Would you recomend this tablet?

[E398]

My question is simple, since my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 is having unfixable issues in the flash memory, i need a replacement with nice S-Pen capabilities. The note 10.1 was very nice for streaming videos, drawing and taking notes, i mean even for a 2014 model it still holds up today, the only downsides are the dev scene is very small and i despise Samsung security measures. Is this tablet a worthy replacement? I mean i've read people complaining about cracks on the touchscreen, if this is a common issue i'm screwed up since this tablet only has its market as an import. Also the dev scene looks small, but i guess i can go with that, i just wanted to be able to root (maybe magisk?) remove a few bloat, customize a little bit and that's all. Share your thoughts and recommendations here folks.

As a matter of fact, I had troubles rooting mine. There was a continuous FC in the keyboard. So i've tried to go back through my nandroid backup, but the tab was in bootloop. So, I finaly decided, for first time in a loooong time, to remain in a non rooted device (even locked bootloader). And I have to say that the tab is doing fine! I'm in love with it. But if you really want to root and change some things, there are more firendly devices than this one...

Oh my goodness this is sad, i had the same issues on my old Galaxy Note, constant FCs all the time. I really enjoy the concept on the Yoga Book, but it seems like it is not getting much dev attention and i'm probably going to try to avoid if possible having to stay OEM with lots of bloat, without adaway and as well trying to optimize the whole device! Magisk doesn't work on YB? Do you happen to have any suggestion on a more friendly to mod device?

There are not lots of bloatware, I should say. Just about 4 Lenovo apps to be used with the digitalizer pad, to make the most out of it, and not bad at all. And it's own launcher (that makes sense to give use to this very special device concept, but it's not much configurable).

You can't use Xposed if not rooted, of course... Using TWRP (not installed, but sideloaded) is easy, as it is to unlock bootloader for that. But for me the nandroid restore didn't worked. For other people, it did, as did the rooting by means of Magisk. Perhaps my problem is that my tab is a spanish one, not basic English keyboard. Not sure if that makes sense.

So, perhaps you could be lucky, but I cannot say for sure. And probably Xposed is not working, since it's not an ARM core, but and Intel Atom X5 whats in...

Then... You have to decide. For the Yoga: I really like it, it's what I needed, and the price I got it by on Black Friday was really nice. But it's a very special device. Yo can go for a Samsung S3 Tab, but's more expensive, and with no keyboard, but probably more developed (noy by Samsung, probably, but by XDA devs).

Or think on a Chrome book with touch screen, or a Transformer laptop (or a Surface), but then using Windows (which I don't use, I'm a linux guy).

Sorry not to be able to say anything more...

I see the YB1-X90F is the same that i have available around my region too. But thank you for your responses at least i got some information on this device now, i will check the S3 tab.
