EVGA Tegra Note 7 Review

 

The stylus was dead, and now it’s back. What once was the hallmark of cheap touchscreens and finger-unfriendly software has, thanks in no small part to Samsung’s efforts with its Galaxy Note range, had a second-wind; even the popularity of aftermarket capacitive pens for the iPad suggests not every iOS user agrees with Steve Jobs that “if you see a stylus, they blew it.” Now NVIDIAis wading into the fray, targeting not only pen control but a low price too, with the Tegra Note 7. Set to be sold under different brands in different countries – such as the EVGA model on the SlashGear test bench – the Tegra Note 7 claims similar functionality to Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8.0 but at just $199. Over-ambitious? Read on for our full review.

Hardware

What does $200 get you in a tablet? The Tegra Note 7, as the name suggests, is built around NVIDIA’s own Tegra 4 chipset, which we’ve seen in several other devices over the past months. It’s paired with a 7-inch, 1280 x 800 IPS LCD display, 1GB of memory, and 16GB of internal storage, plus WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, and GPS. There’s no 3G/4G option, but you do get a microSD card slot, a 5-megapixel rear camera with autofocus, and a VGA front camera.
