La culpa la tiene el (miserable) ataque de USA a Huawei, la empresa china hacía tabletas (de excelente calidad) para competir con todas las versiones de iPad incluido el ipad Mini

[@CarlosAMaldonado]

let's be honest, ipad in general got no real competitors right now if we talk about software, android tablets are just a joke when we compare them with what the ipad got: adobe photoshop ("decaf"), illustrator(decaf too), full pc port of affinity photo and designer, full pc port of clip studio paint(this one is in android too), davinci resolve, logic pro x, final cut pro. Android got pretty good hardware, the snapdragon 8v2 is a beast (not as good as the m1/m2) the only thing is missing is real software, the only thing android got well done is emulation, psp, gc/wii, ps1 and 2, and switch, those are pretty good platforms to emulate, other than that android is pretty limited.

[@leemacklin2948]

I bought this over New Years and I'm mighty impressed. It was a close call with the RP4+ coming out, but with the media and desktop functionality of this it seemed like a no brainer. I did find that for some odd reason I did have an issue running Pal Roms/EUR Bios on AetherSX2; the game would stutter often, apparently when a new noise was introduced (playing GTA ran fine until a NPC shouted at you, and the game momentarily would drop to 45% speed for a frame or 2. However when I moved to US Roms/Bios it runs perfect

I got this and a (not great but functional) Ipega telescopic controller. It actually works really well, and in portrait mode DS and 3DS emulation is really excellent. I wish there was a higher-quality telescopic controller that can accommodate a tablet this size in landscape and portrait orientations... I've looked at a lot but the Ipega was the only one that could go wide enough for landscape orientation.

[@dawnyfrogmouth]

I'd recommend looking at RetroBreeze's review of the GameSir G8 Galileo controller. He shows how you can mod it to handle a tablet in landscape. Sadly it connects via usb c, so you can't use it with a vertical tablet.

[@tehpunisher4568]

Companies really need to go back to making more devices in this form factor I genuinely loved my Nvidia shield k1 I was in the market for another small tablet with modern specs. Unfortunately because there isn't an explicit American version sold here in the States My wife didn't let me get the original y700 and instead I got a Galaxy tab S8 which while I do really like I still miss the small form factor. Seeing that a device like this exists now I might actually pick one up if my desire for the legion Go didn't exist.

[@jponz85]

I still have that invidia shield gaming tablet and portable handheld version as well. Socks that Nvidia stopped supporting drivers for it as I used to stream games from that thing years ago

[@tehpunisher4568]

@@jponz85 while I still do have mine, the battery life suffers from all the background stuff going on. If I use it airplane mode it's runs well if a bit slow but connect it to Wi-Fi and boom everything falls apart. But everything else about it was perfect! I genuinely miss the form factor.

Cracking little tablet, I was looki g to replace my Galaxy tab 8 plus with so.ethi g of equal power but smaller for when I travel as an media/entertainment device and this fit the bill nicely, Ordered sealed 16gb/512gb with the chinese rom via AliXpress to the UK £280 🇬🇧 with zero problems, no import costs and was here in under 10 days, with an free glass screen protector and official airflow case (Bit flimsy tbh). Easy to uninstall the bloatware and use Nova launcher, malware scans came back clean and im well happy tbh, not since the old 7inch google play tablet of old have I been so happy. 😂 In the next version perhaps having GPS module and maybe OLED screen would be things to improve. But a perfect little compact high power media device for travelling with.

This type of setup is the future. You take one device and dock it up and you can work or play from anywhere.

When in extended screen mode, can the screen on the tablet be turned off?

When I connected it to the TV, for a long time I couldn’t understand why everything was so twitchy on both screens there you need to select the output resolution and refresh rate in the broadcast settings,I advise you to set it to 120Hz when choosing a high frequency, because some have noticed a bug that at 144Hz the picture may flicker and disappear

What you think of the Lenovo tab p12 pro

[@mattdavis9601]

I know I'm a day late; but, I just want to say that I enjoyed this showcase video. I think I write this every time ETA covers a Lenovo tablet; but, the company really should rationalize their brands. Lenovorola needs to refocus Lenovo as their exclusive home of Windows and desktop Linux devices; and make Motorola their exclusive home of Android products. Both can share the Legion and Think sub-brands as needed. Anecdotally; but, it seems to me that people like to keep their tablets and phones from the same manufacturer, if they can, so having a split product line is probably costing them sales. Another thing that is costing them sales is their decision to not send things like the Y700 to the US in an official capacity with a warranty. I'd imagine that this combination of size, price, and performance is perfect for lots of people, not just gamers. But; how are they supposed to know that this exists in the first place?

[@Atharun18999]

If they officially released this here, it would sell like crazy!

[@Imperatorz]

The problem with this is the audio. If you set audio to 'from tablet' and it's connected to a Bluetooth speaker, it doesn't route properly. The sound still comes out from the tablet. But if it's Bluetooth headphone or earbuds, it routes correctly. I've tested on different speakers same result. No one mentions this.

[@srvuk]

Not too bad, all things considered but I can't get away from the fact that a vendor with less purchasing power is offering a Gen2 SOC onboard for only $299. Whilst the different USB video mirroring modes are useful, there is no scaling options with the first 2, which would make the functionality more useful in obtaining full screen remote display. I also don't think that the additional 4Gb RAM and 256Gb storage is worth the extra $100.

[@giortaro]

What would you recommend xiaomi pad 6 or legion y700 both are comparable in terms of specs but xiaomi pad 6 have official keyboard attachment and bigger

[@resilientfool7191]

pad 6 only have sd 870 while y700 2023 have 8+gen 1 pad 6 doesnt have pc mode but y700 does pad 6 have hyperos which has better software but y700 have beast hardware pad 6 doesnt have micro sd but y700 have it both tabs dont support sim cards Imo the advantage for xiaomi pad 6 is the software/big screen probably future proof but y700 2023 has almost everything but the software is a risk to take since lenovo barely updates. However, I dont think that is a bad thing since I own the legion y70 and it only had 2 updates since early 2023 but it still smooth (fortunately, it will have a major update this year)

[@giortaro]

@@resilientfool7191 oh nice, that's really good news. I honestly like the PC mode on the legion, that is, for me, quite the game changer for both of the tab (which also means that samsung tab is the best tablet actually as it got dex mode and basically everything) but the price of samsung you know, 💀💰 Anyway thanks!
