I should add. I will not ever purchase an ipad so we can leave that off the list of suggestions.
android all the way baby. I actually like what the Nexus 9 offers save one major problem. No SD card slot. |

There were some super cheap Nexus 9 deals on black Friday for $200 that I keep hoping reappear but haven't. I keep looking for a reason to upgrade from my 2013 Android tablet and other than missing that Nexus deal haven't found anything.
Sound like just hunt up a deal or refurbished from Samsung. Spending 200 for an old tablet seems like a loss. |

I'm inclined to just get that nexus because it is pure android. Just not really ready to spend $350 on a tablet. Especially one that doesn't have upgradeable storage.

If you dropped it... the chances are that it is simply a loose ribbon cable that is connected well enough to send your haptic touches through the system but the pin to wake on touch is not making good contact.
If you are gonna toss it anyway I would look for a youtube video showing you where the ribbon connections are and would reseat them before going out and spending more money. |

Jeez, you can have your Windows PC, Android Smartphone, and what have you, but when it comes to tablets, just buy an iPad/ipad mini and be done with it. There is nothing as good for consumption. And yes, I know you said no to it, but its silly not to consider it.
Edit: See you fixed it. |

Glad it was that easy for you. I bought the wife the same tablet along with the Bluetooth Keyboard/Stand/Case. She loves that thing. Better for her than a laptop. She barely needs her desktop computer anymore. |

Glad out got worked out.
For what it's worth, I hate apple, but the iPad is still the best tablet for most. |

Hate Apple. I like having the ability to install apps from various sources on Android tablets so I'd never go that route. I also have looked at the Nexus 9 as my future upgrade. I've been running an HP Touchpad with Cyanogen Mod on it but it's getting very dated at this point.

Pretty much, we had a snafu and ended up getting 3 at a really good deal. All work fine and never had a crack, etc. happen at all to any of them. Great tablets but yep, too slow now.

I have an iPhone but didn't want an Apple tablet because it is so much easier to drag and drop videos from my hard drive on Android than screwing with iTunes.
