FISHMANPET posted:I need a tablet to read 500 page paper size pdfs. I tried out a fire 10 at target and it seemed to be able to handle the file just fine. So I'm leaning that way. Something cheap and simple. i have one of these https://www.amazon.com/ZenPad-2048x1536-Android-Titanium-Z500M-C1-GR/dp/B01MATMXZV?th=1 the only issue i have is that the home button is kinda wonky but i think that might just be mine since i couldnt really turn up anybody w that issue while googling it i also have a BT keyboard on it actually. the fintie KB/Case that is designed for that tablet. pretty good poo poo.

Space Gopher posted:Google hasn't broken the Play store on Fire tablets; they've just made it so you have to individually configure each device on your account. It's just another step in the setup process, which wasn't the most intuitive thing in the world to begin with. i would have grabbed an ipad myself but lol if i was carrying around a lightning cable when my laptop and 2 phones are usb-c

Yeah though depending on the carrier getting phones unlocked is still too much bullshit compared to what it should be. 100% better now than it ever has been in USA. I work in the industry and have to deal with all the carriers on a daily basis and so maybe im more jaded than i should be

android tablets are a barren hellscape i have this one though https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1286014-REG/asus_z500m_c1_gr_9_zenpad_3s_mtk_8176_4gb_64gb_android.html its built really nice and has good specs. i got it instead of an ipad because my phones and laptop both use USB-C already so not having a different charger was appealing to me. i also enjoy android its probably overpriced

Lube banjo posted:I never really understood the Android vs apple environment debate. Touch the icon to open things, that's it. I guess learning how to double click the apple button to navigate apps is different but that's like one tiny thing that a 5 year old can pick up in 30 seconds. Those are obviously the only differences

codo27 posted:I have one at home from a client as well that belonged to their dead sister or something and had no way to get into the account and thus no way to unlock the loving thing. I feel like these things cause more trouble for honest situations than preventing theft. I dont think Knox, et al, are designed to prevent device theft per se.

Endless Mike posted:I mean, Apple device theft had a significant drop after they made it so a device can't be used by anyone but the owner. KNOX does similar, as far as I'm aware, so even if data security is the main goal, device theft prevention is a useful side effect. lol if you think tablet thieves know what Knox is

m.hache posted:I did see some concerns on build quality, like the SD card slot was loose and the back had some give like it was empty space. I actually just noticed the back thing the other day for the first time (until recently i kept it in a case 100% of the time) it is why i deducted 2 points actually. I did put an SD card in mine and havent had any issues with that, but I haven't futzed with it since day one of ownership back in november or so last year E: downloading KOTOR right now

KOTOR played really smoothly and the controls were good (idk if you've played it for android otherwise) My only gripe is that I found it a bit dark, even when maxing out the screen brightness and game brightness. I've never found that screen to be particularly dark before tbh either so I think its possibly that game.

bolind posted:What would a good Android tablet for a car GPS be? Must have GPS (duh), SIM, LTE preferably and not be wider than 220mm or so. For GPS exclusively ? Are you using some sort of interesting program or just maps/waze? If it's just Google maps or waze, if you're in America your cell provider should have a free tablet they'll provide you if you activate a line of service with them. Those are almost universally quad-core ARM chips with 1.5-2 gb of RAM. I have an Alcatel a30 that, while it's a piece of poo poo , was good enough for gps- which is what I bought it for

I use my own tablets for (ocean) boating and as a smart component on an otherwise stupid pickup truck and trust me , I had the identical process re: cords. My phones and laptops are all usb c The tablet offerings are THAT slim that I still regret my choice. Legit wish I had just grabbed iPad then grabbed lightning cables off Slickdeals as needed Mind you I don't even like iOS or anything E: though I do have an iPad pro for work and tbh.. it's pretty nice

^^ Chromebook is a pretty good idea too. You'll end up with a better/bigger keyboard and probably more versatility unless whatever app you're running on android would have a compatibility issue. You doing some sort of telco mapping or something? Nomenclature posted:I'm looking for a cheap, lightweight, laptop form-factor Android device for taking out into the field and logging radio contacts. do you basically need an android tablet and a keyboard? thats what it sounds like you need. For potential inspiration purposes: https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-ZenPa...=gateway&sr=8-6 - thats the one i have for my model, they make a bunch. as far as device.. being able to bring your own bluetooth keyboard like that opens the field up pretty wide, probably including the current gen amazon tablets Worf fucked around with this message at 23:16 on May 23, 2019 |

FWIW, I have an iPad pro through work (i manage accounts, no creation or anything etc, so its mainly office suite) but Chrome Remote Desktop works great on it so for some PC/heavy lifting stuff maybe remoting through ipad is an option?

headlight posted:Remoting would be a great option but are you keyboard and touch bound or does a mouse work? I have not used a mouse on it actually since I also have to carry a laptop, but i HAVE used a mouse on android tablet before (basically had a folio case/kb/bluetooth mouse) and it was definitely rudimentary but in the "good enough for what i need it for" department I cant genuinely say its a great solution but I can genuinely say you could probably find a way to try it yourself for free and make the determination

The best you can do is actually name the names, rather than coming in here and showing everybody your math in copious detail and then waiting for us to coax the answer out of you. E: to be clear, it seems like you did good work but my work flow for fraud starts at who before it goes to how You just said a bunch of nonsense that I assume isn't even real because you intentionally and willfully didn't provide the only relevant piece of data in the whole set 😇

I became a lot less interested in how constricted iOS was compared to Android as soon as I realized how easy it was to offload those tasks to a remote machine (ie, torrenting, etc) Chrome remote desktop app works pretty darn well too. Basically what I'm saying is I'm not an apple fan but iPads rule

We've been using those words in English for a long time. People have been "drinking in the view" or other poo poo forever. You could sit here and think of endless examples of this in English.

Pretty messed up to assume the ads arent genuinely impacting performance. Also cost you more in electricity. Totally fine to get them off that way.
