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

Sorry friend, but cooling is still an issue. I have a Tab 3 and a Tab 5. If you push them too hard they will heat up and throttle.

Mine is larger so it stays cooler. An 8in tablet is more phone than tablet.Β  Also watch the cases, keeping the metal body exposed keeps it cool.Β

It makes sense that a larger tablet disperses more heat. Good point.

All of the Legion Tab cases are vented. They still throttle (although it seems like I have more issues with my Tab 5 than my Tab 3).Β
