Ideal for Watching Videos, TV or Internet / Too Heavy to Read E-Books

Works Great! The 10.1 inch screen is great for watching videos or live TV. It has 2 speakers on the bottom (most small tablets only have 1 speaker). It has as big a screen as you can get without buying a laptop. I already have an older 8" Samsung tablet from 2012. But when I recently subscribed to You Tube TV, I was told that the old 8" tablet's operating system was incompatible. So I had to put You Tube TV on my phone temporarily Download and stream the video to TV via Chromecast. But I didn't want to keep using my phone for You Tube TV. So I bought a 10" tablet on sale. I could buy a new tablet with a smaller screen compatible with You Tube TV. However, what impressed me the most about the 10 inch tablet is that it has "TWO SPEAKERS" on the bottom just like my old 8 inch tablet. Do you know what the difference is when listening to videos or music? I can set it up on my kitchen table, turn the volume down halfway, and watch TV while I cook. My best friend has a 9.7 inch Samsung electronic tablet with a single speaker on the bottom. He has to turn the volume up to max to get the same volume as me at half volume. I'm surprised people don't pay more attention to the speakers when buying a tablet. I take my 10.1 tablet to the office and of course watch live TV (headphones) while I work at my desk. The screen resolution and colors are perfect. The screen is so big that you don't have to squint intensely to look at it. Google Maps. Facebook fans will love the big screen. when viewing photos and videos. Cons: This is just my opinion. For reading the downloaded books I will continue to use my old Samsung 8" tablet. I feel much better holding it in my hands when I read. For reading books I find the 10.1" Tablet A too big and clunky. It is uncomfortable to hold in hands for long periods Cons #2: Opening apps On a 10" tablet, I was frustrated at first when I tapped an app to open it. Eventually I found that I have to lightly touch the application with the middle of my finger for it to open (on my old 8" screen I can touch the application in any way and it will open). The 10.1" seems a bit trickier too be when you click on the app. All in all the 10.1" Samsung is a very good tablet. For me the 10.1" is primarily used as my video tablet for You Tube TV, Hulu and Netflix serve. But for reading books I will continue to use my 8" we il it is easier to hold it with one hand.
