So many problems...3 Nexus 7 2013's later, still having issues. (Wi-Fi/Touchscreen)

So, I'm trying to get a Nexus 7 (2013). My 2012 is slow, and I'm a big fan of the 7" screen size, not wanting to go any bigger. The first one, the center 1/3 of the touch screen (a vertical area going from the top of the screen to the bottom) didn't work at all. Second one, no wifi at all. Third one (the one currently on my lap) has a combination of the issues. There's a 1 sq cm area where the touchscreen doesn't work, a stuck pixel, and wifi disconnects every time the device's screen turns off, then won't reconnect until a reboot.

I know there's some hardware issues with this device, but my god, really? Two used and one "new" and I haven't gotten a good one yet? I've tried running other roms to fix the wifi issues, no go, stock works best (which is still not well). I've tried the touchscreen fixes located on here and YouTube, I haven't tried any self-help repairs for wifi yet.

Should I keep trying? Give up? Other than the Nvidia Shield I can't find another 7" tablet that's as fast as this one. I bought a 2015 Kindle Fire, but it's as slow as my 2012 N7 and has a worse screen.

Any help would be appreciated!
