Looking to replace my ailing 4 year old Galaxy Tab A7 before Cyber Monday comes to an end, initially I was looking at another Samsung but have come across the Lenovo P12, and at face value it looks like it ticks all my boxes. I'm working with a budget of £300 max, and this is right at the top of that (the 8gb RAM version)

Primary intended use (other than video streaming) is as a resource for running tabletop RPGs; juggling reference docs & browser windows, taking notes, etc. No real gaming needs, nothing that's more demanding than something like Balatro.

I'm also looking to get into digital art, so the stylus inclusion and compatibility as a drawing tablet really appeals. Decent battery life would be great, but I'm not looking to take it out much, mostly home use.

Main question is: would this be my best option for my needs at this price point or is there a better alternative?

Second question: is it worth paying £300 for the matte display version, or should I save £50 for the non-matte?

Hi All, after much investigation I've found that an iPad is probably the best option for my kids, it has to be used solely for learning games/apps. I'm just wondering if anyone has experience using the A2270 iPad in nearly 2025? Would it be ok for just learning games and apps, or a bit sluggish?

I’m thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab this Cyber Monday, and I could really use some advice. I’ve been using Samsung devices for years since I’ve had such great luck with their stuff, I figured I’d stick to the brand for a tablet. I’ve got my eye on the new Galaxy Tab S10. It looks sleek, and the specs seem impressive, but I’m wondering if it’s really worth the price. Do you think it’s worth splurging for it or should I save some cash and go for an older model like the S9? If anyone knows of good Cyber Monday deals, I’d love to hear about those too! Just trying to get the best bang for my buck here. Appreciate any insights you all have.

edit: still thinking of which tablet to get, but here's a list I made searching for the best Samsung Galaxy Tab Cyber Monday deals for the past hour or so

Best Galaxy Tab Cyber Monday deals:

• $300 off Galaxy Tabs (Samsung.com)
• 40% off Samsung Galaxy tablets (Walmart.com)
• $300 off Galaxy Tabs (BestBuy.com)

I need to choose between an iPad Air or Surface Pro within a couple days.

Wants:

detachable/convertible keyboard (want versatility) lightweight (most convertibles are too heavy) usually prefer windows operating system sturdy keyboard or at least accessory I can purchase to make sturdy reliable not a Chromebook

Concerns:

flimsy keyboard would love if I could use also as an actual “laptop” if I need to

Why I need it:

everyday life tasks emailing, bills, calendar organizing, to do lists , YouTube work out videos really do not watch Netflix or play games

Other questions:

*any recommendations on reliable cases or apparatus’ that give the detachable keyboard more versatility/stability? *other accessory recs?

Oh also around 12" preferably

Will be using for videos, reading, browsing (I won't be taking notes on it) What I think I need, good display size and resolution, sufficient battery life, and no lag or stutters.

My options

1. Lenovo Tab p12

Cons- had a bad prior experience with Lenovo tab, well it was cheap but yea

2. Honor pad 9 (free keyboard with it)

Cons- Worries about its os as it was banned earlier and stuff, but the specs are pretty great for my price range)

3. OnePlus pad go

Cons- everything is great just the processor is just bad, so worried it might lag in some cases, rest everything is just great on it

Open for recomenddations below 25k inr (No redmi, no samsung a9, no realme)

There are many things I can do, choosing technological device, NO🫠 all helps are appreciated.

I need something that i can have good reading experience as well as I want to learn design and sketching. I have no clue what to choose from apple. Not a big fan of big screens, I dont really have a budget limit

Hi everyone!

I already have a good laptop for college, but I’m looking for something more portable and easier to use for note-taking. I’m a visual learner, so having a device that helps with studying and organizing notes would be a huge plus.

My budget is around €300, and I’ve been looking at:

1. Krüger&Matz 2-in-1 Tablet

Do you have any experience with these, or would you recommend something else within this price range? I’m particularly interested in good screen quality, ease of use for note-taking apps, and battery life.

Thanks in advance for your advice! 😊

Hey guys, as the title says I'm thinking about getting either an iPad Air (2024 or 2022 Version) or the new Samsung Tab S10 Ultra. For the past years I've been using the iPad Pro (2017?) and only had little issues so far. I've tried to watch reviews on both, but they both seem reasonable. I'm not sure how long a Samsung tablets life expactancy is. The tablet would be used mostly for studying (drawing just in free time) and sometimes entertainment of course; that is why I would like to get a 13" tablet (split screen). I don't really care about the eco system (i have a Samsung phone rn). Which choice would be the better option?

I have $2000CAD to spend on a tablet for disability grants and accessibilities. After a lot of research, I’m caught between these two. I am familiar with both systems, so I don’t have a preference in terms of models or such.

My main priority is longevity: which one of the two will last me longer? I will be using it for minimal schoolwork and things like youtube or netflix (no social media, that’s only for my phone) and mostly a mirror screen for my laptop for reading pdfs and such, but it’d be nice to have it last to be an independent device after school is over, too.

hello~ id just like to ask if the redmi pad se (8/256 variant) is worth it? im planning to buy one for my little sister as gift :)) i asked this sub abt the xiaomi pad 6 tab 8 months ago and im very enjoying it and its been helpful in my acads and readings, though my sister had been using it more than me🥲 so yes i decided to buy her an advanced xmas gift haha~ 

 only criteria i have is that:

• can smoothly run games like minecraft, roblox, toca boca, that one barbie dreamhouse game

• cool for watching yt and movies

• can smoothly run ibis paint for digi art

also its rlly cheap and the specs seems fitting but im looking for feedback for those who actually use the tab🤚🤚 ik there's samsung a9+ but my sister likes the green variant of the redmi pad lolz

hello, does anyone know a split keyboard that lets you put keys or even words in the middle empty space on a split keyboard layout? thanks

Hi everyone, I have a Realme Pad 2 and I recently bought a Sounce 6-in-1 hub. I do a lot of work in Tab and since I use the same hub from different brand (Verilux) for my ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, I went with Sounce since it's half the price of Verilux.

Charging was speedy (100W PD supported), but then I realized, the Hub isn't recognising any of my Data drives, just redirecting the Charging power to the Tab. I inserted SD card, USB drives, HDD, but no output other than PD. I used my Verilux hub and it's the same fate. But, to my surprise, both my Hub works perfectly alright in my ROG Ally and my mobile phone - Realme Narzo 60 Pro. (PD works, getting output of data drives)

Any suggestions/solutions?

I was interested in the S6 Lite after I was watching a few reviews on the drawing capabilities. Which is on for about 270 CAD.

It is seemingly widely criticized here on Reddit however.

The S9 FE looks interesting which is 400? - 500 CAD and the plus is 650 CAD at Walmart.

I was very much on the verge of getting an iPad air 6th Gen for 700CAD and an apple pencil pro 2 for 120 CAD but I have no Apple ecosystem stuff. I only use Android I was mainly interested in the pen and the pro create stuff. The total for those two is 820 CAD

People say this is the best drawing experience.

Nothing includes tax above.

Anyways, what should I do? I was thinking of trying something cheaper. The apple pen 2 features seem pretty neat but I'm not sold yet.

I will likely just use it for drawing and my fiance will watch videos on it.

I'm looking to buy a tablet, but don't really know what I want.

- My plan is mostly to use the tablet for video/podcast viewing, reading and annotating pdfs, web browsing.

- I plan to use the tablet predominantly as a mobile device: work and travel. I work 13 hour shifts, so battery life is important to me.

- I currently have a Windows laptop and Pixel phone. I am not intending the tablet to replace my laptop.

- My preference is an 11 inch tablet screen.

- I currently have about 100gb of pdf files (scientific literature and textbooks (illustration heavy)) currently indexed in a windows file structure. I can upload these files to onedrive, but I would like to be able to access all of them, within the original hierarchical file structure, on the tablet. I use foxit for pdf editing.

- I have never been a fan of Apple products, but I have to use an Apple laptop at work. My company has a lot of security features. All of our software is web-based through Chrome, and security login is through Okta. I cannot save any of my personal passwords on my laptop because of the company security features. Apple users don't have this issue on their personal devices. Although I can save the passwords on my android phone, so maybe a non-issue?

- I would like to be able to use my tablet as a second screen for work. The apple laptops at work are shared devices. The wifi for the company computers is different from the wifi for personal devices, so I don't know if I would be able to connect my ipad anyway?

- Features like an easy to connect/disconnect keyboard are important to me.

- I would like to be able to read on the tablet outdoors (poolside/sunshine).

It seems like the Samsung S9 FE and ipad 10th gen are the forerunners, but I am not opposed to chromebook, pixel or other suggestions. Thx

*A small edit - I found a guy on Ebay who was selling a Lenovo Y700 2023 16/512 for $409 - I hope its not a scam but he was a US seller

What tablet(s) / brands exist that can handle playing Genshin Impact and similar graphically demanding games? Where could I buy one for around $500 or less? I had an iPad Pro 2021 and I liked it but I eventually got rid of it and then tried the latest iPad Air and didn't care for that so I returned it and now I'm missing the feeling of having some sort of tablet. I don't mind finding something new or used as long as it isn't a scam.

Thanks in advance

I am in a fix. I need to purchase a tablet for my masters. There are three contenders viz. Tab S9 FE 128, iPad 10 64, Pixel Tablet 128. Can you share your experience with your devices? Can we sideload apps, how is the file management system, etc. I'll not be using the tab for gaming, however, I need the device to have a good and reasonable life span (3-4 years). Sorry for bombarding you guys with so many questions. Peace :)

Do you guys think its worth the price? I dont need a super good tablet but I need one with a Pencil. Should i buy sth else instead?

I want to buy and now, with student discount, i could buy s10+ for 770€ (512gb 12gb). Is it worth it or not? I wanted to buy the one plus pad 2 (256gb 12gb) that is 470€ but ,in my mind, the samsung will almost least forever (8 years more or less) instead the one plus pad2 i think it will least the half of it... Any suggestion?😅

I can get both tablets with a 50% discount.

My main usage will be media consumption, so the aspect ratio of the s10+ would be better but the ipad is more powerfull and I use an Iphone.

What should I do?

So I think my laptop is pretty much fried after about 5 years. laptop which for similar to what was in my old one is around $400 . Or I could just take my Galaxy Tab s7fe and get a keyboard case for it

I really didn't use my laptop much. I use the tablet all the time because I do instacart so I use it in my car as my GPS instead of the car screen.

Are these tablets good enough to replace a laptop? I'm assuming I would be giving up the ability to use external hard drives and attaching a mechanical keyboard and HDMI if I wanted to play a game.

Other downsides I'm not thinking of?

So my girlfriends grandfather bought her 7 year old a tablet. He put restrictions on it and all permissions to go through him. Horrible decision for he barely knows how to use a cellphone. A couple weeks back her kid put a password on it and can't remember it. Her grandfather remembers getting something on his phone about it but can't find it. At this point we are at a loss and have tried everything on our end. I was hoping maybe someone here could give a tip or trick to maybe bypass this or is it a lost cause. Hopefully this is the right place. Sorry if I'm breaking any rules. Thank you in advance.

I need a tablet that will be used for photo & video editing, and it needs to have a stylus. I've been looking at some Samsung Galaxy tabs but they are quite pricey. Saw this one on Amazon, it's an off brand and has a sale for $40 off right now, making it a little over 100 bucks. I don't know if I can link here but here it is: Tablet 2024 Newest Android Tablet 10 inch, Octa-Core 5G WiFi Tablet with Keyboard, 128GB + 8GB + 1TB Expandable Storage, Large Touch-Screen Tablet, 13MP Dual Camera/Bluetooth/GPS/HD Display/Mouse/Case https://a.co/d/cv5XOa2

So I'm trying to decide on a tablet. I've narrowed it down to two that I'm considering. The Lenovo tab plus 11.5 128gb currently $189.99 at Best buy or the Samsung galaxy tab A9+ 256gb for $199.99. Which would you choose and why? I want a device that will last me a long time. I currently have a Lenovo tab 2 a10 that's my primary computing device I bought it in 2016 but it's time to replace it as it's just not functioning right anymore. I mainly use it for YouTube videos, and web surfing.
