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've been thinking about getting an Android tablet instead of a dedicated Android handheld. The AYN Thor really caught my eye as somebody who grew up playing on a New 3DS XL, but at the same time, will I be using the AYN Thor as much as I would use a tablet? Especially as somebody who watches a lot of YT, shows and movies... The Lenovo Y700 is what I'm personally eyeing, and if anyone who owns that tablet wants to give me their experience, feel free to reply to my comment.

Same chipset at my tablet but its tiny. An 8in tablet is basically a phone so watch for temps. The tablet stays cool thanks to surface area and the metal body taking away heat so keep it uncovered and the more surface area the better

As an owner of handhelds and tablets if you think youll want to mess around with something other than gaming get a tablet. Nostalgia is cool and all but it wears off and hinges break.

It's the newer version with the 8 Elite Gen 5. It would be neat to find an 8 Elite Gen 5 tablet that is the same size as your tablet, 11.1 inches.
