So because I play a lot of games and read a lot of eBooks then I would say getting my first tablet was pretty great, even though it was a midrange one that was just thrown in to the deal when I was upgrading my phone and I probably wouldn't have bothered otherwise
It was a Samsung A8 from 2019, had about an 8" screen and I used it mainly as a kindle and games device. The games I play are mainly strategy or board games, but there were certainly some games that you wouldn't necessarily think would cause a problem (Wingspan?) that would lag or crash. Since I review games it helped to have a second device to check things on, and a bigger screen is better.
Last year I upgraded it to a Samsung S8 which is a flagship. It's a 10 or 11 inch screen which felt more unwieldy though I'm used to it now. It can run more things. It's a really nice device. The screen isn't actually OLED but feels like it, the quality is amazing. It actually came with a stylus which was a neat touch. The screen is good enough that yes I have found myself watching more TV on it.
However, when people say 'productivity', I don't know really know what they mean by that tbh. I've got a work laptop for work. I've got my own laptop for other stuff. Do people mean drawing and things on tablets but that?
