Title: 4 of the best 11-inch Android tablets - Lenovo, Xiaomi, and Samsung take the fight to Apple's door with midrange powerhouses
Post by: Redaktion on September 13, 2023, 01:34:32
When it comes to tablets, Apple's iPad is the gold standard, but many Android makers have spent years playing catch up. A number of top Android manufacturers that have spent years chasing the iPad have finally stumbled across winning devices, with some that are even significantly cheaper than the US$449 iPad.

I can't believe you did not mention the support or lack therof, for these alternate tablets. Lenoblo offers a less than pathetic 2 years of OS updates which is criminal and frankly should be illegal. I know Samsung is 3 or 4 years, but what about the rest? Apple gives you 6 years of OS updates and I'd rather a second hand iPad than a new Android tablet after owning tow of them.

Talking about "midrange powerhouses" but then list a tablet that is almost twice as expensive and clearly Samsung's flagship lmao.

Yeah, I haven't held a good 11" in a while. I prefer smaller. Too big for me!

I can't help but think that all these Android tablets here have more than enough firepower to run ChromeOS. Even with ARM, you can still run native desktop GNU Linux and install Linux desktop softwares like OpenOffice and GIMP, to name just two. The most powerful ChromeOS tablet we have at the moment are the Snapdragon 7c Gen 2-powered Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook Duet 3/5 and HP Chromebook x2 11, which has comparable performance to Snapdragon 720G/730/730G/732G. Still fine for everyday use, but it's about time we see more powerful ChromeOS tablets.

Sad that Samsung killed Linux on Dex, which fulfilled exactly this niche.

I own a Note8 solely because of Linux on DeX, and I really like it a lot. Samsung could've made an empty container for us to install our own ARM-compatible distros.
