Tablet or Chromebook?

sjix

Has anyone successfully used a specific tablet or a Chromebook? Please post the models that you've been able to use.

I've been considering the Lenovo M11 tab with a bluetooth keyboard, but hoping to find a chromebook, which would be easier to use while at my kid's activities. I'm desperate to find a current model that I can pick up right away.

Thanks

Havent been able to find a workable laptop so Im gonna try a tablet instead. I'm thinking of trying the Galaxy Tab FE - its an IPS screen.

Tuck let us know if you try it and how it works out!

Based on some posts I saw on the PWM_Sensitive Reddit I'm trying the OnePlus Pad 2. I'm not sure if it's "perfect" (have only used it for a short period of time) but it's much better than anything remotely modern that I've tried.

For background I can't seem to use anything "new" right now and iOS updates beyond iOS 15 or 16.1 make even Apple LCD's unusable for me. Updates on Windows 10 as of around May 2024 gives me symptoms on previously perfect machines and I can't seem to find anything on Windows 11 that works.

So I'm pretty sensitive and the One Plus Pad 2 definitely seems to be better than a lot of other options.

Same for me with iOS 15. I wonder what changed in iOS 16 and on. Dithering algorithm?

I can use the iPad kiosk at Shakeshack. I’m getting so desperate I might ask them what iPad and OS version they’re running 😬😂

I use a Samsung S7, eye hurt when I just get it, but now I use it at least 8 hrs a day, no problem

sjix I bought the Galaxy tab 10 fe. So far, I love it. No eye pain at all. Super enjoyable to use. There are complaints online that the chip is underpowered for the price but it feels snappy enough for me, and the LCD screen is the killer feature.

It's more of an entertainment device than a productivity device, so it depends what you need it for. I'll still need a new laptop eventually for photo editing, but for general use I really like the tablet.

It's has to be how they are rending graphics/color but I really have no idea. Dithering seems as good a guess as anything. I'd love to find someone at Apple who could at least explain what they changed. I get severe symptoms but I can't visually "see" a difference between good and bad versions and like you I'm desperate to figure out what the trigger is.

I can totally relate to kiosk iPads. I've actually done exactly what you said and I've asked to go to settings to see what iPad and iOS version is running.
