This. I have a windows tablet, and watching all my shows in bed is great.
I'm seeing if I can stream games to it too, that'd be great.

Which one do you have?
bought a used first gen nexus 7, paid 50 eurobucks, flashed custom firmware with f2fs

Serves my purposes, you can probably find a similar one on aliexpress or something for cheaper though.

Graphic design

But mainly graphic design. I have an iPad Pro connected via Astro Pad on a hackintosh. Works wonders actually, it's a better overall package than a Wacom Cintiq.

I traded my ps3 for an Asus Vivo yesterday
Dont know what I want to do with it yet but I can flip it for more money or give it to my mother for her birthday.
I want to flip this bitch so bad Its a nice chunk of money.
I use it to read textbooks on the tube and take notes using onenote.

But it is, I can remove it from my computer and still sketch shit on the god. Pencil tilt is pretty decent.
There are a few downsides obviously, like it only working on OSX and the pencil not having additional buttons.
>>52704708
I didn't test it. It should work through astro pad. Their website says that the application was only tested on OSX 10.9. Will give it a try later.
Documents, chinese cartoons, web browsing, sometimes videos.

Because of my job, I end up too tired to turn on my PC, So I just end up do some of the stuff on it.
And end up sleeping while listening to some heart beat ASMR.
Also I ported some VNs that use ren'py to play it.

Mah nigga. I have the Pro.
>>52705830
damn, i want that one for using at home
how is it? is the projector nice?
Yes
Literally nothing, bought it new for 37 bux. Refurbished Tabeo, the failed toys r us tablet.
It's trash and though I got it rooted I did nothing other than install Debian on it and threw it in a drawer
I have a teclast x98 air II for almost a year running a custom android rom and w10
Currently I mostly watch anime while tucked in bed
Have battery life for like ~22 episodes in android
>>52705631
I'm sorry...
Faplet.
has largely replaced my faptop.
iOS fukken blows though. No native webm support, no way of hiding pics and magnified iPhone apps hinders my fapping experience.
Thinking of switching to something like a Dell Venue 11 pro so I can sell my laptop that's gathering dust.

>>52705846
I want more info on this too. How is the projector for small rooms?
>>52705917
why?
Read, consume media,
Thoughts on the Nexus 9? I was thinking of upgrading my Moto G to an 5x, but I'm thinking maybe I'd be better off with a tablet.
Can we have a list of suggestions for apps, Preferably tablet optimized apps?
>F-Droid for freetard apps
>Adaway to block ads on rooted devices
>Piktures or neutered Quickpic for images
>VLC or MX Player for videos
>Amaze file manager
>Opengur
>Clover
>Firefox for its addon support, Lightning or Naked Browser for their performance
>Games: 2048, Chess, Pixel Dungeon

dreadful trash, also windows on a tablet is fucking stupid (i have a dell venue 8 pro and i hate it)
>>52706070
It's a meme. Now that the Samsung tablets have AOSP there is literally no reason to get anything else.
>>52706117
>windows on a tablet is fucking stupid
And yet still far better than iOS or Android. Tablets are about the only thing Windows is good for.
>>52706070
expensive, dull, no SD slot
apart from the nexus name what actually makes you want this?
the way i see it the only reason to get a tablet is having a bigger screen (for watching videos) than your phone while you're traveling so it doesn't need to be powerful, just a good screen and good battery life
Pick your poison /g/
>8" tablets
>9.7" tablets
>10.1" tablets
>12" or more tablets
I think 9.7" tablets are the best for one hand use, after that they became too big and overweight for long peridos of time
>>52706140
How's Tab S2 then?
Nvidia Shield Tablet (32GB)
Play games, music at work, read manga.
>>52706159
8", any bigger and it's not pocketable
>>52706159
7" is okay I guess. Planning to get something 10" but holy shit there are like no good 10" android tablets.
>>52706182
How big are the pockets on your cargo pants?
>>52706165
Tab S is better than S2.
>>52706194
They went to full cheap bastards on new E, A and S2 series. What the fuck Samsung.
>>52706193
They're jeans. And before you ask, no, I'm not overweight.
>>52706154
go ahead and explain why windows is better than a mobile OS
i carry both an android and window tablet daily, windows is so un-touch freindly even at 1280x800 with low dpi. android power management is miles better and its objectively quicker and easier to use
>>52706239
I expect my tablet to do more than my phone. With that big of a screen a mobile OS would be a waste. Plus this way I can use real programs instead of smartphone apps. If I ever want/need something Android I can always just reboot.
>>52706275
Yup, I just cannot live without using FULL WINDOWS PROGRAMS like MICROSOFT WORD on my touchscreen tablets.
>>52706205
Why is the old S8.4 better than the new S2 8.0? I'm looking on buying the S2 8.0
>>52706155
You can find them for ~$200 now. I don't think that's too expensive for a tablet. I also stream virtually all my media so storage isn't really a problem.
The design, the updates, 4:3 aspect ratio, 9" screen is why I want it. I just wanna know if there are any performance issues, or build issues the tablet might have.
>>52706287
Yes, because a word processor is a good example of something I'd use on a tablet. The greatest benefit is using Opera 12.16
>>52706182
I think 8" is suited better for reading books and manga and 9.7" for comics and PDF's right?
>>52706275
ok but you're still not saying what you do on a windows tablet that you can't on android
>>52706308
Higher resolution. Better battery life. Cheaper. Aspect ratio (personal preference).
>>52706287
Word on android and iOS is pretty decent. New Samsung tabs comes with Office suite installed for ''free''
>>52706339
Use applications not intended for a fucking phone
>>52706310
>I also stream virtually all my media so storage isn't really a problem.
so you're saying you dont travel with it? you just use it at work/home when there's wifi?
>>52706154
>>52706239
androidfags, please leave.
>>52706367
such as?
sounds like you're in denial m8
>>52706375
Yes.
>>52706343
I can get one for 250e. I don't necesarrilly need a tablet but it's fine for travelling and shit.
Should I?
>>52706391
>i carry both an android and window tablet daily
guess you didn't read that bit
windows is fine for a desktop/laptop but objectively useless on a tablet
>>52706308
16:10 aspect ratio is better for media in general (videos and comics). 4:3 aspect ratio is better for articles and books.
>>52706407
I don't need specific examples, desktop applications are just better. I can't really give too many right now anyway, I haven't used Windows on my tablet in quite a while. It's got Windows 10 so it's basically being used as an Android tablet till I get around to installing Windows 8
>>52706422
so if portability isn't an issue i think you're better off getting a bigger tablet like all these new 12" ones
>>52702086
Yes I own the first gen iPad
I watch anime and movies on it
Also sometimes read comics, manga, and books
It's pretty shit for web browsing tho, today's websites are heavy as fuck so it keeps crashing all the time. My brother owns a mipad, it's great for everything
>>52702086
Yes nothing now that my phone is nearly 6 inches and my tablet is only seven.
>>52706454
>Use applications not intended for a fucking phone
>literally cannot name any
not really making a good case for your argument mate
>>52706495
>he thinks smartphone apps are better or at least equivalent to desktop applications
Please tell me you're not actually this retarded.
Since you're whining so much for a specific example, Opera 12.16 is all the reason I need
>>52706523
Please tell me what advantages Opera on a tablet has over a standard mobile browser.
>>52706535
Opera's browser on Android is just a browser. The browser on desktop operating systems is an application suite.
>>52706523
ok so what do you actually do with a tablet?
and why dont you just get a laptop if you're require a desktop os
>>52702086
Yeah got an Air for free, used to use it all the time for media consumption but now I have a 6s+ and I never need it.
>>52706555
Ok, then. Please tell me what advantages Opera Browser has over a mobile browser. Please tell me what advantages Opera Email has over a mobile email client.
>>52706560
I use it for browsing the web, checking email, watching movies, games, etc.
>why don't you just get a laptop?
I've got a few
>>52706582
>browsing the web, checking email, watching movies
you can do all of that with android and get better battery life
>games
what pc games are you playing on a tablet and how(controls)? do you carry a tablet stand, OTG cable and a keyboard+mouse?
>LOL
>>52706581
>Please tell me what advantages Opera Browser has over a mobile browser
Opera Mail
Opera Turbo
Tab stacking
side tabs
integrated userjs support
And a plethora of other features
>Please tell me what advantages Opera Email has over a mobile email client.
It's the best client, and an additional plus since it's integrated into my browser.
>>52706634
Firefox Mobile has full addon support.
Read comics.
>>52706632
>you can do all of that with android and get better battery life
This is assuming that every single thing I use on Windows is available on Android. That is false. Also yes I can do most of those things, but 8 hours of battery is more than enough so I could't really give less of a shit. I'm not going to use shittier everything software-wise just for additional battery life I don't need
>>52706646
And what about Opera Mail, Opera Turbo, tab stacks, etc.? Firefox on the desktop can't even do this shit and you expect me to believe that the Android version can?
>>52702086
Black Samsung Galaxy Tab 4, 7 inch for movies and Facebook and shit. White iPad Air for work.
>>52706632
>games and how
Some work fine with the touchscreen, others I use a DualShock 3 controller
>>52706669
>Opera Mail
You still haven't explained how this is better than any other email client
>Opera Turbo
Get better internet you fag
>Tab Stacks
Firefox has had tab grouping for a while and features like those are only for autists who have a need to keep 20+ tabs open at a time for some retarded reason
>>52706099
>Monfey
Keep track of what I spend
>NewPipe
I use it for the background play
>Medscape
I like to refresh on some subjects before I go to sleep.
>Minecraft PE
To waste some time
>>52706680
>not naming games
a tablet isn't powerful enough to play many worthwhile PC games
are you aware of how autistic you look setting up that shit to play games? where are you even doing this?
>>52706717
>>52706680
>>52706669
>>52706708
>You still haven't explained how this is better than any other email client
Actually I did
>and an additional plus since it's integrated into my browser
All that really matters is I prefer it and it's not available on Android.
>Get better internet you fag
It's a tablet you fucking dipshit, it's mainly used on mobile Internet
>Fx tab groups
It does, and I prefer Opera's implementation.
>>52706732
I'm not your personal search engine, if you want to know some games that play well on a tablet fucking google it yourself.
>are you aware of how autistic you look setting up that shit to play games?
Do you think I'm even remotely close to giving a shit?
>>52706771
>integrated into my browser
What the fuck does that even mean? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. An email client is an email client. A web browser is a web browser.
>>52706771
claiming its better=/=explaining why
>>52706794
Yes, mail clients are mail clients and browsers are browsers, Opera is an Internet suite that has one of each.
>>52706810
It being built into the browser is enough to make it better. Not to mention that as a standalone client it's still better than any other. If you're interested in why you're free to look into it.
>>52705846
>>52705966
It's pretty good for what it is, a 50 lumen picoprojector. I was happy using it in a dorm. The room better be treally dark though.
>>52706833
How is being built into the browser an advantage? I seriously can't imagine how long you have to spend reading emails for whatever inane features of Opera Mail that you claim are advantages to even matter.
>>52706868
My browser's always open, with that there's no need for a mail client to run in the background. Normally when emailing someone it's clicking a link from a webpage, why leave my browser when I can have the necessary tools built in? It's convenient as fuck and shows up as a tab, so you can switch between your mail client and browser tabs without ever switching applications
>>52706857
does it just mirror the display or is it app specific, i could never get an awnser for this question
what do you make of the new model? (smaller, different projector mounting point, etc)
>>52706471
Yeah, but those things are expensive as shit. I'm looking for price/performance balance.
>>52706916
Switching a tab and switching applications are pretty much the EXACT same thing. Your screen changes to something else.
>>52706942
No the whole browser stays the same, just the content of the page changes
>>52706916
you like stuff being built into a browser and you think that makes it better
lol do you own a chromebook too?
>>52706965
How is that any different in practicality than clicking a link and having an email application open?
>>52706971
Certain things being built in definitely make it better.
>do you own a Chromebook?
Only because Google gave it to me for free
>>52706998
You've just got to try it, it's a far superior way to browse the web. I've already explained it's advantages and you're just not catching on, this argument's not going to progress till you try it firsthand
>>52707028
No you haven't. Think of a web browser and an email client, instead of being separate applications, being "tabs" of the operating system. Now explain to me how your situation is any different.
>>52706931
I've only ever used it for watching my Chinese cartoons so as far as I know it only mirrors the display. I see the new model as more of a sidegrade than a true upgrade. I remember checking specs and the projector being slightly better along with a slightly better processor. Build quality is probably better though; the cheap plastic back can flex on you. 13.3 is pretty nice for manga/comics.
>>52707044
I'm done, I've spent more than enough time telling you advantages and in the end I find it to be superior, which given I'm the one running the application on my device, that's all that fucking matters
>>52706760
In what why?
>>52702144
This
>>52702086
I have a Dell x86 tablet, don't remember its name. I actually don't do that much with it because I have a laptop and a tower PC and I just don't know what I should use the tablet for.
However, I'm always thinking about getting either an iPad mini and/or that ridiculously cheap Amazon Fire tablet. Don't know what I'd do with those either.
>>52702086
Nexus 9
Watch shows, play some mobile games, shutpost on 4flan.
I have project fi, so it's basically an extension of my phone
>>52706191
Nexus 10
>>52702086
Tablets are dead, in our store some people buy chinese android tablets with Frozen or Disney logos, but is another dead technology.
I have an old nexus 10 still runs like new and a beautiful display.
I use it mainly for music and films.
>>52707215
I don't think that the technology is dead, there's just no reason to buy a new tablet once you have one. Bought an iPad in the last couple of years? It's still good to go. Got some Android tablet? It works just as well for watching videos and looking things up on the Internet.
High-end x86 tablets like the Surface line are something completely different though and are laptop competitors. Who knows how that will turn out.
>>52702086
Linx 7 with Windows 10
Shitpost, stream steam
>>52703402
>I don't really need a new one but I want one.
Isn't that the case for most tech?
>>52707055
all of my jelly
i saw one priced to clear at something like £270 and i came so close to buying it, i regret it now
>>52702086
Android tablets are terrible : 800 x 480 screens, 4GB storage and weak cpus.
we, /g/ prefer ipads with retina, but the average normie is poor for pay $1000 USD ipads
>>52707402
Here's your (You)
>>52707402
>comparing $10 chink tablets to $1000 iPads
My Android tablet has a 2560x1600 OLED screen which blows any fagPad out of the water.
>>52702086
>Nvidia SHIELD tablet
Mostly it's for games. I have the controller and an HDMI cable to connect it to my TV. I play emulators on it (mostly psx and gba) and I have a few Android games (every Final Fantasy Android port, Wayward Souls)
>>52707369
tech these days is so good and our needs are so simple that nobody really needs a new tablet/phone unless the old one breaks
>>52707402
Sorry come back when your retina display has as high a res as my nexus 10.
>>52707430
which tablet is that?
i really want an oled tablet
>>52706936
I bought a Nexus 9 for home streaming use and couldn't be happier with it. Until 6.0 landed I had some very noticeable slowdown after a few days, but that's not an issue anymore.
I was happy paying $300, $200 would be a steal if you ask me.
>>52702086
iPad Mini 3
I use it to shitpost, watch porn, and watch films in bed
Never had a tablet before. Thinking of getting a really cheap one from amazon with a 7 inch 1024x600 IPS screen for manga and youtube in bed/on the train. I can get it for just less than 50euro. Is that resolution at 7inch doable?
Are there any good tablets for $100 or less?
>>52707700
No. I had a first gen Nexus 7 with a 1280x800 resolution and it was terrible for reading books because you could count the pixels on each letter.
The second gen at 1920x1200 is ok but not awesome.
>>52707726
I've got a Chuwi Hi8 and it's a great tablet, Windows 10/Android dual boot, but I'd wait for the Chuwi Hi8 Pro if you go for a Chuwi tablet, maybe it's out now, I haven't really been keeping up.
>>52703368
I'm an hp rep and even we don't bother trying to sell slates
>>52707885
Darn. Any Chance it might work out for manga? There's less words on page than a book.
Too bad there aren't any tablets with good screens that don't cost as much as a laptop here in euroland.
>>52707985
No chance.
Go for one with a great display. High resolution and good colours
>>52707985
i had a 1st gen nexus 7, have two 2nd gens at work. i loved my gen1 and read news on it daily, gutted than i managed to smash it.
the fire 7 is cheap, very cheap.... but i'd reccomend a used gen2 nexus 7 over it desu
>>52707985
Or just a nexus 10 mine is a little power house and has been working through multiple drops for 2 years now.
>>52708048
>>52708055
Well shit, any reccomendations then? Can't get the fire 7, since Belgium is apparently the only country in the world that amazon doesn't sell its tablets to. Nexus 7 is pretty expensive here, I can't find one under 180euro at first glance, and that one has a scratch on the front. It doesn't have to be 7inch by the way.

Nigga what are you doing with your life

I would say do your homework for a while before committing.

i've got a lenovo yoga tab 2 8"
i like it but had to clean it up and make it less like a wannabe ipad
desu a cheaper lenovo tablet is probably fine too, what are you going to use it for?
iPad 3 I've had for 4+ years.
Shitposting, anime, pron.
Battery is still great, 3-4 days moderate use on a single charge.
>>52708180
movies and manga/anime. That's basically it, I really don't need it to do anything else.
Yes, masturbation.
>>52708196
what size screen do you want/need?
>>52708196
I would go for 10inches if you are going for movies.
>>52702086
I have a 1st gen Kindle Fire. I want to root it, but I'm scurred. Maxthon browser kinda sucks, so I just use my laptop. I have a few books, I really need to get some more and read more
I have a nexus 9, i mostly like it. For some reason some of the software support is rubbish though, despite having a slightly better processor than the Nvidia Shield.
I don't know why tegra shit isn't supported on here.
Would love a keyboard for it, but the official folio case is too pricy. Any decent cheap ones?
Should have gotten a tablet for Xmas instead of a new phone. Caught myself playing so many games, bet it's much more comfy on a tablet.
>>52708274
Dunno. I've never had a tablet before so anything is fine right now. I'm using my PsVita right now, and that has like a 5 inch screen. It's just a bitch to actually put files on.
>>52702086
Read books, watch films and porn.
>>52708461
you said you're going to use it at home, i reckon a 10" is what you want
>>52708534
at home and on the train, actually.
>>52708405
It is, depending on what games you're playing
Go a Galaxy Tab E second week in january. Returned it a week later, got a Asus 2-in-1 chromebook for 10 more dollars
It is beautiful (tried installing Crouton today and it failed)
>>52708568
Deffo 10 inch then. Trains ain't shit but sitting.
>>52708648
*got not go
>>52708568
still 10" sounds good
i'me a fan of the lenovo tablets, nice aesthetics and usually facing speakers+SD slot
a samsung tab is probably fine too if it has those things, just install another launcher either way
>>52708661
>>52708664
Allright, 10" it is then. Anything else I should look for, certain specs?
>>52708568
Galaxy tab E or A 9.6" would be good for you
>>52708682
front facing speakers (anything else is worthless)
SD slot for chinese cartoons
1080p display (anything higher or lower is worthless)
Porn, movies, comfily editing docs, shitpost and jewtube.
>>52707985
I'd still aim for higher res/pixel density.
Nexus 7 2013 is tolerable, anything with lower res is not.
>>52708737
Well I got a nexus 10 much higher resolution. But I prefer to watch movies quite close laying on my back so the higher resolution helps.
>>52708791
I am pissed off that I didn't get a SD slot though but at the moment I have not needed it yet.
>>52708791
are your movies above 1080p?
i'm guessing not

Before buying a tablet search for accsesories
I sold my LG G Pad 8.3 because I couldn't find a stand, a screen protector or a case.
Tablets NEED some type of stand, even if it comes with the case.
>>52708807
I dunno I just download them...
Hahahah nah I am really serious I don't look at the resolution of the films because I do also use Netflix and other streaming sites as well as downloads that look much better.
>>52708838
Binder clips.
>>52708866
Do they work while you are in bed and the tablet is on your chest? I assume they can scratch your tablet too
>>52708838
that's exactly one reason why i love my yoga 2 so much, built in stand
not an accessory that uglies it up as an after thought
What's a tablet that will respect my freedumbs, /g/?
>>52708927
iPad Pro 128GB 3G Model
Then flash Lo/g/os on it and sing the free software song.
>>52708957
>sing the free software song
Which has DRM. That OS is bloated.

Is there even any tablet shipped with Linux yet?

bruh
>>52709119
Android is literally a modified Linux, autist

>I miss tablet interface edition.
I own few, with variable degree of satisfaction.
Lenovo Miix 2, 8'. As far as tablets go, this is dreadful. Desktop windows is a failure on the go and inherent design flaws, mainly being cheap and thus underpowered means that in comparison even to shitty tablets running on android, it fails.
As a portable windows device thou..I've needed replacement for aging EEE 900, Miix delivered that in even smaller package than netbook. 3/5
Nexus 7, first gen. Sold it sometime ago, before it's storage started degrading. Awesome device, great battery life but lack of sd card slot meant it had to go.
>>52704788
>yoga tablet 2
I've got first gen myself, I am probablyspoiled by kickstand enough that I won't be buying any other tablet in the future. Also, picoprojector.
Cheap 10' and 7' tablets that hang on walls and act as security monitors/weather stations. Cheaper than dedicated solutions and in a pinch can act as normal android devices, albeit poorly due to low specs.
HTC Shift.
My main mobile device when at uni. Awesome form factor, laughably resolution and high hipster factor but also great typing experience.
>>52706159
8" is sweet spot between portability and screen size for me.
10' is acceptable if in 4:3 form factor.
12' are great when used in living room as multimedia hub or, in case of Galaxy Note,poor mans graphic tablet.
>>52706492
I've been using Notes since first gen and still find tablet useful for some tasks. Then again, I find typing on tablet a form of primitive torture so it is mostly media consumption/games. But that is only me and there is something to be said about carrying only one device around.
>>52707263
What he said. I've cycled through few tablets myself, found Yoga line and now I feel no need to upgrade just because next gen device popped up. Same deal with phone, Note 3 is still more than enough for new software and in raw power comparison.
>>52707482
Samsung is usually a safe bet here.

Is an 8 inch lenovo yoga tab 2 a good deal for 150 euro?
>>52709504
>>52702086
Movies, mostly from devices memory but lately some netflix too.
Games. I literally bought android tablet because of portable editions of Bioware games and emulators. Some native titles are awesome too, Uplink or banner saga to name few.
Manga and comic books. No reading, cheap 5' e-ink reader for that.
With BT keyboard, notes taking solution for uni.
And usual stuff, mails, web, navigation.
>MFW pic related, Lenovo Yoga just slides into mx-5's dashboard.

>MonHun on a tablet.
How is it as a hunter game? As dreadful as expected?
>>52708838
Yoga. Just buy Yoga.
>>52708901
This here is just the right type of "innovation" market needs. This shouldn't be a one device only feature, alas, stupidly high resolution is a thing now, ergonomy, not so much.
And I want my physical keys back, dammit.
>>52709723
i paid £150(€197) for mine and i'm happy with it
i'd say go for it! :D
>>52709842
>i'd say go for it! :D
now I'm seriously not sure if you're fucking with me or not.
I want a tablet that:
>is not samsung
>bigger than 8'
>android lolli
>good screen that has or can use on a precision/hard tip stylus not that cheap rubbery end ones (i need it to use Sketchbook Pro
>cheap as possible, even chink tabs will do
sorry for the weird descriptions. I don't know about tablets. I have only used a Galaxy Note8 in the past for a bit.
>>52706165
>touchwizz
nexus 7, original kindle fire, and newest kindle fire.
Only bought the nexus, and it's pretty much all I use. Just watching garbage to go to sleep is about all I do on it.
Is there a worthy upgrade from the nexus 7 gen2 that in the same price range? Everything similarly priced seems like a downgrade.
>>52709878
What's wrong with it nowadays?
>>52709873
Wait until new Galaxy Tab A comes out, they come with an S-pen now but they have 766p resolution
>>52708194
What do you classify as moderate? I have the $50 fire but rarely use it cause it has a a couple hour battery.
Are those chink cases any good, or is it better to go for something more official
>>52709967
but touchwiz bloat and $$$$?
i am not rooting. i want to go vanilla.
>>52709868
not fucking with you at all i love mine, the stand is amazing, i couldn't do without it
>>52709967
it says here it is out. also yes the s pen on note8 i used was GOAT for my purposes (sketchbook).
>>52709967
>>52710159
€309... god damn...
>>52702086
browse on bed.
that's the purpose for me buying a $600 tablet.
>>52702086
Surface 3 (non pro)
Drawfagging and laptoppy things with it. My rMBP is hardly used anymore because of how fucking shitty OSX has become. Also love that it's netbook sized.
>>52710310
i want one of these too, how is it?
>>52709955
Literally everything
>>52709868
Proof i have one

The keyboard takes some getting used to, although the keys are a bit more shallower than laptop keyboards, it has real satisfying clicks which helps with typing speed and accuracy. The trackpad is exactly like a Mac trackpad, it's just smaller so you pretty much have to enable tap to click.
The screen is absolutely top notch, it is made by Panasonic and is tested to be one of the most accurate computer displays ever made by Displaymate.
For drawing, it is very decent. It works absolutely perfect when you do long, fast strokes, the cursor is always exactly under the pen tip. It does suffer when drawing diagonal lines slowly, which doesn't affect the way I draw. Palm rejection is alright, you can turn off finger touch if you only want to use the pen with the display.
>>52710532
desu i wouldn't use it for drawing, more of a laptop replacement. i RDP a lot for work so having that option seems good
>>52710507
>>52710507
It's cool, I was just wary because of the emoji. I'll trust your assessment that it's a solid tablet, other reviews seem to concur with you. I just have to figure out if I want to spend 150-160 euro on what's going to be a glorified manga reader.
Bought a Nexus 7 for cheap a little over a year ago. I've got more than my money's worth out of it, it's nice for web browsing and watching stuff when I want to be away from my desk.
>>52710532
How's gaming on the X7? Obviously nothing intensive, but i love the thought of playing stuff like Endless Legend, Darkest Dungeon, Shadowrun, etc. on one.
>>52710558
I'd personally just use a regular laptop for what you're doing, because it looks like you wouldn't be taking advantage of the tablet features. Because to be honest, using Windows as an iPad-like tablet kinda sucks.
>>52710619
The most intensive thing I run on it is Skyrim, Low-med settings at 1280x800, plays at 35-50FPS. The Atom X7 is pretty potent considering that it's a fanless chip and it doesn't throttle at all in contrast to the shitty Core M chips that Intel made.
>>52702086
>Do you have a tablet?
Original release iPad
>what do you do with it?
PornPad for the most part. It does video surprisingly poorly.
I did buy an iPad 3, but my family has pretty much taken over it.

>Mobile gayming
This mofo right here
browse the internet
read books and comics
watch videos
play pre 2006 games
Aside from the BOTNET, windows10 works great.
>>52711039
what is this?
>>52702086
Lenovo Tab2 A10-70L
Honestly it's pretty fucking great, no ugly android skin is a big plus, 2GB of ram is plenty for normal use and it has a 1920x1200 screen.
I use it for
fap
shitposting
browsing the internet
watching youtube in bed
>>52711322
>Lenovo Tab2 A10-70L
looks nice.... but rear facing speakers, really?
>>52711354
>Lenovo Tab2 A10-70L
Not him but have the tablet. Sound quality is generally a bit shit, but I'm completely baffled by the RF speakers. You can barely hear it unless you put the tablet next to a wall.
Other than that it's a solid device. I mainly just use it for watching TV shows on public transport and YouTUbe in bed, got a couple games but they usually play better on my iPhone.
>>52708838
>tablet with a stand
Just get a fucking laptop. Tablets are meant to be used in your hands.

They say 8" is the best compromise for portability vs readability for manga. I don't know specifically for hetai and doujin though.
>>52706140
>>52706310
Don't listen. Scooped up a nexus 9 lte for 250 plus works on project fi.
Anyone use a bluetooth keyboard with their droid tablets?
While the on screen is fine, it'd be useful for making notes.
>>52712055
Have you ever considered using one of those fancy devices called a laptop?
Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1"
Designated Clover machine. I don't even know why I still have this thing.
Kobo Aura H2O (it's a tablet, right?) 6.8"
Reading books and mango
Thinkpad X200 Tablet 12.1"
Everything else.

thats it. i use it like 15 hours a day pretty much everyday. yes i'm a neet
>>52702086
I've got a Nexus 7 2013 that I picked up for $130. I pretty much use it for all of my surfing and reading. It's not much slower than my pc, to be honest, and much more comfortable.
I use my old nexus 7 2013 running cm 12.1. It has gotten old and there is a weird line on the screen where it is starting to give out, and the screen is a fingerprint magnet, but it is comfy though
>>52712852
>>52712922
same fag
>>52712949
We're not, though. Nexus 7 2013 is just popular, and for good reason.
(Typed on my Nexus 7)
I'm also running a Nexus 7 2013 until the new Shield tablet comes out sometime early this year. I read books, watch movies/youtube on my commute, shit post on /g/, chromecast, instagram etc. A lot of people talk shit about tablets but I use mine everyday for a lot of stuff so, meh.
>>52713003
ya what he said

kindle fire that I used to use for school
I don't even remember where I put it
