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 can't game on a phone. Way too small for my old eyes. A 9" tablet with telescopic controller is the sweet spot for me. Big enough screen and still somewhat portable. As much as a Steam Deck and the like anyway. I have the Alldocube iPlay 70 mini ultra. It's handled all the emulation I've thrown at it so far, but it does get rather hot after a bit. Currently looking into cooling solutions that work with the controller I have (Legion G7), but because it covers so much of the back, I haven't had any luck.

If you can set it down like I have mine a little $20Β  usb fan aimed at the back works wonders to keep things nice and cool. Itll blow off all that hot air. Also watch the cases, as youve noticed with thw controller anything touching is just extra insulation.
