Edits added at the end.
I'm not convinced about that charger or the tablet having fast charge at 18W. When I plugged it in to charge it it told me it was going to take just a couple of minutes under 1 and a half hours to get it from 47% to fully charged. I timed it and it took an age at 3h and 15 minutes. I'm going to drain it now by watching movies and CZcams etc to see how long it takes to drop to 0% and then charge it back to a hundred to see how long that will take.
On setting it up from new fresh out of the box it said it was going to do an update. Took about ten seconds to download the small update package but to install it took about twenty minutes. At one point I thought it had locked up but luckily it hadn't.
The screen is nice if you look at it straight on but the viewing angle isn't very wide before it darkens up. When in portrait mode it is visibly darker towards the top of the screen if you hold it like a book. The same if the tablet is angled down a little it gets darker at the bottom So you need to have it facing right at your face for the very best view.
EDIT 1... After using it until it went to zero and switched itself off I put it on charge again. I used the supplied wire and charger. I left the tablet completely switched off.
To get to 50% it took about hour and a half. To charge in total from 0% to 100% it took near enough 4.5 hours. It seems that it's quick enough to reach 50% but after that it's like it gradually slows down and towards the end it basically trickle charges until full.
In of itself that's not really a bad thing because it's not putting a lot of stress on the battery so the battery lifetime should be longer.
Also the charging indicator on the tablet screen gives no mention of fast charging, it's just the regular animated big battery thing when you tap the power button to see how much charge has been done.
Tomorrow I will be back with another edit to let you all know what it takes to drain it to 0% because I forgot to take notes today.

How is the sound quality?

[@MrEvilWasp]

@@sepp752 The sound isn't too bad actually. Maybe could do with a bit more bass but a graphic equaliser can help with that. Stereo separation is pretty good. One thing I will say is it's loud. On half volume while watching a movie was plenty loud enough for me.

How's the battery

[@MrEvilWasp]

@@triplefurious618 The battery is still going strong with no permanent percentage loss. I don't often let it drop below 20% or charge it up to much more than 80% to keep it in good condition.
