    I love The Gadgeteer for years now and let me say my tablets have replaced my desktop and lap top. I take it everywhere I go, am never bored, have cellular freedom. I can take it in many places that have WiFi and it’s easy when I want to scan documents and photos and send them on the way. Yes, I try to follow your suggestions and frequently buy some. Thank you for giving away fun toys like this giveaway.

      I would really love to have this Huawei pad for an aunt who loves the Chinese opera, who is not tech savvy, so that she can enjoy the opera in full colour, superb sound, rich content without having to rely on those outdated medium of CDs etc. It would be a truly enriching and unforgettable experience for her thank you

    I don’t currently own a tablet. This one would be used for cave mapping with a modified Disto-X surveying tool. The Disto-X connects via bluetooth to input azimuth, angle, and distance data into a sketching app on the tablet where I can draw the cave map.

    Primarily for media consumption or things like wifi scanner, etc., when a larger screen is warranted.

    I really want to get back to taking handwritten notes, and need something with more “umph” then my current Nexus 7 (which sadly has developed a less-sensitive area in the center of the screen.

    I don’t know what I would do without a tablet! I don’t use a laptop anymore. I us a tablet for email, media, word processing, text messaging and pretty much anything else you could imagine.

    There are Apps for almost anything. My present tablet is getting a bit long in the tooth and would really be happy to get a new one!

    I use a tablet for casting instructional content in my instrumental music classroom. The iPad I use is quite long-in-the-tooth and this one (or a similarly fast one) would enable me to do EVEN MORE for my young students.

    By the way, I do subscribe already…and I “Like” the Facebook page.

    I would use such a tablet to replace my fire hd8 whose digitizer doesn’t work anymore. I used the fire to read kindle books, comics via comixology and to watch Netflix.
    I would also install feedly so I can read my several 50 or so favourite sites and blogs. This allows me to read gadgeteer as it happens instead of later in the newsletter summary.
    My last use case is to read tech books and other pdf files that aren’t from the Google store.
    I did subscribe to and read the newsletter but prefer using feed reader for daily access.

    “What ways do you use a tablet now or how will you use this tablet if you are the winner?”

    If I’m the winner, I’ll use this tablet as part of my smart home setup to control smart lights around the house. As well, I’d like to take it with me when traveling for general internet browsing. Furthermore, I get opportunities from time to time to use the Android operating system to test products and services (for a small fee) so this would be perfect!

    I use an old tablet mainly as what I call my “At Home” device. I find that while at home I typically prefer to use a tablet over my phone due to the larger screen. I normally read (and prefer) to read ebooks on my Kindle but I subscribe to magazines and prefer to read these on my tablet. Also, while in the house, I will use this to do most of my casual browsing on the tablet. I have a Roku TV with Hulu, Sling and Amazon Prime and use the tablet as my remote. I’m a cord cutter and have a Sling AirTV device. So I use the TV Guide app to determine what shows I want to record for the up coming week. I don’t have, nor do I want a TV in the bedroom but if I want to watch something in the bedroom, the tablet is an excellent device to use for this purpose. I use Pulse for texting and typically will use the device to continue on with text conversations. I also use the tablet to download movies and shows from Netflix and Amazon to watch when I go to the gym and connect up with my bluetooth headsets. I also mainly use the tablet while at home to keep up to date on my emails. I also use the tablet with other apps such as Facebook or playing a quick game of Word Stacks or even a Crossword Puzzle. While watching movies and TV I will very often open the IMDB app and browse through the information on the movie or TV show I am watching. I feel that I get the most out of my old tablet and would be able to put a new one to very good use.

    To be honest, though, I think tablets were intended to be used in portrait mode. I don’t know why android tablets above 8 inches suddenly are reoriented to landscape mode.
    Was a study done where it was found that human beings prefer a certain vertical distance beyond which they are uncomfortable? I recall the discussions around tablet design where certain large US newspapers were used as an example. How Newyorkers were found to always fold the paper to the size of a 7-inch to an 8-inch tablet that they could read one-handed. I think this informed the original design of tablets.
    I would love to do some hands-on study of a 10-inch tablet or have a discussion on this subject with some people who have. I think unless the orientation of the controls like camera placement and physical buttons require using the device in strictly landscape mode.

    I use a Pixel C tablet to watch videos on my commute. I also use it for Twitter and Instagram browsing, and light web browsing. I imagine I would use the Huawei for similar purposes.

      I do play a few games on my tablet that are just easier to play and more enjoyable on a larger screen. Most of the time, though, I use it to read older books that I skipped at the time they were published and are now out as ebooks that are either cheaper or free (yes I’m older than some copyrights). And it’s so much easier to read while eating when I don’t have to juggle a book in one hand at the same.

    I would present this tablet to my daughter who’s doing a diploma in process engineering (oil & gas) at a local university.
    She would be using the tablet for conveniently going thru the course ebooks and teaching slides during lectures, in the library, at the hostel as well any other conducive place with the right environment.
    She also would be using it to do online research as well as as a communication tool. The tablet would be of great value, importance & beneficial towards her academic success.

    I currently use an older Kindle Fire Tablet to read e-books to my daughter, watch some streaming video, keep tabs on my IoT devices and reading RSS feeds. If I’m the winner I’d use the new tablet in a similar manner however I’d now have access to the Google Play Store and be able to add some games that won’t run on the Fire.

    The primary reason I use a tablet is for entertainment during air travel. At home, I use it to read blogs, etc. – kind of like my magazines. A long time ago, I even used it in videos I filmed for my classes. It became the “picture in picture”.
