This is the CHEAPEST OLED AMOLED screen tablet on the market.
It is running Android 14 and it's unclear when and if it will see an update to Android 15. Acer has also said nothing about the update duration that can be expected, only that there should be new versions approximately every six months.
The issue with the screen.... is that it goes only 400nits when my ZTE RedMagic Astra Gaming Tablet does 1600nits.
Really, it is a hard pill to swallow knowing that for a few more bucks you can get so much more. I can not spend $300 on a G99 CPU when you can find tablets with same specs (not the screen) for less then $100.

wanted to add... in the title it is called a Tablet PC but it runs Android 14? SOMETHING IS WRONG OR MAKES NO SENSE.
And I don't think a G99 can handle windows.

I've seen sub $100 tablets that use the same cpu the G99. You are paying for the screen which imo is too much. If you wan't a nice tablet in america that has a good oled screen it's either samsung or apple. If you live outside the USA you have much better options like Honor or Xiaomi.

What's a decently priced tablet with a comparable screen. That has a beefier processor? Honestly curious 🤔
