I've had the tablet only about three weeks, I bought it partly because I wanted to understand the android operating system so many of the challenges for me so far are ramping up to this. Pros: very good sound, as noted, better than my laptop; bright display, sharp enough for this type of device and so far the picture quality is not an issue but could become one; good battery life (will no doubt decrease with age so gotta start out good); updates firmware and maintains system well; nice to have HDMI port, pne reason I chose it.. Cons: construction as noted, very easily leaves fingerprints and marks; very sensitive screen, and hard to hit right button sometimes; only manual I could find online is for Memo7 so not quite the same. Its a pretty new model sop info will hopefully increase. Overall I'm happy with the choice.
