Good value for money

I bought this tablet to use as a Windows computer when I was travelling. (Rather than carrying a 17-inch HP on a plane.) It replaces the older NextBook. Fusioin5 has a good screen with good color gradation. The tablet's overall speed is as expected and the internal storage has good access times. The "Pro" version has enough space on the C drive (I'm using about 35GB of what was on the tablet, plus Excel, Word and eM client. I have a 64GB card as a drive for OneDrive , added music and photos.) I also added a bluetooth keyboard lying around. I've used my tablet in both Zoom and WebEx over a fairly slow connection (10Mbps) with no problems. (Poor performance when using WebEx is the main reason for replacing the NextBook.) It was also funny that Cortana from the UK walked me through the setup (until I turned it off). However, this tablet is not perfect. The "Instructions" is pretty much useless if you've used a tablet before. It seems very generic and doesn't even show where the various ports are on the tablet. Yes, they're labeled on the tablet, but some descriptions would be helpful, such as what size cable is needed for HMDI (Answer: Mini-HDMI (HDMI-C TYPE), NOT Micro-HDMI (HDMI-D TYPE)) or whether the headphone jack is a combo mic/headphone jack. And what is the largest memory that can be put in the micro SD slot?(64GB worked, 256GB didn't.) Biggest drawback is the sound: mono and muffled I'll probably use an external speaker (I already have a conference microphone ). Music is very difficult to hear. Would it be so difficult to add stereo speakers under the grille? Also, there is only one USB port plus one mini port. I use a powered USB amplifier, a USB mouse, a conference mic, a passport drive erk and a mobile phone, no problems, but a full size USB drive would be useful. As a result, this tablet is a Cooper MIni, not an Aston Martin Vantage. It is able to do what I need at a very attractive price.
