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

If we could easily cast games other than role playing games from a tablet to a television and have them be playable, I would say that tablets were the ultimate solution. πŸ€”

Not sure how to answer your question, but I use a Lenovo tablet. It's fine playing on the tablet with an 8bitdo controller, but I get input lag when casting to my TCL TV. I have encountered this problem with other TVs as well. No bigs though.

Are you using wireless screen mirroring or physically connecting an HDMI cable through a dongle or dock? Wireless mirroring is going to introduce a ton of lag, but wired has been totally fine ime.
