Thread: What's the state of play with tablets?

I maybe going to need something personal and portable for emails and forums

Any tablets better than others?
Will they all accept input from separate keyboards?

As you will suspect i know nothing about them.

Sent from my all-in-one desktop

Been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016 for over a year been very reliable and reasonably priced.

I raised the phone stakes to a 6.44" Xiaomi Mi Max so I have a decent browser in my pocket (its a tight fit!)

Not much use for posting but browsing is much better on a phablet than a phone.

Plus you always have it with you (since it is your phone).

I got this for 2.5k the other day. Great just for browsing the net and a few games. Banana it delivered it same day too.

I've used Samsung tablets for 5 years now and can't praise them enough.

It's my ebook reader, forum browser, in class computer, travel computer, class game console and its how I enter my grades for my classes.

This 10" beauty cannot be beaten for travel, especially with the battery life.

Takes a MicroSD memory card too; you can add a bluetooth keyboard if you need to type a lot.

Also 802.11ac Wifi.

Dogs bollocks but a bit hard to find; I had to order mine from Amazon Germany.

I have a Samsung as well, a 12" for the kitchen (wall mounts) but it is nowhere near this for travel.

Oh, and the retractable bracket thing you see at the bottom doubles up as a stand or a hangar, too. Sits nicely on an airplane table, and you can adjust the angle to suit.

I bought a Samsung ages ago (4 or 5 years). It's started misbehaving a bit recently and I guess it's going to die in the fairly near future but it's done sterling service.

Great thing about Samsungs is that if ya do have an Issue any fooker can fix them here in BKK.

Ive never had an issue though.

Reliable as fook.

I saw that in IT City in Mega Bang Na the other day. Way out of my price range so didn't look for long

My favourite thing right now is the Porn Hub app.

^ My kids have 2 of them ... can't kill them and, believe me ... they try.

For 2 1/2 k, a very fair price, though an older model.

^ We have one of these also, but that looks like a Yoga 3 ... we have the model before.

Works well and yep, great battery life.

I have been traveling a lot recently and the second hand iPad I bought from a mate who was upgrading has been a real boon on the move. Merkin English spell checker is the only downside.
Ideal for movies, email and posting shit on here.
Best camera I ever had too.

For the latest I visit TabletMonkeys

Bt10,000 is out of your price range?

Fuck me that is a quiet night out in Nana for me.

I don't use iShit, but you're telling me there isn't a British English spell checker on the gay ipad?

Looks like my second hand suggestion is out of range as well.

Must be a bitch being on such a tight leash.

Fook that eh.

There probably is. I just haven't stumbled on yet.

I prefer it to the constant updates and glitches with windows.

iPad or kindle fire here.

I don't know about glitches, but as for updates, I suppose when no-one bothers hacking ipads they don't need them.

Plus the owners are too fucking skint to rob having spent all their money on some overpriced, glorified mouse mat.

Here you go, it's not difficult.

These ipad things are designed for people who find real computers too complicated.

Like Buttplug.

Must admit defaulting to Merkin English spell checkers does cause me a tad of aggravation.Although the way their southern neighbours are pouring in Spanish will soon be the dominant language if it's not already. Speaking of which is their a correct English spell checker available on TD?
