Google Nexus: Useful for Whom?

I recently read the article: "An iPad-Toting Mom Reviews the Google Nexus 7" (link below) and I wondered whether the Google Nexus would be useful for me. I sent out a quick email to a selected few individuals asking their thoughts about this device, and I will post below the reply that helped me with my final decision.

"Google Nexus - tablets are sleek and fun, but they're an expensive little piece of machinery (especially since many of them have monthly fees for internet access). They're most useful for people who need to keep track of documents and get online in random places, but who don't want to cart around a laptop. Before purchasing one, think about what you'd really be using it for." by JJZP

If you are reading this post, could you please let me know the advantages of having one? Thank you!
