I've had this tablet for 2.5 years and I still love it!⥰>JustU.Faith/NexusTab?é‚ I watch videos, YouTube etc. on it every day. The resolution is fantastic, it's fast and I've had no glitches. It is currently updated to Android Version 6.0.1. I think that's amazing! I shop, do research, read ebooks, do business and watch tv on it. I no longer take a laptop with me on trips because this device works perfectly for everything I want to do on the internet! Best tablet ever!!
Hey Androidcentral. Do you still have this dock for Nexus 7? Reason for asking is, i want to buy it?
I purchased a Nexus 7 (2013) for my Son.  He no longer uses it now he has his phone.  I also purchased this dock directly from Asus (Far cheaper than on Amazon). ÂÂÂ
I now use the Tablet Sat in the Dock, wired up to my Amp.  It looks awesome.  You can see the wires.  And it has the ability to play audio without a cable plugged into the headphone jack. ÂÂÂ
It looks totally sleek.  And when I'm not using the headend It displays a nice clock from Tmely that I've changed to colours on to match my decor.ÂÂÂ
If you have an old Asus 2013 tablet and aren't using it, get a dock, turn into a picture frame, alarm, clock, or head end for your amp.
Is the power cable for this dock the same cable that comes with the Nexus 7?
piece of shit. Bought it. File transfer does not work when docked in. So its only a charger!!!
It needs to charge from 0â„… to 100â„… 18 hours. Such a disappointment from Asus.
they have to make money somewhere.
yes 20% faster
then get a rubber duck for $16 !
they are NOT mini USB! It is called MICRO USB. Mini usb is something else.
It's on sale at the UK Asus Shop right now.
Docks usually cost that much
– I've been looking for somewhere to buy this for a few months now; does anyone know where I can get one as it's not yet available through Google?
Also, is it that I am, getting on a bit, slightly hard of hearing or being English and not 'tuned in' to the American accent that I can hardly understand half of what the commentator is going on about?!
Because it's a specifically designed accessory for a niche need. Just make your own, or buy one of the generic ones.
A way over-rated accessory. I just made my own, plug in the USB/charge cable, and the 3.5 patch cable to my stereo.
Why is it so expensive?
Does it charge faster with this?? Answer please
That probably isn't very safe, and I don't think it would allow for more than one charging option at a time.
I'm havign that problem too….
Slow charge times are to be expected with the pins on the tablet. It's doing a trickle charge + it's slower to safely allow you to simultaneously use it for most purposes while charging.
this is what I need, because my Nexus 7 is dead/not turning on/not charging oh and the usb is loose, so im havinh a hard time trying to chargi it
Where did you get that dock???
That is some loud audio at the end of the video!!
does the cords which u used to connect the dock to the wall come with the nexus 7!!!!
I can't stand people that trail the volume of their voice off when they talk. Learn how to fucking talk.
Nothing for MicroHDMI?
got really excited but wont work with my case
I love that muse album!
Muse is awesome!
I'm thinking of getting one of these because my Micro-USB port is stuffed and won't charge reliably
Not with a pogo pin connection. Those other docks are all mini USB, too fragile for long term use and you can't use the nice attract mode stuff with those docks. They are super cheap though. I'm amazed no one made a pogo pin dock for landscape orientation, those pins are really cheap.
It's available for chrome too. search "chromeactions" in the Google. Should be first result. Great add-on for youtube, once installed under youtube player, you'll see a gear icon called magic options. Tweak how comments look there. If you see little country flags by each commenter's name, you're good to go 🙂
thanks. what plugin is that? 😀 maybe its available on Chrome.
You have to change that bulb!!!!
I got a dock with the same functionality as this from amazon for 8 bucks. Too late to the market in my opinion.
Awesome, but I can't pay $40 for this. It's just too expensive for a "dock".
Phil, your voice gets lower and scratchy whenever you get to the end of a sentence. Long sentences are especially painful and annoying.

When is the nexus 4 charging orb coming out???
