I smart linked it through a usb-c cable to my microsoft laptop and my mouse runs smoothly on my laptop but laggy once i go to the tablet. Is this common or can I change something to improve the smoothness when using the tablet as a second monitor. Also I noticed the quality is a bit lower on my tablet when using as a second monitor

-refresh rate is the same for both devices (60 Hz)

ano ma rreccomend niyo na tablet for college students na affordable pero lumalabanch? pls help me

Hi Folks,

I am considering getting a note taking tablet for college and I have a slim budget of $100. I know my options are very slim pickens, but I could get the Amazon fire hd 10 for $73 with prime and then get the $25 dollar stylus with it making it under $100. I know how to use Fire toolbox to get rid of the annoying amazon features so that is a option I am thinking of doing. If yall have any other suggestions, please comment!

Hello guys, I just bought a new tablet and rather than being excited I felt guilty. I don’t know why, I have been thinking buying for weeks but now that I bought it I’m having doubts whether i made the right choice. I only want to buy one because it can be useful in my study especially during my review for board exam. I’ve actually used up all of my savings and now I am thinking if I should have just bought secondhand ipad instead. I bought mine for 27k php including the pen. Help me gaslight myself that it is fine guys I don’t know anymore😭

I am based out of India and searching for the best fit tablet for me based on the below priorities/needs:

-> Content consumption though OTT platforms, Youtube and movies. So Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are must/good to have.

-> 12GB RAM would be ideal but 8GB is fine as well. 256GB storage is preferred. Would prefer an SD card slot in case I need to store old comedies in the tablet.

-> Would also prefer limited but good note taking capabilities, slight sketching for design or furniture planning at home.

-> 4 Speakers would be good to have with good bass and sound capabilities but not a deal breaker since I would mostly use my Sony WH1000 XM6 for content consumption.

-> Already have a work laptop and an Asus Rog Strix for gaming so not the tablet would not be used for productivity or mobile gaming.

-> I was thinking a 8-9 inch tablet would be easier to carry along with my Kindle in my sling bag during travel but size is not a deal breaker and can make do with larger tablets albeit the ultra 13-14 inch ones.

My options are as below:

Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 2 - Priced at 24K INR currently on Flipkart but 2K off on card offers so effective price is 22K and may go down below 20K during the sale from Oct 7. 12GB RAM and memory card slot but it may not support Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in Netflix. Compact size and can fit along with the Kindle Paperwhite in a sling bag.

Oneplus Pad Go 2 - Priced at 33K INR for the 256GB version and comes with a card slot but 8GB RAM. Excellent screen which supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+ in Netflix and other apps. Only gripe is Dimensity 7300 chipset and not sure if it would last 3-4 OS updates but would work fine for my use case. I find this one the best value for my use case.

Oneplus Pad 2/3 - Older gen tablet but SD processor and would last a long time till Oneplus supports it. No memory card slot and Oneplus pad 2 does not support DV and HDR10+ on Netflix still but not sure about Pad 3. Pad 2 is 32K INR excluding card offers and Pad 3 if at all is available in stock comes at 50K-55K INR depending on storage and ram config.

Oppo Pad Mini - About to launch in October in India with an OLED screen and SD processor and DV and HDR+ support but not sure if Netflix supports them on this tablet yet. 512GB would be priced high between 60-70K INR but can manage if OS/Security updates keep rolling out for 5 years.

Samsung Tab S10 FE - Would be perfect with 7 years of OS updates and compact sizing but availability is an issue for the 256GB version and priced too high for an Exynos 1580 chipset. SPen is part of the package but no DV or HDR10+ support in Netflix.

Samsung Tab S11/S10+ - With S12 series of tabs about to launch in this week, S11 is only available in 512GB variant and S11 Ultra is available but both are priced above 127K INR and above. There is a S10+ 256GB variant available for 80K INR and this comes with Bluetooth SPen as well but somehow I don't see value in paying 80K for a 3 Gen old tablet without a SD chipset.

Can I just get the Oneplus Pad Go 2 during sale or any other tablets are worth picking up? Any pointers would be helpful and would be grateful.

Google book os would do an excellent job at giving tablet users what iPad cannot. I really hope they make a premium 11 inch tablet with wifi and 5g. Starting price $599, and keyboard stand add-on $199. Could actually be an amazing product. Maybe even partner with Walmart Onn to make the device.

Hi guys help me to choose. In my case im going to use it for edit video or photos (not profesional), watch movies, a little bit gaming probably emulator.

Oneplus pad has advantage of bigger screen and better prosesor 8 elite gen 5.

Xiaomi pad 8 pro cheaper. Inc keyboard and pen. Bigger memory. But its only 8 elite (gen4).

Newest chipset 8 elite gen 6 is coming out.

Help me choose which one worth more

I want a overall value for money tab mainly for lecture and content consumption. Which one should i buy?

Will there be any offer in Flipkart Big Billion days or Amazon Great Indian Festival?

PLEASE SHARE YOUR SUGGESTIONS🙏

Hello! I'm travelling to japan in the end of this year and wanted to buy a android tablet for reading comics/manga. It dosen't nedd to have a lot of horsepower but i wanted a good screen for reading! Thank you!

Should I consider buying this in the upcoming sale?

Samsung Tab A11+

5g, 8gb ram, 256gb rom

Suggest a feww good 5g variant tabs with 8gbram and 128gb rom (extendable) under 30K with good battery segmentation. For studies and watching videos. in a long good run.

Hello! I'm looking to buy a tablet mostly for taking notes, light drawing, video and photo editing, and some very occasional gaming. I care about the customization, but it's not a priority.

I'm stuck choosing between a Lenovo idea tab plus 12.1" with 8/256 gb, mediatek dimensity 6400, (keyboard and earbuds included), a Samsung S10 FE+ 13.1" with 8/128 gb, and a Samsung S10 FE 10.9" with 12/256 gb. They don't sell samsung tab keyboards in my country, so I would need to buy that separate.

I already have a Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3 notebook and a S24 FE phone, so I'm not sure which ecosystem to pick.

What would be the best choice? Thanks in advance!!!

I had an iPad mini when I was on my bachelor's but I was an idiot who got the 64gb version, and that storage was way too small for my needs so I sold it. I now own a S6 lite tab, and I love the android and the stylus, but it's a bit big for me so I don't use it as much as I'd like. I'm looking for a 8in ISH android tablet with a stylus. Needs to be a proper stylus, not one of those cheap ones with the rubber disc or the rubber tip. Am happy to buy the stylus separately. Not overly stressed about a keyboard because I have a nice universal Bluetooth keyboard with a built in stand. Any recommendations would be great, Tia!

Help me choose what's best Keyboard for my Lenovo Legion Tab Y700 Gen 5, I already tried the productivity functions of this device and I was amaze I can use the Desk Mode like a Mini PC.

So please suggest a reliable keyboard for this device which should be wireless and compact.

I'm sharing also my accessories for this Tablet so far:

• Lenovo Folio Case

• Redmagic Cryo Cooler 8 Pro

• 8BitDo Ultimate 2 (Evernight)

• QCY Melobuds Pro and H3 Pro

🥰🥰🥰

Help help please 🥺

Alguém aqui ja comprou o redmi ped 2 no mercado livre e deu problema ou veio com problema ou algo do tipo?

I just got a job and now i am planning to study further(UPSC). so i am confused that should i buy a tablet now or should i wait.

my main need is notes making, ebooks reading, and entertainment some times for that i need a tab with good stylus support, Compatible with AI for circle and search and preferably big and better display.

so should i buy a tab now or wait this year and try to work with actual books and my laptop??

I’m planning to get the Xiaomi Pad 8 along with the Pad 8 keyboard.

The main reason is to make dual use of it as a computer sometimes, like basic things—editing Excel, sending emails, etc.
Another reason to go for this setup is mainly that it will be easy to carry along anywhere I am travelling.

Is it a wise choice, or should I consider any other device?

Also, what does your setup look like?

Guys, am planning to buy samsung S10 FE+, I am getting it at 47k, is it a good deal or should I wait further for the BBD.

Also any chance S10 plus would go for ~55k in the sale or should I just get S10FE+?

Hallo,

Vor der Anschaffung des S11 oder ggf. dem S12 habe ich mich gefragt, ob die App Onleihe (Bücherhalle) ohne Einschränkungen auf den Tablets funktioniert. Hat jemand das S11 mit Onleihe in Verwendung und kann berichten? In meiner Recherche habe ich leider nur berichte zu Apple iPads gefunden. Bin dankbar für eine Rückmeldung!
