Is this considered a mobile device meaning many apps are not optimized on a tablet but are compatible with a phone? What's the biggest difference of this NOT having Windows and only Android? These are my 2 biggest concerns. null

Holley · Accepted Answer

I can do anthing on an Android that I can do on a Windows system. I'm retired now, and have had no need regarding apps for networking on the job. But with Android, I bank, invest, have sold and bought a house with no problem, signing documents for approvals, etc etc.
Regarding portability, its as portable as any laptop. I think of this as a laptop more than a tablet because of its size.

In addition to the "android is pretty good actually" answers seen here. There is a feature called "second screen" that allows you to use the tablet as a display for your Windows computer over wifi. It's quite good!

If you can't do the thing on Android, use Second Screen with your PC to bridge the gap!

This is the best question in the Forum. There is not a reason to have a tablet unless you work or design for tablets or used tablets in an environment where a Windows computer that folds into a tablet is not an option which I don't know why it would be. If there was a major difference between the two then Samsung would not have produced DEX. My opinion though. I've the 360 Pro too. I use the tablet more.

This depends on what you're doing with it...

If you're using it for office work, they look like the desktop versions of the Microsoft apps.

If you want to edit videos, even Luma fusion is more like a desktop app.

Games, that's a mixed bag, some are desktop, others are cellular.

So, you get a mix and to me the worst is the Chrome browser, but you should be able to change the browswer agent and have it load desktop web pages by default.

Yes, a viable alternative to windows,  OSX and iOS. So long as you are not needing more powerful apps such as photo shop etc.  If you are mostly in the cloud. This is a great Chrome alternative.
