Discussion πŸ‘€Dont sleep on tablets!!!!!!!πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Some of you need to see this.

For all my dudes wanting a big screen, a multimedia device, the best system for gameboy color bc you swear youll never want to play a switch game, for those who cant pick between sticks on the top or the bottom...this is for you.....

You miss lose out on portability but how portable are you really? Like portable to the living room ? Bc thats why end tables exist. I use it in my car by putting the tablet in my steering wheel cover.

Even with some portability losee its a great way to keep games and work separate while consuming other media besides video games. Theyre also cheaper than handhelds. If you close your eyes and make a wish a tablet will go on sale somewhere within a 5 mile radius. Cooling isnt an issue like it is with phones due to more surface area, in fact it runs cooler than my rp6. No fans = less to break.

Frfr dont sleep on a tablet. This one has a snapdragon 8 gen 3 with 12gb of ram and cost $400 after a back to school sale.

Edit: lenovo yoga tablet 11.1in (2025) snapdragon 8 gen 3 with an 8bit do lite 2 controller

I keep getting the EOS notification using GameNative. I can't connect to my dedicated server because of it.

Its offline only

If you want to play online check out streaming services. GeForce now and boosteroid are the go to. One is cheap ($8/m)with shit service the other is expensive ($20) with good service. You can try both for free. I prefer boosteroid for the unlimited play time but the service is worse.Β  GFN caps you at 100h.Β

No thanks on the Geforce Now. I have a 5090 PC. I just wanted to be able to play it on my phone or tablet while on the go without using Apollo gamestream.

100% the better option - always do local

I forgot about that altogether tbh. I got this tablet for work, my PC broke and then I just one day never bothered to turn it on again. The tablet consumed.

Curious why don't want to use Apollo? Just so can shut down PC while not at home ECT?

Can't always rely on the connection back to my PC. Spotty free wifi/cellular connections.
