Also, would be nice if Lenovo had trade in to reduce the costs.
I've been looking for a B&M store to see it in person. Best Buy has a few stores that indicate they have a display, but it is the P12 model that seems to have a lot of screen lag scrolling or swiping.
Add in the limited updates to only the next Android 16, I'll wait it out.

I have some numbers showing you the actual speeds of the tablet compared to a Gen 8 Elite Chip. These percentages ARE ACCURATE.
The fastest is the Gen 8 Elite... lets call this 100%... represents SD 8 Elite tablets.
The MT8300 is at 69% compared to the Elite. Represents THIS tablet.
The G2 is at 45% compared to the Elite. This represents the Pixel tablet.
Finally The SD695 runs at 22% compared to the Elite. This represents the Tab S9+
And now my question again, where do you stop? Because I am planning to buy the Redmagic tablet for $521 tomorrow. And based on the specs I believe it is worth the extra $240... that is why I ask you... where do you stop?
I stream on my tablet to watch TV and movies most of the time. And I want OLED. I also like small tablets vs big tablets... sub 9" is my favorite size. I crave speed. So Redmagic Astra Gaming Tablet hits every thing on my list and it includes UFC 4.1 (even faster internal harddrive) 12GB and 256GB and SD 8 Elite and I feel for $521, this is a very good deal.

But even if you change the batteries, you are talking about OLD tablets, so old that most new software would not run properly on such an old OS. Not to mention you will go bald from pulling your own hair out for waiting so long for anything.
And as far as I know, your tablet comes locked and it is usually not possible to unlock your tablet. Hence, don't expect a third party OS to work. And even if you got your tablet unlocked and you installed Linage or something... chances of your tablet working 100% is very low. Too many issues with installing third party ROMS.
I also like smaller tablets but I like SUB 9" or either 8.4" or 8.8" or 9.0"
It's fast. The iPad chip benchmark's a little bit better but you're not going to notice any difference. On devices like this the bottleneck is not the chip anyways it's the OS. But Android is a little more friendly than iPad when it comes to downloading stuff like revanced and new pipe and using extensions on browsers and ad blockers.
Any insights on which will be more intuitive, easy to operate, etc?
