If you're shopping for a smallish tablet, we wouldn't blame you for narrowing it down to the iPad mini and Google's new Nexus 7.
But how do you choose between the two? Let Gizmag lend a hand, as we
compare the specs (and other features) of the two mini-tablets.
Size
The two tablets are roughly the same height, but are proportioned
differently. The new Nexus 7 is 16 percent narrower than the iPad mini.
The Google/Asus tablet is also a bit thicker, by 21 percent.
Weight
That narrower build helps the 2nd-gen Nexus 7 to tip the scales at 6 percent lighter than the iPad mini.
If you look at weight relative to surface area, though, the iPad mini
actually comes in at about eight percent lighter. So it's possible the
iPad mini will, in a sense, feel lighter in hand.
Build
Like the original Nexus 7,
the new model sports a plastic construction. The updated tablet does
skip out on the rubbery backing of the 2012 model though: this one has a
smooth matte finish.
The iPad mini is made of Apple's favorite, anodized aluminum.
