Can a tablet replace an office laptop ? My journey.

Another experience, a negative one with HP Smart software - in Android it do not allow for greyscale printing.

While Windows version obviously allows. Instead Wi-fi scanning in a Tp Link Powerline network range extender  via auto document feeder worked well.

 

 

I have been an HP printer user for years. I have recently switched to Epson and Canon.  HP has fallen behind and their software borders on spy/nagware now.

Yeah, they are not like the old HP printers like my 5660 (I think).  It was the best printer.  I had the accessory photo cartridge and it worked awesome.  

 

I swapped out my ipad for the dell 5169 I had lying around.  Loaded linux and waydroid.  Now I have the best of both worlds for my tablet duties.  A real OS when needed, and adroid apps to top off the experience.

Yes, it's an 11 inch 2 in 1 system.  it's got an M3 chip with 515 graphics, 960gb ssd and 4gb of ram.  Runs great on Zorin, runs ok on 11.
