Just like I don't consider a Yaris the same as an F-150, even if both can be used to carry people and grocery.
But both are in the category
vehicles
, like the Surface, iPad, and cheapest bargain-basement resistive touch Android tablet are alltablets

So is a bus, a train, an airplane and an 18-wheeler.
Yaris is a car, while F-150 is a pickup truck.
A tablet, a laptop, a desktop, a smart phone, a server and a main-frame are all computing devices
Do you consider a convertible laptop a tablet also ?

B.t.w., you can connect any bluetooth keyboard on a tablet (as long as it support bluetooth).
These days you can connect a keyboard, a mouse, and a fucking Guitar Hero controller to it. But they don't come bundled.
Just to be clear, I never said Surface is not a good product. I just don't consider it having the same purpose as a tablet.
It is a tablet. Somewhat upper shelf, but there are low-cost alternatives too. Judging by the cursory look around the market, the hardware in similar price brackets is roughly comparable, so the only real difference is that Windows tablets give you more OS options (not sure if you can run Android natively, but the emulators seem to work fine under Windows).
Want to play silly games? Kick off Android. Want to indulge in terminal masochism? Run Linux. Want to run actual software, not just "apps"? Run Windows (or Linux, depending on your definition of "software").

Hey, at least autocomplete works properly, unlike most smartphone keyboards!
Filed under: For proper masochism, try vim on a touch keyboard.

FYI : You can get a terminal on Android. And you can use SSH also.
So you can be a terminal masochist on Android

every upgrade reduces performance of older devices to crippling degrees....
That's hardly specific to Apple, though. Ask anyone who had a Windows Mobile 2003 device that could be upgraded to WM 5.

The ARM chip is over the far fence while the I5 is still in the infield
You're using some kind of inverse measurement where proximity to home plate represents increasing everything, right?

uh...., no.
unless you mean increasing power consumed per computational unit delivered.... in which case that would be a yes.
or maybe you mean increasing cost per computational unit delivered.... in which case that would also be a yes.
or maybe you mean an increasing rate or necessary replacements due to wear and or "IT IS SHINY MUST HAVE MARRRRRR!", in which case it would be a yes.
in most other aspects though..... no.
-
Does that mean second base or third base?
hmm..... i think i need a refresher on the base metaphor.... @RaceProUK, can you help explain the base metaphor to me again?
-
First: Kissing
Second: Groping
Third: Oral
Fourth: Horizontal Monster Mash
-
Wait... @RaceProUK explaining baseball... and it was sunny where she is, but raining where you are...
Ok, you can go back to using your own accounts now, it was fun while it lasted

And there are those huge phones that people still call phones, but won't fit in the pocket
Oh, that's not what they're called. And you won't like what they are called.[spoiler]Phablets[/spoiler]
-
First: Kissing
Second: Groping
Third: Oral
Fourth: Horizontal Monster Mash.... I still don't understand.
Maybe a demonstration is in order.
-
Forget all that running around, stay on home base and you're already on the fourth

Forget all that running around, stay on home base and you're already on the fourth
And miss out on all the fun to be had on the other bases? I THINK NOT!
-
It was implied that the Horizontal Monster Mash also includes all the fun of the other bases too

not by half! you can have plenty of fun in just the other bases without needing to make the beast with two backs.
-
-
I think you misunderstand me.
The Horizontal Monster Mash also implies Kissing, Groping and Oral.
And I agree, you can have plenty of fun on the first three bases.Anyway, I better stop the talking about that with you, I don't want @RaceProUK to be mad at me
-
The Horizontal Monster Mash also implies [...] Oral
Take note, people attracted to women: this is important!

Are you saying I am racist ??Totally not.
I hate all races equally

FTFY
PARALLELIZE!

PARALLELIZE!
Most current android tablets have 4 cores (at most active at once). My i5 does too.I could use that eviltrout emberperf test mentioned in the other thread to compare my LG G3 and my desktop and see how parallelizing helps the phone...

Are we going to do the tmi thing ? I'm down, i just want to make sure everybody's properly warned beforehand...

Meh. About two years ago my father bought me a Machspeed Trio 10.1" for about $100 as an African-American Friday deal. Not surprisingly given the price, it proved to be an absolute turd, and MockCustomers are about as helpful as a crepe-paper water bottle. Right now it is sitting unused because it won't update anything - it shows two sets of internal storage, the first of which is completely filled, and deleting the data doesn't have any effect. I've done a factory reset on it about ten times with no change in the storage glitch.
Admittedly, it worked OK for a time, and I suppose that for the price I should be happy it worked at all, but if he'd asked me about it ahead of time, I would have told him to wait on it until we could afford a decent one. It isn't like I needed one that badly, and while I'd mentioned it as a wanna-have, I also said it wasn't worth worrying about yet.

Machspeed Trio
WTF is that?
4.4 craplet from what I can tell online. Well at least you're not stuck on JB... That's something
-
The worst case of being stuck is the parrot asteroid smart.
And it's expensive...
It's a fucking headunit. That's stuck on 2.3..

-
Actually, if you mean the Trio Stealth G4, that's a slightly newer model; mine is a G2, and is loaded with 4.1, plus a ton of crapware I can't delete for some reason.

That price is absolutely nuts for this thing. $99 would be too much at this point.
-
Oh. Never mind, that's terrible. Ick.
I'd suggest trying Cyanogen, but it's so crappy I doubt anyone would develop for it

Their site breaks on my Nexus 7 both horizontally and vertically...

Depends on the woman.

Apparently, there are a few. And at least some think that they are in the majority, which is pure BS.
(Damn, I can't seem to find that particular S*P strip...)But hey, some people have odd tastes...
http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp09032002.shtml...and too much money.
http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02212009.gifStill other seem a bit... confused on the matter (I can relate)
