Also, an RPi is probably noticeably less powerful than a Nexus 7 which is quad-core.

The RPi 2 is also quadcore but clocked at 900 MHz - so maybe less powerful but perhaps not as much as you might think

Yep, about the same as a modern budget cellphone, but much more open to experimentation. It can also be overclocked, and it does make a noticeable difference. The Pi 2 is more or less usable as a desktop PC at this stage, though it's not going to replace even a 10 year old workstation or laptop in that regard.
