My toddler dropped the iPad one too many times. It's old and out of warranty. I will probably by a new one but the price tag puts me off. Do you have a non-iPad tablet? Do you like it? How expensive was it? Things I should consider before buying?

ETA: I have a Samsung phone and a Windows laptop, so I'm not Apple-exclusive. I mainly use a tablet to read the news or reading in general, on the web.
