I am a musician and have been using digitized sheet music on and off for a while, but didn’t want to keep my more expensive iPad in my horn case all the time. Fair enough, this isn’t the fastest tablet out there, but at 1/10th (or 1/20th) the price, I would never expect it to be! I’ve connected a bluetooth keyboard and been able to do basic word processing, emails, and some spreadsheet work without any problems.
Basic games with graphics work just fine. Streaming isn’t a problem and video runs well on this tablet. Connectivity is great so far via Wi-Fi at multiple places even without the strongest signal available.
As for the primary purpose which is displaying sheet music, this tablet is perfect! Pages load quickly, touch is responsive for annotations. My other concern was draining a lot when not used. After about 6 days in standby mode in the horn case, the system only dropped from 88-85%.
I used a generic screen protector, but am thrilled that they have the molded clear shell with a trifold cover available from their store. Bought that as well and do not feel a need for other cases. I will likely soon buy a second which can be used with an app to display two pages at a time. Very pleased with the display quality.
