Yeah, I don't disagree.
I think I am veering on updating my laptop instead. There's just more flexibility for me with a laptop with respect to various use cases over time.
I may go for a cheaper tablet for use as a bath time TV, though;)

More like boredom and doing as little as I can
So utterly wonderful when you plug in, couple of clicks and you're up and running
That's how it should be.

I have it and it's a very nice bit of kit. Got it controlling the music, which is the important thing.
Samsung Android is quite different and takes some getting used to. The onscreen keyboard is superb. And it runs my Office 365 applications really fast, too.

Be interested to know the key advantages for de musik ! Honestly? The larger screen makes browsing music in Qobuz via BubbleUPnP a dream. It's a beautiful display and the keyboard is nicely tactile. It's also fast searching for artists/albums/tracks. Looks gorgeous on my lap table. Album artwork looks nicer. |

It's also worth noting that this thing is very fast indeed. Don't heed the gamer reviews saying it's not quick enough for some games. Doing practical work like opening Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents, it's faster than my six-core Ryzen 5 desktop PC, and that's not slow. It certainly makes good use of the octa-core processor. For instance, opening Word and then a document takes about 3 seconds. My PowerPoint system diagram takes about the same time. A very large asset forecasting work spreadsheet in Excel about 4 seconds. All of these without the app first running.
Browsing is equally zippy. With the nice Foluu keyboard/case and long battery life, this is going to be a proper go-to machine for working on the move.

It also sips power in standby. I fully charged it yesterday evening, unplugged it and used it for a bit. Left it in standby overnight and all day today. Still showing 100% charge as I type!

It sounds really good with more depth and atmosphere than before. It does open up another source of music for me. |
