I love mine. Only the original NES I got when I was 12 rivals this in terms of Christmas gift awesomeness.

However, I did come across something today and I need to decide if I want to live with it or suffer going through getting a replacement. I initially left the screen protector that came with it on the device, but today it started to peel so I pulled it off (love the feel of the screen, by the way). I had noticed a little spec of lint under what I thought was the screen protector but when I removed it the lint remained. It's clearly under the glass itself. One would hardly notice seeing as it's in the top corner of the screen (using Chrome in portrait mode it sits just below the microphone icon to the right of the web address). I just have to decide if I want to go through the time and hassle of getting a replacement. This one was purchased directly through Google.

If I had to complain about something. This would be the one and ONLY thing.
[Nexus 10 General] 404 ERROR:
I got probably one of the most sensitive SoCs of the batch being unable to fix the thermal throttle issue without underclocking the CPU to about 1.0 ghz. I also got light bleed.

But I play games, watch movies, browse the web, check my email, and almost every other thing you can possibly do on the tablet nearly everyday. Lightbleed? Well everything with an LCD monitor has lightbleed. So I don't know why people are crying about it all the time. It's not a big deal if you're using your tablet right (that is not being weird and viewing a black wallpaper on your Nexus 10 at night). I mean, why would you?
[Nexus 10 General] DaveWW00:
love it. no light bleed, super smooth even when playing need for speed and similar games, have a reboot occasionally (once every other week at most) but its boots back up so fast its not too much of an annoyance.
[Nexus 10 General] Lim Wee Huat:
Loving it. Hoping for the Rasbeanjelly ROM for the N10 though. It's the only Nexus device without Rascarlo's development & support..:(
[Nexus 10 General] dale_cooper:
Well my nexus 10 shipped so hopefully it will be here tomorrow! (if they're shipping from Louisville like the nexus 4 did).
[Nexus 10 General] 454SS:
I really like mine, bit of light bleed but that's it.
[Nexus 10 General] Rage1ofakind:
Don't worry guys, Chrome will get proper updates soon as Google themselves have said that they will be aligning the update versions to the desktop ala Firefox. http://phandroid.com/2012/11/27/chrome-for-android-updates/

It can only get better ;)
[Nexus 10 General] rxnelson:
I'm sure I'm in the minority but if it is a want versus a need I'd wait for an update and see if the reboots get sorted. Mine reboots daily without fail. The more I use it the more it reboots. Otherwise it has been fine. I'm just not very tolerant of the reboots.
[Nexus 10 General] Eatonitis:
Just Brilliant

Got my N10 on the 10th December, used it every day since. It's my first tablet and first Android device. It has completely met my expectations. Nothings perfect, it has crashed a couple of times and it does have a little light bleed. Neither enough to concern me though, the light you have to sit in a dark room with a screen test app to really see. It has no impact on day to day use.

All in all, well satisfied.
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
Technology is never perfect, but as long as it gets the job done, i am fine with it. Mine is shipped and I am still waiting, but as much as I love Android, I doubt I will hate it at all. Technical difficulties is a different thing but lets see, I will let you all know.
[Nexus 10 General] ga9213:
Light bleed is an issue I've seen with just about any new LED/IPS display technology product I've purchased recently in some form or another. Minor bleed I don't even consider as an issue anymore as the technology just seems too difficult to get right and I've come to accept it.

However, I've had two N10's now due to serious wifi problems. The reception just is not even remotely on par with other devices.

Side by side my phone (razr maxx) and the N10 are 25 dbm apart on their signal strength. I'm led to believe that's simply a hardware problem as both tablets were poor on the reception, whereas the dropping and refusal to reconnect seems to be acknowledged as a software issue.

That's not to say I don't love everything else about this tablet, but my primary location for use is far from the router. My TF700t that I sold to get this one had 3 or so bars with -65 dbm reception in the same spot that my N10 is now getting 1 to 0 bars with -85 to -90 dbm and frequent drops as a result of poor signal strength.

It's very disappointing as that's really all that I see as holding this tablet back and it's REALLY holding it back.
[Nexus 10 General] waltthizzney:
I like it other than Google pretending it does not exsist and making no dock or keyboard for the port that will ALLOW IT... insane!
[Nexus 10 General] HolyChicken:
I love my nexus 10! Yes I do have minor light bleed in the bottom corners but it is only noticeable when the screen brightness is more than half way. Sometimes I am a little concerned with how warm it feels but after reading all of the different temp threads it seems like no one has been able to get a true temp readout on the cpu through software so I have no idea if I should be worried. I have set the CPU to 1.2ghz max and it seems like it runs silky smooth at that speed and it does not get nearly as hot. All in all these issues are very minor and does not make me second guess this purchase at all.
[Nexus 10 General] plaktoets:
Ordered mine from Google on day one. What I like most about it is its smoothness and beautiful hires screen...As an amateur photographer is love editing pictures on the tablet... It's just awesome for that especially while you're on the road.
[Nexus 10 General] Sardonik:
Ordered mine on launch day and have had zero HW problems (knock wood). I have experienced the freezing and crashing reported by others, but I expect that to be corrected in an Android update. Its my first real tablet (CM7 Nook Color was a fun experiment) and I love it. Reading comics via Perfect Viewer is amazing on this screen and, with an alternate browser, its a great web browsing device as well. I'm sure Samsung or Moto will release some octa-core Key Lime breathing 12" beast for me to lust after by Easter, but for now I have no buyer's remorse at all.
[Nexus 10 General] drcujo:
No issues so far. Ordered first day and use it mostly every day.

Light bleed is very minor. I guarantee most people wouldn't even know what it is/ if they had it without these forums. For some it is a big issue, and if it really bad just rma. Although I haven't seen any of the tablets that some have rma 3-6+ times I would they are too picky or have extremely bad luck.

If you are considering a tablet, this is the best on the market right now.
[Nexus 10 General] hatchna:
I bought mine from Walmart last week, and I practically cannot put it down. This is my first tablet, though I've used the Nexus 7 as well as the iPad and while I enjoyed the Nexus 7, I love using the 10 more. And the iPad just thoroughly annoys me. I cannot get used to that thing. I literally cannot stand it, and not just because it's Apple. It's simply just not my thing.

The Nexus 10 on the other hand, is simply a thing of beauty. Mine has some minor light bleed that is not noticeable during regular use. The display is simply gorgeous. No other way to put it. This thing is beautiful. It's very fast and snappy. No lag for me whatsoever that I have noticed. I've played games on it, but not for long periods of time so I have not noticed any throttling.

Mine does seem to have a minor WI-FI issue, in that it will periodically drop connection to my home network for a few seconds and then reconnect. I don't know if this is an issues with my home router, as I have not seen this happen at work, but none of my other devices have issues at home either. I'm hopeful that this issue will be corrected with a future software release.

That said, again, I love this tablet. It's near perfect for my use, and would buy it again in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 10 General] surprise123:
I like mine , I will go ahead with Google nexus line products .
[Nexus 10 General] dajogejr:
Opened mine Christmas morning, hardly put down since.

Excellent tablet... I've rooted every Android device I've ever owned. I see no need on this one, unless I get bored.

I removed the HD Weather Widget I was using, and disabled location sevices for Chrome.

Have not had a reboot or lockup since.

There is a known bug with location services...Google is well aware of it.

The display is simply stunning... Even a co-worker that has a new iPad4 looked at it and said WOW...

If I had to gripe about something, here it is. A MicroSD card reader and USB port would be nice. I understand no USB to keep it light/slim, but they could've added an SD card slot.

It would be nice to see a magnetic POGO charger released as well that charges faster.

That's my only gripes...and hardly a gripe at all.
[Nexus 10 General] gdeadfan:
I just really hate holding it sometimes. It feels so awkward, especially when you have to like grab it with one hand so you can use your other hand to reach something in the center of the screen. I think I'm getting used to it, but it just feels more awkward than I had imagined. And that is my only possible complaint.
[Nexus 10 General] ga9213:
The decision to move the Back/Home/Multiapps buttons to the center of the screen, especially in landscape mode was a TERRIBLE decision.

You don't hold it from the center, it makes MUCH more sense to keep it on the left so you can thumb the buttons without removing your grip. I can't imagine who would have thought permanently placing it in the center was a good idea.
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
Not to be contrary, but I personally prefer the centered soft buttons, and would find it annoying to be forced to use them on one side or the other - in either portrait or landscape. I have no issue with reaching the buttons at all, although I can understand that somebody with smaller hands or a different grip would have a different experience. When I hold the Nexus 10 with one hand (generally my left), I use a grip that's almost like holding a platter: my thumb extends out from under the bottom 1/5th of the left edge, my pinky peeks out from under the home button, and the other three fingers are spread under the tablet supporting the weight directly under its center of gravity. Sometimes i center my left hand more so the thumb is also under the tablet. Quite comfortable, and works well for me as I use the Gesture typing feature of the 4.2.1 keyboard (and use Swype on my Galaxy Nexus). Left hand holds the device and right does the swiping. Also means that I hit the soft buttons with my right hand (index finger typically). I used to be a thumb typist with my old BlackBerry, but far prefer swiping with a touch screen.

Best solution would simply be to allow us to choose the location.

[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
Just got mine and so far I am very impressed with it. No WiFi issues or light bleeds to begin with, rest I will find out after using it a couple of days. Gonna watch a cricket match on it on Sunday night, which will be 8 hours long, let's see how that goes. Very excited and loving this.
[Nexus 10 General] toricred:
I love mine. Coming from the Xoom makes the N10 feel nearly perfect. I miss my 4G and my wifi drops sometimes, but it is definitely smoother.
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
Its nice for typing too, I always used my iPad for typing my short stories, but I love the keyboard on this and I finally have no use for the iPad. Plus there is the tablet version of Evernote on this and thtas perfect for me.
[Nexus 10 General] lightosx:
How does the N10 compare to quad-core devices? Does it give provide the same smooth experience a quad-core would? I was thinking about buying the Asus Transformer Prime when it came out, but it was sold out at the time and I I let too much time go by, so I figured I would wait for the next best thing to come out. I just got the N4 about a month ago and I absolutely love how fast it is. I am considering getting a N10 for the size, just worried it won't be as nice as the N4 is for the price. Thanks in advance for your replies.
[Nexus 10 General] jimh425:
The IPad4 is also dual core cpu and one of the smoothest devices. Like pcs, for most processes there is no advantage to a quad. Greater speed per core is typically better.
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
I have been using it all day today after 2 PM and so far I havent had any problems or stuttering with it. Its very smooth and fast for all that I have done, but I am a writer and therefore mostly will be using it for research and typing. I will let you guys know more about my experience as I use it more in the coming days. But loving it so far and worth every penny in my opinion.
[Nexus 10 General] unboostedzc:
couldn't be happier with mine. no problems whatsoever. no light bleed, lag, freezing, anything.

running paranoid android 2.99.9r5 and ktmana 1-2-2012 kernal and it's butter. the screen is amazing to say the least.

i sold my transformer prime to get the infinity. got a hold of a buddies n10 right when it came out and i was sold instantly.
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
Ok so update, yesterday when i was watching Big Bang Theory on it, it froze once and I had to reboot it. But I found out that its a known issue with 4.2 or something.

Maybe I should root it and flash a custim rom on it.
[Nexus 10 General] techenigma:
Loving mine. I had to drive 90 miles to Newport Beach to find one in a Staples. They had one 32GB left and its all mine. Unlocked, rooted with Paranoid Android 2.99.9r5 and KT Manta 01.02.13. Have it slightly CPU U/V and its been running very smooth. No F/C's, lag, reboots or anything. Actually right now its at 52 hours uptime since I last flashed something.

It gives me a more device versatility between my Droid DNA, Nexus 7 and of course the Nexus 10. Now no matter what I need a device for I have one that fulfills the role perfectly. Only thing I wish is that more devs would come on board so we'd have even more development occurring for it.
[Nexus 10 General] schnip:
i suppose people who have a perfectly functioning device wont come to lightbleed threads and ***** about it because for one they prolly dont even know what it is and for two they dont care because everythign works.

i for one have nearly no lightbleed at all
[Nexus 10 General] EvoYas:
Yeah no lightbleed issue here either, and it hasnt frozen on me again either. So far so good.
[Nexus 10 General] dale_cooper:
Alright guys so the nexus 10 came yesterday....

I have light bleed in both lower corners.... With that said, it doesn't even bother me... I don't know how people have gone thru multiple devices because of that light bleed. In real world scenarios you don't even notice it. It almost makes me mad that Google allows people to RMA that many times because it surely has to drive up cost for everyone else.

Initial impressions - this thing is just sick. I can't believe more people haven't mentioned the soft touch back. If that wasn't there it would feel way more plasticky than it does.... Instead it makes it feels durable and nice to hold... not to mention you're not worried about scratching the backing or it sliding around. The size in general of it is nice.... Even in portrait mode which I normally hate with android tablets; it feels good to hold because of the shape of the tablet.

In some ways the screen is too nice.... The majority of images I see look grainy because they're not high enough resolution. Movies included. Using the device is typical nexus... Smooth...slick...fast... Just great.

I think there are some times where the Device says I have no connection to WiFi even though I do.... Not sure if thats an issue yet or not.

If there was a keyboard dock for this, wow it would be beyond fantastic.

I need to figure out how to get the aosp browser on here since people mentioned chrome has issues I'm guessing there's an apk somewhere.. Also, I can't believe how fast I can type with the onscreen keyboard.

Finally the camera is quite good!! Best I've used on an android tablet.

Great experience so far.
[Nexus 10 General] SteveRiley:
Try the ParanoidAndroid ROM. Some apps have multiple UIs, and this ROM exposes each one, allowing to select which one you prefer.
[Nexus 10 General] daLareid:
You need to root it and get a custom rom on it, in order to have aosp browser on it. I've heard Ocean browser is pretty much the same but can run on stock android.
[Nexus 10 General] Rodeojones:
This is not 100% accurate. A custom ROM is not required, but obviously being rooted is as you'll need to copy the browser apk to system/app. I'm rooted but otherwise stock and I have a full-functioning AOSP browser on my N10.
[Nexus 10 General] rubene66:
i have light bleed and i get throttle fast and lag in almost all 3d games i have tried all the roms and kernel no solution for me yet.
[Nexus 10 General] babywarez:
I love my Nexus 10. Is not as fast and buttery as my Nexus 4 is... but I love it. Also, I have some light bleed on both devices but I can live with that, isn't that noticeable.
[Nexus 10 General] fr8cture:
I LOVE mine. I use it daily since I don't have cable in my room I use Netflix and Xfinity player to watch everything. I also play some games on it. Runs smooth and fast. Best tablet I've ever owned.
[Nexus 10 General] Ted C.:
Enjoying mine...

Some small amount of light bleed but nothing of consequence for my needs. Mine is replacing a netbook so this thing has me all :)!!!
[Nexus 10 General] bobcat255:
Disappointed :(

Hope I don't get blasted for this, but I've owned my Nexus 10 32Gb tablet for less than a week and although I'm in love, I also found so many bugs it boggles me that Google still hasn't sent a fix to cure some of these (some reported more than a month ago and are serious show stoppers).

In its current form, I feel that the tablet isn't even production ready and as someone who loves Android [Nexus specifically] I actually feel a little disappointed and am on the fence about keeping/returning the thing.

Here's the list of issues:

Clock crashes for primary user (also GMail crashes) - I Googled a "fix," but this was really annoying, happening every ~10 seconds. My wife was furious as she couldn't use her tablet.

Google Talk only works for the first user created on the tablet; if you have other users it won't work

USB charging is extremely slow (as mentioned by others)

Volume button is "backwards" in portrait mode

It seems to crash/restart a lot and I can easily force it to do it every time I download a video

Chrome is beautiful but disappointing

a. Lots of "stuttering" - this is the norm in many apps that I use in fact (Vsync issues?)

b. Pages reload every time I switch apps

c.Has a "back button" bug where the back-button doesn't appear until the new page is completely rendered​

The Magazines App has a weird rotation bug - easy to recreate, just hold your tablet in landscape mode while trying to view a magazine; watch it just go into some limbo of flashing the screen over and over

I guess that's all for now. Some of these are annoyances while others are real issues. I'm really disappointed because my Nexus 4 (which I got prior to the Nexus 10) has been the best phone I've ever used and beats every other phone I've ever tried (yes, even smoother than my friends' iPhone 5's, the supposed flag-bearer of smooth!).

Like I said, I hope I don't get blasted for my opinion and experience, but I expected a lot better. Obviously if the tablet had no redeeming features then it would have been returned by now, so despite the criticisms the tablet is absolutely beautiful and the best of its kind in many ways - a joy to use. I just hate the feeling that I'm beta testing a product and worried about whether Google will address these issues as times go on or if they'll slip through the cracks. Not to mention there's no time-frame for any of these.
[Nexus 10 General] the1onewolf:
I 100% agree with what you said.
[Nexus 10 General] ZanshinG1:
I really do like my Nexus 10. I needed a Nexus device for debugging/testing since it's well-supported by Google as a reference device.

Like most products, it's not perfect. I think Android 4.2 was a bit rushed in particular. There should not have been so many reboots.

Fortunately, I don't have light bleed, slowdown in games, or many of the problems reported here. I love the form factor, the feel and the weight of it. The display is a great pleasure to read comics and play games on. I keep it in a very functional zippered case, but use the tablet as designed in both portrait and landscape.

It's definitely fast. Noticeably faster than the Nexus 7 in anything involving the internal flash memory. It's as fast in most games, and faster in some in particular.

I've owned several Android tablets, including the Motorola Xoom and Nexus 7, using each in turn every day for work and leisure. The Nexus 10 is the best Android experience I've had on a tablet.

I expect it to get better as Google makes incremental releases to the core apps and Android 4.2 which will likely give us more mature drivers and some performance tweaks in the framework.
[Nexus 10 General] jonstrong:
No blasting, but I'm just bewildered that our experiences are so different. I'm far from being a novice or naive user, with many many years in software and It, enterprise and mobile, as a developer, executive and consumer. I've read the problem reports here and don't doubt them, but my own experience is radically different.

I've had my Nexus 10 a few weeks now, and it's been spectacular. Chrome does occasionally lock up, but I was actually seeing some issues with Chrome on my laptops and PCs as well in recent months, generally related I believe to ad providers on the problematic sites. That said, I have Dolphin and Firefox beta installed and they don't seem to bog down...and the issue with Chrome is infrequent enough so that I still wind up using it as my default browser.

I download and watch TV shows and movies with no lockup. I use Google+ every day with zero issues. Play Magazines runs beautifully for me. I use Gmail heavily all day and it has never failed on this device. I don't use Google Talk much, but it has never given me a problem on this device.

Screen and App transitions are silky smooth with no stuttering. The only areas I've tweaked so far that perhaps make my system different from yours:

Mine is unlocked and rooted, but this is still the stock ROM. I've got Force GPU drawing enabled. I have Apex Pro beta installed as my default launcher, and have it set to keep the screens cached, which makes transitions perfectly smooth. I also have only one user defined so far, so this may be related to the difference in our experience.

One or two glitches as I've mentioned, but all in all this is far more stable than any release of Windows has ever been, and somehow people seem to forget the errors that appear in Apple products from time to time, even as recently as the maps fiasco.

Sorry to hear about the issues you are having and that others have reported. My experience with this has been superb, and it should only get better as the software continues to mature. I'm finding this to be a fantastic product and incredibly useful.

[Nexus 10 General] tntsjp:
I absolutely love my nexus. I rooted, got my OTG cable and stick mount app and I'm loving the ability to "add" memory to my measly 16gb nexus I bought.
[Nexus 10 General] vittogn:
I agree with most of the comments.

When the reboot issue will be sorted out, and when Chrome will have the same performance of AOSP browser (along with its good ui and functionalities) this tablet will be allmost perfect.

The screen is amazing and finally I can read magazines in a proper way.

The rear coating is fantastic and I do not feel I want aluminium body just because it is a more expensive material!

I love everything else of this tab.

Light bleed is there but visible only in very specific conditions.
