Hey everyone, I am currently in the market for a tablet. My requirements are that it has pen support(either proprietary or usi I don't care), an unlockable bootloader, and a fairly powerful snapdragon processor (preferably 8 gen 3 or 8 elite or something). I would like it to be around 10 inches closer to 9 would be better. I don't know if that's possible though. If anyone has any ideas then that would be extremely helpful.

Edit: I forgot to say what I would use it for lol. I would mainly be using it for note taking since I'm in college but I might also do some switch or PC emulation on it as well.

Pixel tablet should be good through June of 2028.

Underpowered for what?

[–] Stez827@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

It is only getting security patches until 2028. Honestly that doesn't matter much though because of the strong custom ROM support. It's underpowered for pretty much anything and everything. Any heavier emulation will struggle and I could disregard that but when you can get a OnePlus pad 2 for a similar price and you get an soc that is an integer factor faster it's just not a good option.
