I found this, I’m wanting to get a pixel tablet in about a week or so. Title just got me wondering a bit, though it’s probably just a little bit sensationalized

    I got a Lenovo M9 a couple months ago. It’s not a powerhouse, but for streaming services/playing local video files it’s amazing. Add in reading books and comics, it’s a damn steal. Battery life is good, small size, and the folio cover is perfect for taking around the house. $150 without the cover is a great deal. I definitely recommend the folio case too. It slated for Android 13 this quarter as well.

      We got a Lenovo duet 5 chromebook and it is great. Runs android apps, but is also a full chromebook with the option of a surface style kb and mouse.

        Oh the Android apps part is great. Best of both worlds kind of thing. Have you tried anything with Linux programs that can be loaded onto it as well? (Or maybe that’s only some ChromeOS products)

      Yup. I bought a similar one specifically for comics and manga that I picked up from Humble Bundle, but it also runs all my boardgames well too. Lenovo’s tablets are a bit anemic power-wise but you can’t beat the price and they’re perfect as a bed-side media machine.

        Agreed. For such a cheap price, I think it hits a good spot.I regret a little not getting their gaming tablet - I didn’t know it even existed during my research. Better specs in a similar form factor. But it wasn’t enough regret to return or anything.
