[geeks] Speaking of Google Nexus - Is anyone else's as unreliable as ours?

[MH1272]

Some news outlet (Ars, The Reg, Appleinsider) reported that there is a slowing
down as some of the Nexus 7/10s as they ages. People interviewed had no
work-rounds and/or fixes.

If you have problems, contact Google within the warranty period (I.e., don't
wait) was the advice from the article.  This issue does not effect all Nexus
tablets.
