the most significant upgrade here is a move to a 1920 x 1200 resolution, which looks quite sharp and bright. The rear cover design has also been altered to allow for better GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth performance. It's an incredibly light and thin tablet — the body is mostly plastic — but it still manages to feel solid in the hands. Performance-wise, the 1.3GHz quad-core Tegra 3 SoC doesn't disappoint — scrolling, swiping, and moving around in the OS is smooth and snappy.
