It was talked a lot about the Nexus 7 in these last days, not least in its price very low, which should be the result (at least version 8 GB) of low profits for Google and Asus . Believe it or not, but the analysis of components of the tablet does seem to confirm this theory.
According to a report fact, the production cost of the Nexus 7 would be $ 184 to which are added all incidental costs such as logistics, distribution and promotion, thus making the profit per unit rather paltry considering the selling price of $ 199.
Obviously this applies only for the 8 GB model, since the margin of the 16 GB has to be much more relevant (additional memory would affect about 10 $), not to mention the fact that the distribution through the Play Store is to a priori method of saving for Google, allowing him to cash the $ 184 maximum cost of production.
After all seems so true that in Mountain View does not come with a lot of cash to sales of the basic version of the Nexus 7, but basically, as we already pointed out , the purpose was probably not, but the spread of Play Google services. It will mean that we think the batting box 16 GB model, which unfortunately is the only one available us.
