tablets are a meme, an expensive meme

I use my tablet to avoid printing documents, building codes, design manuals etc.

Mi pad 2, cost like £150 bong bux.
4:3 aspect
Retina (tm) display
7.9"

Worth it in my opinion

thinking about getting a tablet for that and picture display. or ill just have to start printing pictures, not sure which. but you cant really show pictures on a computer, just doesnt work. im thinking of loading them on a sd card and putting them on a tablet.

Woot regularly sells Amazon refurbed Kindle Fire 8.9s for $40

That's a shitty Galaxy S3 level piece of hardware but come on, a 9 inch 1920x1200 screen is pretty sweet at that price

Can you put lineage on that one?

No they're not, i myself got a nexus 7 mark II before getting my OnePlus one. Now it serves as a alarmclock and nothing more. Expensive alarmclock if you ask me.

Get an older Nexus tablet if you want Lineage

>tfw my Nexus 10 battery finally shit the bed
It won't hold a charge for longer than a few seconds anymore. I'd buy a new battery, but I only use it for comics in bed. What would other anons do in this situation?

I have a tablet solely because my telco offered a good deal with a data only plan... I then took the data sim out(which is 3gb a month for $8) and put it in my dual sim phone, with a PAYG sim for texting and phone calls(though the 3gb data plan also includes unlimited texting on it... but then id have to manage 2 numbers).

I only power it on every few weeks to keep it updated.

Its a LG Gpad3. If it supported MHL or Slimport, id probably use it as a media center for my TV... but they pulled that feature off. Sucks too, cause it has a full-size USB port on it, so it would be a pretty elegant setup, not OTG adapters or mess of wires.

I think the tablet, out the door, was $40, with a 2 year contract for the data plan(which is like $200 over 2 years)
