Nexus 7: Six Months Later

Words by Matthew Chiam

                    

As some of my close friends may know, I have owned a Asus/Google Nexus 7. I got it as a Christmas present last December. Immediately after getting it, I went straight to reviewing it, which was kinda stupid, given the fact that the time I held the device only added up to a mere 5 minutes. Now, 6 months have passed and I think I have more experience with it so I decided to do a revisited post on the Nexus 7.

Perks of Not Caring

"Don't bother," said Weixin. She started stirring in her plastic Starbucks cup at a fantastically breakneck pace.  "Don't bother," she repeated, with unusual conviction. "Cliques are useless, trust me."

I sipped my frappuccino slowly, pondering about this. Without divulging the contents of conversation, as is expected of any decent friendship, I shall simply say that we were discussing...social interaction. Yup, that's probably the best way to sum it up. Although, admittedly, incredibly vague at the same time.

"I don't know," I said. "I mean, I mostly agree with you and all, but it means that sometimes you get left out, you know? They won't share stuff with you, secrets or..."

She raised her palm up, making me instinctively come to a halt.

"It's pointless anyway." More stirring.

I raised an eyebrow. Try as I might, it was hard to disagree.
