    Things to Love
    • Large 17″ screen
    • Includes wireless mouse, keyboard, and carrying case
    • Expandable memory
    Things to Consider
    • Short battery life
    • Fine for just sheet music use but doesn’t work well for more intensive tasks like mixing and recording

    Is the IView 1760AIO Apollo Lake Worth It?

    If you’re just looking for a basic sheet music reading tablet, this is everything you want and more. However, if you’re interested in recording and mixing your music on your tablet, this isn’t the best choice.
