Nexus 7 16GB 2012 worth £60

I've been offered a used 2 year old Nexus 7 16Gb first gen tablet for £60.

I currently have a Asus Transformer T100 as my main portable computing (apart from my mobile).

I like the T100 because away from home it serves all the functions of my main PC. I like that it can be used as a tablet though over the months I have found I rarely use the tablet. I find it a little too large and heavy for day to to day use while travelling.

I've seen Argos doing new ones at £99 (still first gen I believe).

Just wondered if people thought £60 is good value or pay 40% more for a guarantee.

Is the tablet still decent, considering it is 2 years old now?

I'm gonna be travelling alot and normally make do with the T100 at my base and my phone in my pocket each day. I'm thinking the Nexus might encourage me to carry it daily (bigger Sat Nav is always handy), and at £60 if I lost/broke/stole it I wouldn't care.

For the extra £30 I would go for the new one. I found my nexus has slowed down a lot since purchase. I don't know if this is fixable or not but there are reports that the memory degrades after time.

Go for the new one seeing as it's 32gb.

If you can't find stock with Argos then Zavvi have 32gb Grade A manufacturer refurbished ones for £90 http://www.zavvi.com/tablets/asus-ne.../10890503.html
