Trade-in any phone or tablet in any condition to get $50 off and then sign-up for texts/emails for an additional $30 off. The OnePlus Pad is currently $80 off and you get a free Magnetic Keyboard ($150) or Folio ($30 - I don't recommend).

The multitasking features don't really work as well as they seem to think and aren't as intuitive as you would hope.
No WiFi 6E which I was surprised to learn it didn't have for a tablet released in 2023.
It feels like there are no unique features or licensed apps that make great use of the marketed accessory. When you buy a tablet that comes with a stylus, you would expect features built into the OS that are custom tailored to the stylus or art/scribbling/note taking apps that come with it for free. The keyboard cover perfectly accompanies the tablet physically by how it acts as a cover and snaps on the tablet. But apart from that, it's just a keyboard. Not much is offered in the way of consuming the Android experience with a custom keyboard.
The OnePlus Pad comes with OnePlus' OxygenOS software built on top of Android 13. It's a lightly customized take on Android that mostly relies on Google's implementation of things like multitasking. The company is committing to three years of OS updates and four years of security patches on the Pad, both a year less than what it provides for its phones.
So not a great update length. I'll probably pass on this due to the policy.

Other than that, seems like an awesome deal!

Correct, but as a free add-on that needs to be checked. The quote is directly from the tablet product page.

I didn't think no OLED would bother me at all but I find myself wanting to watch stuff on my phone instead.

Yes an iPad will be double or more and last double or more. I love my iPhone yet I love android more.
Sure Samsung hi-end galaxy tablets are the best. Low end Samsung are garbage.
Bottom line - this is the perfect midrange tablet. Can handle fast games. Yeah oled screen would definitely be sweeter but that would make it more expensive and I would buy a used Samsung galaxy tablet in fair-good condition instead. Aspect ratio is meh. I wish it was 16:9 instead of boxy iPad style. But I got used to it.
Got mine for $400 no keyboard. I guess the keyboard is a plus especially if you're a college student - I don't need the keyboard and you have to trade in a tablet for this price - the only deal here is the free keyboard.
Oh and the Google pad is also par with this, kind of. The Google pad has a speaker charging stand which is awesome but the OnePlus is faster.

Okay, be honest: How fast is your internet and what router do you have?
802.11ac averages 1.3Gbps. This has 802.11ax, which averages 1.6Gbps.
Are you really exceeding that bandwidth on a tablet? It's enough to stream 8K, let alone 4K.
As for the stylus not having any "defining" software that comes with it... the iPad doesn't exactly come with Procreate preinstalled either.
If you want more nudges on software to use that you'll probably end up wanting to replace, get a Samsung tablet with S-pen.

Unless you are uneasy with the trade in process (ive been ok for many devices), that is the better deal by far.
