Even if my laptop is repaired and becomes stable, I'm still looking for a new tablet.
Why? I realized I have two android tablets yet rarely use either, because for me Android just is for a phone, Facebook, phone-esque games, etc. I want a windows based PC that go out with me, still be used for productivity and more. With touchscreen so a keyboard is unnecessary/optional.
So, I'm looking for a sub-300$ Windows based tablet.
Minimum specs:
-2x powerful cores or 4x meh cores.
-4gb ram (I know upgrades will be unlikely)
-64gb eMMC ssd (I'd really, really like bigger, but again this an area where upgradeable is unlikely)
-7'' to 12'' screen size, 1366x768, touchscreen of course (that's the whole point).
- at least one full-size usb port (or one that can easily be adapted to reg usb port, no proprietary ports)
"Like to have":
-2x-4x cord AMD APU.
-8gb ram+ or upgradable.
-120gb ssd, or any form factor that is upgradeable.
- multipoint 1080p touchscreen.
- decently light
- slimline detachable keyboard or keyboard case (more optional than a real like to have)
***I'm posting here instead of a WTB thread because discussions in those threads... Yeah nevermind. Please lemme know your suggestions and I'll add the to the original post here.***
So far some of the options that seem interesting:
- Microsoft surface 2 or newer (unsure about the tegra and 2gb of ram, seems like it'll be choked and slow)
- Dell Inspiron 11 2-in-1 (many of these seem to be intel-based, but I've seen one or two with AMD APUs, anyone have experience with these?)
- Acer switch series?
Thanks in advance for any/all suggestions.
