• So this is going to sound a bit #1stworldproblems but here goes. I have a Chomebook Duet tablet thing, which is quite nice but damn it's slow. ChomeOS still doesn't work right and really all I want is a tablet to read comics, occational websites and watch videos on.

    I'm a bit underwhelmed with the iPad choices right now. Obv. the iPad pro has issues with the OS it's using (and way over kill for my needs). I was hoping the iPad refresh would come with an A15, or A14 at least, but they slapped a years old A13 in it. Then there's the mini, sure state of the art hardware but fucked up screen and I think it would be a bit small for comics....

    There is the iPad Air 2020 which looks pretty good, but worry that it's just about to be replaced

    Do I just suck it up and keep using the 10" chromebook or maybe just get the iPad ?

  • Not in the spirit of the Apple thread but there's also the Surface Go which is surprisingly good. Much better with a keyboard attached but usable without if it's just media consumption. I've been using my original one (they've just released the third generation) for comics (on top of web browsing, a bit of office and lots of video watching) and it's good.

  • ChomeOS still doesn't work right

    This seems really odd. Would it be worth a reinstall? Or checking forums for any settings adjustments?

    For similar use to yours (no comics but occasional kids drawing games) we have a toolbox'd Fire 8 HD+ and it's fine. So would have thought that yours would be more than up to the job.

  • The A13 is still going to trash anything that's in the Chromebook Duet.

  • Been impressed with the iPad Air - wife just uses it for similar activities. The new shape and screen looks and feels great
