I went with the galaxy tab s 8.4 instead of the nexus 7 (2013) or the nexus 9. Had it for a few months so far and am really enjoying it.

DorianGravy posted:I'd like to get a tablet with a keyboard-cover that I can toss in a bag and occasionally type on (preferably Word). Something like a Surface, but hopefully cheaper. It needs to have a keyboard (something thin) and can't be too delicate, since it'll be jostled around in a bag sometimes. It would be nice if I could use it as a beginner drawing tablet, but that's not necessary. Any ideas? The Tab S3 has a really slick keyboard cover, but is a little pricey.

A phone is a lifeline, a tablet is a toy. I'm still using a Samsung Tab S 8.4. it slowed to poo poo so I threw Lineage OS on there. It should now last me until the Tab S4 comes out. Thinking about spending 13 bucks on eBay and getting a new battery. I get like 3 hours SOT currently (watching poo poo in flights).

The MediaPad M5 8.4 may fit your needs, or a dirt cheap Fire tablet (though the screens are crap resolution). Edit: Forgot the loving MediaPad removed the headphone jack.

Does anyone really take pictures with a tablet? I understand the front facing camera for video chat, but I have never used mine to take actual photos.

Ah yes, I was thinking strictly holding up a big tablet to take a picture of your Starbucks or whatever people do.

I carry both my XPS 13 and my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (need to replace soon) when I travel. Laptop for work stuff, tablet for media/games. I don't notice a difference in the weight of my bag with the tablet in or out.

You can always replace the battery for like $20.

All Android tablets are going to have some sort of USB port for charging? The S5e is a step up from the A and still in your price range. You could also look at the MediaPad M5, which has two different screen sizes depending on how portable you want to go.

Yeah, it's a brutal gap between way too expensive and garbage cheap. Galaxy Tab A8 is probably the closest?

I'm mildly annoyed that Samsung keeps making larger and larger Tab S devices every year. I went from a Tab S 8.4 (8.4") to a Tab S6 (10.5"). The smallest Tab S8 is 11". I don't want a tablet that is the size of my laptop damnit.

I have my old Surface Pro 3 mounted on the wall for this purpose, obviously overkill, I'd like to put that elsewhere and just get some cheap tablet to do this. Not looking to spend Samsung money. Wondering if someone maybe has tried their luck with no name/amazon/china stuff and has had success? Looking for 10"+ The Samsung Tab A8 is 10.5" and is like $230?

BoldFace posted:I've never heard of a tablet that claims to have GPS support but does not have the actual receiver chip. Can you give an example? If you know the model number of the chipset a tablet uses, you can simply look up the specs on the manufacturer's website to see if it has a GPS/GNSS receiver. Is GSM arena trustworthy for this? I always use it for spec lookups and comparison. Two random Samsung tabs shoved in for example. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11343&idPhone2=10933

HamburgerTownUSA posted:Tab S 8.4 (from 2014) running Lineage OS to get it on Android 10, Alright, I still have one of these from launch, I absolutely love the small size and the case that like buttons onto the back. You can get Android 13 on there now, which was a little bit more responsive, but this thing is pretty much toast. Replaced it with a Tab S6 when they launched, but still would like something smaller than 10.5". I have an iPad Pro 12.9" for work crap testing, and holy hell this thing is massive. Not my cup of tea.
