I have the 2019 version of the Fire 10 and I added the google play store (I didn't remove all of the Amazon stuff via the toolbox).

So, chrome, email, etc.

It's fine. Web browsing is a bit slow(ish) but everything works well.

I added an external Bluetooth keyboard and mouse which increases usability exponentially.

Mouse: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse-Windows-Tablets/dp/B00JUHDYSO

Email via google is just as you would think, youtube is fine, so it netflix.

I'd add a cheap pair of egghead headphones.

If I were you I'd go for the newest 10HD or the 8+ - they both have more ram than the older version. They're still totally underpowered by today's standards but they do the job for $200.

It's basically a good way to have a dumb terminal to email, the internet, and your song library, and it's has a good enough screen.

Actually I'd just go for the new 10HD - the 8 inch is just too small.

Once these become obsolete I highly advise you to check out superdisplay - basically turning a tablet into a second monitor for your main computer.

Logitech M355

Not that slim at all. If you want slim Logitech, take a look at https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse-Windows-Tablets/dp/B00JUHDYSO

The best mouse I've found is the Logitech m557. It's bluetooth, it's minimal, it's got the right, left, and center click scroll wheel, and it's cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse-Windows-Tablets/dp/B00JUHDYSO

I looked into MMO mice for editing, but I just could not get around the fact that they're huge and that they are wired.

As for keyboards, I've found that the original Mac Bluetooth keyboard is probably the best keyboard ever made. It's small, has great travel, and uses AA batteries (I never got the point of built in batteries - at some point they die, while external batteries never will, the buttons will die before you run out of batteries).

Or get something like this instead (it's $15): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ONMDYE

Basically it's the same as an Apple Mac keyboard, it's just made of plastic. It also has great connectivity via bluetooth. There's also a version for Windows...

I've looked at everything in terms of hardware for editing - from shuttles, to loupdecks, pads, to mice with 20 buttons, and nothing can replace simple hardware that gets the job done.

I always fall back on a simple theory - if you gave Jimi Hendrix a $100 guitar and you gave me a $5000 Gibson, who would make better music?

The hardware should be silent and seamless - more expensive or more extravagant hardware won't make you a better editor.
