After searching for years for a tablet for my music, I finally took the leap and purchased a Chuwi Hi13 (Win10) a couple of months ago. The full package (tablet, stylus, attachable keyboard, free shipping) cost right around $400 on AliExpress. I also purchased a 128GB microSD card for the MobileSheets library which, as of now, is over 2300 songs (all PDF). After the initial startup, the tablet had about a day's worth of upgrading to do to get the OS up to date.
So far I have been very pleased with how MS works on this tablet. The screen is 13.5" and amazingly clear (resolution: 3000 x 2000). After trimming the white space on the edges, the music is actually larger than on the original printed page.
The CPU isn't that powerful but I only use the tablet for running MobileSheets (displaying PDFs only in portrait mode), so the CPU isn't a problem. One time I was creating a lot of setlists and typing in the setlist names started to bog down quite a bit. So I simply closed out MS and restarted it again and it was back to normal. Battery life is about 8 hours (for now).
Maybe I'll be so lucky as to get an AirTurn pedal for Father's Day!?!
So I would recommend looking into the Chuwi Hi13 for all you old farts with bad eyes! However, the Hi13 is the ONLY Chuwi MODEL I can recommend because all the other models have lower resolution screens.
