Does anyone on /g/ own a Windows tablet?

What do you use it for? Web browsing is a pain because there's no good dedicated "apps" for browsing and typing on the on-screen keyboard is a pain without proper working text prediction and "swipe" input.
I should've just gotten an Android tablet instead.

>>58352207
I do, terrible without a proper keyboard
>>
>>58352207
manga and porn
>>
>>58352221
both would be better on android

perfect viewer has auto single page view and a better bookshelf view than the windows alternatives
>>
>>58352245
Maybe, but it isnt on a X61t with a fucked keyboard i got for $40.
>>
>>58352207
good for VNs

>>58352207
I have an HP Stream 7 that I mostly use for cutting lines on these days. I do actual shit with my iPad, windows tablets are crap.
>>
I have an Asus t100 (hybrid) and even as the tablet only part it works well with w10, the intel Atom and only 2gb of ram.

I'm using this right now, the 128gb/4gb version. Yeah, Cuckdows isn't designed for touch input. It kinda sorta works but it's far from perfect. I use it as a netbook most of the time anyway.

Andoid tablets are way better for reading.
>>
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad 8 that's still on 8.1, did they neuter all the touch input on 10?
>>
>>58352658
I have the same thing

eh, the biggest advantage of having desktop Windows on a tablet is desktop Windows, put a little keyboard and you can do literally anything on it.

I find the touch input of W10 kinda irritating but it seems that is a constant work in progress, the touch experience on 8.1 felt far more polished.

I have an HP Envy Note 8.

I don't have any issues using firefox and the onscreen keyboard.

The only minor pain is when I read manga and need to toggle firefox between fullscreen and normal mode.
>>
VN and Anime machine.

Not that bad honestly.

Are Windows tablets capable of using a Miracast TV/Monitor/Receiver as an extended display over wifi?

You probably need Intel-based tablets for such a thing, right (Intel WiDi supports Miracast, from what I'm reading)?
>>
>>58352503
This tablet gives me boner evritim
The fact you can charge it through usb port, which means you can go full mobile for weeks with just power banks
Also new model has USB C port. Just take my money
>>
I have a cheap one that I used for on the road & in bed VN reading.

It did the job, but it's terrible for anything else, including web browsing unless you're incredibly patient and have a keyboard.

I went ahead and bought a surface 3 and haven't looked back. The atom is surprisingly good enough for anything I throw at it as long as it's not 4k video or gaymen. Neither of which I give a damn about since I have a powerful desktop to do that shit on.

How are browser mouse gestures on a Windows tablet?
>>
>>58352207
do NOT, under ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCE, use a tablet with less than 2GB of ram
>>
It's useless other than VN
>>
>>58352207
>What do you use it for? Web browsing is a pain because there's no good dedicated "apps" for browsing

It's called Chrome you retard and it works perfect on a Windows tablet.
>>
>>58352207
/g/ memed me into getting one. Don't do it. Full Windows is not meant for tablets.
I got an nvidia shield and it was actually easier to use
>>
>>58355450
Less than 2GB? I thought they killed those already.
>>
>>58352207
They are shit. My desktop constantly treats it like another PC instead of a tablet complicating shit.
>>
>use keyboard case and mouse
>100% legit laptop
ask anything

>>58352216

Are there no bluetooth keyboards available for Windows tablets?
>>
>>58352207
Got a cheap one for $150. Never again. Windows might be somewhat decent on PCs but it's absolute trash on tablets.
>>
>>58352207
no apps

I've got Dell Venue Pro 11 (atom, 2gb of ram) (also had Surface2).
2 gb was barely enough to run the system, but after some tunning (disabled defender and search, got rid of some Dell and Intel shit, installed Labrys for start menu) it became rather agile.
Using it as dedicated doc / mail reader, for sketching (with Fresh paint, too bad Krita still doesn't support high dpi nor touch input), a bit for casual gaming. Also surprisingly it can handle Visual Studio.

>>58358430
you are mistaking regular windows tablets with ARM-based Windows-RT devices
>>
>>58352207
>Does anyone on /g/ own a Windows tablet?
Yes a veneue pro 8
>What do you use it for?
I use it for web browsing, twitch, netflix, iptv, pirated tv shows when I'm staying at a hotel.
>Web browsing is a pain because there's no good dedicated "apps" for browsing
Why the fuck would you need a locked down "app" for web browsing? You have banana sized fingers or something? Just use chrome or firefox with ublock.
>typing on the on-screen keyboard is a pain without proper working text prediction and "swipe" input.
It's not like Android keyboards are good either. I'd love a win 10 mobile keyboard though.
>I should've just gotten an Android tablet instead.
ok

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad tablet 2 and it's slow as shit. It takes at least 30 seconds to actually start Firefox and then it takes even longer to go to websites.

Any suggestions?
>>
>>58359030
stop using firefox

>>58359030
Disable windows defender and pretty much any other lenovo and shit windows service. And it may take 30 seconds to load firefox and any other program right after boot before every shitty windows thing is loaded.
