Believe that's the first Nexus 7. According to Google and Apple and the current offerings.... Google: 290g Apple: 308-312g Not huge difference of course, though if Apple went retina for their next version would be curious if they could match/lessen.

Fair enough, but the Nexus 7 II is lighter than the iPad mini also.

Everyone's use is different, but I primary use tablets for long text lately (Kindle, Readability, etc.). I still have my major issues with Android, but go to the 1G Nexus 7 over the 1G iPad for that use. I'd say pixel difference is especially noticeable there. Playing games, watching Netflix or Hulu+, etc. not so much.

The power side. It was a last second question not related to the actual appointment about drive choices about 15 feet away and he gave an out of date/incorrect FW v. USB generic answers. Basically 'buy FireWire if you don't want to use AC.' I didn't expect anything after that on the issue so didn't pursue. Listen, I don't want to pick on them too much. It's all perspective as Grawk said. Personally, I rarely use them for basic service (I was already talking with this guy so asked that question) so it ends up being an extra, time-consuming step in replacement. I think the first time I had a Genius visit was in Palo Alto with a well web documented charging issue with the 1G iPod (eventually fixed months later with a firmware update, though at the time cause unknown), and it was a hassle just getting the guy to agree the two hour charge was abnormal for a couple month old iPod. Most visits are like that. Fighting a bit on the recognition of the problem, then replacing. I know others have very different (even out of warranty) experiences. But I must take back the comment about not "ever solved a problem." The non-unibody molded MacBooks (aka BlackBook in my case) had a habit of warping over time and the optical drives failing to read as the keyboard/sides shifted down and putting pressure on it. A Genius showed me how to use a knife inserted into the drive slot to force it back by applying pressure up every few months. I'm a little mixed on that fix, but it indeed worked for quite a while.

For the record the last Genius I talked to was confused by USB powered hard drives.

Thanks for catching. Makes my attendance more difficult (though still trying). ;(

Nothing against past or current Geniuses specifically, but over the years I don't believe they've ever solved a problem I've had (except in being an unnecessary step in approving a replacement). Apple users, of course, are all over the map in technical knowledge (including many doing hours of homework first), but I certainly think the launch expectations and title indicates a level of familiarity of Apple and third-party Apple sold products that was never reached in at least the stores in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. And the Apple system still seems built around that expectation (or I suppose in majority of customers relative ignorance).
