It's the perfect little combo
I'm in love! I wanted something that I could use in quite moments when I didn't want my full laptop. I have used it in the evening and mornings when I want to check my email or finish writing a proposal. It's compact enough that I can type with one hand and the voice controls are amazing. I also love being able to taking notes on my kindle books as I do research and now I can easily put them in OneNote.
I have an iPad with a keyboard case as well, but this is just a little easier to use for things like watching a TV show while I work on something. Plus it is lighter weight. The keyboard weighs a lot more than I thought it would, but the fire is lighter.
I would 10/10 recommend this for anyone who just wants to curl up in a cozy spot and get a bit of work done.
I also relealize that it is excessive to have an iPad Pro, Mircosoft Surface Pro and a Fire, but the Fire was well worth the money. Its as if my iPad and Surface had a baby. I would suggest the fire as a great alternative to the ipad if you are not doing anything that reqires a lot of processing power. I would also recomend it as a way less expensive option to the Surface if you aren't going to game and do a bunch of annotations.
I do wish it had a smart pen and a way to house it with case.
