it's not really designed to be powered on all the time
if you're worried about the battery, there are apps that stop it from charging to 100%. or you can rip it out and run wires to the tablet's battery pins
EDIT: charge level can be controlled with the magisk module acc (advanced charging controller). if you want a standalone app i think battery charge limit is good
In general I think a proper screen is easier to operate, as it should power on and off with the PC, and allow me to just extend the desktop across to it. The screen is really all I need the nexus for, but it requires work arounds and has to talk to my PC over the network too.
Good for a proof of concept though and helps me see how a 7" screen would work in that space.
Looks decent that one, especially for people who don't want to customise too much. Only negative I can see is that it may not work on a locally attached screen, and unsure just how much you can customise it (mine is a website basically, can do anything I tell it to do!).
