Bullit

Thanks, i had bad experience with SD cards and if i choose the Xiaomi it do not even have one. Since this will be for office work it will have also to be backed up online. I also don't have 1800 to spend. I want overall budget less then 900 euro, preferably around 600. I am still undecided in several things - do i need a 150/100 euro Xiaomi(all other manufacturers seem to have similar prices) keyboard for the tablet for on the go or it is just enough a 30-40 euro bluetooth keyboard to be in the office. I don't feel the need of keyboard for my Lenovo Tab while on the go, but current use is not intensive. I have a 50 euro Wacom pen tablet that i use as a mouse since i don't like to use mouse and the pen is much faster, but i already verified it is not compatible to Android so i will have to buy another pen tablet, i am considering this one: https://www.storexppen.pt/buy/deco-lw.html another option would be to buy the proper pen for the Xiaomi, and will die with Xiaomi, while my first Wacom pen tablet lasted 20 years... decisions decisions. Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro : 530 euro Options: Xiaomi keyboard with pad and backlight also protects the tablet 150 euro Xiaomi pen 99 euro Total 250 euro Xiaomi Keyboard without pad no backlight 90 euro Xiaomi pen 99 euro Total 200 euro Bluetooth keyboard to be in office/home 30-40 euro XP Pen bluetooth pen tablet instead of Xiaomi pen 80 euro. Total 120 euro

Candidate: Xiaomi Pad 6s Pro 12.4" Reviews https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_pad_6s_pro_12_4-review-2707.php https://www.notebookcheck.net/Xiaomi-Pad-6S-Pro-review-Versatile-12-4-inch-tablet-with-outstanding-specs.839897.0.html Don't does extended monitor only mirroring - maybe with Android 15 and also has no expanded storage, it is also a bit expensive at 715 euro with keyboard.

I will replicate the posts i made in Kojack own topic and will continue here to not hijack his topic. I want to replace my office laptop (15.6" HP from 2018) with a android tablet - i have a Lenovo M10 Gen 3 Plus 10.6" and i can see using a better tablet with keyboard preferably with extended monitor capability. Generic PC laptop problems for me: Screen are crap for the price. Specially nits for outside use. Weight Battery Screen touch make them too expensive. I enjoy to take my tablet from backpack and start to work right away in a bus, outside a cafe , mall etc If i want i attach a keyboard if not want i don't. I want to start right away instead of waiting for windows to wake up. These are the essential requisites that candidates need to fulfil: Size: 11.5 minimum, ideal 12-12.5". Brightness : 900 nits minimum with gloss screen or a bit lower with matte screen. Should be able to read on cloudy day on street. Screen quality: IPS or OLED but OLED cannot have low PWM. Minimum 100% sRGB color quality. Connection: to a monitor , bonus points if software allows screen extended instead of only screen mirroring. When i am home or office i want to work from a monitor not from tablet screen. Keyboard and Pen : be available if i wish to buy Storage: 256 GB minimum, bonus points if more RAM: 8GB minimum, bonus points if more Camera: good enough to photo documents Desirable but not essential: Extra storage, with a Micro SD card. Screen format better than 16:9. While in landscape more vertical space better. Current Exclusions: Samsung S9 series: OLED with low PWM. Samsung S9 FE series : only usb 2.0 cannot connect to a monitor.

Note that no one makes renders in Blender with CPU. It is highly inefficient and slow. 2X AMD EPYC 9754 128-Core Processor 4300 score 360w TDP each NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU 5242.41 score

But 2400nits phones are top of the line, i don't have that kind of money.

It is impressive how hardware manufacturers shoot themselves in their feet trying to get performance from a CPU that is only good for Office. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-Surface-Pro-OLED-Copilot-review-A-high-end-2-in-1-now-with-the-Snapdragon-X-Elite.853756.0.html

I want to use it in the sun comfortably.

The things that drives me to new phones is basically screen brightness.

Yeah, too expensive.

A positive review for Surface 7 ARM from perspective of office job. https://www.thurrott.com/forums/microsoft/windows/thread/surface-laptop-7-first-day-of-work-impression A positive Surface Pro X Elite OLED https://www.thurrott.com/forums/microsoft/windows/thread/surface-pro-x-elite-oled This also lead me to think there is a strategy going on of putting nice OLED screens in ARM laptops to help adoption.

You can buy their stock.

German https://www.notebookcheck.com/Asus-Vivobook-S-15-OLED-im-Test-Mit-dem-Snapdragon-X-Elite-in-ein-neues-Notebook-Zeitalter.847338.0.html I would say in this more in depth review is a disappointment instead including the Vivobook itself with a 240hz PMW OLED with high reflections . Noise on par with Windows, battery not better than an LG Gram and others laptops that push for lasting battery.

For now the review are positive, but there is a hole in apps and GPU is inferior to gaming. It is curious how the reviewers are not very good. One of the things i would do right a way is to test with Da Vinci Resolve video editor which has native support, but not one i have seen touch it, they spend time with non native Premiere...

Single core performance seems to not be on par with Apple M3

First reviews arriving https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/laptops/asus-vivobook-s-15-snapdragon-x-elite-review German, use your browser translation. https://www.computerbase.de/2024-06/windows-11-arm-snapdragon-x-elite-test/4/#abschnitt_fazit https://www.windowscentral.com/hardware/laptops/asus-vivobook-s-15-copilot-pc-review

The Vivobook with OLED screen that @ryan makes reference is a good idea. Here in Europe a Vivobook OLED you can find the cheaper version 600-750 euro. But it is 1920x1080. Also 16:9 not 16:10.

Another one for competition, but it is Huawei so no Google. 499 euro with keyboard and pen.

I have both. W11 in an office laptop that i want to get rid of. For privacy W10. W11 have conveniences like Phone Link(not sure if already arrived to W10) to connect to my phone, others suspicious like hiding bluetooth share..
