Google released the original model of its flagship 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, back in June, 2012, and a month later the device was available to purchase from the Play Store with a $299 price tag. However, if you didn’t have the opportunity or the wherewithal to pick one up at the time, it may be of interest to you to know that you can currently grab the slate for just $119.

The popular voucher and discount service Groupon is now selling the original 16 and 24 GB 2012 Edition Nexus 7 for the most competitive prices on the market to date. That’s $119 for 16GB and $149 for 32GB. You may be thinking that it will be a struggle to stomach a 2012 model, instead of the newer, more impressive 2013 model. But bare in mind, these are not the normal refurbished units we tend to see from online deal sites, instead, these are brand new devices — which makes the offer much more appealing.

The 2012 edition of Nexus 7 is not old hat by any means. It’s still a fairly impressive mid-range Android-powered tablet that packs a 7-inch LED backlit IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 1280, a 1.2GHz quad-core Cortex A9 processor which is part of the NVIDIA Tegra 3 chipset, a ULP GeForce GPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB/16GB of internal storage, a whopping 4,325 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery, and ships running Android 4.4 KitKat.

Groupon’s Nexus 7 (2012) deal runs for the next 3 days, or until it runs out of inventory, so if you’re in the market for an affordable 7-inch tablet, there’s no better time than the present to pick one up.
