PROS: Picture quality is actually better than anticipated. Battery life is as advertised. Pleasantly surprised how easy the Android features are to use as a computer replacement, no problems opening or operating various file types. Zero issues with Wi-Fi connectivity and build quality feels solid. Speakers sound fine for being the size of a matchstick.
CON #1: Google Assistant is finicky and not the least bit intuitive. Definitely not set up to work out of the box, mine still won’t enter Ambient mode when placed in the charging station. Numerous blogs out there by others having similar problems.
CON #2: Biggest disappointment is with the USB-C 2.0, turns out it is “only for power and data transfer”. Forget hooking up an external monitor or TV, even with a good quality converter/hub – simply doesn’t work. What’s worse, screencast also won’t connect if you use a VPN for remote streaming. Had I known there was no hardwire monitor connectivity, this likely would have been a deal breaker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very good tablet with a decent speaker and the Alexa integration is done great to control and view cameras
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] you have to follow the step by step setting up, otherwise everything would go wrong and having a hard time with it. not very smart friendly. and 5G wifi is a problem, not clearly selectable. battery life need to be improved too.
