Ok, so it's my birthday and I've amassed a decent hi-fi fund over the months, not to mention a fair amount of Nectar points. What can I buy myself that will give me the greatest pleasure in the music room? Stop sniggering at the back!
I've decided that the somewhat small Teclast Android tablet, with its 10.1" screen, is not quite what I need for streaming music control, general lookup and research, forum work and all my computing needs while in the room. My quick criteria are:
- larger than 10.1" or else no point
- Decent screen quality
- OS must be Android to run BubbleUPnP
- OS supported and upgradeable
- Long battery life so that I can charge once a week
- Supports Office 365
I looked seriously at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Pro (12.4") and Lenovo Tab P11 (11") and P11 Pro (11.5"). The Samsung is too expensive for a secondary tablet (I have a Surface Pro 7 for that) while the Lenovos fall between a small display size increase or, again, too pricy.
I've landed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE with its 12.4" display and decent, but not stupendous, all-round performance. I may watch the odd YouTube video while streaming Bluetooth to the system, but it won't get more demanding than that. No gaming here. With 8-core CPU, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, it's more than I need.
It will arrive next week.
