Asus hardware in the future. My only thing is that I love the n7 size. Maybe I should suck it up and buy a galaxy tab but I want stock Android.

    My 2013 N7 still runs like a dream. It was such a better device.
