Are tablets a meme?
What's the cheapest and best tablry for reading manga and watching anime?
Is 4:3 bad for watching 16:9 anime?
Is 10" too big?
>>
Just buy a nexus tablet and be done with it.
They're fantastic for consuming media in general. iPads are slick and nice but they lack the freedom to load content at a whim.
>>
>media consumption devices
>not 16:9
JUST
>>
>10"
Might as well get a laptop
>>
>>54270050
No microsd
I need a tablet to bring to the army with me and laptops are banned
>>
I use a 10" tablet for reading manga, but that's literally the only thing I use it for.

I'd hate to hold it in my hands for 2 hours to watch a movie or something though, I'd rather just use the damn TV.
>>
>>54270125
Weebs don't watch anime on television because they're afraid to be caught doing so.

Although I must admit, with plex, smart tvs, media devices and what not it's pretty easy to directly stream and/or instantly transcode anime and watch on a TV.
>>
>>54270124
Get a Windows chink tablet
>>
>>54270037
Just get a Chuwi hi8 Pro, i'm waiting for one in the mail, seems like a perfect fapping device.

>1920x1200 screen
> IPS
> USB-C
> Can dual boot Wandos and Android

First thing i'll do when it comes in is install RCT2 on it.
>>
>>54270161
Which one?
Im looking at the teclast x80 pro but the battery is only 3800 mah
Is 1280x800 too small? I've read that the Colorfly i820 is better
>>
>>54270037

If it isn't waterproof, you are wasting your money ad should have gotten an x86 Windows tablet/convertible.
>>
>>54270188
x80 is pretty old man, have a look at http://techtablets.com/

I've got an x98 Pro and it's very solid, people in the china shit thread seem to love the Chuwi H10
>>
>>54270217
It's 4:3 so its bad for media consumption...
>>
>>54270077

But that tablet IS 16:9, nobhead.
>>
HP pavilion 360 2in 1 and asus transformers/vivo/flip exist if u want 11" displays.
>>
>>54270176
Is it rootable? Remix OS?
>>
>>54270124
Asus MeMOPad
Obscure but it'll do the job
>>
>>54270239
16:9 is horrible for 80% you want to do with a tablet like surf, comics/manga, read etc. 4:3 is better for tablets.
>>
Is 1280x800 too low for 8"
I'm used to chinkpads with 1366x768 which have lower ppi
>>
>>54270337
Most manga I downloaded are either 16:10 though..?
>>
>>54270244
All the chink tablets run android like shit, they're much better windows tablets
>>
Any tablets that doesn't have multiwindows and styli are memes
>>
>>54270498
Does intel processors run shit with android tablets in general?

I was thinking of buying a Mi Pad 2 but it has an intel Z8500
>>
Teclast x80 pro or Chuwi Hi8?
I heard the Chuwi has better build quality but the screen is plastic instead of glass like the Teclast...
>>
How is the Galaxy tab A? I can get one pretty cheap.
>>
>>54270217
I read the x98 has horrible heat issues, is this true?
>>
>>54270124
Why..? How come laptops are banned, but tablets aren't?
>>
>>54271395
resolution is too low. if you are after the pen, get a 2014 galaxy note 10.1 instead.
>>
>>54270037
They're not a meme, they just went out of the mainstream, which is a good thing.

To answer your question, here's what you want out of a tablet
> nice screen (720p or higher, preferably AMOLED)
> decent processor, if you're just into media consumption and light gaming
> microSD slot, don't get cucked into buying an iPad or Nexus with non expandable storage
> an open ecosystem
>apps. don't buy into the Windows 10 tablet shills, or at least buy one that can dual boot.

Therefore your choices are chink tablets such as Chuwi Hi8 / Hi10s if you can import them and don't mind no warranty. Samsung Galaxy Tab series if you want better screens and Android, and the Surface Pro if you're a richfag.

>>54270337
4:3 is bad for anything in this day and age, even web browsing. All that extra width gets you is seeing more white space on the sides of webpages. I'm fucking serious.

Das da army man. Maybe they think you'll send all the secret plans to the reds faster than with a tablet.

this. idk how on earth you're supposed to get anything done on a tablet. every single extra gram of weight makes them cumbersome to hold and they're awkward as fuck to hold while trying to do anything besides reading simultaneously. i bought an ipad pro 9.7 recently and sent it back because it was simply too strange to hold for more than a couple mins at a time.
>>
There are some gr8 10 inch tablets on aliexpress
>>
>>54271815
That's retarded, senpai

I bought my gf a Lenovo TAB 2 A10 a while ago
She just wanted to watch videos or read something while working, cooking etc.
She loves it and it was only (?) 200€
The 10.1" Full HD IPS Screen looks really good
And the tablet is light and slim
Don't know about gaymes and shit like that but it just works and looks goosd

And battery is WAY better than expected
>>
4:3 for manga
16:10 for manga/anime, or as i've come to call it, manga+anime
