In trying to buy a replacement, I'm finding it difficult to compare apples to apples. What I want is something physically similar (>7" screen) but with an updated OS and storage. What I don't want is a bunch of immutable bloatware and Chinese spyware. Inductive charging would be nice, but I'm not seeing a lot of tablets with it.
Do you guys have any favorites?

Best bang for the buck I've found in a 7' tab is the ASUS Nexus 7 2nd gen, 2013 model, not 2012.
Only Android product i've owned that has regular updates to the most recent OS.
You may need to shop for it, they are in high demand and still comparatively pricey.

I had picked mine up as a refurb for ~$80.00 off Amazon. Recently the screen cracked and I've been waiting for a deal to come around to get another.
