You do, which is why so many people are extremely upset here in the iPad forum because of light leak and yellow screens.Looks like you get exactly what you pay for.
When you look at it from the side you can see the glass sticking up a bit and when you push it back down you can hear the adhesive grab on then it lets go. I haven't even had it for 12 hours yet."

I found your post pretty obnoxious. I spent 40 minutes with google play store trying to return the nexus 7 only to be told someone will email me, I'm still waiting for this email. Customer service is night and day between apple and google, and guess what that is still part of the user experience. you can't just look at pure manufacturing costs.That is the most ******** comment I've read so far this morning and I've been trolling PRSI.
"You get what you pay for." Seriously? Do you realize the markup on Apple's iPad (which I own) is high and yet there were, are, and continue to be quality control issues? Complaints of customer service issues also exist. Tell me exactly the logic of getting what you pay for.
Hopefully this sub-forum doesn't turn into a ******** ground for fanboys.
Now, notwithstanding, there seem to be some issues but I am not sure how wide spread they are. If there is a cheaper panel being used then I'd like to know the panel. I know not all panels are created equally.
Obnoxious is an interesting word to use and clearly shows your annoyance is misdirected as I'm not the source of your problem. Customer Service with Google has problems but so does Apple. I wasn't looking on pure manufacturing costs but it does have a very big role here.I had two nexus 7s one from google play store the other from GameStop. both had the left edge screen separation issue. While I understand apple has quality control issues of its own, I don't think it's nearly as pervasive as the problems affecting the nexus. Apple has a huge ass market with a lot of users. There simply havent been that many preorders and gamestops to purchase the nexus 7 from. Yet the problems seem very widespread.

Don't you remember the many many problems the 21 and 27 iMac had when they were released, like the yellow screen? Or the signal problems antennagate with the iPhone 4? Or the bad battery life of the 4S?
Just shut up.
I definitely remember the completely overblown antenna issue on the iPhone 4. An issue, nonetheless, but people were smart enough to realize that it wasn't really a big deal.
It was a big enough deal for Apple to issue free bumpers at not a small cost to themselves.
I respectfully disagree, it was a big problem, admitted by Apple by the introduction of the bumpers. If you have a link to where they made sure that everyone knew that it didn't lead to dropped calls I would appreciate it.
No argument that it was their biggest seller so far, I myself bought one and didn't suffer from the loss of signal, many did though.

There were more dropped calls in the stats for the iPhone 4, but the amount was negligible.
You know there were hundreds of complaints about light bleeding on iPads on this very forum, right?
The Google Nexus 7 is the first of the second generation 7 inch Tablets out of the gate. and it sure looks like it could be a winner. The published display specs look pretty good, and some of the basic Lab measurements also look pretty good. But just like in Triple Crown races, an important but overlooked issue can spoil the outcome.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/df-hardware-google-nexus-7-reviewThe Nexus 7's screen has a resolution of 1280x800 pixels and uses LED-backlit IPS LCD technology. This ensures absolutely rock-solid viewing angles no matter how much you tilt the tablet, and also grants decent colour, brightness and contrast levels. IPS panels can't quite match Super AMOLED displays when it comes to sheer vibrancy, but they tend to present a more accurate representation of colour, and don't suffer from the tinting effects which impact some AMOLED screens. While the Nexus 7's screen doesn't match the eye-popping 2048x1536 resolution of Apple's third-generation iPad, the smaller size ensures this isn't a massive problem.
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/tablets/3366292/google-nexus-7-android-tablet-review/The highlight for us is the 7in screen which uses a backlit in-plane switching (IPS) panel with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The display has excellent contrast, brightness and viewing angles. The level of detail is high thanks to the 1280 x 800 resolution giving a pixel density of 216ppi. This is higher than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) which costs more.
We found the screen good for browsing the web, playing games but even more so for watching films and other video content.
http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/29/3125396/google-nexus-7-reviewThe Nexus 7 boasts a 1280 x 800 LCD display thats covered with "Corning glass," which I assume means Gorilla Glass. The screen is 216 ppi if youre keeping count and it shows. Text and images look crisp and clear on the 7-inch screen not Retina display quality, but not too far off either. Colors on the screen looked a bit washed out when compared to the Super AMOLED of the Galaxy Nexus, but Ill chalk that up to the exaggerated saturation of that phones screen. Next to the new iPad, things looked a little more balanced.
Viewing angles were surprisingly good too, though I dont spend a lot of time looking at the screen off-center. For those of you that do, fear not.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/google/9409016/Google-Nexus-7-review.htmlIn fact this is a tablet that is ruthlessly functional its screen is excellent (1280x800 is passable HD)
