Customers are satisfied with the Tab Extreme's vibrant OLED display, praising its size and quality for media consumption and overall functionality. The included keyboard is also a highlight, with users appreciating its quality and the added benefit of screen protection. The large screen size is noted, though some acknowledge its impact on portability.
Two-port gimmick: The reason I bought this tablet other than it being a tablet is its unique two ports where one is just a normal port for charging, data transfer, and video out. However, the second port located near the corner can also do display port-in. Meaning you can actually use its large OLED display as screen for various devices. I used this as a portable monitor for my Steam Deck which actually works immediately out of the box if you directly connect it with cable that comes with the product. Unfortunately, using this method drains the battery of the Steam Deck as the tablet charges itself when connected. There's an option to disable charging when connected at the settings, but I don't know if it actually works. As I have no way of verifying. To bypass this problem, I use a dock with an HDMI slot and a HDMI to USB-C adapter that is Uni-directional (signal is reversed) to output the Deck's display and sound. Tablet: As for the tablet itself, it works well as one I suppose. It runs Android so you have access to Google Play and install .APK from outside the appstore. The 14.5" screen doesn't get bright enough for outside use and the reflection will easily hinder whatever you can see. The downside for how large the screen is its no easy to handle with one hand as you have little space to use as a handhold on the sides with its thin bezels. I bypassed around this by hooking my hand underneath the magnetic stand, I'm surprised this actually works out well enough. There were a few times that the magnet detached itself from the tablet due to my mishandling, but it works in a pinch. Keyboard: The keyboard that comes with it acts as its screen protector when folded which nice. Doubly so when it already comes with the tablet and not a separate purchase like some others. The keyboard is decent. Short travel but you need to be deliberate with your keystroke which in my opinion is a plus as one cannot just accidentally press a key that you're not aiming for (most of the time). Trackpad: Can't say if I like or dislike the trackpad it comes with. It works but sometimes it finicky, especially when trying scroll up or down. I hypothesize that there's an input lag between switching from touching screen to track pad. The Pen: Now here's the only black mark I found so far on this product. Which is why I dock 1 star for this review. When I first use the tablet, the pen connected itself easily with the tablet and works immediately out of the box. The main problem is, after installing updates and transferring my data. I noticed that the pen is not charging, at all. I have left it on its slot for days and nothing. Even switched it around the other way just in case that was the problem. But, no. It didn't charge. Now I have a pen that is dead weight. Luckily, my use case for the pen is limited and it will not affect my usage with the tablet. But it's unfortunate that this happened. Conclusion: I did not regret buying this product as a present for myself. With is its large screen and the accessories that come pre-packaged, I'd say it's worth the price of admission, however; I do think it's not as bespoke or premium as the other companies flagship tablets.

Very nice Tablet. It's large so you have to take that into consideration if you need something more portable. It has plenty of power and looks great. Love the fact that it comes with a keyboard cover and pen. Other manufacturers need to take note and stop fleecing their consumer base.

I usually get budget devices, so this tablet really blew me away! It is lightning fast with everything I throw at it, and the screen/8 speakers are great for media consumption. 100% recommend!
