EVGA launches Tegra Note 7
Do more, hear more, and play more with the EVGA Tegra NOTE 7, the world’s fastest 7-inch tablet. It all comes alive with the industry’s most powerful tablet graphics, a brilliant HD display, and incredible features in a sleek design that’s the perfect fit for your mobile life. Write and draw more naturally with NVIDIA DirectStylus technology that gives you up to 3x the responsiveness of the competition.
EVGA Tegra Note 7 comes with the Tegra 4 SoC. This particular unit released today in the USA is branded EVGA, but should sowly get global availibility. The tablet is based on Nvidias Tegra 4 with four A15 ARM Cortex CPUs clocked at a maximum core frequency of 1.8GHz.
GPU related matters are dealt with through a 72-core NVIDIA GeForce GPU. RAM is just 1GB, which puts it well below to what some of the tablets are shipping with. The 7-inch screen is also fairly average at just a 1280 x 800 resolution. Internal storage is 16GB with support for microSD card.

hope it comes to europe soon i can see a place in my life for it.
it shines in a few area's compared to the N7 and fails in some of minor significance imo
and honestly 2gb of ram on a tablet wth are you doing with that thing, my phone has 1gb of ram (tegra 3) and it's never past 800
not even when playing carmageddon (probably a less impressive title but the device was not inteded for gaming still though tablet game resources can't be that intense).

I thought this too at first, but then I thought about it more. If you look at competing devices such as Iphone or Windows Phone, both high end devices only use 1 gb of memory max. This seems like a low amount compared to Android, but that's because Android is a memory hog and makes it even worse when the companies and carriers add their UI changes, and other frameworks and bloatware. Even on bare CM, my S4 with 2gb only has about 1.4-1.5 usable, and maybe 300mb or so of that is always populated with base android core services.
Kit Kat is designed to work fluidly on devices with 512mb of memory. Now this device ships with Jellybean, but Kit Kat will be in its time. That's when this device will shine.
But the device has other drawbacks. I understand that because of yields and cost to manufacture the SOC that may be the most expense in the tablet, but they skimped out on the resolution of the screen. But considering you're getting a solid performing tablet with decent resolution, stereo speakers(This is something a lot of tablets lack), camera's, stylus that comes with it, and expandable memory on top of already having 16gb, $200 isn't bad for this little guy. I was thinking about the Nexus 7, but if this tablet has as much support in the development community as the 7 I may rethink that, and use the $30 difference to buy an sd card for this.
For the average consumer 4.3 isn't going to make a difference. There isn't too much of beneficial differences from 4.2.2 to 4.3. Besides, if we're going by this Cyanogen Mod has no 4.3 stables out yet but still is amazing as ever on 4.2. 4.3 actually has not touched my s4 yet being aosp or TW, and honestly I probably wouldn't notice too much if it ever does.
Dead on arrival. 1GB or ram? Who was the genius that decided on that?
