The screen is really good. But there are some caveats.

High end tablets adhere the screen to the glass overlay, causing the display to appear to be right on the surface of the screen. I forget the name of the process. Anyway, the NuVision doesn't do that. The difference is miniscule and the screen still looks great. But it lacks a little of the pop! you would get from the same screen in an iPad, Surface or Samsung tablet. (I believe the screen is literally the same screen used in iPads. I believe that is mentioned in the thread I link to below.)

The battery should be bigger. The tablet will last you all day, but I noticed my Lenovo lasts a lot longer.

The capacitive Windows 'button' has a blue LED behind it that just looks cheap.

The biggest one is that the tablet comes with Windows 8.1. I upgraded it to Windows 10, but when you do, the tablet is missing a file called TouchSetting.gt. Without it, after upgrading the Z and X axis on the touchscreen are reversed, making the tablet nearly unusable. Once you add the file back, everything is fine. You can find the file on the TabletPCReview website. I'd recommend reading through the thread to see things good and bad about the tablet.

I'd recommend reading through the thread I linked to. One user there has a fix for the upgrade problem I was talking about. Some folks complained about yellow blobs appearing on the screen, but I haven't had any issue like that.

I paid $90 for the tablet and I have no regrets. It's not a Surface. You probably aren't going to be running Photoshop or high end games on it. But it is a very nice tablet for the price.

Now that I have both screen sizes, I have learned that comics look better on a 10.1" screen than a 9.7"
