Bought this on discount. Definitely worth the price at the point. With the S-Pen and the good usability of the tablet, I find it very useful for browsing and doing minor edits in Google Docs, etc. The battery life is pretty decent, and the screen and sound is pretty good for watching videos. Better than the Kindle 10 fire.
So if you only want to watch videos / browse and not do much else, buying a Kindle 10 Fire on discount is probably a better deal. Though if you want to do more productivity stuff, the S-Pen that comes with it is very handy. There are plenty of affordable and sturdy cases for this device that will also hold the pen.
In terms of speed, it works fine. But if you've used an iPad Pro, you will notice it has more of a lag when loading new web pages. Not enough to matter, but to be noted if you're used to the rapid loading speeds.
Upon initial device setup, there's a lot of software updates, etc. which makes the lag more noticeable until they're all done.
Finally, you can also consider the Samsung FE tablet, which is more premium table for more money. I ended up sticking with this one, not because of the price, but because that one is about 20% heavier, and this lightweight tablet made it so easy to carry and use. Also, there are sometimes trade programs to get the FE tablet. If you use this one for a few years, then pay a little bit to get more for a new FE tablet, then it's an even better deal. But you can't go wrong with the FE tablet now too if you're in the market for a more powerful device.
