A good one

Orico stuff aint bad apparently

Local chink shit shop (MSY) sells them and they're quite good

@TCxUFATIME maybe

£32 Windows tablet update: the paltry amount of storage and RAM, and the low speed of the storage, is sometimes painful. This is a really cool machine for just watching YouTube or Netflix or whatever in bed, though.
The 2GB RAM means it does a lot of swapping to disk if you try to do more than one or two light things or have 4+ browser tabs open, and the page file reaches about 2GB, so you've lost 2GB of your meagre 32GB storage just from the page file.
I've nuked the Android partitions to give Windows more space. In its default configuration, Windows had about 3GB free, which wasn't enough even to install some bigger Windows Updates (or the latest build). Also installed fresh Insider build to hopefully get rid of any chink backdoors. I'm very happy with this thing, now, for £30. It's impressive how much you can buy for that these days. This is essentially a fully working modern computer.

Also, received Mi Band 2 that I paid £7 for. I like it a lot. The sleep analysis stuff seems cool.

@Adam W link to tablet pls

I got it on a ridiculous flash sale. It's normally £60-£80 https://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_598248.html

damn that's great

The display's really nice, too. Perfect bedtime video machine.

it's not chink shit but the lowest I've gotten a tablet for was the 2015 fire and it has half the ram that thing has

how much did you get that for?

30 US

nice

any suggestions for android tv box or anything of that matter? got a pretty decent tv that's just collecting dust, and would like to watch some tv shows/movies on it ocasionally

yeah, did you try the android partition before nuking it? probably ran a lot better than the windows one

@aebkop do I charge them all

I'm sure it would have dealt with the low RAM better than Windows does, but I'm not really interested in Android on tablets tbh.

wow

@Cole nitecore charger, they're gonna charge very slowly if you charge them all at once

Wanted it to see how far I could push it as an actual PC. At some point I am going to see if it's possible to run Photoshop and maybe Premiere on it for shits and also giggles.

This is csg approved

@Adam W I can only imagine the render times on that thing

also, what linux distros are good for low RAM machines?

haven't used any linux for years, very out of touch

@z3rk no problem, I have time

@Adam W can you tell me which WiFi module is in there?

if it can run GNU+Linux, it'd be great

I'll have a look when i get home in 8 hours

@Adam W I like LXDE for low ram machines.

some huge bars / icons on xhidpi xfce and that thing would be amazing

i've heard the biggest PITA will probably be finding touch screen drivers for linux

nono

the wacom driver usually works for all

I've also tried puppy linux but it wasnt for me

i'm pretty sure the wifi is something from realtek. it's also pretty bad. very low range.

but yeah i'll check the actual model when i get in

would be very interesting to know if there's a Linux driver available

@aebkop happening
