Nexus 10 goes on pre-order at Staples, taken apart elsewhere

by 83 comments

The Nexus 10 stock at the Play Store was depleted pretty quickly when it launched, so it’s good to see the 10-inch Google tablet moving to other stores. Staples have it on pre-order right now, but unfortunately won’t start deliveries until two-to-three weeks.

Meanwhile, the tablet has been torn down, revealing what makes it tick (spoiler: plenty of Samsung-made parts).

Let’s look at the Staples deal first though – they only have the 32GB Nexus 10 right now and it’s priced at $499, matching the Play Store price. Deliveries are expected to start in 17-24 days, which is a pretty long wait and people might prefer to get it from the Play Store anyway.

We’ll be on the lookout for more retailers offering the Nexus 10 – just in case there are further issues with the Play Store or there‘s an extra perk. We’d appreciate a tip if you spot any deals.

The tablet gets its power from a Samsung Li-Ion battery with 9000mAh / 22.75Wh capacity. The processing power comes from a Exynos 5250 chipset and data is stored in flash memory manufactured by Samsung.
