Many apps (think STEM) are geared toward touch-enabled devices which makes for a superior experience for kids. Sadly, kids are keyboard/mouse inept.
For adults relying on cloud services, a larger screen equals greater productivity.

Alternately to install an office suite locally, there's OpenOffice which is established, usable software.

Thank you! I was one of the folks who asked last time this was on special. To purchase for this very reason. Because of file collaboration and some other issues cant use open office when working on word files.
Thanks again for posting link.
This is a great device except for the processor. And here's why:
1. If you stream music (such as yt music) in the background and reload a tab, the music stutters a lot. I tried this by closing everything else (all except these 2 tabs).
2. Play Store video streaming apps flicker if you have it as resizable (anything not phone/tablet).
3. None of the Linux apps I tried even loaded (although installed fine).
I tried all of these with the least use of other resources (kept all other tabs closed).
The screen and other aspects about the build are great and I returned after a long time debating with myself especially since I only paid 150.
