At the core of the T60 Pro is a 13.4-inch, 1920 × 1200 FHD display with a very nice refresh rate of 120Hz. Compared to a 10-inch tablet, this display offers a very noticeable 34% extra screen reals estate. I do like tablets with large displays and fast refresh rates as they’re comfortable for extended viewing periods.

The display has also been TÜV Rheinland certified to emit only low-levels of blue light, offer high color fidelity, and a flicker-free image, again promoting eye health.

Also: I use this cheap Android tablet more than my iPad Pro (and now it’s only $100)

The brightness is listed as 350 nits, which is more than bright enough for indoor viewing, but if you’re using the tablet in bright sunshine, it does present a challenge. I’d prefer if it had the 500 nits of the iPad, but it’s a compromise that I can live with because I don’t use the tablet in very bright conditions all that often.

Yes, it's an "AI" camera.

The T60 Pro is also pretty capable in the camera department. The main rear camera is a 16-megapixel Samsung, perfect for social media, as well as photographing documents and such. On the front is a capable 8-megapixel selfie camera that does an equally good job with photos and as it does with video calls.

The tablet also comes with a bunch of accessories, including a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and a stylus. They’re basic but capable, and while I’d have no problems using them occasionally, if I needed to use them for any length of time I’d probably replace them with something a bit better is one of those tablets that falls firmly into the “good value” category. With it’s 13.4-inch display and budget processor, it’s not going to win any benchmark awards, and even with a list price of $360, it’s definitely worth considering by anyone wanting a large tablet. But right now, over at Amazon the price has been slashed by 39%, bringing this down to $220
