I have a nexus 7. The main board already went on me. Repaired under warranty. Luckily it was a display issue so I didn't lose anything but time and 13 dollars on shipping.
Edit: I had it for 2.5 months before the board went out. Not a single scratch, ding, etc on the tablet. Never dropped, kept in a case, and only moderate use. Just shows anything can happen to your electronics no matter how good you are to them.

Mine ever since it updated to Kitkat has been nothing but problems (actually lots of devices experience these issues after kitkat), lower battery life, wont charge when plugged in, battery % going crazy. Hell last night under light usage it ate through 85% of my battery in about 2 hours. I'v trying to get Samsung to RMA it, I'm still so pissed i lost all of my pictures and fuel log logs. I'v only had it for 8-9 months. I'v half tempted to say fk it and go balls in on an s5 and 2 year contract. So far Samsung hasn't done well in my book. HTC is already on my **** list after the assload of problems my Thunderbolt had and lack of support it only took us like 2 years before we got gingerbread on it and it was such a fail, it was HORRIBLY optimized and would kill my battery in about 5 hours of idling the phone. I rooted it and ran some custom ROM that was basically optimized for gingerbread and it was awesome.

Samsung's are known for ****ty batteries.

Also Samsung's touchwiz and bloatware are battery eaters big time. You need to flash the ***** to simple android, but I heard the S5's are a bit of a ***** to do any of it.


I run a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012).

The 4 goes 16 hours on battery, drops to around 60-65% with 1.5-2 hours screen on time...custom rom and kernel

The 7 only drops about 4% a day on standby, never really run it outside of that because I only use it at work really.
 


My warranty is up in February, when its up I'll probably root it. Because I'm gonna bet I'm going to have the same issues again if they send me a new one if it has Kitkat installed. Its sad because I ran my thunderbolt under worse conditions for 4 years before the battery decided to almost blow up on me. I'm still going to try to figure out the drain issue today, turning of WIFI, taking out the SD card, running the battery up to 100% then down to 0 couple times. Sad because I used to get awesome battery life.
 
It's not.. Hell I'll make it a whole day without charging it but I throw it on the charger at night when I'm sleep so I don't have to worry about it.. Same deal with my old 5 and now with the 6 its even better.
