Honestly, I’m baffled by the tablet market. Everyone puts out underpowered devices. Even Google! How can you, in good faith, justify a tablet having a slower processor and less memory than a phone while trying to advertise it as the superior device, perfect for editing and whatnot?

    Has there ever been a good one?

    The original nexus 7 was pretty good (for the first few years of its life)

      Nope, the touchscreen was terrible. It would have been nearly a perfect device for the time. Phones were smaller, and it was a nice accessory for watching videos and playing games that were less convenient on a smaller phone with poor battery life, but… It barely registered touch inputs.

      Still salty about that waste of money. The forums were just full of people complaining about it and Google tried to fix it with software, but it just didn’t work right.

        Not something I noticed from several years of use. Every touchscreen I’ve used has behaved the same since they moved from resistive to capacitive!
