Windows tablet

>>57802978
Yes, I love my Dell Venue 8 Pro. Actually a full fledged Browser, native CIFS, visual novel goodness. Everything is better on a windows tablet than on an ipad or android if you know what you are doing.

>>57803147
This. Despite the blatant lack of UWP (and the few touchscreen based apps available being complete shit), a windows tablet does pretty much everything better than android.

>literally a laptop with touchscreen
>You can do a dualboot with x86 Android

Any good programs for an on screen keyboard for games? Like a d pad and customizable other buttons.

I also have a DV8 Pro which I use for coding and some light gaming.

On the fence if I should put Win10 on it.

Best tablet out right now

tab pro 8.4 with better cpu

Just got a free LG 10.1 tab and while it's ok hardware and software it's pretty useless. I have my phone and laptop. Why need the tab? Never understood

>>57803858

For bedtime reading/watching netflix. My phone screen is too small and my laptop is a piece of shit that overheats easily.

I had w10 on mine since november update last year. Until Anniversary update it had huge problems with wifi. snapping to apps side by sode didn't work and battery life was noticeably reduced. Since updating to AU the thing works 110%. No problem what so ever. And battery life is noticeably better.
IMO you should update to w10

I guess that's kinda negated by my setup. I live in a small studio because fuck roommates. My couch/place I sleep faces my 60in TV that doubles as my monitor

If it's dirt cheap, yes.

There's an italian company here who makes and sells crappy Atom baytrail tablets at the cost of a Rasp Pi.
Win10 runs badly on it, but it runs emulators well enough.. and it has screen, flash and bluetooth builtin. Battery life is horrible and it will eat the battery even under charge if it's on and showing a video.

You can probably get better deals (2GB ram tablets, for example) from chinks or pay more to get the ones that can run Linux well enough (ie. Dell Venue) for actual use.

Pic is what I used one of those for: Portable emulation station to play with friends, using a cheapo GoPro-clone bag, pads and powerbank.
Oh, it also runs Steam games (Towerfall Ascension at full speed).

>>57804268
forgot to mention. With w10 the DV8P is just as snappy and fast as it was with w8.1.1.

>>57804393
that is pretty sweet idea. How big batter pack do you use? How long does it last?

>>57804393
Is that the Vi8 Ultimate? I got the same stuff for like 50USD. It's totally worth it desu.

>>57804431
It's 10Ah, I spent almost 30 euros on it because that form factor (credit card-sized) was the only one it would barely fit in that place and would hold a big enough charge.

It's also the only power bank I've ever used that can charge AND be charged at the same time, all the cheapo ones I had so far turned off when I started charging them, so that was nice.

I never played enough to let it discharge completely, so I can't answer that question. Longest session I recall was probably around 2 hours, taking turn with friends and letting them play with each other while I was doing other things. Tablet internal battery went down to ~30/40% at that point (can't recall more specific data, sorry).
Do note however that the tablet will eat its entire internal battery before the power-bank can give out its full charge, so even if I wanted I cannot literally have a long enough session to make it discharge completely.

>>57804500
I wish! It's a Mediacom W700 (italian brand), sporting an awful 1GB of ram. I didn't want to risk with chinks for my first tablet, so I went for something that I could return.
I tried installing Linux (Arch.. I know I know..) and didn't get Wifi, touch or sound to work, so I gave up.

The Vi8 Ultimate seems to have 2GB of ram, which would make it much better.

On that note, I forgot to mention a couple things about these tablets:
- Bay/Cherry trail support in Linux is "tricky", it works, but they require specially compiled kernels
- Touch and sound are hit or miss, some (Dell Venue) are well supported, other (like mine) just nothing.
- The EFI is 32bit.. so the installed Win10 is 32bit. Linux (thanks to GRUB I think?) can run in 64bit regardless of that, but Windows is locked to the past. Some apps might not work because of that.

>>57804514
how much does the battery of the tablet last on its own?
My DV8P for example can last for about 8 h of web browsing if the screen is sett to minimal brightness (which is still bright enough for indoor use). Intensive gaming would probably reduce it to 3 h.

>>57804615
I'd say 4/5 hours at best under those conditions, although I wonder if the battery getting hot (thanks to its super-cheap build quality, I would assume) affects it.

Now if only it could run linux with TLP, then it would probably be much more viable..

Dell Venue Pro 8 user here too

I'm officially over Android and the whole apps meme

having a Win tablet means I have better synchronisity over my devices. I'd rather have full Opera browser with All Mangas reader extension than a Manga App that is too buggy and makes my favorites disappear

Windows is still shit when it comes to doing touch properly. It needs a back button like Android and a better keyboard. However, for logging into and doing work remotely and having a minimal footprint, Windows tablets are great.

>>57805301
I tried to do it anon but it keeps saying I don't have enough space to update. I DELETED EVERYTHING MAN, EVERYTHNG

>>57806266
You gotta use a USB stick to overflow the files over. Google it I did it with my tablet.

If my gayman pc gets stuttering and lag when emulating some SNES games, there's no way that doesn't.

>>57802978
Android and iOS are way too limited for me. If all you do is browse and check facebook its fine i guess.

I just love being able to run desktop apps as well and if you set scaling a little higher they work fine with touchscreen too.

>>57802978
Are there any $100 or $50 Windows tablets?

Thanks

>>57808465
I'm not saying it's any good though, do your research

I have the Chuwi Hibook

Currently using Android at the Library because it is comfy. Windows is more useful since it supports the SD card slot and Photoshop.

>>57802978
no. usually they dont get updates and may have locked bootloaders. i would get a windows tablet and install a real linux distro on it.

>>57806266
media creation tool is a protip

Tablets are the one thing Windows is good for, I only buy Android/Windows dual boot tablets now.

>>57805301
where did u buy it? anyone can recommend a place to buy a 30$ windows tablet? thanks

If you want a productivity tablet, get Windows tablet. If you just want to dick around on the facebook, any tablet will do.

>>57808600
It doesn't support the SD on Android?

>>57806582

My raspberry pi 2 plays just about everything at full speed, wtf is your CPU?

What are some good old windows (also have controller support) games that still run ok on DV8P and have split screen mode. Or maybe just somegood old games with controller support?

>>57802978
Yes. Burg your money, nigger! NOW!

Protip: install a program called TouchMousePointer. It's a virtual trackpad.

does this works in full-screen vidya?

I typically don't care for Apple's products, especially recently, but there's no reason to get a tablet that isn't an iPad. t...b...quite...h

Android is chink-tier OS

what about no flash and no webbums?

>>57818118

>webbums
eh...I can live without them, I guess. basically every other tablet is really laggy, bulky, doesn't function well as a tablet, or a combination of all three.

>>57817972
Even worse than Android tablets
