Google made [non-Android] tablets in the past?

  Yes, the Nexus 7 back in... 2010 or so Was very good, I wish mine still worked, unfortunately it mysteriously stopped charging one day

    I still have mine from 2012 (I think I installed Dirty Unicorns on it though, which breathed new life). It still works perfectly, but I have no idea what to do with it and it's just sitting there along with my Surface RT. I'll never buy a tablet again.

  Exactly. :D

  You're lucky, mine was shutting down randomly and only charging up to 50%, similar to [1]. After trying the reset story from the support group I've bought an original replacement battery from Samsung, which didn't really fix it either. Aside from that, it is super slow running Android Lollipop. No idea what is actually wrong, but never going to buy a Nexus tablet again.

  Except our Nexus 10 only got up to Android 5.1.1. Our iPad 2 released the year before reached iOS 9. Our Nexus 7 (1st gen) slowly ground to a halt due to flash wear.

It's a ChromeOS device - most of them had at least 4 years of support.

Although I had 10" tablets including an iPad, I and others at work found both versions of the Nexus 7 tablets very useful. Even with my 1 yr old iPad, still have the Nexus 7 charged and use at times. (Just the screen won't rotate anymore to landscape after the last few OS upgrades lol) When Google decided to abandon that line and their Nexus phones, it was pretty shocking - and telling. Approximately 10+ friends, family and colleagues went to other brands or iPad Minis.
