Nexus 7 by Asus
I bought my wife an Asus Nexus 7 back in mid February. A few weeks ago it stopped working. The unit would not come on at all. After looking around for help on the web, we called both Google and Asus and ultimately had to RMA it back to Asus shipping on us via FedEx. Apparently this is not an uncommon problem .

It would be nice to have a working unit at some point but only
