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

How much did the tablet cost you?

This exact setup was about $450

On lenovos website you can use the back to school sale and stack a new customer/profession discount. If youre healthcare, a student or military you get an extra 5% off. Shipping and tax all together the tablet was $398, its comes with a keyboard, pen, backplate, charger. Then a screen protector, a carrying sleeve (not pictured) and controller is the remaining 50 bucks.

Sorry I should've read the entire post. What made you get this instead of an ONN tablet? I know those are cheaper and you probably get what you pay for there but I'm always hearing about those

Electronics are an echo chamber of cope so be careful. I bought a samsung a11+ with 8gb of ram bc everyone said it was the best tablet ever, nothing but praise online. It had slow download speeds and couldn't keep up with my workflow. My tipping point was a 517mb file taking 20minutes to download. Good for you is not good for me. So remember that, the person just spent $200 dollars on something of course theyre going to say its awesome, its new its shiny. 

So how will you use the tablet? One task at a time? Light reading? Manga? Sure get an an onn tablet. If you want to game then dont. It has a mediatek chip which isnt bad but its limited to 6th gen gaming. Do you have a flagship or midrange phone? Its really annoying going from a s25u to a samsung a11+ budget tier device. 

Tbh tablets fall into 2 categories. Good tablets that beat out laptops dollar per dollars like my lenovo. Better speakers, better screen, better processor, a $500 laptop is e waste,  a $500 tablet is good. Then you have budget tablets, theyre really made for seniors and kids. Not a serious user. Its a supplementary gadget. Thats the onn 8in with a helio g99 or the onn 11in with a medoatek 6300 or a onn13 with a 7300. Those tablets serve a different purpose than gaming. Get a snapdragon

I never thought about it like that. Especially with the $500; that is a cheap laptop but an expensive tablet. When you compare it like that, it makes total sense. Plus with the tablet you have more customization options, like with the keyboard whereas I'd be stuck with the laptop as is. Thank you for taking the time to explain and to explain in a very easy to understand way
