I need a new tablet and could use some advice. Before I go on about it here, anyone know if there's a thread for this already?

Guessing there is no other thread then. . . .
First, I'm an Android user all the way, phones and tablets. Samsung pretty much exclusively too though I would consider other makes with an Android OS if Samsung just doesn't have what I want.
I've had a wonderful Samsung tab for years and years now, a Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2" with 32GB. I don't use it for work much, mostly just websurfing and a few apps. (It's not connected to a mobile plan either; I just use WiFi.) It's one of the best devices I've ever owned.
Recently, though, the battery won't hold a charge. It looks like I can try to get a new battery and pop the back off to replace the old one. I imagine I can also reset Chrome (which might be causing the drain). Either of these steps will probably wipe out my browser history, right?
As for getting a new one, it doesn't seem like 12.2 was a popular size; almost all Samsungs now seem to be way bigger (which I don't need) or 10" or less (which is too small).
Anyone have any good advice here, either about the repair or getting a good replacement? TIA.

My favorite site for electronics reviews is Tom's hardware and their top rated Android laptop is a Tab with an 11.4" screen. This was reviewed 2 months ago so it is probably what you are looking for.
The only other alternatives would be an ipad or a Surface if you want a higher end tablet.

I've had an iPad and an older Samsung Tab. Didn't really notice a difference in either, but the Samsung seems to have died sooner. Stuck in between going the Surface/iPad route or trying to find a cheaper tablet again. My 7 year old Macbook Air is also on its last legs, but unsure how much I really need two different devices.

Just purchased the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 bundle from Costco for a Christmas present for the Mrs. After much research this is the one that caught my eye the most. It's got the keyboard, cover, and S pen.
