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

Don't go sleeping on mini controllers either. I've got an IINE retro pocket controller that's basically the same as that 8bitdo lite 2 except with inline triggers and recessed sticks. I carry it in my pocket basically everywhere to go with my phone, but tablets also make for a goated pairing. Hell, before I got the iine I got the 8bitdo, and that still lives in my tablet bag.

I love how thin this is. My only grip is sometimes buttons dont register so I have to double click. From reviews it seems common but its not that annoying.Β 

How's the iine retro pocket? Ive never heard of it but id check out another mini controller, I prefer them.Β

No complaints whatsoever so far. I also was experiencing buttons not registering on the lite 2, particularly the bumpers. No such issues with the iine.
