Google released the original model of its flagship 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, back in June, 2012, and a month later the device was available to purchase from the Play Store with a $350 price tag. However, if you didn’t have the opportunity to pick one up at the time, it may be of interest to you to know that you can currently grab the 7-inch slate for just $149 from the popular independent retailer, Woot! That’s a pretty good price considering we’re talking about the top of the range 32GB variant.
