JFMSU

This crap is fucking useless. I already have a 5.5" phone and there is nothing for which this tablet is better. Quite the opposite, Windows 10 on tablets is fucking retarded. It thought it would be so cool to use a desktop-class OS on a tablet, but in fact it's clunky and clumsy and also retarded. This user interface is fucking horrible.

I think it's possible to install Android on it, so I'll try in the coming days. But boy, does Windows 10 suck.

I just wanted a tablet on which I can casually browse the web and read an ebook from time to time. This Windows tablet fails these simple tasks.

Windows tablet: At least you can run normal desktop apps when you need to, even if they do go a bit slow -- and they won't be all that slow if you got a Surface Pro rather than a $100 chink special.

Android: More apps available than anything else, though a lot of them are ass. But if you want to run desktop apps you can do some weird chroot magic and run a full Ubuntu desktop when you need to.

iOS: Want apps from outside the appstore or pirate versions of apps? Want old versions of apps because the newest one broke shit? Gotta jailbreak. Want to load music onto it? Use a proprietary program. Need a desktop app for something? Too bad, have a "touch optimized" version with 90% of the features ripped out. Need more space? If only some technology existed to add tiny flash memory chips to existing devices...

Thought I'd get it as a toy, but its become so useful I take it pretty much anywhere so I can either get my work done or it ends up the media centre in social cases (based micro HDMI).

>>53936716
Yep, it has defects. Battery life is poor at 5 hours of constant use, has a single speaker that sounds like total dogshit, and the audio jack is finicky and will sometimes incorrectly detect headphones as a headset. On the other hand, it cost me 80 bucks, the specs are adequate, and if you're up to it, the speaker, jack and battery can be replaced.

Android side is solid enough for daily use, can be rooted, and you can install xposed to get more functionality out of it, but you're stuck on 4.4.4.
Windows 10 works fine, but if you're updating from 8.1, you better keep a backup of the drivers, because W10 will attempt to update them and fuck up everything in the process.

I still use it in favor of the laptop. 5 hours of use is still pretty average for a laptop, even if it's downright mediocre for a tablet. Carrying an external battery with you, you still get lower weight and space used than a laptop.

iPad Pro 9.7 inch is great so far.

It was a mistake.
