Tried several different things, Chromebook, Amazon fire hd. Ended up returning them and have had this one a few months. Be sure to restart it occasionally, and it will go a bit faster, because it isn't the fastest device ever. The Chromebook is decent like this tablet, but it's not a laptop for processing power and it is the size weight and price of a laptop (buy a laptop). The Amazon Fire is okay but not if you want to use excel or productive apps. This tablet allows me to use OneDrive and Google drive, excel, watch YouTube movies (Amazon fire doesn't allow YouTube movies). This is a great compromise if you like to do a little work and entertainment without the bulkiness of a laptop. I will give the Amazon fire this--its super lightweight and lightning fast for entertainment... So long as that entertainment is Amazon.This is my recommended buy for a productive and entertainment tablet on the go. I do wish it was a bit louder sometimes, but headphones are a thing. I don't use the mouse and keyboard much, but they work well enough. The Android 14 is a win.
