The only reason this could be a good deal is that, based on past experience, the tablet might come unlocked. YMMV

My main reason for doing that is what it syncs progress between my ereader, my tablet, and my phone. Its really nice
Edit: just checked and the tablet was recently released. Honestly surprised since they went radio silent after the first and only announcement years ago, until now, apparently.

I've been looking into the NxtPaper devices since they popped up on my radar. A couple things one should be aware of before buying in...
TCL has used the same anemic processor on all of these NxtPaper devices and has no desire to change that. There's even a new NxtPaper tablet on Kickstarter right now and it still uses the same ancient CPU.
TCL has never sold replacement nibs for their various stylus models. Last I heard, the official word from TCL is they have no plans on changing that in the future.
Caveat emptor on this one, folks.
This was the reason I would hesitate to jump on this. TCL tablets are slow as heck like onn tablets. 6gb RAM isn't going to cut it either. The storage is abysmally slow. Things take a tad bit longer than needed to have a decent experience.
I got the 10" deal from last month. I think that was a decent deal. But I not using it as much as I thought I would. The screen is nice, looks to be the same coating as Apple nano display. But the tablet is underpowered garbage.
Also this is what TCL dos. They put out the absolute least amount of crap and repackage it year after year. I am worried how they are going to suck the soul out of the Sony electronics.
All this may be true, but doesn't all of this fit the price point? Can you get a similar tablet with better specs for the same money? I'm asking genuinely, as most of the comments here complain about it being slow like budget tablets. But isn't it a budget tablet? I'm asking because I'm looking at the 14" for sheet music use.
