If completely dead, a full battery charge takes at least three hours. During my time with the tablet, I noticed that it is disappointingly slow to charge. It houses a 6,700 mAh battery and, after testing it in the CNET labs, it averaged 13 hours of battery life. It's a quick and easy alternative to hunting down its clandestine power button and consistently worked well. Also, you can now wake the tablet by double tapping the screen. Sturdily using your pointer finger and leaving it on the screen for more than a few milliseconds when tapping or swiping is the best protocol for a consistent response. Touchscreen response is swift, though sometimes unresponsive if soaked in smudges or gesturing quickly. Waiting on the world to catch up to the demands of the latest gadget is an understandable downside to new releases like the Nexus 9. It's reasonable to believe that a fair share of the bugginess I encountered, despite the tablet's state-of-the-art specs, is because Android 5.0 is a fresh bun out of the oven and not all apps are seamlessly compatible with it. Once, it restarted on me without prompt after I unlocked the screen and too frequently I encountered lagging after simply swiping to navigate the user interface. Occasionally, apps launched to a blank, unresponsive screen or quickly loaded only to consistently crash.

The Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets don't include microSD card expansion slots, so it's no surprise that this model doesn't either.

It's the first to house the 64-bit version of the Nvidia Tegra K1 system-on-a-chip, with a 2.3GHz dual-core Denver CPU and a 192-core Kepler DX1 GPU.

While not directly aimed at the traveling multi-tasker, Google offers a keyboard case for taking your work on the Nexus 9 to go.

The Overview menu takes up the entire screen and apps are displayed like a large stack of cards that look like whatever screen you left them on. Instead of a small bar on the side of the screen displaying medium-sized tile-like thumbnails, the open apps are front and center. The Android navigation bar stapled to the bottom of the screen also gets a minimalist facelift and the square on the far right, previously known as the recent apps key is now known as the Overview menu. If you swipe down again, the menu expands and reveals a few useful settings shortcuts, including brightness level, Wi-Fi, and flashlight.
