Just got a transformer book free from work.

Specs: Intel Atom Quad Core Z3740 1.33 GHz (1.86 GHz Burst)
2 GB Memory
32 GB SSD Storage

What the fuck do I do with the sort of Windows tablet thing?
Are there any Linux distros that would work well with it?
What's the practical use of this thing?
>>
Office.
That's it. Office & browsing the web at most.
Maybe movies?
>>

It's terrible. Leaving aside performance and screen, it takes hours to charge and charger always pops off.
>>
I doubt this shit can even run gnome 3 well. Try MATE
>>
>>57101643
I've never even owned a tablet before, what the fuck do people even do with these things?
>>
>>57101893
Running windows 10 fine tho m8
>>
Don't listen to the tards.

I have the T100 with 512 GB HDD Version and I used it for university and web development on the go.

Plays full HD youtube, can run Fallout 3 and other such games without any trouble, even did my SAS exam on it running their VM image.

I didn't thinker much with getting Linux on it, but remember that dual boot was a bitch, probably no issue in just wiping everything and installing just Linux though.
>>
>>57102024
This is a lie.

>>57101400
This will literally freeze up with more than two to three tabs open if you don't have adblock. I don't do much with mine. Mostly write things (office) and occasionally watch porn.

I try to keep it updated. Running in tablet mode helps a ton. The main thing to remember is that you can't really multitask with these things at all.

I have ran Quake 1 on it, and a few emulators, but that's about it.

It really just doesn't have enough ram. Windows on a tablet (or Windows Mobile more specifically) would be dope if it had a little more juice.

>>57101903
As I said, Office & browsing the web. It's a obvious upgrade over browsing the web on your phone - otherwise it's meant to be used exclusively for that type of "productivity".
You could also use it as a eBook reader.

>>57102024
I question it's ability to run Fallout 3 at 30fps even on the lowest settings. Intel Atom is a shit CPU meant for these tablets and it has a insanely poor integrated GPU.
I can vouch for web design, and maybe some programming that doesn't require IDEs or SDKs (Even Visual Studio would run shit on it) BUT you need to be aware that the screen size is a major impairment. The text is too small, and if you actually just make the text bigger you won't see much of it on your screen. It's good - as in it works - but screen size is a handicap. Additionally not a fan of the keyboard - it's not really the best in terms of layout, and the keys are smaller.

>>57102084
The thing isn't magic, 2GBs are obvious not enough to contain your autism.

>>57102127
You can just look at the youtube videos showing it. I even got Fifa 2014 to run on that thing.

Currently wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to Windows 10 for Bash, but may wait a bit more till it's polished.
>>
>>57102127
>>57102276
OP here, I'll try downloading Fallout 3
>>
>>57102276
You not running windows 10 on it? What are you running, 8?

I wonder how big of a performance difference there is.
>>
>>57102311
I may have to try running modded Skyrim with this on too :^)

>>57102373
Just... Just do Morrowind or Oblivion.
>>
>>57101400
I use a similar specced tablet without a base keyboard with 4G connectivity as a web browsing machine, netflix and other streaming machine on the go. It's surprisingly fast however the 2GB RAM shows when you have more than 6 chrome tabs open. It caches them to disk and then reloads them.
>>
>>57102410
Gonna try to find some ultra lightweight browser. Chrome will be way too ram hungry for this little thing.
>>
>>57102463
6 chrome tabs with uBlock is fine. But going over that or doing heavy multi tasking will have your tabs cached to disk except the last 2 active ones. I typically have 2-3 chrome tabs open. One for twitch streams and the other two for generic stuff. Then I have a firefox browser open for 4chan and manga. That way I experience no caching.
>>
>>57102463
You could try Maxthon Nitro or Brave.
>>
>>57102524
>>57102550
Yeah I'll have to see, I usually open so many tabs on my desktop but I found I've been much more conservative with tabs. If I start running into issues I will try out the browsers the other anon recommended.

Fallout 3 is currently downloading too, I'm excited for this.
>>
>>57102348
Running on 8.1, if I remember correctly it came with 8.

Also made a hibernate shortcut as normal sleep options are fucked up.
>>
>>57102311
You'll have to connect an external keyboard to it, otherwise some key combinations won't work. :^)
Sell this shit and get yourself a small thinkpad instead.
Also if you want to keep it anyway upgrade to w10 - at least battery remaining time estimation works as it should on it.
>>
>>57103000
Thanks for the tip regarding sleep options, can already tell they are fucked up.

>>57103040
I've hardly used it without the keyboard on it, tried playing a game of Hearthstone on the shitter once, but meh.

I've been scanning my local classifieds awhile for a think pad, the only one that came up this past 6 months was from 2008(asking the same price as the t100 costs new).

I think I'm just gonna stick with this thing.
>>
I have a Lenovo miix 300 or some shit. Similar specs except I have 64gb storage. Mine has a miniHdmi and microusb port on the tablet and two full sized ports on the keyboard. At max I have the HDMI going to my tv and some external hard drives plugged in to watch shit, or ill hook up my ps3 controllers through Bluetooth and do some light gaming. It'll run what you expect it to, 2d or light 3d games, emulated retro games. I like to set it up beside me hooked up to my tv so I can stream stuff/shitpost/jerk off while I'm doing heavier gaming on my desktop
>>
>>57102348
I have Win 10 on it. It runs fine.

>>57102463
>>57102524
>>57102550
I use Edge on it. I used to use Chrome. I'll need to find another browser. Honestly, it's just the browser that miffs me. UWP apps run fine. Tablet mode is nice. Windows 10 on a tablet (I have a 7 incher too, about the same specs), works great. It's just the browser that gives me some issues.
>>
>>57102024
>>57102311
I'm having trouble with fallout 3, says windows 10 is not compatible or some shit. Might have to mess around with it a little.
