Amazon is offering a notable discount on one of the hottest tablets currently on the market, slashing $50 off the price of the Google Nexus 9.
The discount applies to the Wi-Fi-only variants of the tablet, and includes both the black and white models, as well as the 16GB and 32GB internal storage configurations.
The Google Nexus 9 launched back in mid-October, serving as one of the launch vehicles for the new Android 5.0 Lollipop, and marking the revival of Google's collaboration with HTC. The two companies hadn't worked together on a device since the original Nexus One. At the same time, HTC hadn't launched a tablet for a good while, but the Nexus 9 proves the company can handle this market as well.
As a reminder, the Nexus 9 tablet features an 8.9-inch display with a high resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and a 4:3 aspect ratio, arriving as the first non-widescreen Nexus tablet. Under the hood, the slate packs a powerful 64-bit NVIDIA Tegra K1 processor clocked at 2.3GHz, paired with 192-core Kepler graphics and 2GB of RAM. Other specs include 16GB/32GB of internal storage, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.6-megapixel front shooter, NFC, optional LTE, and the very latest Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
In fact, the Nexus 9 is the first tablet to come optimized for 64-bit processing on both the software and the hardware fronts, as Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with 64-bit support. The new version of Android also boasts neat improvements in terms of UI, while also bringing enhanced security and business features, superior battery optimization, and Google's new Material Design, among the highlights.
When it comes to design, the Nexus 9 comes with a premium metal frame around its edges, although it doesn't boast the highly-acclaimed unibody design of the HTC One series.
Amazon is now offering all Wi-Fi models of the Google Nexus 9 at a $50 discount, allowing users to purchase the slate at a more affordable price. Head here to purchase the 16GB white model, here for the 32GB white model, here for the 16GB black model, and at this link for the 32GB black variant.
Amazon is also offering the popular Google Chromecast at a discount, now selling the gadget for just $23.99 instead of the regular $35.
