u/Naimzorz · 5 pointsr/college

This is a bit late, but here goes nothing:

Listen man, steer clear of the iPad in college. It can only do one thing at once, making it a total travesty to a busy college student. In my case, at least, I believe I found the perfect replacement.

Just last month I sold my 4th generation iPad because I found that I wasn't using it at all for my studies and it just sat there collecting dust. After some research online, I decided to get another tablet. This time I wanted one that could actually be useful in my college studies. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

I bought it refurbished off amazon for a good price, just to test it out and see if it was any good. It didn't take long for the new tablet to just outright replace half my backpack:

  • I stopped needing to take my notebooks to my classes. The S-Note application paired with the S-Pen (mind you the tablet has a built in Wacom digitizer) is a beautiful writing tool (or even typing, if you prefer so), and everything can be exported to Evernote in PDF format for organization and accessibility


  • The multitasking is a beautiful and crucial feature: I'm able to have a tutorial YouTube video, S-Note, and a calculator open all at once on the screen. I can have literally nothing on my table but this tablet and successfully teach myself just about anything. In addition, there's this feature where you can be looking at a picture on the browser, and you decide you want that picture in your notes. You can simply drag and drop the image into your notes and there it is.

  • The battery lasts me about 9 hours of screen on time with HEAVY use (notetaking, videos, multitasking, vewing large PDF's or powerpoints) which is enough to get most people through the day

  • I can just download the PDFs of my instructors worksheets and mark them up directly on the tablet, and then print out the solved worksheet. It's ridiculously efficient and saves me a lot of time and effort. If I make a mistake? Big deal; erase and correct it. Simple as that

    Aside from that, the tablet has a very large and beautiful display, making it a very good option for watching movies or Netflix in your downtime. Gaming performance is pretty beast as well. It is without a doubt, a college students best friend, and I highly recommend you at least check it out.

    I did, however, end up returning the tablet. Not because I wasn't happy, rather, the opposite. I was so ridiculously pleased with it that I just scrounged up whatever I have left in my allowance account to get the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. It's basically similar to the Note 10.1 in every way except:

  • The display is significantly larger. It is about the size of a full 11x9 inch notebook, making it a lot more comfortable to write on. The display resolution is the same as the Note 10.1, but despite the extra screen real estate it is still clear as day with about 250 ppi

  • It has a bigger battery, meaning it should be able to push me through the day and more

  • The Note 10.1 allows multitasking by having 2 large applications open side by side, as well as a small collection of 'mini apps' that can hover on top of the applications (eg. Calculator or a YouTube video). The Note Pro 12.2 allows up to 4 large applications to run all at once plus those mini-apps.

    These tablets have shown me just how useless an iPad is as a college companion. Steer clear of it. Look at the Note. Best of luck in college!
u/alienccccombobreaker · 7 pointsr/AndroidGaming

Old Shield user here.. it's great but if you can't find one these are your next best options.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LB08BH6 - Huawei + Harman Kardon MediaPad M3 8.0 Octa Core 8.4" Android (Marshmallow) +EMUI Tablet, WiFi only, 32GB

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MATMXZV - ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 9.7" (2048x1536), 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, 5MP Front / 8MP Rear Camera, Android 6.0, Tablet

I bought the first one end of January this year still going strong with a 200gb Micro SD Card.

Main strong points to get the Asus or Huawei over the Nvidia

  • 2k screen vs 1080p screen
  • 4gb ram vs 2gb ram
  • personally I found the Wi-Fi range better in my Huawei than when I had my nvidia but was very negligible but could be just build quality or positioning or 2013 hardware vs 2016 hardware who knows
  • This one is also anecdotal but battery drain for my nvidia was very fast compared to my Huawei even when properly plugged in into a 2A charger

    Main strong points to get the Nvidia over the Asus or Huawei
  • GPU is like at least 50% better if not more
  • usually can be found for at least $100 USD cheaper if not more when you do find one
  • nvidia shield controller is really good, very easy gamepad mapping functionality
  • nvidia native software is also really really good, twitch streaming and video recording/screenshot features are top notch and have all the features and then some unlike my Huawei (I probably miss this the most)
  • close to stock android no bloatware
  • nvidia is such a cool gaming technology brand logo to have and usually plays nice with other nvidia features like pc game streaming if you have the right nvidia hardware
  • depending on which version you get; a stylus and stylus holder (K1 version doesn't have this only original)
  • lastly having seen both up front and close and personal the 1080p screen on the nvidia does look nicer than my Huawei but just maybe by a little bit the UI is definitely nicer and crisper

    In closing, if nvidia just put more ram into their old tablet I would recommend it every time but because I ran into so many issues regarding ram limitations while I was putting extra stuff running in the background I was forced to switch to a larger ram tablet.

    If you can control your multi tasking and don't run too many apps at one time then nvidia is for you.

    But if you want more breathing area and room to play with then the Asus or Huawei is for you.

    I only got the Huawei because at the time the Asus wasn't shipping to my country (Australia) but a month later they were.. ah well.. the Asus has more features, screen real estate and base storage than the Huawei for cheaper but the Huawei has some nice Harman Kardon speakers on each side in landscape so less chance of blocking the sound in landscape.. decisions decisions if I could try again I would get the Asus with LTE so it could be my phone and still have all the features but eh I'm stuck with this now until I figure out how I can replace it.

    Good luck OP I hope this helps.
u/smayonak · 3 pointsr/tablets

Have owned it for several months and use it every day. It's a Signature Edition from Microsoft -- so no bloatware. Unfortunately, it is sold out there.

The same model is available on Amazon for $67. But you have to ask them directly about the warranty because chances are: there is none though Amazon. That they don't list the warranty should be illegal.

It is a rebranded (NuVision is not a manufacturer, they sell rebranded Onda devices) Onda 8-inch tablet. The difference is that it only includes Windows 10. NuVision also released an "updated" version of the tablet called the Solo 8, but from what I can tell, this thing is identical to the Nuvision 8 in hardware. In software, it comes with the Creator's Update (which you can update to for free anyway).

Cherry Trail is adequate in performance. Were it running Android, this thing would be a performance beast. For Windows, it runs OK in 1920 x 1200 and slightly better in 1280 x 800. The battery life is good if you optimize it properly (here's a great Cherry Trail optimization video ).

People with poor battery life are installing lots of crapware, malware, PUPs, and software that runs in the background. That's why they're reporting increased battery drain later on down the line. They are installing lots of software that runs in the background that drains battery life. This tablet isn't for most people.

The thing about a 32GB tablet is that you ABSOLUTELY need to install software you 100% trust and -- ON TOP OF THAT -- you need to use a microSD card with good random read/write speeds, like a Samsung EVO+ or EVO Select card for offloading apps onto (which requires additional configuration).

Again, this is the best tablet. But mobile ARM processors are arriving in Windows 10 soon. I'm hoping a 64GB (or 32GB with microSD card storage) with 4GB of RAM device, with stylus support, and a 7-inch screen comes out. Chances are it'll be better than the Cherry Trail devices. Particularly in battery life.

u/wookiepedia · 1 pointr/androidtablets

I am replacing a Nexus 10 that is becoming problematic and slow, requiring a factory reset every few weeks to keep it from becoming too slow to use. I already attempted to solve this cheaply myself with an RCA Maven Pro 12", and the screen is god awful and it's slower in its best state than the Nexus 10 is when it needs a factory reset. Other things about the Maven Pro make it attractive, but it's truly a piece of junk to be avoided.

So, my usage for this tablet will consist of:

  • Video consumption, 1080p 60fps. Youtube/Netflix/Plex/Twitch.tv
  • Chat in hangouts / twitch streams
  • Control of ssh terminal to remote systems
  • VNC control of remote systems
  • eBook reading
  • Reddit via sync for reddit
  • Web Browsing
  • SDR Applications for RF monitoring


    Although the screen on the Maven Pro is awful, the size is just incredible. It allows for the device to truly act like a tiny laptop and the media consumption experience is far better than even the 10 inch screen it replaces. Normally, availability of recent versions of android is top of my list of requirements, but at larger screen sizes that tends to just not be possible. The options that I have not already tried in the 12"+ size category that I am aware of are:

  • Galaxy Note 12 Pro - Expensive, outdated version of android, but it has a very fast processor and the screen is reputed to be worth killing babies for. Very strong contender, especially since there is a very nice OEM keyboard option for it and it seems that there is some LineageOS support for this device as well.
  • Chuwi Hi12 - Cheap as hell, very very nice IPS screen, limited LineageOS support (which may be going away due to drivers no longer in mainline kernels). Keyboard from OEM is reported to be absolute garbage, so an alternative keyboard solution may be needed, but at this price, it wouldn't be too bad. Performance is reported to be mediocre at best, but it will be better than the RCA Maven Pro. If Lineage OS support continues, I would expect performance to increase. Also includes windows 10, which would be an interesting bonus, as well as the option to run ubuntu instead of windows or android. Another negative: touchscreen accuracy is awful when using any sort of screen protector (shitty digitizer).
  • Virgin Mobile TellyTablet - Perfect form factor to go along with media consumption use case. I can't seem to find one in the US, so I may have to get it shipped from the UK. ROM support may be spotty, so thats another negative, and portability will be iffy as well. Pretty much an unknown for me, as I've never seen one in person.


    What other 12 inch or larger tablets are there that run android? I'm pretty flexible on most parameters, so long as the screen size is 12 inches or larger and doesn't have craptastic viewing angles like the Maven Pro. Hell, if I could pay to have a decent processor and IPS display put in the Maven Pro, I'd do it.

    Thanks in advance!
u/xxteargodxx · 12 pointsr/gachagaming

It's incredibly hard to recommend a tablet, when you don't put a budget that you want to stay within without going over. But I've listed some stuff below that I personally thought was 'cheap' when google searching 'android gaming tablet 2019' and 'budget android gaming tablets'. I kept pricing under $300, hope that helps best of luck to you.

​

Dragon Touch K10 - $109 on Amazon right now, probably the cheapest tablet I've found again like most other Android tablets. I don't know how well it'll do for gaming. But you can search for reviews on YouTube about the device and come to a conclusion.

Fire HD 10 - $149.99 on Amazon, you can install the Google Play Store on it, if it's any good for running games that I don't know. But there are guides (you can google them) that tell you how to install the Google Play Store.

Lenovo Smart Tab M10 - $179.99 on Lenovo's website, again not sure how well it will do for gaming. But I'm sure if you search YouTube you will find reviews on the device, and can come to your own conclusion.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 - $219 on Amazon, don't know much about this tablet if it's good for gaming or not. But you can search YouTube for it. I'm sure you will find a few reviews on it.

Apple iPad 6th Gen (Latest Model) - Amazon has it on sale for $249, regular price is $329.99. Great device (I own one it runs games buttery smooth), will last you years definitely worth getting I'd even recommend getting the 128GB Storage Model if it's in your price range.

u/tomkatt · 3 pointsr/EmulationOnAndroid

My recommendation in the past would have been a Shield K1 tablet but they're getting harder to find now that they're discontinued. The lowest price I see right now on Amazon is $320. Unfortunately tablets are in a weird place right now, where anything under $200 doesn't get you a lot, and then there's a jump to like $500-$600 with almost nothing in between. The only other comparable device might be the Lenovo Tab A10, but it's basically the same thing as the Fire or the Galaxy one.

The Asus Zenpad S8 4GB model might be a good choice. It's got a 2.3GHz Intel chip in it, but it's $350. My wife has the 2GB/1.8GHz version of that tablet we found for $160 at one point, and it's got the most beautiful screen I've ever seen on a tablet. That said, I don't know how the 1.8GHz model does for emulation, and I'm mostly just seeing the 1.3GHz version under $200 for it.

Sorry. The market's a bit screwy at the moment. With no real "gaming tablet" successor for the Shield tablet, It's a bit hard to recommend anything. Caveat emptor, as a lot of tablets have pricing all over the board but run on the same lower end chips ranging 1.3-1.6GHz.

----

Edit - The Huawei MediaPad m3 doesn't look too bad. Reasonable specs for the price, though it's above the budget you were looking at. Huawei and Xiaomi are surprise contenders in the tablet market, and you might find somehing decent looking at those brands.

Scratch that. The Asus Zenpad 3s. For the price, that's probably the best bang for your buck and should perform well with PPSSPP. It's above your budget, but it's the best I could find that suits what you're looking for, as close to the price you're looking at. And with 4GB RAM in that thing with a QHD screen and 2.1GHz A53 Quad core chip, that's actually a good price for the specs at $287. It'll do well for movies, very, very good for reading, and be solid for gaming I think.

In fact, that thing looks nice enough that if anything happens to my Shield tablet, that'll likely be my replacement unless something better comes in the price range. And ASUS screens are gorgeous.

u/ApatheticCreative · 3 pointsr/gpdxd

Others have already said basically the same thing, but I'll add to the pile.

The GPD XD will be great for everything you want to do with the exception of Nintendo 3DS, PSVITA and Persona 4. An actual PS VITA can be had used for a little over $100. If you jailbreak it, you now have access to the entire VITA library + Persona 4 Golden and games up to and including the PS1 and Gameboy Advance, but Nintendo DS emulation isn't really viable due to a much slower CPU compared to the GPD, though I guess they're working on that. Still no 3ds.

If you want everything on one device in your pocket, you'll need a GPD Win 2, which is orders of magnitude more expensive. It's also powerful enough to run Citra (Nintendo 3ds emulator), a Playstation 2 emulator (Persona 4), All consoles up to and including Gamecube, and all but the most demanding of PC games. The only thing you'll really be lacking there is VITA games, as there aren't any viable VITA emulators out there yet that I'm aware of. (Vita3k looks promising. Not there yet though).

A laptop with performance on par with, or better than a Win 2 can be had for less than a Win 2 goes for, but it's not exactly pocket friendly. Still, this might be a viable way to go paired with a decent controller as long as you don't mind lugging it around. Some benefits too, such as a larger screen and better heat management on account of a larger device.

Want extra style points and be Cyberpunk AF? Pair a laptop with an Oculus GO standalone VR headset and a controller. Use Virtual Desktop to put yourself in a virtual space in front of a gigantic hovering display and play all your emulators that way. You are now officially a huge nerd, and have to tote around a bag to carry all this stuff with you, but the concept is undeniably cool.

u/jocopa3 · 13 pointsr/MCPE

Finding cheap tablets that run Minecraft well is a bit tricky, and finding cheap tablets that may continue to work well for the next few years makes things a bit more difficult. I would only look for devices made after 2014 if possible. Anything before then would likely be worse than your current Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, or may not keep up with the ever more demanding games and apps in the coming years.

It's worth mentioning that there aren't many kid-friendly tablets that would be a significant upgrade from your current device. For example, the Kindle-Fire kids edition, while an excellent first tablet for kids, performs similarly to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and thus wouldn't be much of an upgrade. The devices I list are meant to be possible upgrade suggestions that utilize better hardware than cheaper tablets geared towards kids. However, some of the tablets I list can make for a great family tablet, and you can find accessories and cases for some of the options that make them more durable from inevitable drops and other accidents that may occur.

---

I currently have 6 tablets listed in three different price ranges that may be slightly or significantly better than your current device. Prices are in USD and may or may not include shipping in the cost. Also, with Black Friday and other holiday deals coming up, I would keep an eye out for other good deals and price drops as well.

Under $200:

  • Amazon Fire HD 8 (2016) - $90 for "Special Offers" version (essentially advertisements), $105 for version without Special Offers. While considerably cheap, it isn't too much of an upgrade over the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3, though it's still a good option. However, one major drawback is that this tablet does not come with the Google Play store, but instead uses the Amazon app store meaning all apps will have to be repurchased. It is possible to install and use the Google Play Store or Play Store apps on this tablet if you're willing to follow some technical guides.

  • Lenovo TAB 2 A10 (2015) - $150 for lowest tier model on manufacturer's site. Despite being released in 2015, this may not perform a whole lot better than your current Samsung Galaxy Tab 3.

    $200 - $300 range:

  • NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1 (2015) - $200 on manufacturer's site and Amazon. This device is comparable to the Galaxy Tab S2 in terms of performance, and is overall a very good tablet for its price.

    $300 - $400 range:

  • Huawei MediaPad M3 (2016) - Currently $300 on Amazon. Based on performance benchmarks, this is the best device on this list using some of the latest hardware for a fairly competitive price. Note that it won't ship in the US until November 21st.

  • ASUS ZenPad S 8 4GB RAM model (2015) - $300 on Amazon. While there is a $160 version with 2GB of RAM and a slower processor, reviews say the cheaper model is not great for gaming and tends to lag.

  • Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8-inch (2015) - $350 on Amazon. Samsung previously had deals on the more expensive 9.7 inch version going for as low as $300, so it may be worth watching. This tablet is featured in some review sites as a good tablet for kids in-part because of Samsung's kids-mode feature.

    Edit 1: added Asus ZenPad and Nvidia Shield tablet recommendations.

    Edit 2: updated the link for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A to include the price-cut model.

    Edit 3: added Amazon Fire HD 8.

    Edit 4: Removed the Samsung Galaxy Tab A as nearly every device in the list outperforms it for the same price or less, making it a poor deal.

    Sorry if this is an overwhelming amount of information to take in. If you have any other questions, feel free to reply! Also, if any other users have good deals or devices they want to mention, please do!

CPU is non overclockable but you could get the K edition and upgrade to a Z97 motherboard if you want to overclock.

Solid State drive for your OS and a few of your favorite games. This will make sure load times are as short as possible. A 1TB HDD for whatever you want to store.

Video card is great.

Went for a small case so you can tuck it away in a corner somewhere.

Power Supply is gold certified so it isn't a huge electricity waster (importance will be obvious in a second).

OS.

But, you'd rather have the portability of a laptop! I have the solution.

Step Two: Get an Nvidia Shield Tablet, this awesome case, and whatever accessories you want (shield controller, microusb to ethernet adapter, microusb to usb hub so you can connect a USB mouse and keyboard in addition to the ethernet adapter).

Step Three: Enjoy Gamestream.

Happy to help you out nevereven :-) cool name by the way. Sorry for taking so long, get the Huawei + Harman Kardon MediaPad M3 8.0 Octa Core 8.4inch Android android tablet its a good substitute for the K1 and a bit over $250 but a good price.

With its compact yet sizable 8.4-inch display, long-lasting battery and dual-1W Harmon Kardon speakers, this tablet’s name says it all. From YouTube videos to movies, this is one of the best options out there if you’re looking for a tablet on which to consume media. Even though we’ve found gaming to be somewhat choppy at times, it is capable of playing high-end 3D games with few issues.

The Huawei MediaPad M3 offers an immersive display, great audio and long-lasting battery life and while gaming can be somewhat choppy, it is capable of playing high-end 3D games with few issues. You can also make phone calls with it, if you’re into that sort of thing. Go for it :-)

For the features you are looking for , especially that pen input, the Surface Pro would be the best choice for you. In your budget, the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 would be a nice pick which would certainly do the job for you. It has a nice i5 processor, a decent 256 GB SSD, great 8 GB RAM etc...It also has an excellent screen quality with an awesome pen feature that will allow your to take written notes brilliantly. It also is very portable, has a nice battery life and based on it's power, will be able to run Hearthstone and other similar games as well as those medical software you have.

u/chiaseedsinthehouse · 4 pointsr/vainglorygame

So, I had a iPad mini version 2 that was struggling in 5v5 the last few updates. I was getting a lot of frame rate drops and occasional crashes until this update happened. With this update I couldn't even get through a 5v5 game without a crash. I was very frustrated to say the least but I decided it was time to upgrade. Do I wish I didn't have to? Of course... Do I wish the game was better optimized for my old iPad? Yes, but what you gonna do?

So I went to Amazon and got this Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (Latest Model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTS2KWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_isDWCb308W1KF

The game plays perfectly now. And as a bonus my first rank game got me back into VG.

What is your price range?

The lowest range I would say you could safely go would be the Galaxy tab A which goes refurbished for $144 on amazon

The Asus Zenpad 8 for $129 would also get the job done.

Now, those will definitely get the job done on a budget. They won't be useful for serious gaming, but plenty good enough for anki and looking up stuff or doing qbanks and watching videos. A little patience and you can go with lenovo, which I'll discuss below with more mid-range tablets.

If you want to step up to the $250 range, you could go with the Ipad mini 2, which I hear still runs great, but I don't like that there is no expandable memory.

Now, as far as the latest and greatest, you have a couple of decent options. If you can wait for the Lenovo Tab 4 8 or 8 plus ($100-$250 depending on which version you get), which come out in July, I would wait for them (I don't think they'll have spyware on them, but whatever.)

Personally, I can't wait that long because I have to travel before they are released, so I went with the $300 Huawei MediaPad 3 which has great stats and the update to Nougat and EMUI 5.0 has improved the interface a ton. It has the best speakers on any tablet right now, 4GB ram, a 2k screen resolution, and expandable memory. The only downside for me is there is no USB-C, but that's really not a huge deal for my needs.

After that you start getting into high end tablets that are basically laptops like the Galaxy Tab 3 or iPad Pro.

Well, you have several options and I think it's important to know whether you get to spend up to 300 on the product, or less and keep the difference.

If you want an Android Device, the new Nexus 7 falls right in your price range. I had the original, and it was pretty good. You get a 1080p screen and Google's latest OS versions because its a Nexus. Google app integration is also fantastic. It's a productive and light device with a lot of media consumption options.

If you want a Windows Tablet, the [Dell Venue 8 Pro] (http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Venue-Pro-Tablet-Windows/dp/B00FEE7B1I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1394742272&sr=8-2&keywords=dell+venue+8+pro) is generally regarded as the best Windows 8 inch tablet. The overall experience might not be as good as the Nexus because you're porting over a full OS to an 8 inch screen, but the potential is greater because you can run normal windows programs on it.

Another option you might want to consider is a Chromebook, which has deep google integration (It is their Chrome OS after all!). The Acer 720p has a touchscreen and good reviews, you also get a keyboard and great battery life! The downside is it's not going to use android apps and you'll have to rethink what you believe a computer should do.

Ultimately it's about what you want to do with it, I think for your needs any of the three above will work, though I suppose the best for you might be the Nexus 7.

u/Feisar2003 · 2 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

If you really want a stylus and tablet mode then the:

Surface Pro 4 + Type Cover $1299 + $129.99 = $1428.99

or

Surface Book $1,457 are the best for you with their great portability, decent processing power, excellent screens and useful touchscreens/styluses. The Surface Book is probably the best out of the two.

If you can forgo these things, the much more powerful:

ASUS Zenbook Pro UX501VW $1499 has a 4K screen, an extremely powerful processor, a 512GB SSD and a dedicated GPU if you ever change your mind about gaming. It seems this one of the computers with the display problems listed in the sidebar.

Dell XPS 13 Has a 3200x1800 touchscreen, ultrabook portability, and decent power.

I have the Lenovo TAB2 A10, but the one with the ARM Cortex A53 Quad-Core, 2GB RAM and FHD IPS model. I've posted about it a few times on here when people were looking for tablets for reading comics/movie watching.

link to my other comments here

FWIW, currently the best offer on AMAZON for the ARM, 2GB, FHD IPS tablet is from VIP OUTLET - i ordered a refurbished model from them, and it seemed like it was brand new. i had a little trepidation as well, but it worked out for me. so, take it from a stranger on the internet, VIP outlet was a reputable 3rd party seller (YMMV).

Edit: For those viewing the thread late -

For an entry level Surface tablet I'd currently recommend the Surface 3 64GB/2GB model + external monitor over the Surface Pro 3 i3 model since the performance is so similar - just don't expect to be able to play more than basic games or the ability to watch high bit-rate HD video.

If you want to splurge on a mid-range Surface tablet then I'd go for the Surface Pro 4 i5 128GB/4GB model - the CPU performs twice as fast as the low end tablets, and the graphics performance is about 70% better than all the others. The display is also higher quality and slightly larger, pressure sensitivity is increased x4, better camera, and it comes with a pen. The extra RAM and storage space will really help stave off any headaches you may experience with the entry models.

---

I think the main decision here is how much money you are willing to spend on it. Objectively, more money gets you a better device, so setting a price point pretty much establishes which one you are going to get:

  • Low-end: ~$400 - Surface 3 Atom 64GB | 2GB | 1.6 - 2.4 GHz | 2MB Cache | 600 MHz
  • Low-end: ~$500 - Surface Pro 3 i3 64GB | 2GB | 1.5 GHz | 3MB Cache | 850 MHz
  • Mid-range: ~$700 - Surface Pro 3 i5 s4 128GB | 4GB | 1.9 - 2.9 GHz | 3MB Cache | 1100 MHz
  • Mid-range: ~$800 - Surface Pro 4 i5 s6 128GB | 4GB | 2.4 - 3.0 GHz | 3MB Cache | 1000 MHz
  • High-end: ~$1000 - Surface Pro 3 i7 256GB | 8GB | 1.7 - 3.3 GHz | 4MB Cache | 1100 MHz

    * Image comparison

    The 10.8" devices are actually a Surface 3's with a Atom x7-Z8700 processors. The 12" devices are the Surface Pro 3's with core i3/i5/i7 processors. The i5/i7 CPU's generally perform twice as well as the Atom/i3 in benchmarks. The Surface Pro 4 also performs about 70% better than the Pro 3's in graphics benchmarks (+7-15% better in CPU tests).

    Since you are unlikely be using it for anything super demanding, I'd recommend you go for the mid-range Surface Pro 3 (see my note at the bottom about the Pro 4 though, which is a decent upgrade for +$80). Both screens have the same DPI (detail level), so you are getting roughly 25% more screen real estate with the bigger one (no quality improvement). Draw two rectangles with the following dimensions to get an idea of the difference in viewing area:

    9" x 6" vs. 10" x 6.7"

    Otherwise, the core i5/i7 processors have TurboBoost to add another 1 GHz of processing power (the i3 apparently does not, Atom has Boost for +800 MHz). 4GB of ram is much better than 2GB, and 128GB storage space would be much better than 64 as you could easily bump into the later's limit. 8GB Ram, 256GB storage, and a Core i7 are the top-end luxury options which have diminishing returns over the mid-range options.

    Keep in mind the following things:

  • You may want to invest in a Type Cover in order to have a physical keyboard
  • Similarly, you may want a USB or bluetooth mouse
  • Try to get one which comes with Windows 10 instead of 8
  • A larger investment, but potentially worthwhile one, would be an external monitor with a DisplayPort connector - both devices have Mini DisplayPorts for hooking up to monitors for lots more screen real estate
  • There are Surface Pro 4 devices available which cost roughly $100 more for the same system specs as the Pro 3 versions, but with better DPI and .3" larger screen

Speaking from personal experience, I would go with this Microsoft Surface Pro 4.

I was in the market for a machine so my daughter could do her art without covering our house in the inane ramblings of an 8 year old, so I started digging into convertibles with pens. I finally settled on the SP4.

It's extremely lightweight, the magnet attachment for the keyboard and power are fantastic features, the pen is really great and accurate, and the display is absolutely beautiful. I really suggest the i5/8GB model, since you can't upgrade it, and I would suggest getting this UAG Case as well. I tested a number of cases first and landed on that one, as it allows the keyboard to snap to it without removing the case or having any other weird addition like the Otterbox one has.

Also keeping in mind that the Surface Pro Type Cover is separate, it is on the high end of your budget. But something that will last all day (in power saving mode), and be extremely easy to carry around with a good quality pen is well worth it.

The Amazon Kindle Fire 7" Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB is on sale now at $ 39.99

I've bought mine when it first came out last year at $ 50 and bought another one for my Mom at $ 35 during the Black Friday Sale.

For reviews check out Youtube, there are plenty of positive reviews for this budget Amazon tablet.

But for my Mom's user review.

Performance wise. It does Skype and FB Messenger really well. Plus all of her favorite mobile versions of the FB games she frequently plays. Battery wise it can last her 2 days on standby (Skype, Messenger online) with non-heavy use.

For sound the built in mono-speakers is pretty average. The built in mic is good enough for Skype and Messenger calls. But if your going to do a lot of Skype calls. I suggest you get at least wired headphones for better conversation. Although a bluetooth headset would be a great option.

CONS My Mom is a senior citizen and the 7" tablet is too small for eyes. This is why she still prefers to play her FB games on a 20-inch iMac or PC with a mouse. She also finds it difficult to type using the on screen keyboard since they buttons looks small.

u/onafarawaybeach · 2 pointsr/asustransformer

Transformers are android tablets so they run android. I own the very first model tf101. I'm not sure if I would even recommend one at this point. The only advantage at the time was the keyboard but you can pretty much use a Bluetooth keyboard with any android tablet now and I barely used it anyway. My idea was to replace my laptop with it but that's impossible for the 20% of the time you need an actual laptop. A tablet just won't replace a laptop.

I have a nexus 7 2013 and I really love it. It's less than $150 now so maybe that would be appropriate for your needs and you'll save $250. There are much more robust gaming tablets if that's your thing but any current tablet will play any video/audio and be fine for light work, check out http://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-940-81761-2500-000-SHIELD-Tablet-WiFi/dp/B00LM6KF7O

If you know you'll take advantage of using it for what it was designed for, you'll love it, and it'll be worth the investment. I had one for about a year when i was working under Intel and fell in love with the machine. The portability of it is ridiculous, id easily tell you how many compliments i would get or just curious people asking me how i was running windows on that thing LMAO. The note taking is really nice, i use the Office suite, and Onenote is amazing to use, being able to hand-write notes, then convert them to actual text is crazy, it even does math for you!Honestly you'll have fun and love the machine, although if you were maybe looking so spoil yourself with something else and save on the laptop then get something cheaper, but the Surface is an awesome device to use nonchalantly inserts link to Surface Pro 4..

Its $49.99 but its an investment in their educational future. It helps combine fun and education.
Fill it with educational and fun, apps, videos, and music.

Works for either girl or boy. There is also a bunch of online educational sites. It helps with reading and so much more. If you'd like a list of educational sites and etc just let me know and I will compile one for you :)

Haha. I clearly did not read your entire post, or I would've noticed that you mentioned this tablet. Whoops. Anyway, as the previous owner of the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013, this thing is amazing. I love how they got rid of the back, home, and menu buttons entirely. You can add them to the screen if you like, and in multiple configurations, or even have a small floating button that expands and has them. Or, you can ditch them entirely, in favor of the intuitive single physical button, below the screen. You tap once to go back, hold to go home, or swipe left or right in leui of the menu button. Also, 4GB of RAM and this screen is gorgeous! I'm never going back.

I love my tablet. This is what I have: http://amzn.com/B004U78J1G

Along with the docking keyboard: http://amzn.com/B004U78628

I got mine on Craislist, practically brand new for $300 with the docking keyboard. So you might be able to find a good deal somewhere.

Here is what I use mine for:

  • Manga

  • Anime (stored on 16gb MicroSD I added - I also use the CrunchyRoll app as I am a member)

  • Japanese Video Games (I use GBA, SNES, etc emulators and download JP roms - the PS3 controller actually works too if you plug it in via USB! Though you have to have the docking station to plug it in)

  • Anki / Websites for studying (like iKnow.jp, Memrise, etc)

  • PDF's or Kindle books

  • Listening to JP music

  • Skype - Can text, voice, or webcam chat to JP friends

  • Lastly, general browsing of JP websites

    In my opinion, it's an awesome tool. If mine broke right now, I'd buy another by end of day tomorrow. Though everyone is different. Make sure you're going to use it before you invest.
u/bgfinkel · 2 pointsr/PAstudent

I see! It depends what notetaking software you use.

iPad solution: I would suggest this stand with an apple pencil compatible iPad. This one is only $250 and is compatible with the apple pencil. However, think about how you're going to have to load the lectures onto the iPad.

You can probably manage it on the iPad, but you're going to need to access the lecture through your email/online student center which could get difficult on the ipad.

A 2-in-1 laptop is a more elegant solution. You can download the lecture from wherever it comes from, then switch the laptop into a tablet and place it on the stand. Check out this summary by wirecutter on the best 2-in-1 laptop solutions.

Hope that helps

I used my Nexus7's to death for years, but since Google dropped support on them, they've kinda crapped out for most things (still not bad for reading pdfs though).

However, if you are looking for a tablet for reading pdfs on a budget, there really is no better deal right now than the Kindle Fire. $50 for a fully featured tablet is an insanely good deal. The only drawback to these tablets is that they don't come with Google Play services installed, but tech savvy people can fix that with about 20min worth of tinkering. They had a deal where if you buy 5, you get a 6th one free, and I should have jumped on it, since I've now bought four of them, and another two for $50 would be nice.

This cheap 8in tablet I got seems to be able to run just about anything I've tried I have Windows 10 Pro on it. Not a phone, but I have fun with it. Screen/build quality/ is actually fantastic. I used to play Stardew Valley on it, but it can handle the Netflix app, full Spotify windows install, Steam, Firefox/Chrome with extensions, Microsoft Office.

My only gripe with it is I wish they put two micro USB's on it like Raspberry Pi's do (one for power, and one for data), but it has bluetooth which seems fine for controllers, keyboard/mouse, etc. Has a headphone jack and micro SD slot too!

u/ATrueBlueGamer · 1 pointr/retrogaming

It's a joke but I guess I'll have to explain the joke. People praise the Switch for bringing "AAA" or "console quality" games to handhelds when handheld versions of home consoles even PC have been around since the Game Gear and Turbo Express/PC Engine GT. The Game Gear, Nomad, and Turbo Express were all portable versions of the Master System, Genesis (it could not play MD games) and Turbo Grafix 16/PC Engine respectively. The Nomad and PSP 2000/3000/Go, and Nvidia Shield Portable all have video outs and the PS Vita TV can easily have a custom wist added to it to make all Vita games playable. The PSP, Vita, and 3DS/ New 3DS also all had decent serviceable ports of AAA budgeted games that were only available on PC/Console. They also all have their own AAA games. Most of the games that would have been exclusive for Vita would later be remastered for PS4 even. So they idea of the Switch being original is bunk.

You mean something like the GPD Win 2? It's a tiny Windows 10 computer that's basically intended for gaming.

https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-Portable-Gameplayer-Notebook-Graphics/dp/B07CK7DRYS


It can even play stuff like Overwatch locally at 60 FPS. No streaming required. A novelty to be sure, but a really neat piece of tech, and would be perfect for Stadia. The major downside is the price. You can get a very powerful desktop for the same price as the GPD Win 2's base model. Hell, you can even buy a pretty decent laptop for that price. So you're really just paying for the portability and 'wow' factor.

u/humanmanguy · 2 pointsr/Android

Looks great, but as a professional drawing tablet I'd say it's poor compared to Microsoft's Surface Pro. While it is definitely heavier than the Note, the Pro is an ultrabook with a full installation of Windows 8.1--which means that it can run everything that a desktop Windows computer can, such as the full Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) as well as mobile apps like Sketchbook Pro.

And the Surface Pro also has a wacom digitizer, plus the pen it comes with even includes a functional eraser.

If you compare the two, the Surface Pro (not Surface Pro 2) is even cheaper on Amazon:

Surface Pro

Galaxy Note Pro

They both make decent drawing tablets, but the Surface Pro is definitely a better option for anyone looking to do professional work.

u/cr0ft · 1 pointr/AskTechnology

A Microsoft Surface Pro 4 might be an option. You can get one of those with the type cover for under a grand if you look around. Very portable, and ideal for mail and web surfing on the couch (not that it has any problems running Office, videos etc either).

It's a tablet, but with the type cover it becomes essentially a very nice 12 inch laptop. They run the full normal Windows 10.

You can even buy a Surface Dock for it and plug keyboard, mouse and up to two monitors into that and have a great desktop work PC just by plugging in the combined charging/docking cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Surface-Pro-Intel-Core/dp/B01606KJ6C (without the type cover, I would presume, that's another $100-something.)

They throw in the pen for it, and since you can get Onenote for free you can even write notes longhand on it, and draw etc. There's a reason they sell well.

The regular Surface (non-pro) is a Windows RT device. It runs on an ARM processor and will NOT run x86-compiled programs (like anything for your normal windows computer) or unsigned programs that are compiled to ARM. You would only be able to use the Windows Store.

The Surface Pro runs Windows 8.1 on an x86 (intel) architecture. It will run any traditional Windows programs (including Steam and Steam games). The SP1 comes with 4gb of ram and an i5 processor (HD4000 integrated graphics). This is enough to play SC2 comfortably in 1v1, and would handle the games you're talking about fine.

The Battery Keyboard (if you can find one) is a keyboard case with a battery in it. It roughly doubles the weight and thickness of the tablet, but adds a significant amount of battery life (6-8 hours of normal non-gaming use).

If you're interested in looking at used SP1s, here is a link. You can get them for sub-500 (even sub 400!) barring the keyboard case, which will push the price up a bit. If you're willing to spend more, the SP2 is much nicer. Slightly lighter, better processor (and HD4400 integrated graphics), and better base battery life, but comes at a raise in price.

u/StupidMadeUpName · 2 pointsr/tablets

I agree with a Surface. I am not sure for Android tablets, but Drawboard PDF is available on Windows and is fantastic. I speak from experience, as just about every college professor I've had posts their lecture slides online as a PDF. My Pro 4 has been a great device. I'd suggest looking into Drawboard if you haven't already to see if it fits your demands.

Additionally, although an Android based tablet would be cheaper, having access to desktop versions of Office apps and compatibility with other applications you might need for class is great.

You don't have to get a Pro 4. But I'd suggest a Windows tablet computer with a stylus. I'd also highly suggest getting a typecover/keyboard folio. That way, your device is a tablet when convenient and a full laptop when you need it.

Uuugghhhh still one more week of my sucky job. At least now I'm not working too hard to "appear" busy when I'm not. Today is my last late night (I've been working Mondays from 9am to around 8/9pm and it sucks)!

I got my fiance's Nvidia tablet in the mail yesterday. I booted it up and started a new account because they had the Lego Jurassic World game for over half off until today and he's not getting it until next week. Only to discover you basically need the controller to play anything that's not a tablet game. So I ordered the stupid controller and he better love it because geez this is expensive. Had I known this, I would have ordered the tablet and controller together, but it only would have saved me $1. It was my understanding that it had on screen controls, too, but I couldn't find any. Oh well.

I went grocery shopping yesterday. This seems like not a big deal except it has been literal MONTHS since I've properly grocery shopped. We've been scrounging like mole people. I didn't really have the money for it but I'm so tired of not having actual food. But now we do! At least for the time being. And now, with my new seasonal job, my hours are much better. I also feel like I've just been really down the whole 5 months I've been there. I don't feel like doing anything or going anywhere or cooking or anything. Ugh I can't wait until this week is over. At the same time I'll miss working with my fiancé, future brother in law, and their best friend (yes, we all work there lol). And having a desk. But that's it.

Oh, I woke up Saturday morning with an eye thing? It's not pink eye because it doesn't itch and it's not red or anything. It's just swollen/puffy on the lower/outer lid and there's a definite dot of pain. Maybe a stye? It still looks the same to me this morning, but it needs to fuck off because I don't have insurance and idk what I'll do if it doesn't go down.

yes it is still worth it, i like its processor performance which is good for playing those games you mentioned. long lasting battery life, excellent display. another alternative i would recommend is the [Nvidia Shield K1] (https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-940-81761-2500-500-SHIELD-Tablet-K1/dp/B0171BS9CG/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1474511521&sr=1-1&keywords=nvidia+shield+k1&linkCode=ll1&tag=qt088-20&linkId=24fabfa786c08c30f4f16b71a581a116) has a longer lasting battery life, powerful processor performance for gaming.

From my experience, get a 720p tablet if sub $200. Most of these tablets have 2GB RAM and higher resolution and low memory just does not mix well. That said, the x5 and x7 Atoms handle graphics better than the older atoms. But if you want to run native games on it besides streaming, the lower the resolution the better.

Second note: Intel Atoms are not that great, but there are a few great ones. If the Atom CPU model starts with x7 or x5 it is most likely better than a Z series Atom. The x5/x7 Atom will have better battery life, faster video chipset.

Nuvision has an 8 inch tablet that will run just fine.

Like others have said, the N7 2013 is a bit long in the tooth, and probably won't get updated to Android N. You might want to wait it out, and pick up a deal on the N7 2013, on Swappa, while you wait to see what the holidays brings towards the end of the year in the way of deals, and new hardware releases. The NVIDIA Shield K1 $199 on Amazon is pretty good if you don't want to wait.

It just received a good update.
> SHIELD Tablet K1 now meets Android 6.0 Professional Audio requirements, including:
Low Latency Audio (<20ms continuous round trip)
USB Host & Peripheral modes
24-bit@192kHz Stereo & 7.1 HDMI output
MIDI support over USB & Bluetooth LE

NVIDIA has been doing a good job at releasing updates.

u/brick872 · 1 pointr/Nexus7

Check it out on Amazon. Look under the used deals and there are some in very good condition and fulfilled by Amazon for $148.80. Better price and I've had better experience in the event you need to do a return with Amazon than I ever have on ebay. I have the 2012 model and I got my wife the 2013 last year for her birthday so I have experience with both. Definitely stick with the 2013 version.

For the purpose of clinical rotations, I'd recommend the ipad mini mainly because of its size. Anything larger will be clunky. You'll be on the wards where you might not have access to a safe place to keep your belongings, so everything you have needs to fit in your pocket. You can check out the Apple refurbished section of the Apple website to see if they have any refurbs for sale. You can also check out Best Buy for any open boxed units for some savings. Finally, you can hit up Craigslist or eBay for a used unit.

If you're not tied to the Apple ecosystem, I'd also recommend a comparable tablet from Samsung, like the Galaxy Tab S2. I personally use the Galaxy Tab S2. It is very fast, long battery life despite some samsung bloatware. The main advantage it has over the ipad is removable storage. I pop in a 128 microSD card that contains all of my study materials and I'm good to go. You can go for cheaper tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (hovers sub-200).

Some people feel fine using the Amazon Fire tablets. I do not recommend them after using one. I used to have the base model, $50 one. I found out that 1) it was hard to put the Android app store on there, 2) it only came with 90 day warranty. I also found it very slow. But some students do enjoy using it and I guess you don't have to worry about having it banged up during your rotations. If you are interested in one, I'd recommend getting at least the upgraded model Fire 8 (https://www.amazon.com/All-New-Amazon-Fire-HD-8-8-Inch-Tablet-8GB/dp/B018SZT3BK) since that one should have at least the 1 yr warranty.

u/MrWally · 3 pointsr/pcgaming

I tried looking into this a year or two ago (albeit, I didn't look that hard).

I think your best bet will be a Windows 10 tablet with a controller mount. That will handle some games and emulation, with the possibility of using a streaming service.

I tried this tablet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYZEPGP/ref=psdc_1232597011_t1_B01H3B17R8

For the price, it's a really cool little device. I played some of my favorite old school classics on it, and managed to get some emulators going decently well. But I ended up returning it after a few weeks. You really need at least 4gb of RAM to have a viable Windows experience. If you can, I would also shoot for at least an Atom x5 Z8350. The Atom processors really aren't built for gaming, but they're cheap. And will stream content well.

If you're willing to jump to 10 inches, you can get something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-10-1-Touchscreen-1920x1200-Marshmallow/dp/B071Z6XPDZ/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542308120&sr=1-6&keywords=tablet+Intel+Atom+x5-Z8550

And then pair it with a Bluetooth gamepad. Or a Steam Controller for greater flexibility, if you're willing to drop the joycon feel.

u/Michiganders · 1 pointr/SuggestALaptop

My best suggestion would be the Acer Switch alpha 12 which is currently pretty cheap on Amazon. It comes with a keyboard, but I believe a pen is sold separately. It's a pretty solid 12.5" convertible that comes with good specs and a decent battery life

Also consider the Surface Pro 4 for a bit more. Keyboard must be purchased separately though ($70-$110).

u/Chezzabe · 1 pointr/Nexus7

None are available yet but from Amazon we will have a offical premium cover, a travel case, screen protector and you got the slip cover on Google Play Store.
Depending on the price I think I am going with the "ASUS Nexus 7 FHD Official Premium Cover". If its anything like my Nexus 4 Bumper is I know its going to be a flawless fit and it looks really varietal.
Now to only wait for it to be for sale.

I can heartily recommend my Galaxy Note 10.1, though there are probably much better options now to choose from. Microsoft's Surface for example also features pressure sensitive pens and would let you run Photoshop (if you bought a copy) or the GIMP.

Addendum:
Looks like Samsung has a 12.2 version out now which is far better than my tablet. Right now going for $512 US it looks like. If you have the money, tablets are wonderful day to day things.

u/Logseman · 2 pointsr/androidtablets

The Asus Zenpad S8 looks quite good. It's got an 8 inch retina screen which looks gorgeous, it's perfectly competent in terms of specs, and you've got it for 180 bucks which gives you some breathing room for a cover or something. Plus, it's Prime-enabled.

Combining Prime Day, Amazon Student, and Prime Now I got it down to $3.33 without even paying for prime.

Prime - Free for 6 months for college students. Also happens to stretch perfectly to spring semester's textbook buying season.

Alright then. Brand-spanking new, 2015 Kindle Fire - $49.99, and that sucker has two cameras, kindle software and access to unlimited Kindle cloud storage, etc. etc. And again, that's retail.

Want to go cheaper? RCA 7" Tablet $39.99, retail.

Could they afford it? Absolutely! If they can afford to print weekly bulletins, and to buy prayer books, hymnals, and possibly even pew bibles, then they can afford the tablets. I'm also not banning the printed books; if this still isn't feasible for your congregation in 2015, then no worries. Let's see where you are in 2020.

> Tablets are more delicate than books

I don't think this is true anymore. A Kindle with even a little bit of a protective covering is nigh indestructible. I also don't think that people are as callous with other's belongings as you think, but that's just my naive optimism talking. Suffice it to say that my parish has a sense of shared ownership when it comes to church property and we treat it with respect.

u/CrystalCritz · 1 pointr/FinalFantasy

I'm thinking of doing this! Which Surface Pro do you have? I'm thinking of getting this one here. I was wondering how well VIII's mods would work on it.

I'm really excited to see someone tried out the same idea I was thinking of!

I really find having split controllers comfortable, and having the boosters and mods would be great. Plus, I figure it would let me play a good number of the FFs that aren't on the Switch while still having just that screen & controller only feel. (Just not the later, more graphics-intensive FFs.)

u/iX1911 · 2 pointsr/tablets

Bought the Amazon Fire HD 8 on Christmas. It's great for the price and while the build quality feels average, I'm still more confident in it lasting longer than cheap Chinese tablets.

I think the Fire HD 8 is great for web-browsing, reading and light gaming. The battery is good, the SoC feels good enough for my needs and it is really easy to side-load the regular Google play store (takes 3 min, just download and install 4 apks).

My only wish is for the screen to be higher quality, but it's hard to complain with such a great budget tablet.

u/Skvli · 2 pointsr/tablets

I know you're specifically asking about 7 inchers, but I don't know of any. I DO know that my Huawei Mediapad M3 (8 inch) was about $300 and is the best piece of tech I've ever owned in the bang for your buck category. Great screen, fast enough, and handles everything I've thrown at it. I'm in USA though, not sure if that affects what you're able to get or not.

u/Aperture_Kubi · 3 pointsr/gaming

So this might be a bit of a stretch to setup, but a Windows tablet with EmulationStation. It's basically a RetroPi (well the front end it uses), but since it's on a beefer Windows tablet you have a larger array of games (and storage) to work with, plus built in screen so it's portable. And since it runs full Windows you can connect any controller of your choice, and any other games or programs of your choice (Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Twitch, Steam, Origin, GoG, etc).

I'm a personal fan of the Surface Pro 4, though I understand if you want something cheaper to lug around like that. I think the SP3's still hold up well.

Also I believe the latest iteration of the XB1 controller supports bluetooth (and audio passthrough for 3.5mm headphones)

u/mistical · 2 pointsr/AskTechnology

Most likely, yes. That's relatively a small amount of space today considering how most games and even apps are gaining in size. Also not all apps or games can be moved to the SD storage, which it sounds like you may know already but if not, now you do. You also need to make sure that his tablet has an SD card slot to even try it, if you decide to buy it from him unless you checked on this already.

How much are you buying this tablet for? If you want a relatively cheap tablet, I highly recommend the Amazon Fire 7" Tablet for $50. You can't go wrong with this cheap tablet or even consider another Amazon Fire tablet at a slightly higher price and better specs.

I know it's been as low as $40, never checked if cheaper than that over the holidays. It's a great tablet for your simple everyday stuff. Especially if you throw on your own custom OS such as Cyanogenmod which is now dead but this version still will work, otherwise other custom OS's can be looked into here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire

ASUS Zenpad Z500M seems like a better value right now unless you really want the updates quick or want a smaller form factor. I have one coming tomorrow and I'll be happy as long as it gets firmware updates eventually. You get a lot more for just $99.

Here's a review of the tablet!

u/artistebot · 1 pointr/tablets

There are several styluses that will work on Samsung devices w sPen (Notes, Tab A w sPen, MS Surface pro 1/2..)

Wacom Bamboo Stylus

Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 S Pen with Eraser

Fujitsu Stylus Pen

Wacom Grip Pen UP-911E-02DD

IMHO, they all suffer from cursor off-set with the exception of the new "Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus" that seems to be most comparable to an actual sPen. The other choice is the Samsung Spen w Eraser. If you are comfortalbe with pen offset the Fujitsu and Wacom grip have two side buttons.

You may consider getting the newly released Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen 10.1. It has comparable performance to the Note 2014, but the Spen technology is better with 2046 (maybe 4096..) levels of pressure (double) and tilt recognition. Currently only Clover Paint, and Art Rage recognize stylus tilt, and possibly the beta version on Infinite Painter.

This kindle is something I've been wanting lately. I've been trying to read more since school kind of ruined it for me (I was the typical girl who didn't care for school and all that stuff), but its weird that lately I've been wanting to read a lot. Its like I've been missing weird stories and I don't want to just watch TV all the time, you know? But a lot of people I've talked to had said this is good for when you are constantly on the go, which I have been lately.

But other than the kindle, the one thing I want supersupersuper bad is to give back to everyone on here. (cheesy right? Trust me, I know but its 1000% honest) My family and I have been having one of the worst years that I can ever remember, and people on reddit helped us a lot when it came to help make Christmas good for my nieces, so my main goal is to give back and help anyone and everyone I can. Everyone on here has been so nice, and big-hearted and I want to try to make anyones day that I can just a little bit better anyway I can. Whether that's with little cards/letters in the mail, or little things that they want/need and can't get it themselves.

You are really an amazing person for doing this<3

u/pier25 · 0 pointsr/applehelp

Honestly the iPad mini doesn't have a very good screen. The colors are noticeably less vibrant than the other retina iPads (3,4,Air). I noticed it at an Apple store, my wife didn't seem to care but for me it was quite annoying as I'm a color freak designer. I turns out I was right about the inferior screen.

If you want iOS I'd say get and iPad Air, or maybe wait to see if Apple announces a new mini.

If you can't afford it and are ok with Android, for 300$ you can get an Nvidia Shield Tablet, which is one of the most powerful tablets, even more than the iPad Air.

If you don't need much power, for about 200$ you should be able to find a 2013 Nexus 6 tablet, which is still a great tablet for regular use and has an amazing screen.

It depends in what size are you looking at but you can get the Nexus 7 for $239.99

If you are in the market for something a bit bigger, the 8-inch Samsung Tab 4 seems like a solid contender at that price point ($219.99)

That's a great price for a tablet! Did a super fast research and found that the amazon fire has support for bluetooth and low energy accessories (see additional features) and you don't need to root anything to be able to download android apps to it. You only need an android device and a computer.

Have never done this myself but it seems plausible :)

NVIDIA and Nexus have both good reviews and have been out for a long time (not sure about the newest Dell). Aparently, NVIDIA and Nexus both runs android, with an NVIDIA touch and with vanilla respectively. As for Dell Venue, it runs Windows 8. I think all are reasonable prices for those devices, but they aren't the most updated in the line so I am unsure of the support you might get from the manufacturers. You can also look at Google's Pixel C if you want something up-to-date.

> I do know I don't want an LCD screen. I know that.

Why? You can get a Kindle Fire for $50. Why get just an e-reader that can't do nearly as much? With a Kindle, you have almost the entire world of Android apps at your disposal (I've side-loaded Google apps like Google Earth, etc.).

> Is there a night mode? Black site white font?

Not a night mode necessarily, but you can set it to a black background and white text, which is what I use. I exclusively do my reading on a Kindle Fire. At night I turn the brightness all the way down, and I never have trouble reading outside on the admittedly rare occasions I do, with the brightness up.

To put it in perspective, I read the entire Malazan series on my Kindle a couple of years ago over the course of about 8 months. It still keeps a charge for about 8~10 hours straight, even these four years later.

Admittedly, I have a Kindle Fire 2'nd Generation (2012), because I find the USB and power button much easier to manage than the newer models. Also I develop Android applications and use the Kindle to debug and test them.

I'm a recently retired engineer in the same position looking for a new laptop to support my own photography while out traveling. I have been looking at the Dell Ultrabook XPS series and have come very close to ordering, when my son (also an engineer) ordered one for himself. He sent it back after 2 days with screen problems, and is now back to looking again.

One of the things I do, is to pull up the customer reviews on Amazon. For the Dell Ultrabook XPS, I'm finding that the reviews are bi-modal - which is to say a large cluster at 5 star and another cluster at 1 star. Either it arrives and you love it, or it has problems and you wind up sending it back - some folks get a replacement and start all over with problems. So, here is an example of what I am referring to .... The experience is going to vary with the model, but there seems to be a trend.

Take a look at the Nvidia Shield K1. Great specs and great price.

u/lvlegabyte · 1 pointr/technology

What size would you like and what's your budget? To be honest, there hasn't been much Android tablets coming out since larger phones ate up a lot of tablet sales.

I prefer the 7ish inch size and went with the Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I really like the 4:3 aspect ratio since I'm using it mostly for reading ebooks and PDFs which are better suited for that over 16X9 screens.

The iPad Mini was my second choice but turned it down since I use an iPhone and I like to use opposing OSes for phone and tablet. However, iPads are updated more often and tend to be supported longer than most android tablets. That being said, I did get an update on my Galaxy Tab A just the other day.

At the moment there is a sale on Kindle Fire for $50 and that's very difficult to say no to, especially for basic needs. A little know how and you can install the Google Play Store and have an overall nice tablet for the cheap

I got this one last January, and it's been great. Comics look great on it, and it's worked very well for eveything else I've used it for, too. This looks like the newer version of it, and it's a good bit cheaper than what I paid for mine. It does only have 1 GB of RAM instead of 2GB, but if you're mainly using it to read comics, that should be more than sufficient.

I got it last year on sale for around $110. Pretty cheap, works well. Occasionally (once every 2-3 months) it'll restart itself due to updates.

Galaxy Note Pro 12.2" is probably the closest you can get to the Note phone. Not sure if they're coming out with a new version soon or not.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-Wi-Fi-Black/dp/B00HWMPSK6

There's also the Note 10.1 as other users have suggested.

Not helpful for your situation, but I was also looking for a tablet similar to my Note that I could take notes with. Landed up getting a Microsoft Surface 3, and have absolutely loved it.

Ninja edit: the issue with the newer Samsung tablets, such a the galaxy tab you mentioned, is that they don't have an s pen. The Note Pro and the 10.1 do have an s pen. So see if that is important before making a decision.

She liked the 9.5" size of the iPad but would be happy with 8".

These are the two I'm eyeing right now:

First choice: Lenovo Tab 2 10-Inch 16 GB - This says it comes with Android 4 but after some research it appears that it can be updated to Marshmallow.

Second choice: LG Electronics G Pad II 8-Inch Tablet (LGV498)

How is it going after 1 month of use? Any issues to report? How's the battery life? Do you use a case with it? If so, which? I am very strongly considering picking up the 10" version of this tablet. It's on Amazon for $179. Thanks!

$350 at the moment on Amazon, if that's in budget. It's a rather nice tablet for non-Hearthstone applications, too; I'd recommend it if you're looking for a larger Android model.

It runs flawlessly on the iPad Air, too, but I think that's about the same price. I work in QA on a lot of mobile products, so I have an assortment of tablets for working on; it's definitely unplayable on the Nexus 7, don't even bother with that.

I've had a Lenovo Tab 4 10" since April and I really love it. I read novels, manga, watch anime, it's very quick and video plays well. Good for web browsing too. Sometimes our home internet will drop for a few hours and I will move my sim card into it and it works like a champ. That might be too expensive, but the wifi only version is only $160

u/forgotamous · 2 pointsr/tablets

Here's a LINK to the zenpad I was refering to.

I wouldn't say I loved the Fire HD 7. Tolerated is a better word. :-). It was an odd device. It was from back in the day when Amazon had rigged FireOS to disable the Google Play Services - so any apps you had purchases on the Google Play Store would have to be re-purchased through Amazon (if they were even available) . Thankfully Amazon has softened their stance on the Google Play Store and you can now install it without having to root the device.

u/LucretiusCarus · 1 pointr/tablets

The xiaomi mipad 2 is a decently priced device. It runs android so your apps will be usable from your Nexus. I have used it and it's a very good tablet.

A lot of people here also praise the nvidia shield.

Edit. There are also a lot of cheap chinese tablets with dual os (android-Windows) that can also double as netbooks. The quality varies though.

u/GeneralELucky · 3 pointsr/PickAnAndroidForMe

Tab S2 is a good choice, especially considering the S3 was intended as a "pro" tablet, isolating its market. However, I can imagine that an S4 will be announced in early Spring 2018, if you wanted to wait.

If you don't, I'd look into the S2, or even the ZenPad 3S10. A recent Android Police podcast gave a strong review for it. It launched with Marshallow and received Nougat in June.

u/blackesthearted · 2 pointsr/kindle

> Also there was nothing on the box or in the instructions about ads which is slightly misleading

If you bought it from Amazon directly, it's in the title: Fire, 7" Display, Wi-Fi, 8 GB - Includes Special Offers, Black, the "special offers" being ads. You can remove them by going to the "Manage Your Content and Devices" section (how to get there may vary by regional site, I'm not sure), clicking "Your Devices", highlighting the Fire, and looking for "Special Offers: Subscribed." Removing ads is $15 on the Fire (though there are "other" ways to remove them, apparently).

As for charging, that I can't help with I'm afraid; mine charges normally. Have you tried changing your USB cable or charger, or turning airplane mode on (which will speed up charging)?

Android apps can be side-loaded, though ones that require Google Play services (like Snapchat) won't run properly. The good news is that one can install Google Play store/services to the Fire in 5-10 minutes (after which you can install apps directly through the Play Store): /r/kindlefire/ should have more info on that.

u/NottaGrammerNasi · 2 pointsr/tablets

I like to keep an eye on the tablet market and the Dell 5855 $450 and HP 608 $420 both have extremely nice 8" tablets that have 4gbs of ram but they're much much more expensive.

If you drop the 4gbs of RAM requirement, then a whole slew of options open up. A friend bought a few of these tablets during Microsofts 12 days of Christmas sale. And they've been holding up so far. He also bought a few of these 5 or so months ago (he has no impulse control) as gifts too. One died shortly after receiving it and he had to pay $20 bucks or so to return it and get shipped back another. If it was me, I might give the NuVision one a try.

I currently have an Asus VivoTab Note 8. Its able to do most things I throw at it, even a bit of GIMP photo editing but I wouldn't suggest multitasking with it and I think that's where the size comes into play. When you get into the 10" size, they start having keyboard options and become more productivity machines than entertainment devices so the additional ram becomes more important.

The last thing to note; Intel may have killed the Atom chip line. I don't think any new 8" tablets have been announced recently and I would suspect the market for them will start to shrivel up but that's just purely speculation on my part.

I've personally found that I've gotten more use out of my 8" Android tablet than my Windows one simply because, at that size, I use it for media consumption and the Android one is easier for that stuff but that's just my 2 cents.

u/Luomulanren · 1 pointr/Nexus

I have used the Nexus 9 since release. I have seen many people complained of various issues but I personally never had any. I love the tablet and have been having a hard time finding a replacement but it's hard to deny that it's rather slow. I use it almost strictly to stream videos from various apps and it does that perfectly fine.

I have never used a Tab S2 so I can't say much about it.

I would recommend looking into Huawei Mediapad M3 Lite and Lenovo Tab 4. I haven't used either but they are newer than the Nexus 9 and Tab S2 so I assume they are faster and their prices are comparable. But if you plan on streaming from Netflix be sure your device can actually stream in HD.

u/HollywoodUpstairs · 6 pointsr/medicalschool

If the rest of your devices live in the Apple ecosystem, the iPad mini is a great device. If you prefer to have the same 7-8" form factor in an Android device, I love my NVIDIA Shield K1. Unfortunately, it's sometimes difficult to find it in stock. The new Huawei Mediapad M3 is another 8" Android device that's getting very solid review.

This is weird. I have 3 sources that I actually trust, giving 3 different numbers:

  • Google Play Store 425g
  • Amazon 435g (converted from 15.4 ounces)
  • Tom's Hardware 480g

    The store links are both to the 16 GB Wifi model. I'm not sure what's going on here, but the actual number doesn't super matter. Even if we take Google's number because it's the official one, the thing is only 5g off from an iPad Air 2 despite being a 9" tablet. It's not even lighter than the 9" Amazon tablet from last year (379g). And it's still 30% heavier than the mini. Basically, the Nexus 9 is bulky. I don't know who its target audience is, but it's certainly not people who want an iPad mini.

Kindle Fire costs $50 with ads (on the lock screen).

It can perfectly run PS1 and NDS games and things before that, besides many Android/Amazon app store games. The only thing is that it doesn't have buttons, so they'll either have to play with an onScreen overlay (which is not too bad) or you'll have to get a controller.

In my opinion it's worth spending a few extra dollars to get the latest Fire. On Amazon you can get it from Amazon Warehouse for ~$28 https://smile.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00TSUGXKE/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

Edit: For a comparison look here: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4524&idPhone2=7609& The newer one has a much better CPU, more RAM, an SD card slot, a camera, and if nothing else is still be supported and should be compatible with many more games.

u/wagon153 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I have a kindle fire HD 8, and its served me pretty well. Not the fastest thing in the world though. Warning though, by default it does NOT come with the Google Play store, only Amazon's. So you would need to sideload it on(dunno if that's an option.)

I also had a Lenovo A10. Very good device. Very responsive, good screen, decent battery life. I was very sad when it got busted(accidently dropped it on a concrete floor. :( ) And it uses the same charging port that most modern phones do, so if the cord isn't long enough, you can buy a longer one for cheap on amazon.

u/lightonahill · 2 pointsr/tablets

Tablets usually have apps that are a lot different than windows. I don't think that there's any tablet that will give you as many programs and as much processing capability than a laptop. I think it's cool to have a tablet as well, but I would never suggest replacing your laptop with a tablet. Get another laptop.

I know from a friend with experience, you can't even play league on a netbook very well. (Your fps will be ~5.)
I do know of a tablet that "transforms" (you attach a keyboard) from a tablet into a keyboard and if you're just looking for something to do some basic word processing, listening to music, playing casual games (think angry birds and sudoku and maybe doodle jump), I would suggest that.
Unfortunately unless you're going to wait for the "Windows Surface" tablet to come out (which by the way, every other version of windows seems to be the bad one- the last one was vista...so 8 might be it), you should just get another laptop. There aren't any tablets (that I know of) that have just windows or mac OS on them, and even if there was, no tablet will have the amount of space (my tablet has about 32 gigs of hard drive space, my laptop has about 300) or processing power (my tablet runs on dual-core processors but it still crashes if I have too many tabs open on chrome while I'm listening to music and have other stuff running in the background) as a laptop.

Aaand for me, the biggest difference between using a laptop and a tablet:
1- The battery life. My laptop's battery is failing but I'm getting a new one. Which is also what's cool about laptops- they are infinitely more serviceable than tablets.
2-The way I sit. If I'm using my laptop sitting in a chair/couch, I can comfortably set it down on my lap or on a surface. But if it's my tablet, and I'm watching a video, it has to be kinda quiet in the room because the speakers are on the back. It can't support itself so (i don't have a base/stand for my tablet, but I could probably use one) if I want to use it without having to hold it up I have to prop it up against something or sacrifice the quality of the sound.

So yeah. If you're looking for a tablet to replace your laptop, I'd say just get another laptop. I don't think tablets are worth the money unless you have the money to spare to have both some form of computer and a tablet. But if you're still looking for a suggestion, I'd suggest this:

If i had $200 and I wanted true HOTAS.

Or maybe consider the MFDs. either option would allow you to basically never use keyboard except to type.
