I bought this for my 3.5 year old after Samsung decided to end their kids+ application (which bricked the Samsung Kids tablet she had previously). Personally, if I had an older kid, I would get a Windows OS, but for my little one, I wanted to be able to load all the apps she had on her old device while introducing the mouse and keyboard.Pros: it's fast, has plenty of memory, seems pretty durable. Every app I've wanted for her has been compatible, with no running issues.Cons: I wish they would make a rubber case to put on while it's in tablet mode. We are only using it at the desk as a laptop, because I don't at all trust it to be drop proof (because it says right in the description you can break it if it hits the power/volume buttons). A rubber case would make me feel a lot more confident about it.Also, there are quite a few apps that don't recognize the mouse/keyboard configuration and go straight to touchscreen. I wish everything worked without having to use the touchscreen. That's more of an app development issue than with the particular device, but it's something to be aware of if you're planning to use it like a computer more than a tablet.Overall, I'd say this is a solid choice for a younger kid. Having access to the play store is the big draw over something like the fire tablet, and it's a lot more affordable than an ipad.
