Uhm wasn't the Nexus 7 the tablet that literally bricked itself within a year by the storage degrading to floppy speed?

  The 1st gen Nexus 7, yes https://www.anandtech.com/show/7185/android-43-update-brings-trim-to-all-nexus-devices https://www.anandtech.com/show/7185/android-43-update-brings...

  That's the 2012 model. Easy mistake

    I really liked that one, until it stopped working. In my opinion, it was the perfect size for reading and browsing the web. I haven't used a tablet as part of my daily life since then.

  No, mine is still going strong. Obviously not running the latest version of Android since it's a decade old, but it's perfectly fine as an eReader or for light web browsing (it does struggle a bit with JS-heavy sites)

The 2012 version that I owned did precisely that. It was a great device for the time, and it is unfortunate that they discontinued it after just a few iterations.

    It's not a filler in this context

        A textual version of a vocalization of doubt.

          >A textual version of a vocalization of doubt. Anytime someone opens a sentence in such a way, verbally, it rarely paints them in a positive light. It sounds snarky.

  Not a year, I definitely got way more use than that. But yes.
