Looking for a tablet to replace my computer


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I don't really PC game and outside of the occasional video editing I don't really need a fully functioning computer, and have been thinking of getting a really nice tablet for my next purchase.  anyone have any recommendations? thoughts on the MS Surface? there are a lot of options I like about it but its also the most expensive

Not a fan of the Windows environment, but I have to admit of all the "laptop replacement" tablets out there we've tried at work, the Surface i7 is pretty solid and best in class as of now.  This includes 4 or so pre-production models from various vendors that we're allowed to test out throughout the year.  And this is coming from a guy who's only interaction with Windows nowadays is a VMware he has to run for project management reasons at work.

I'm a Surface fan.  I like windows 10.  I want one, but I'm saving my money for something else.

Do you need a windows tablet?  Or there are several other android tablets which are pretty good, as is the ipad.  For simple video editing, check out Adobe Premiere Clip.  It works on multiple platforms and is pretty easy to get to use.  Plus it integrates with adobe creative cloud, if that's your thing.

I am a surface fan as well. I have one at work that is great for everything but intense processing applications. With the dock,  you don't even know you are working on a tablet, unless you want to. I have already decided that when my current home desktop dies, I will be replacing it with a surface. It is all I will ever need for home use.

Looking to use it as a computer replacement, and the ability to run some windows programs would be ideal and thats part of why i'm leaning that way.  just waiting on my tax return to come in now. 

anyone have any suggestions in regards to the processors on the SP3?

Looking at the 4th Generation if i Series processors, so long as you get and i5 or i7, you'll be good for any basic video editing.

For a while I had a work laptop with an i5 and the HD4000 chipet.  The 4600 is a good bit better and the Iris Pro is pretty close to an entry level Mobile Card (like the Nvidia 840m).  I ran full adobe creative cloud premiere, after effects, illustrator, photoshop, etc on it (though not at the same time because I only had 4 GB of ram).  I was able to have Premier roll up at 5:00, 1080p video fairly well.  I mean, my machine wasn't a blazing fast machine by any stretch!

Good luck and happy tablet shopping!

    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
    • The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
