Once again appealing to the puter nerds.
Have had Amazon Fire 8 for over a year. Slower than death. Don't like interface, gmail sux, getting to kkf sux, fb kinda sux. Couple hours of reading will kill battery. I've added Chrome thingy to it but still - only thing that's easy on it is ordering sh!t from Amazon. Kindle part works well for reading but battery life is killing me and it's time to do something different.
Want something to carry that's smaller than my laptop. (Lenovo Flex 5 thanks to youse guys.)
Fire 10 is in play but wanted to see if there's a comparably priced tablet that will allow me to do some work as well as play - tapping into the company's software applications for timesheet mgmt, supply ordering, etc. Don't anticipate needing accessory keyboard but maybe.
Happy with Lenovo as a brand. Samsung gets pricey fast. Absolutely no interest in Apple. Three listed below are result of my brief google-fu. What else is out there?
90% Kindle stuff (I guess the nerds call them ebook readers)
10% Vid Streaming
10% work stuff if doable.
Android based (guess I could go windows)
8 - 10" display
Would like more storage - I'm always deleting books. Never tried to download a flick.
Decent speaker
Microphone good for telecrap
Some camera
No games. None. Ever.
Want to buy new only.
$200 ish
Bring it. Please.
