Had a Nexus 4 phone with straight talk and loved it. Then convinced myself that since I hardly ever actually used the phone (I mean normally less than 15 mins a month) I was going to go tablet only for the bigger screen so sold the nexus 4.

I would love to have cellular, but not a deal breaker. I am near WiFi 90% of the time.

I do not do any work on the tablet. I surf the web, listen to music, very rarely watch a video, read quite a bit on the kindle app, use navigation a bit, and am confused as to how to use this without data service but am told it can be done... but mostly just surf the web.. I love the 10 inch screens, could live with an 8 inch.

Don't suggest anything apple please... In the past 3 years had an iPad 1 @ iPad 2. Loved them for the most part but HATE iTunes and apple in general. I admit I did try out the iPad mini for a few days but the iTunes thing got to me and I returned it.

Don't suggest anything I have to root, cause I don't even know what that means or a tablet where I have to do any work around as I am not tech savvy enough to understand how to do it...

I am all about Google, google ± and love how everything syncs up with them without me doing a thing. Having loved my nexus 4 I thought I would love the nexus 7 but found the screen too small. I liked the squarer iPad mini screen much better. Next bought the galaxy note 10.1 but it was very laggy. Next bought the nexus 10 but it has rebooted on me every single day, at least every couple of hours. The battery is pathetic, takes almost 10 hours to fully charge, then discharges in 7. So disappointed in the nexus 10 and it will be going back.

Have considered the galaxy note 8, and I have read good professional about the Asus TF700 (office max has them for $379 currently) Good price, but thought I would ask here first for advice, am I overlooking something? I am tired of buying and returning tablets! I wish there was a tablet as good as the iPad but free from the apple world.
