Without the pen how is this an upgraded version?
It’s not the specs are the same the only difference is that this one doesn’t come with a charger or the directstylus
That’s exactly what I was pointing out
reduced price may just be to clear the way for Nvidia Shield Tablet X1 ??
Not trying to be a dick or nothing but maybe you should research this stuff before you write about it, the devices are pretty much the same except for the lack of stylus charger also I think the speaker grill is a different material on this “new” tablet. I have the 2014 32gb with lte it’s still an awesome device
