The editors liked
Everything-especially tablets-should have front-facing speakers. At first the Nexus 9's speakers seemed dangerously close to the edge
But my palms actually didn't block them they way they block the bottom-mounted stereo speakers on an iPad Air. They aren
Solid build
Front facing speakers
Great integration of hardware
Cool new Android (5.0) Lollipop UI
The editors didn't like
Nexus devices are supposed to show off the perfect mesh of stock Android and thoughtfully designed hardware
But the Nexus 9 puts Android's big-screen shortcomings front and center. I hate
The Google Nexus 9 is the first tablet to run Android Lollipop 5.0, which should receive timely updates. It performs steadily with many apps open, and switching between them is fluid. Its streamlined construction has a deluxe, comfortable feel
Not all apps work smoothly with Android 5.0 yet. Firm contact is necessary for efficient touchscreen response and it's slow to charge. The largest capacity model offered is 32GB and there's no microSD card slot
The Google Nexus 9's premium build, speedy performance and consistent updates render it one of the best high-end Android tablets....
64-bit processor is great for gaming and productivity, Front-facing stereo speakers give the Nexus 9 a mini-theater experience
Chassis is very basic, Density can make it hard to hold for long periods of time
If you're drawn to the Nexus 9, buy it because you want to see what the future's like, not because you're looking for the absolutely perfect tablet device....

Minimal tabletoptimized apps available from Google, High price, Low available storage capacity, Minimal tabletoptimized apps available from Google, High price, Low available storage capacity
It is a bit disappointing that Google isn't still offering up the Nexus 7, as that was a tablet you could easily use with one hand. The Google Nexus 9 is a well-made tablet running the newest version of Android and will appeal to the Android faithful. ...
The pricing is absolutely competitive at $399, Material Design gives the interface an inviting presence, Android 5.0 Lollipop dishes us several cool features, Battery is far more lasting than its contemporaries, Precise color reproduction with its display
Hollowness with its construction, Low lighting performance is weak with its camera
Modesty, that's what makes the Google Nexus 9 an unsuspecting threat in the tablet space. The specs and design aren't insanely out there, to drastically separate it from the existing crop of competition, but rather, it's what it delivers with its overall ...

Android 5.0 Lollipop runs like a dream, Material Design face-lift is warm, welcoming, K1 chipset is plenty powerful, despite benchmark oddities
Screen is solid, not jaw-dropping, BoomSound speakers not as good as M8's, No expandable memory
I didn't expect to feel so torn about the Nexus 9. On the one hand, Android 5.0 Lollipop is refreshing, what with its snappiness and welcoming redesign. On the other, I can't help but feel a little frustrated that Google and HTC compromised on the Nexus 9...
Fast, fresh new Android Lollipop OS, 4:3 aspect ratio good for reading and web surfing, 64 bit CPU holds promise for the future
Dull design and materials given the price, not quick to charge, some display light bleed
If you're an Android purist and enthusiast who wants OS updates first and prefers a clean Android experience minus UI customizations like TouchWiz, LG UI or HTC Sense, then the Nexus 9 has clear appeal. Likewise, if you're that guy or gal who spends quali...
