Well, I dunno. I have the 2012 Nexus 7 and it seems a bit slow
now... Especially with the advent of the Link Bubble browser on Android.
It loads and renders web pages in the background and pops the ready
rendered pages on top of the current app in an overlay on request. Doing
that sort of thing for a bunch of web pages is fairly hungry for RAM
though.

So could use a faster CPU and more RAM. Cellular connectivity built in
wouldn't hurt either. File transfers to the device are really slow
too. Battery life seems to have gotten shorter which is to be expected
after two years. So I've been eyeballing the 2013 Nexus 7...
