I've been using a Nexus 7 since April of 2013. The only thing that
would make me happier is a 10" equivalent... or maybe a 10" with a
folding keyboard case. :-) As a little game machine or reader a 7"
screen is fine. As a web browser 7" doesn't provide a lot of real estate.
Mine developed some strange jitter in the screen after about 1 month.
Google replaced it quickly and provided a UPS shipping label for the
return. The second one has been fine. I was pleased to note that I
didn't have to return the old one before the new one was shipped. IIRC
they charged my credit card for the new one and refunded that when the
old one was received back.
It is rarely actually powered down. It spends most of its life in an
idle state where a brief press of the power button brings it instantly
back to life. But perhaps every 3-6 months it will exhibit some sort of
strange behavior (always different) which requires a reboot to correct.
That sometimes, but not always, loses the state of the machine if you
had an active app running at the time.
OS updates are automatic.

For a good deal less cash, I can pick up a current Nexus 7 tablet, which
appears to do what I want, and has very good reviews. It will still get
me off the PC and mouse for mail and casual browsing, which is the point
of this exercise. So if somebody thinks that is a really dumb choice,
please let me know, because the Nexus 7 is looking very good to me.
