Despite mentions that this tablet is slow, glitchy, et cetera, I have found none of those problems with my own. As the CNET review mentions, there is a slight hiccup if I am downloading something at the same time I am trying to perform other tasks, but this was as an app was completing its download, and happens to me on other devices. One second of a hiccup that results in having to re-type a word is not enough for me to classify a device as "slow" or "laggy."
The kickstand is phenomenal; I can sit it in any number of directions. I find that propping it up so that it is slightly angular and rests like a keyboard affords me an impressive ability to type (I used Microsoft Word to do this).
The screen is beautiful. Streaming Netflix and YouTube are fluid and the sound is outstanding for this tablet. You can go into Dolby Atmos and alter your settings to favor music, movies, or customize it to your liking. I haven't tried it yet, but I haven't found the need to because I liked the basic setting.
The color this camera affords is exquisite. It captures light even in the dark and reflects it back accurately, and it has an impressive little editing app built into it. Additionally, the rotation of the camera is very fluid and very cool. While video chatting, I was able to show my mother the entire room I was sitting in without getting up.
This tablet is fast and easy to handle. Apps such as MS Word work beautifully; I was able to type fluidly and found myself never wanting to dig out my laptop again.
I've attached pictures of when I first received it (the orange background), post-customization, and two different poses with MS PowerPoint and MS Word active to show their functionality. I don't know about games by Telltale and other high processor apps, but at least one game I played (Sims FreePlay, one I always try on a new device to check functionality) ran quite fluidly.
The battery lasts a long time. I charged it yesterday and it is still full, after running YouTube, Kindle App, Sims FreePlay, and general Internet browsing throughout the day. Overall, this tablet is beautiful to look at, comfortable to hold, and convenient to use.
I willingly acknowledge that some have issues with their devices which cause the product to be useless and/or frustrating, but I purchased mine new to be safe and to ensure I had no difficulties with user protection or prior damage and for what it costs, it is more than worth the price.
