Google Nexus 7 Parts Cost $18 More Than Kindle Fire

Posted by timothy on from the business-model-is-what-matters-though dept.

judgecorp writes "The parts for a Google Nexus 7 tablet cost only $18 more than the materials for an Amazon Kindle Fire, according to a teardown by IHS. This means while Amazon initially took a loss on each tablet sold, Google will break even on its 8Gb tablet, and make a small profit on the 16Gb model."
