2 in 1 laptop/tablets yay or nay, what do you think /g/?
pic related(asus t100tam running windows 10)
I like them, okay for some use cases
Yay from me.
I've got a ASUS T100 Chi myself and it has never been easier to take one of my own machines to work and to clients.
Go rwby
>>51855534
>Having worst girl as your wallpaper
Step it up, anon
>>51855597
my favorite show
>>51855611
you shut your face anon, I have most of the rwby character silhouette wallpapers(all that I could find)rotating every 30 seconds, just happened to take this picture while on weiss
>>51855666
At least take the Weiss pictures out of the rotation
>>51855767
why? weiss is one of my favorite characters from the show, qrow, ozpin, ruby, yang, blake, nora, pyrrha, jaune, mercury, etc... are all pretty good too, but right now weiss is my favorite.
>>51855807
Shit taste confirmed
>>51855813
y u do dis anon. also, if Weiss isn't the best character, who is?
Transformer is a cool design, but linux support is a mess and I haven't seen any recent android models.
>>51855820
Because it's the truth
>if Weiss isn't the best character, who is?

>>51855832
yeah, I thought about installing linux on it, but some important things like power management, battery and rotation sensors, etc... are not yet properly supported :/
>>51855839
yeah, ruby is pretty good too, I just prefer weiss because the silhouette wallpaper I found had a black background :^)
now that you made me think about it, my overall favorite character is Qrow, his choice of weapon is just amazing ::^^)) (pic related)
god damn it, picking a favorite character from a show with so many good characters is hard
>>51855534
Nay. Only shit tier facebook desu senpai normie faggots use tablets because press button get facebook. Step your game up newfag.
>>51855872
nice b8
>>51855885
>implying its bait
welcome to the weeb thread, brought to you by /g/
>>51855534
I like 2-in-1's for the simple reason that they are super portable and usually have extremely good battery life, like the t100tam has almost 12 hours of screen on time on 1 charge
I'm not sure about how newer models hold up, but the Latitude XT2 is really something else.
>matte touchscreen with pen digitizer (built in pen caddy)
>not überHD but not 1366x768

>rocker on side of screen, in tablet mode can be used for turning pages in PDFs, scrolling, etc.
>>51856556
old as fuck tho :^)
>>51855839
>not Blake
Normies get out
Anyways, I have a t100 tam myself and frankly it feels like absolute shit on 10. It keeps running out of ram, generally running slowly, and just fucking up completelt
>>51856650
Still a beaut
I just picked up a dock, mSATA SSD, and 4GB RAM (5GB total now) for mine
I'd like to have a 2 in 1 useful using Debian.
Is this possible, /g/?
>>51856668
>Blake
as I said its either Weiss, Winter, ozpin, nora, pyrrha or Qrow
>>51856668
only problem I have with 10 on it is that if I dont set it to hibernate on lid close, the touchscreen will stop working, only way to get it back working is to go to the device manager and disable-enable it.
but I just hibernate on lid close and it works okay
>>51856697
yes, its usable but some features like auto rotate might be missing depending on kernel version and drivers
>>51856670
I prefer that the keyboard is detachable so I can carry only the screen, so its more lightweight
>>51856718
Do you have experience with particular model of 2 in 1 on Debian?
What hardware was it?
I'd be even interested in programming some sort of UI for Debian to be usable on tablets and 2 in 1.
>>51855534
i had an android version of one of those asus transformers
i've also used a few windows tablets
what i've learned from this is that in a tablet i want android (no need for a keyboard) and what i want from a laptop is windows (stupid without a keyboard).
if i had to have one and only one machine then i'd be tempted by a windows 2 in 1 but not fully sold because the specs tend to be a bit rubbish
>>51856733
I tried debian, ubuntu and arch(I know its a meme distro, but in this case the "bleeding edge" was actually useful) on my Asus T100TAM
all worked about the same, only a couple small things missing but completely usable.
>>51856762
well, my t100tam has enough power to run 32bit windows 10 and office/web browser/vpn/remote desktop, so its enough for me, I love it for its size, weight and battery life
>>51856724
Well yeah but then you just have a tablet with a keyboard. This is a laptop that doubles as a tablet. I have an 8" tablet for when I want a tablet
>>51856825
choices my friend, choices.
>>51856773
what cpu/ram/gpu?
could it run decent emus and source games?
>>51856844
the t100tam is an atom based machine with integrated graphics and 2gb ram, its more of a lightweight computer than a gaming machine
but on windows 10 it does manage to run minecraft and candy crush, so I doubt source games are an issue
OP here again, for some more power needing tasks I also have this dell e6220 with i3 and 6gb ram and 120gb ssd
>>51856860
see this is the problem, those specs are more fit for an android tablet, no good for windows
atom cpu's are junk (i've owned and used enough to know)
2gb is simply not enough (i'd want 4gb)
they usually have some old fashioned integrated graphics that are also junk
How often do you guys use the non-laptop orientations? I'm debating between a 2-in-1 and a regular laptop right now and I don't know if the hinge is a gimmick or what
>>51856915
as I said earlier in >>51856773
"t100tam has enough power to run 32bit windows 10 and office/web browser/vpn/remote desktop, so its enough for me"
no android tablet allows me to run OneNote or M$ word desktop versions, or use any other windows applications
>>51856940
ok but then what benefit does it have as a tablet?
why not just get a small laptop with more ports and better keyboard etc
>>51856994
it has a touchscreen which feels easier to use from time to time, it has long battery life, good keyboard, lightweight, small and cheap, also I can detach the keyboard and hold the tablet in one hand and draw in onenote with the other when taking notes while moving
wish they made affordable 2-in-1's with good battery life and good performance
>>51857564
good
cheap
choose one
this applies to almost everything in life
aka you get what you pay for
>>51857597
but... but... senpai, I want good for cheap, that's why I buy old enterprise equipment refurbished :3
>>51857772
lel want some old dell shit?
>be sysadmin
>be up to my eyes in old machines and peripherals that nobody wants
told to throw it all away, despite it all working fine
>>51857859
how old, and what kind of "shit"?
>>51857963
workstations (doesn't match our system image, not going to make a new image for like 5 machines)
mice, keyboards, possibly other things (would need cleaning after all the tards in my offices dribble and eat over them, which is basically why they're for the bin)
>>51857963
>>51857994
dell optiplex 745, so around 2006 i think
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_OptiPlex#Models.2C_in_relative_chronological_order
yay
2-in-1's are 11/10
>>51855534
I like X220T type convertible laptops and I own one X220T but I literally hat when they add a keyboard to a tablet! I absolutely hate it!
>>51855832
Android isn't a viable option.
There is an Ubuntu install that I've looked into for my T100, but really all I needed to do was put WIN10 in performance mode and its sailing away.
>>51857597
Actually, it applies to very little in life I've found:
It's a good, low overhead way to safeguard yourself I suppose; but for virtually any product there is a lower than premium cost alternative that offers the same, or nearly the same advantages as a premium option.
In certain cases, the less expensive option is actually definitively better than the higher priced competitor.
Try not to think in terms of binary choices. Shades of grey, not black and white.
>>51856940
You actually use One Note?
>>51859411
the T100TAM does it pretty gud
>>51859481
linux on it works okay, last time I checked couple things weren't working (volume buttons, orientation sensor, suspend, backlight adjustment)

How comfy is this for reading manga and making documents op? My 15 inch laptop is getting too bulky
I wish they made a 2in1 (tablet with keyboard dock not the flippy laptop kind) that wasn't a shit tier 1366x768 screen.
And no surface pro doesn't count since it's not a keyboard dock.
I also wish keyboard with clit mouses were more common. Fuck that trackpad bullshit.
>>51860224
pretty gud(pic related)
>>51860261
yeah, that could be pretty gud
>>51860261
The satellite click mini has a 1920X1200 IPS display and comes with a keyboard dock
>>51860341
unfortunately I'm in burgerland so getting this would be a slight chore.
I'd prefer to purchase new.
Thanks though.

VAIO Duo 11

>>51860384
Too bad it's not exactly a tablet.
I do like it though and because it has a clit mouse I wouldn't have to plug in a wireless mouse. Trackpads hurt my wrist after like five minutes.
I do really like this, thanks anon.

>>51860578
I prefer ones that can actually turn into a tablet
>>51860578
this design is precisely why microsoft failed at starting the tablet movement
Fujitsu T904, I like writing notes and stuff in class.
I'd prefer something like the Surface Book so that I can use just the screen portion for notes; but I'm graduating in May so I can't really justify it. Maybe I'll get gen 2 or 3.
>>51860879
good choice of keyboard ;) (notice keyboard on the right in >>51860323)
>>51860177

>>51861340
Got the same tablet OP, pretty comfy for light use
>>51861478
yep, I mainly use it to take notes, browse web, write documents and remote controlling my other machines
>>51861340
>>51861453
Is that from that stuff /co/ keeps trying to pass off as /a/ material?
>>51861510
Yeah, i got it for taking notes in uni because I didn't want to spend 1000 on a laptop and it's surprisingly comfortable

Answering my own question:
https://imgur.com/a/M5SPu
>>51862031
here is the one I used, pretty gud quality
Ordered one a few days ago during M$ deals, it has an N3700 cpu. Hope it's smooth to use as my dell venue 8 pro is just way too lagy for shit. It's an acer R11, 4gb ram (bought 8gb upgrade) and 500gb hdd (bought 120gb ssd upgrade), coming in the mail tomorow
>>51862179
keep us updated anon, cant wait to hear how it performs ;)
>>51862196
There's honestly only one video of the N3700 in use that i found on youtube but it looked smooth. Since it's a new brawswell i hope it's good enough.
>>51862218
the Intel® Bay Trail-T Quad Core Z3775 in the T100TAM is enough for light use, so I doubt it has any issues
>>51855534
Any transformes with mad good screen? I need IPS highdpi, cpu does not matter as long as it's x86/x64
>>51862861
probably the t300

i wanted one after i got to use a yoga pro for work but i quickly realized that I could get a capable windows tablet with a small Bluetooth keyboard which is much more comfortable to use as a tablet, and a more powerful laptop that's much more comfortable to use as a laptop, and have extra money left to upgrade my real computer.
they're nice but I don't see why I should bother when I can have two devices that are better in every way for less money
>>51855597
Inst that a show for womyn?
>>51855534
lets play OSRS buddy!, stats?
What's a good notebook I can get that has a good battery life and can be used for light gaming (source games being the most powerful stuff I would ever play on it, got a desktop for real gaming it's just for on the go)
>>51855534
My X201t is pretty awesome with a good IPS multitouch display and i7 CPU
RWBY however is a meme cartoon made by a shameless weeb who can't animate anything not a fight scene. Now that he's dead I'm still surprised people continue to watch it with its terribad voice acting and literal MMD tier models

>>51873936
they live too close to the commie nations to be trusted with anything and should be hit with nuclear weapons once again

I set myself up with an i3/HD4000/11.6" Thinkpad Edge E130.
Runs games like Spintires fairly well, and with dual SSD's in raid1 Windows and programs start rather nicely :)
I can't honestly think of a reason to go for a 2-in-1, unless you want Windows in a tablet and are willing to sacrifice any performance.
>>51874135
I like the tablet mode since I dont need the performance and its useful in certain situations
and the T100TAM charges through micro usb so I can use the same charger for my phone :3
>>51874135
Some people don't need performance out of a mobile device. I replaced my laptop with a tablet because of this. Lighter weight, better battery life, smaller, etc.
I can't speak for everyone, but I mostly use my tablet for reading and watching movies / shows. A little more power would be nice but not at the expense of battery life.
>>51874135
It's cumbersome to use a laptop by standing, but folding my laptop into a tablet and using that is not
>>51874145
>>51874155
>>51874166
So you guys just repeated what I said :P
Glad to hear you've found devices suitable to you, and like 'em.
>>51874184
you didn't talk about the micro usb charging ;)
>>51874184
No I didn't, I'm talking about a laptop with a special hinge, not a tablet with a keyboard. There is no power sacrifice
>>51856868
Wallpaper?
>>51874406
this, but slightly edited and higher resolution, cant find the one I used right now.

No.
>a real thinkpad
The 230 is the only one of equal performance and physical size, but it costs two to three times as much here as the edge did :^)

It's a tablet with a keyboard you dipshit
>>51875222
its a laptop with a detachable keyboard you dipshit senpai
>>51875392
So it's a tablet.
>>51855534
I have a machine like that (T100TA). The touchpad on that thing is garbage (keyboard is nice tho), 2GB RAM is cutting it tight, Intel Atom CPU and IGP is okay and can handle some "graphically intensive" games like Oblivion and Spore at 15-30FPS.
>>51875405
its a 2-in-1
>>51875414
yeah, the trackpad feels a bit small at times and the buttons feel awkward, but I mostly use the touchscreen anyways
>>51875424
Yeah, a tablet that can also funtion as a laptop
>>51875435
its a laptop that can also function as a tablet
>>51875452
Laptops have the screen mounted on the keyboard. There are laptops that can function as tablets, and tablets that can function as laptops. You have the latter.

Been looking around for a 2-in-1 since my laptop is starting to fall apart
Or maybe just a tablet + stand + keyboard/mouse if that's cheaper
I do a lot of walking around and note-taking, planning and lots of organizing - usually with the classic pen and paper but need to upgrade soon. I also spend lots of time at the desk where I write, code, and do homework. Those small keyboards for the 2-in-1's look pretty uncomfortable for programming and long writing sessions, although I haven't really tried one one. Can the T100 handle programming and business applications?
Alternative - are there any POWERFUL tablets with 2+ USB ports for around $300-400? Surface pro or Acer Aspire seem like my best bet.
>>51874526
>>51874528
>using the smiley with a carat nose

power management still working? or rotation/backlight/wifi?
I've bought this glorious Chinese surface clone:
http://techtablets.com/cube-i7-stylus/review/
I think they actually used the Surface 2 screen/digitizer. Stylus works fine, and it's pretty fast. Keyboard dock is also quite good.
Gets a bit hot though, but the Core-M is actually really fast for a fanless chip
