Dang it I waited in line at Walmart for two hours for this same price... Ugh. I should have known to always trust in Woot! But this is a great buy. I researched other kid friendly tablets before my purchase. The specs are equivalent to the Google Nexus 7 8gb.

I saw a Nabi 2 in Best Buy the other day. Was really impressed with the silicone bumper (wish there was something like that for my Nexus 7), but less so with the bastardised version of Android 4.0. I wonder if these have any sort of hacking community.

(I'm 20 and single and childless, so I was looking at it as a ruggedised tablet rather than a kids' tablet.)

I bought the Nabi 2 7" for my daughter on black friday. She loves it and it performs wonderfully. The OS has some nifty features that allow you to access a vanilla android interface via "mommy/daddy mode"

I'm not sure how this model compares to the new one, but if it's anything close, I'd go for this. I did manage to get the Nabi 2 on BF for $129.99 though...

I just got a nabi 2 on Thanksgiving at Walmart for $130 and bestbuy.com had it for that price that morning but I missed it. BB's black friday price was $170.

I really like it so far.

I've already told CS to confirm all requests for cancellations.


I'm going to delete a bunch of posts so this thread makes sense.



Then I'm going to open a bottle of wine.

Enjoy the wine. So is this the NABI2?

Is this the NABI2 second generation?

Drop test: nabi 2 vs. iPad 2

EDIT: Also, here's a review I wrote on another website:

The nabi 2 is easily the best tablet for kids available today. The hardware inside puts it at or above the level of most 7 inch tablets, as it features many similar components as those found within Google's Nexus 7. There is much to cover for why I love this tablet, but let's get the bad out of the way first: you will not be able to access Google Play. For some people, this is a deal-killer, but I must say that in using it, I can't say I've found the lack of access to be a problem. Amazon's app store can always be installed if you want a broader range of apps, but I've only used it to install a Reddit app and a Netflix app to use when we parents use our son's nabi after bedtime.
The nabi has its own app store, which I would consider to be a strength. The app store UI is attractive and easy to use, with apps organized by type (Entertainment, Creativity, Games, etc) and age. Apps that make it into the nabi app store have been examined by the nabi team to ensure safety for young users, which often results in the removal of clickable advertisements.
The tablet comes with an excellent chore management tool. Parents can buy currency and set up chores for their child to do. When the child completes the chore(s), they will receive a portion of currency based on the complexity of the chore, as indicated by parents. This can then be used to unlock downloadable content for their games or install full games.
The nabi 2 also comes with learning tools, including flash card games, mini lessons, math pages to complete, and more. For younger kids, dozens of books come preloaded, each with an option to be read by professional voice actors in a variety of languages. More books are available for free or purchase on nabi's app store. There are also dozens of craft guides available for parents and kids to do together based on seasons of the year or holidays. The educational potential is great with this tablet.
This tablet is built thicker than most grown up focused tablets, where thinner tablets are generally valued. By making it a bit thicker, and surrounding it with a rubber bumper, the nabi 2 is a very durable tablet that stands up well against heavy use.
I would absolutely recommend the tablet without hesitation to any parent considering a tablet for their child ages 3 - 10. This is a device I am confident in handing to my young son because I know he will enjoy it, it will not break, and he will not be able to accidentally stumble upon inappropriate content.

Is the bumper included? I didn't see it in the "in the box" list.

It should be. Woot would have to open the box and remove it from its contents to NOT include it. It comes with the bumper already on.

So it IS the Nabi 2, correct?

So, is this a good present for a 2 year old?

We just got one for our 2.5 year old...to keep him off of our ipad (he was starting to delete icons)...

Isn't this the "new" one? Nabi 2?

Woot deleted negative comments that would help others in deciding to buy or not? shame.


[MOD: NO! Read my post above. I deleted posts that referred to this being a First Gen. WE ARE SELLING THE NABI 2. It's all confusing. We're staring over. ]

oh hell yes...purchased!!

You're an wishbone.


As for the product, it's a great product. Personally, we bought the Fire for our toddler to use because we feel like it's a stronger tablet. However, this one can do everything you should need if it is strictly for your child.

I thought the NABI 2 had 8 GB of Flash Memory, but Woot's stats say 4 GB!?!?!?! Which is correct?

burndtjammer wrote:Woot deleted negative comments that would help others in deciding to buy or not? shame.

I'd assume due to it being referred to as the original Nabi, with less impressive specs than the Nabi 2. I looked this morning and it was the original Nabi, not buying for $129. With it being the Nabi2, DEFINITELY purchased at $129. I have been looking for one of these the past few days, and this is the absolute lowest price anywhere. Lowest I could find was 170 or so.

WELL worth the price, and it can be rooted, and it isn't some cheap toy they will outgrow in a year. Played with it on display at Gamestop and it runs very smooth and doesn't lag.

Is the bumbper pink?? Or is my computer screen distorted and its really red?

Bought 3. We are trying to get these in the classroom for our children's school. This is the best price I've seen that we didn't need to stand in a line for 4 hours to get. Thanks WOOT!

It's red.

Are you planning to share???
**Holds out my glass*

(Thanks for answering the question. I didn't order last night because of all the posts stating that this was the older model. I wanted this one. )

Here's a quick review and tour of the nabi 2 that I filmed moments ago just for you, wooters! It's about 6 minutes long.

So I requested a cancel of my order due to the screw up with the product description last night, and now that it is back to being the nabi 2 again, I have requested that it be un-canceled. It hasn't been cancelled yet but is there any way to make sure this goes through without it getting cancelled?

Okay, now that I've ordered one:

Best Buy had it for $130 on Friday and sold out online within minutes (I'm assuming even faster in-store)----and I would've had to pay 9% sales tax. I was on the fence, so didn't get upset.

Then, after seeing that it would be coming up as an Amazon Lightning deal later that same day (not knowing in advance what the price would be, but hoping for a better one), I did some research and was "pretty sure" I would like it for some young nieces/nephews.

When it popped up at $130 again (no tax/free shipping), I wavered momentarily---and it was sold out with a full waitlist in about 70 seconds.

So, when this came up here at the same price point (except for the $5 shipping), I figured the Universe was telling me to BUY THE DAMN THING ALREADY!!!! lol

(If the price drops before Christmas, I'm going to be peeved at the Universe.)

This thing sold out while I was reading the comments this morning!

Awesome! It was a Black Friday lightning sale on Amazon but I got distracted and missed it. Thanks Woot!

Hate that you missed it, but looks like I got it just in the "Nick" (pun intended) of time!!! (Odd that the button wasn't throbbing, though)

Glad I looked this am when I did (had an odd urge to check it before tending to my normal am activities) and saw the confusion cleared up (thanks again, TT!!!)....and that I listened to the Universe screaming at me. Hope the kids will enjoy it and their mother (my sis) doesn't confiscate it for her own pleasure. lol

same here i got it at walmart, second to last one they had. want to open it but its for my son and my wife wont let me play with it. :-(

ThunderThighs wrote:Nah, it never sold out. Figment of your imagination.

How many bottles of wine did you drink, TT?

ThunderThighs wrote:Oh , it did sell out. What do you know. I was so busy checking things that I didn't see that. Sorry.

So, QQ.
As CS scrambles to verify cancellations, will there be enough stock to fulfill later orders?

Also, it's amusing to look at the sales chart to see exactly when the item was corrected.

Thanks Woot! I now have 3 of these and one to go back to BBuy.
