Hello, I wanted to ask people that own Mi pad 4, and plus version (which I plan to take) as well (I don't know the difference between them except screen size) is this laptop good in way of productivity? I am searching not expensive solution from such as browsing, google docs office editing most. As I plan to use custom rom on device 100%, but want to know how is tablet productivity, performance? Is multitasking works good, and split screen for 2 apps on one screen? As for productivity and getting rid of my almost completely broken laptop, I also plan to get Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, but is tablet supports 2 Bluetooth devices at once? Thank you
If you want productivity get a notebook imo.
My son prefer the mi pad4 for remote class lessons this days over Dell notebook. His school uses Zoom.

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a tablet s quite soon, was just wondering...
IR Blaster - does it get the remotes off the internet, ie. will remotes for new products in say 3 years time appear on the list, or will you have to use the learn ?
Has anyone tried it with a Pioneer 4280XD?
Speed - I noticed in Comet that it seemed a bit slower than the Asus transformer, might that just be something in the config or the number of apps running in the background ? Is it about the same speed in real life ?
Is ICS likely to make it run faster or slower?
Really looking forward to getting my hands on one.
thanks
For your first question, there is a preset list of brands and remote types included in the remote app. I don't think it has the ability to download more from the internet but that doesn't rule out Sony adding them via firmware updates.
Can't say for the speed of the tablet compared to the other ones as I've never used any other tablet.
I want a tablet but not sure how much use it'll get. Will the prime play xvid & avi files? Does it have HDMI out of the box or requires a dongle? Compared with what's about at moment and what's coming out this qtr the prime looks best of them. I have never used apple products but understand ipads are limited to playing iTunes stuff? Or for same money as prime should I get a i5 blu ray playing laptop? Thanks if you can help.

The answer is yes. It is easily the fastest, thinnest, tablet on the market right now. For it's price it is very affordable and ICS makes the tablet experience better.
Keep in mind it's not perfect, there's a force close here - a random reboot there. A vocal minority have had wifi & gps issues. My wifi is fine, my gps appears to work (although I barely use it enough to testify). Battery life is average considering the speed/preformance the tablet has.
The keyboard dock is the selling point over every other tablet out there right now. USB, additional battery life, full sized sd (don't forget the microsd on the tablet), and a decently sized chiclet keyboard that I'm typing this very message on.
HDMI works out of the box, assuming you have the appropriate cables to connect to it. Keep in mind it's mini hdmi. Most video formats are supported (no wmv), the dice player app plays them quite well.
No buyer's remourse here, I'm very proud of to own this tablet. Ipads do require everything to be installed through itunes, and you may have to purchase different copies of apps for many iphone apps you bought if you want them on the ipad. Android gives you the app for all your devices with a singe purchase and you have 15 minutes to request a refund if there are any initial problems. Transfering files is as simple as droping them on a flash drive, and box/dropbox work just as well as icloud. Also 3rd party apps can be installed through checking an option in the settings menu - no need to jailbreak.
YES..next question..lol
t3rm3y - is the prime the best tablet?
TFP fanboi - Hell yah it is the best tablet
Plays anything you throw at it and has HDMI out. Keyboard dock is a must imo, if you want to get its full potential.
if my opinion is taken into consideration...which it always is (im kinda full of myself ATM)
YES it is the best tablet on the market right now
Yes among Android tablets so far.

Sweet Evo!!
I have had so many issues with my Transformer Prime to the point I would recommend someone shopping for an non-iPad tablet to go with the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It's hardware is solid, it's built free of physical design defects and it's NOT using an over hyped yet immensely buggy Android 4.0 ice cream sandwhich OS.
Just make sure that when you are not sitting right next to the router you bring a beer can/aluminum foil/cut open the Prime so the wifi doesn't become unusable.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a very strong tablet.
Thanks everyone. Thats all good to hear... regarding the Samsung option.. I don't think it has HDMI out so I can't watch my files on the TV??

For me it is, others may disagree!
Go for it,if you don't like it, you can always return it.
I have the Prime and in the UK I'd say, for the money. it is the best tablet you can buy. In the UK we get it with a keyboard dock (I haven't seen the option to buy without unless you get a US version?) for £500. It has mini HDMI built into the tablet itself, can accept 64GB micro SDXC cards in the tablet and the dock has room for standard SD cards up to 64GB as well as a USB port for memory sticks, HDD's, wired contollers etc etc
Even though it plays alot out of the box I purchased Dice player for movies and prefer to use that.
Some THD games come with 3d stereo compatibility and when connected to a 3d tv atomatically switch to 3d.
A wireless PS3 pad works via bluetooth (once paired) for gaming whilst linked to a tv with an app called sixaxis useful when games don't support game pads.
As you can tell, even with one or two niggles, I am very happy with this Prime and use it more than my desktop pc atm. I even purchased Splashtop THD to access my pc (great for music, films and some games) from my tablet anywhere.
I was wondering if anyone is using the N9 for presentations like PowerPoint? I have found that the N9 does not support Mircast or hardwire connections to projectors and I am completely taken back by this. I would never have expected this from Google, especially since they marked the N9 as a productivity tool.
I was using my Samsung Note 10.1 but it is stuck on 4.1.4 or something like that I have not rooted obviously. But it casts to Mircast and it own Samsung cast system. The problem is that it can not take advantage of the new PPT apps like the upgrade Polaris. You need at least 4.2.
So now I have a great device that can use the office apps (the real office is come soon for free) and I can not project.
Anyone have some uplifting thoughts on this?

do a search for "Chromecast without WiFi" I could swear I read something recently that will let you cast directly to the CC. also.. you could consider one of the travel router options that let you have your own local firewalled WiFi setups/repeaters.. run about 40$. I'm already looking into them and will report back what I find.

I actually put in a couple of chromecasts to the TV screens at work for this purpose. wish google came up with an offline feature for stuff like this.
I have plan to sell my Nvidia Shield tablet and buy Nexus 9 LTE .
Despite the low price of Shield tablet but there are some drawbacks .. Specially the poor WiFi signal and lack of accessories, and really it well
Are there any offers for nexus 9 LTE ?
Mostly I'm going to use it for taking notes , how is nexus 9 with Stylus ? Any suggestions and experiences here ?
If i can get the WiFi version, do I can use 4G usb modem through OTG cable ?
I can't quite tell what you're asking here, but you are not allowed to buy/sell/trade on XDA anymore. You may use your login/password on Swappa.com
As for your other questions, maybe someone with experience can answer
The Nexus 9's K1 doesn't have the Direct Stylus tech from the Tegra 4, so using a stylus will not be the same. I have a stylus that I tried for an art app, but the precision isn't there. As for writing sentences, you'll have a hard time drawing clean letters.

Your better off going with a Samsung Tablet if your looking for a Tablet to use a Stylus with.
Hey guys, I'm looking for a new tablet but I'm not sure how much I want to spend. I've seen this comparison around and I was wondering what's your opinion?
It's the just released Lenovo Yoga Book vs the latest Chuwi HiBook Pro.
Similar specs but different prices. Is it worth spending so much more for a slightly better processor? The HiBook Pro has a much sharper screen (2560 x 1600) and it's a lot cheaper.
I have a chuwi hibook 10.1 and it's pretty nice, esp given the price vs other windows 10 tab and Ultrabooks. Plus it has the dual boot option of Android 5.1. The tablet itself is a good value.
The keyboard docks on these chuwi tabs, and many other cheap Chinese tabs from what I've gathered, is also pretty nice, given one glaring oversight. The touchpad. It ships with no special touchpad driver, instead using the generic MS HID Mouse driver. The problem is that there are no touchpad options.. no sensitivity settings, no swipe or gesture settings. It does support 2 finger scrolling and tapping, so it does work, but it is super sensitive. the bigger problem is that Win10 has all these mouse gestures built in, so when using it, you are always activating mouse gestures, which makes it almost useless. For example, if you move your finger from top edge in downward direction, it triggers the Windows+D hotkey (show/hide desktop). This happens all the time, as does other window key shortcuts.
Chuwi says they don't build the keyboard, and have no idea who's touchpad hardware is used. So far no real solution has been offered to make the pad register as a specific device, or even utilize the ms precision touchpad driver (which would enable options for some adjustments in Windows).
So basically, if you're planning to use the tablet as a tablet, it's fine. If you plan to use a mouse all the time it's fine. But if you plan to use the integrated touchpad, you might want to consider something else. It's my understanding that many other cheap tablets are using the same keyboard, more or less, and have the same touchpad issues. My best advice is to do lots of research before you buy if this is a concern to you.

Thanks for the feedback! Really helpful.
I guess I'll go with Chuwi then, also because they're running this promotion: promotion.chuwi. com/chuwi-12th-anniversary-celebration/
So I could even get it for free! Win/Win.
