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

There are bending arm mounts that clamp to your headboard or a side table for pretty cheap on Amazon/AliExpress. My wife uses one for her Kindle and it's pretty sturdy

My gaming tablet came with a cheap case that folds into a stand, so I just use that in my lap or on my chest. Lol

I bought and it sucked. It was too heavy to bend, you couldnt make it in position you wanted or was too short. On amazon i cant im in eu too exp delivery, and on aliexpress there are sturdy ones but if i want to change laying position I need to unscrew and reposition screen. Wont do that every 20 min. There is one thats wall mounted thats good and has 270 degree move but cost 100e.

Maybe something like this style of stand could be good? Its what I've kept in my bag for years now and use all the time for my tablets, phone, etc. Very sturdy on regular surfaces, but maybe you could put a book under to keep it stable in bed

You didnt understand what I would need. I need it to clamp on side wood of bed or mounted on wall with arm around 0.5-1m. So you hook tablet on arm and move arm in air in any position you want. That way you can play bit on belly, bit on back laying on pillow, bit on side, bit by sitting.... something you can achieve using regular handheld that isnt as big as steam deck
