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

That's a good point about one good tablet lasting as long as multiple budget ones.

I figured since it was next paper 4.0 that it would be similar to the TCL11+. There the experience is fine. It looks great and really seems to be suited for reading. I think it has a slightly faster processor and two gigabytes more of RAM, so still underpowered, but at least it's not awful like this 8-inch tablet is.

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.
I got it for $45 since I'm a existing total wireless customer the tablet plan was only $10. It's been great since I only wanted it for books and manga.
There are a couple of issues. 1) Facebook app keeps getting disabled after restarting, 2) Nova launcher crashes when trying to change icon. Tolerable issues, but can be annoying. Even at $85 instead of $45, this is definitely worth it for me. Thinking I'll get more to replace the kid's Samsung S7 tablets (no longer getting OS upgrades) and their color Kindles. Let's see how the battery life will be before pulling the trigger.
