I had this now for about a couple of weeks. My old tablet was a Galaxy 10.1" and often got left behind at home when out and about due to size and weight. However this suits my needs, i.e. Drone monitor, Navigation, in short it does everything I need it to do.
Battery life is quite good and I feel the 8" screen size is perfect to accomplish most everything. Hence going from 10" screen to 8" has been pretty painless for me although the screen clarity leaves a little to be desired for.
