    I purchased this for my 9th grader to use in class, because the both the in-person and remote learners are using Schoology to do their work. It paired easily with a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, has excellent battery life, and a very good display. This tablet is nowhere near the quality of it's $600 big brother model, but it gets the job done. Stream Netflix, Hulu, and etc is crisp and smooth.

    Bought this so my husband could use it while in the hospital. However, it was time consuming to get set up. The need to use a password everytime it goes dark in order to get in again is a pain. Can't find how to get rid of that requirement. Can't just clear one of several apps when they are open. It is either close all or waste power and time and frustration getting to where you actually want to be. Works nice as a camera. The security software that came with this package deal will not download as the specially required download software that it needs to actually download does not exist on this tablet and I have no idea which of the multitude of options is the correct one or what they are and my attempts of reaching Best Buy so called Help have gone unanswered as there is no way to reach them.

    I bought this for my son to use so he can play games and watch videos. The quality of the picture is not bad for the price and the speed is okay. If you are looking for something that is high speed without delays this is not it. If you are looking for something for a kid to use and the speed isn't of concern then it's a good buy. It does take a while to load as well when you power it on.

    That tablet is nice overall. I bought an external SD card for it to extend the memory. However, I can't find a way to move apps to the external card. The SD card doesn't show up as an option to place downloaded files to the SD card during download. I have to go in later using a File Manager app to move files from internal memory to external storage. The tablet itself functions as you would expect.

    Spouse needed a new tablet to replace a 7 year old Nexus. The Samsung-Galaxy Tab A with 32GB and easy to use served the requirements well. Best Buy had a pro salesman provide us with the details and explained the in and out of the Tab. Unit is extremely fast and allows a 526 GB SD micro card. We are extremely happy with this purchase and the price was fantastic. Recommend for anyone wanting a quality computer tablet that is quality build, extremely fast, with excellent memory and processor.
