Google Nexus 7 Market Report
Making its debut a little less than a month ago at Google’s I/O Conference, the Nexus 7 was touted as a high-end tablet available in a low price bracket.

With the release of Google’s next-generation Chromebook, the Samsung Series 5 550, the company is all set to provide its users with a whole new personal computing experience.
