7 inch android tablet recommendations

Hi everyone, My 2012 nexus 7 isn't turning on anymore but is still in warranty. I'll be getting a refund for it pretty soon and may replace it. I was mainly using it for uni stuff, so I'm not sure it's worth replacing now I've finished. I need to think about it a bit more. I liked my nexus 7 apart from it breaking. Something sturdier would be ideal, I won't necessarily break another one with such good timing. Does anyone have the 2013 nexus 7, how are you finding it? The price range I'm looking at is $300ish. Cheers, Bianca
