Being a senior newbie in ownership of the first tablet ever, I really like this tablet. I've had it now a month and being disabled, I have been using it faithfully every day for many many hours per day. Since I've never had a tablet before I can't really compare it to another.
But, there are a couple of issues I have been having and don't know if this is normal behavior for a tablet or not.
First issue that is really bothered to me is that after watching a lot of videos from streaming most of the day that suddenly the videos start getting "choppy." This means that I'll be watching a video and it hits a snag and stalls briefly and then starts up and continues to do this nonstop. It gets so irritating that I have to stop watching videos completely and turn the tablet off. No, this isn't a WiFi buffer issue. I have a similar issue with my flat screen TV because it's not a Smart TV, and it's older. With the TV, though, I'm lucky if I can watch more than a movie before the subtitles go off sync with the video and have to restart. I'm suspecting that the video stalling issue might be other than the tablet, but don't know for sure. But, I'll have watched videos most of a day before this stalling starts to happen. Since I can't be certain if the issue is with the tablet and not the streaming service, I give the benefit to the tablet.
The second issue is with the video selection on the tablet. I'll have the screen with a bunch of squares of different videos to select from and when I select one on the screen, it responds by opening up something completely different that is on a different part of the screen. Again, I don't know if this is a tablet issue for sure, but it is a little annoying when I'm trying to decide on what I want to watch next and something else pops up that I didn't select. Also, when I'm watching a video, the tablet doesn't respond always when I touch it to pause it. Again, don't know if this is a tablet issue or not.
BUT, I love both the video and audio quality of the tablet. I got the tablet for the purpose of watching my streaming videos and it's been a wonderful experience. One thing that really pleasantly surprised me was the audio!! Absolutely fantastic! It's like having surround sound when watching videos!
I got the case to go with the tablet as well and it's really nice. It took me a bit to adjust to the case in maneuvering it in my bed when laying down, but it's satisfactory. After all, these things aren't really designed with the disabled in mind. But, it is a nice quality case cover for the tablet. I have a few cats, so the case cover protects it very nicely against their tendencies to lay atop the tablet. It's a good protection for falling off the bed when I've fallen asleep!
So, for my first experience with a tablet, this is great. Makes me wonder what took me so long to buy one!
