Can it serve as a screen replacment? Could you use GG on a regular computer instead of a monitor. (Not asking if has that capability now. Asking if the amount of information you can get at one time is equivalent to a single "monitor full". Also if the subjective resolution is as good as a monitor.) That is does it feel like if the drivers and wireless connection was there to let it try to replace a monitor, that it could replace a monitor?

My laptop is in boot up purgatory, can't quite get to the login screen. If I get a new laptop, can I transfer from the old one with it in this state?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Hey Typo. Doubtful. The screen is only a couple lines of text. Rather low resolution. Think flash cards rather than monitor.

What kind of laptop?
If it is Windows, and it gets to windows, and you have sharing on, you may be able to connect to it remotely and copy files off through a network.
Have you tried booting it in safe mode, hitting F5 as it boots, and seeing if you can log in in safe mode, or even safe mode with networking.
Then you can create a new account and see if you can load that one up.
If it's a mac, you can reinstall the OS form the boot up disk, or create a new account.
Otherwise, you can get the HDD out and attach it to your new PC with a $20 USB adapter.
Or you can send it to me, and I'll get your data off (Last ditch)

512MB of system memory and Android 4.1 is not a good mix. All the Nexus devices ship with 1GB at least.
There is a newer version of Android designed to run well on 512MB devices, but I'm not sure this particular model will ever see it.

Crap, my Mighty Mouse is malfunctioning. The left button is acting like the right, and the problem follows the mouse.
I've mapped the scroll nub press to be primary for now, but I keep forgetting.
I kind of got used to it, now I will have to train myself to a real scroll wheel.
Or none, if I can dig up any usb mouse to use until I get a job.

I would not buy an off-brand Android tablet unless you are prepared to put up with really lousy screen quality. Compared to an iPad, even top brand Android tablets are pretty disappointing. (I haven't put a Nexus side by side yet, but my Galaxy Tab doesn't even come close.) I really don't like iOS7, but I would put up with it for the retina display over what I've seen from the Android tablet market.

Hey. New board.
The latest generations of Android tablet have higher brightness and resolution than iPad screens. But certainly the lower end isn't really comparable.
I want a Note Pro tablet but a 12.5 inch screen is ridiculous and it's all they've got so far. Plus I can't afford one.
