What's a good tablet for college students?

[angelofbodom]

Hey guys! Not sure where to post this, so I figured here would be good. I'm looking to get a new tablet. I haven't had one in a while. The last one I had was the first generation Nexus 7 and loved it until the screen cracked on me. I figured having a tablet would be nice for convenience and doing minor note taking and some TA work. I wouldn't really be doing any heavy streaming on it besides YouTube. I was looking into the Nexus 9, but was then told the Jide Remix Ultra tablet was good too. I am tech savvy, but never did much research I to tablets. I would be using it along side my laptop. My budget is around $200 - $300. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any advice and replies! =]

The Samsung Tab A is in that price range.

I liked my friend's Samsung tablet, however how long will it receive updates? Is the Nexus 7 still a good buy?
