I've been pretty happy with my N7 2013 since I bought it back at it's release. However, it took a spill today and suffered severe screen damage to the point of being unresponsive.
So, now I find myself in the market for a replacement. I've found the N7's 7" screen and form factor to be a good size and shape and a nice complement to my Moto X phone when I want a larger screen to browse with.
Naturally, I lean towards just getting another one and I've seen deals for them popup on Techbargains and similar deal sites. But, before I go back, I figured it was worth looking into what the market is currently offereing. The N7 is a bit old in terms of tech hardware now, though it had just gotten its lollipop update a few weeks ago. Still, I expect it's probably going to be the last major update that it gets from Google, considering their tendency to drop support for devices every few years. Which then leads me to wonder if I should go for something newer that will offer a longer support life.
The Nexus 9 doesn't really look like the answer, but I'm not sure what is.
