I'm looking for a new Android or Apple tablet

[Danieru-Emanyueru]

Hello everyone here on RGT, I have a problem. I've been looking for a new Android tablet for a while, I have already looked at so many models but somehow I can't come to a conclusion I even looked at Apple but it's a completely different world. I'm actually not picky but I looking for a device that is well equipped for everything. Do you all perhaps have some ideas because I'm really going crazy about the whole thing It doesn't matter which brand.

I don't know much about tablets but I guess that like with any other device you'll have to narrow it down according to your preferences and needs. Do you need a headphone jack? Do you need it to be powerful for some hardcore emulation? Do you need some uber fancy screen resolution or refresh rate? What kind of size are you looking for?

Once you nail down what you need and find a bunch of models that fit your criteria then it's just a matter of sorting them by price and availability. It's also good to look up manufacturers to see if their track record has any issues. For example ASUS has become somewhat notorious in recent years for screwing people over on warranty. I don't even know if they make tablets, it's just a general example. Another thing to watch out for is if the manufacturer tries to play that stupid 'forced arbitration' game. Basically, companies are trying to force you to agree to waive a bunch of your rights as a customer just so they can screw you over when an opportunity to do so arises. It's highly illegal in the EU and you'd probably have a fairly easy time winning that battle but do you need another headache to deal with for a damn tablet?

I don't really have much to say beyond that. Maybe once you find a couple models that interest you you could post them here or in a profile post so that more knowledgeable folks can offer advice.

Thanks for your opinion, I'm looking for a device that's good for working and playing games and also for emulators. I always made the mistake of looking at the price when buying tablets in the last few years. That wasn't good but now I want to do it differently. When it comes to Android tablets, the brands Lenovo, Samsung and Xiaomi are convincing but I have no experience with these brands that's the problem. Apple's iPad Air doesn't look bad but Apple is a completely different world, it is actually a complete disaster but I need a new one also because of my job.

Do your colleagues have tablets? Maybe they could give you an opinion or two.

Yes they all use an iPad I think I'm probably the only one who hasn't used one yet. Who knows, maybe I'll buy the iPad Air, I'm really desperate.

i mean i can't recommend apple anything cause it's hard to get emulators and modded stuff on apple, much easier on android devices honestly, even without jailbreaking.

I know, honestly I would really avoid Apple because this brand is so complicated I'm not really interested in those.
