Used some airline miles to get one for me and one for my wife for our Christmas presents. We both love our tablets.
Upgrade for me from the Asus Transformer Prime that pretty much turned out to be a flop... A fairly expensive one to boot.
I converted my wife from an iPhone to a Galaxy S5 and it didn't take her long to want to replace her iPad with an Android tablet.
She recently knocked hers off our kitchen counter and it fell flat on the face of the tablet, and there was no damage. I try not to do stupid stuff like that with a $500 tablet, but good to know it is fairly durable.
Battery life is pretty good. I think they advertise 9 hours, but I would say it lasts longer with regular use. Charges back up pretty fast too.
Overall I'm glad I got them and hope to not need to upgrade anytime soon.
