Tab with windows and android

Всем привет!
Решил взять себе китайский планшет на Windows 10 + Android в связке. (это решено 100%)
Обязательное наличие док. станции и желательно наличие пера (не стилуса) для возможности рисования.
Размером примерно 10-11 дюймов
Такой выбор обусловлен тем, что планшет хочу использовать для работы, но порой бывают нужны приложения которых нет на Windows. Из имеющихся устройств, все с логотипом Microsoft, по этому необходимость во второй ОС имеется.
По мощности: серфинг в браузере, документы, просмотр видео и если будет возможность в установке и работе в photoshop, то вообще сказка.
По поводу передачи данных, сам еще не определился, нужна ли возможность передачи через LTE, так как можно и с телефона раздать интернет. Но опять же, если будет, то конечно большой плюс.

Прошу подсказать, какой вариант на ваш взгляд интереснее и возможно есть свои предложения.

Так же изучаю вопрос про win 10 и делюсь своими наблюдениями.

Качество чуви далеко не фонтан, народ пишет про брак и фиговое качество.
Про док станцию — она в большенстве своем не несет никакой пользы, ни увеличения размера батареи ни жесткого диска.

Может имеет смысл 10 + виртуалка с андройдом?

Тоже в схожих мучениях. Нужно обе оси. Высокая производительность, IPS опционально, но желательно, 10-12 дюймов можно и 9 и 13, но это крайне. Ценник до 35. Sim хорошо, но если что, есть модем.

Виртуалка не вариант, кстати. Производительность падает в разы. Пробовал штук 20 виртуалок на Dell 7566. Мой LeEco все равно шустрее.

Склоняюсь к Telcast x5, но выбор огромен и почему то на некоторых сайтах сравнения у Telcast 16 Power оценка производительности выше оО Как?

Выбираем компактный планшет с Dual Boot – поддержкой Android и Windows

Оглавление

Вступление

Неделю назад мы познакомились с большими планшетами с Dual Boot, то есть с одновременной поддержкой операционных систем Android и Windows.

Подобные гибридные устройства нужны не всем, однако для некоторых они являются возможностью заменить два планшетных компьютера одним. Как минимум, такие гаджеты позволяют немного расширить функциональность обычных «таблеток» с одной операционной системой.

Теперь подошла очередь более компактных решений с Dual Boot. Сфера их применения аналогична, к ним тоже можно подключить фирменные или универсальные клавиатуры, чтобы получить миниатюрную печатную машинку.

Разумеется, при столь небольших размерах экрана (семь-восемь дюймов) говорить об удобной долгосрочной эксплуатации не приходится, однако в дороге такая возможность может пригодиться. К тому же маленьким планшетам с двумя операционными системами можно придумать немало других сценариев использования.

Модельный ряд

Chuwi Vi8

Одним из самых популярных бюджетных планшетов с двумя операционными системами является Chuwi Vi8. Как и большинство конкурентов, эта модель получила пластиковый корпус. Ее размеры 207 x 122 x 8 мм, масса — 310 г. Такое устройство может поместиться в кармане пиджака или куртки, не говоря уже о любой сумке.

Сердцем Chuwi Vi8 является хорошо знакомый нам четырехъядерный процессор Intel Atom Z3735F с максимальной тактовой частотой 1.83 ГГц. Такой же чип используется во многих десятидюймовых «таблетках» с системой Dual Boot. Объем памяти составляет 2 Гбайта ОЗУ и 32 Гбайта постоянной памяти. Нехватку свободного места можно восполнить картой памяти объемом до 128 Гбайт.

Разрешение восьмидюймового IPS экрана составляет 1280 x 800 пикселей. Камеры на 2.0 и 0.3 Мпикс вряд смогут порадовать высоким качеством съемки. Кроме того, в корпус встроен один динамик, поэтому насладиться стереозвуком без наушников не получится. Среди очевидных недостатков можно отметить отсутствие GPS и слота для SIM-карт.

Chuwi Vi8 можно купить примерно за 80 долларов. Если учесть, что за эту сумму вы получите компьютер с полноценной Windows 8.1, то это неплохое предложение. К тому же к нему можно докупить чехол-клавиатуру.

Разумеется, восьмидюймовый экран не способствует долгой и плодотворной работе, но экстренно ответить на письмо с его помощью все же можно.

Chuwi Hi8

Сразу же разберем еще одну модель Chuwi — Chuwi Hi8 – горячую новинку ушедшего на этой неделе лета. По массогабаритным показателем она очень близка к Chuwi Vi8. Да и начинка здесь очень похожа: чуть более шустрый процессор Intel Atom Z3736F, а также те же 2 Гбайта ОЗУ и 32 Гбайта постоянной памяти.

Так чем же Chuwi Hi8 лучше своего собрата? Экраном: здесь разрешение повышено до 1920 x 1200 пикселей, что не могло не сказаться на четкости картинки, тем более при небольшой диагонали устройства. Правда, не обошлось и без ухудшений: почему-то емкость аккумулятора сократилась до 4 000 мАч.

Сегодня Chuwi Hi8 уже можно купить чуть дешевле 90 долларов. С учетом хорошего экрана это тоже неплохое предложение.

Onda V891

Onda V891 чуть больше других участников гайда, поскольку диагональ его экрана составляет 8.9 дюйма. При этом разрешение экрана явно не предельное — 1280 x 800 пикселей.

Остальная аппаратная начинка тоже не удивляет: здесь использован четырехъядерный процессор Intel Atom Z3735F, 2 Гбайта оперативной и 32 постоянной. Емкость аккумулятора Onda V891 составляет 5 400 мАч, что на общей скромном фоне является неплохим показателем.

Ближайшим родственником Onda V891 является Onda V891W. Основным отличием стало увеличенное разрешение экрана — 1920 х 1200 точек. Правда, емкость аккумулятора почему-то снижена до 5 000 мАч. В остальном смежные планшеты практически идентичны, хотя многие версии Onda V891W поставляются с 64 Гбайтами постоянной памяти.

Onda V891 можно купить чуть дешевле, чем за 90 долларов. Onda V891W уже дороже — ценовая планка предложений начинается с 130 долларов.

Onda V820W

Если диагональ 8.9 дюйма вам кажется слишком большой, то компания Onda предлагает иную модель — Onda V820W. В ней установлен чуть более компактный восьмидюймовый экран.

реклама

Правда, большинство остальных параметров здесь аналогично: практически идентичный процессор Intel Atom Z3735F, 2 Гбайта ОЗУ и 32 Гбайта флэш-памяти.

В Onda V820W установлено две камеры: 2.0 и 0.3 Мпикс. Емкость аккумулятора довольно скромна — 4 200 мАч.

В целом это типичный бюджетный планшет, стоимость которого стартует с 78 долларов.

Cube Iwork7

Cube Iwork7 является довольно простым устройством. В нем установлен семидюймовый дисплей с разрешением 1280 х 800 пикселей и уже старенький чип Intel Atom Z3735G (хотя в свежих партиях встречается и Intel Atom Z3735F).

Этим отчасти продиктован и очень скромный запас оперативной памяти — всего 1 Гбайт. Постоянной памяти у Cube Iwork7 доступно 16 Гбайт.

реклама

Помимо ОЗУ еще одним слабым местом Cube Iwork7 является аккумулятор — всего 3 500 мАч. С учетом этого мы не рекомендуем заказывать данную модель, хоть она и несколько дешевле конкурентов — от 78 долларов.

Tab with windows and android

Android Tabs Example

Example app showing how to implement tabs in Android.

Table of Contents

1. Import project into Android Studio
2. Switch to the desired Git branch
3. Hit Run

Each branch contains a fully working configuration:

• 01_swipe_views_and_actionbar: ActionBar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views), no tabs
• 02_swipe_views_and_pagertitlestrip_and_actionbar: ActionBar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views) with PagerTitleStrip (titles of current, previous, and next page), no tabs
• 03_actionbar_tabs_DEPRECATED: ActionBar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views), ActionBar tabs (combined with ViewPager)
• 04_swipe_views_and_toolbar: Toolbar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views), no tabs
• 05_swipe_views_and_pagertitlestrip_and_toolbar: Toolbar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views) with PagerTitleStrip (titles of current, previous, and next page), no tabs
• 06_tablayout_tabs_fixed_and_toolbar: Toolbar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views), fixed TabLayout tabs (combined with ViewPager)
• 07_tablayout_tabs_scrollable_and_toolbar: Toolbar as app bar, ViewPager (swipe views), scrollable TabLayout tabs (combined with ViewPager)

Typically, an implementation of tabs in Android consists of:

These are two independent navigation patterns, but they can be combined with each other.

In general: swipe views can (but don’t need to) be combined with tabs, and tabs can (but don’t need to) be combined with swipe views. However, tabs benefit tremendously from being combined with swipe views, as explained below.

Swipe views allow to flip through a set of «pages» by swiping horizontally on the screen.

Combined with tabs, this allows the user to switch to the next or previous tab by just swiping anywhere on the screen, rather than having to click on the tab itself.

• Swipe views are implemented by the ViewPager ViewGroup (declared in the activity’s layout XML)
• A page is typically implemented as a Fragment
• A PagerAdapter supplies the ViewPager with the pages (fragments) to display. In the case of using fragments as pages, this PagerAdapter is a FragmentPagerAdapter or FragmentStatePagerAdapter

The swipe views architecture is illustrated below:

References:

There are currently two ways to implement a tabs UI element in Android:

1. TabLayout tabs using TabLayout from the Design Support Library
2. ActionBar tabs using the ActionBar’s NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS feature (DEPRECATED)

This is the preferred approach as it’s easier to implement than ActionBar tabs and does not rely on an ActionBar.

TabLayout tabs are especially easy to implement if they are used in combination with a formerly implemented ViewPager (see Swipe Views), because then the tabs can be automatically populated by the ViewPager (i.e. no need to create and add the individual tabs manually). This is shown in the following:

1. In the activity’s layout XML, add a TabLayout element above the ViewPager element (and below the Toolbar element, if a Toolbar is used)
2. In the activity’s onCreate method, call setupWithViewPager(ViewPager) on the TabLayout to populate and integrate the TabLayout with the ViewPager (requires that getPageTitle of the PagerAdapter is overriden)

Note: to use TabLayout, the Design Support Library must be added to the project. In the module build.gradle file, do:

References:

Note that this approach was DEPRECATED in API level 21.

This requires the usage of the old-fashioned ActionBar as the app bar (rather than the «modern» Toolbar).

To implement ActionBar tabs, the following steps are needed in the activity’s onCreate method:

If the tabs are used in combination with swipe views (see above), the tabs must be bidirectionally integrated with the ViewPager:

This ensures that when the user clicks on a tab, the ViewPager switches to the corresponding page (1), and vice versa, when the user swipes to another page, the corresponding tab is selected in the ActionBar (2).

Due to this, pricing may not be favorable to many, and a cheaper option may already be available from other lesser-known manufacturers. With this in mind, let’s start with our list. Here we go!

1. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.5: (2018)

This tablet is the latest edition of Samsung’s A-series, which also supports Pen inputs and faster processing compared to its predecessors. This model comes with thinner bezels yet grippier for handheld use. You can use the Samsung keyboard with this for business productivity applications.

On top of this, it is a mid-range device and is cost-effective compared to this bigger sibling, the Galaxy S4 tablet. Check out its specifications below:

Ports	Dedicated microSD
Battery Life	7300 mAh battery
Size	10.24 x 6.34 x 0.31 in
Weight	529 grams

2. Apple iPad 9.7 (2018):

If you are an Apple fan, this latest iPad is the one you need to buy. It comes with all the bells and whistles like retina displays, an A10 Fusion chip, along the entire Apple ecosystem. And yes! It does support the Apple pencil for Pen inputs. Typically, most of Apple’s products come with all the necessary sensors, including Accelerometers and Gyroscopes. Overall, highly recommended.

Check out its specifications below:

Weight	469 g (Wi-Fi) / 478 g (LTE) (1.05 lb)

3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5:

The Galaxy Tab S4 is arguably the best Android tablet currently available on the market today. It also comes with Samsung’s own DeX platform, where you can transform your tablet into a PC. The Super AMOLED Display is crisp and clear like you would expect. Even though it comes with a 10.5″ OLED display, the 112% DCI-P3 coverage like the Galaxy S9 is simply insane.

The large battery and storage make this tablet a joy to use. The Adaptive display with 80% RGB is excellent, and the color accuracy is just about perfect. We don’t like the older SD830, 4 GB of RAM, and the lack of a fingerprint scanner. Take your pick!

Check out its specifications below:

Weight	482g (Wi-Fi), 483g (LTE) (1.06 lb)

4. Huawei MediaPad M5 8:

One of the few tablets on the market that supports Pen input and runs the latest Android OS is awesome. It is a great looking tablet and fits on your hands nicely. We like the Fast fingerprint reader and the display at 2500 x 1600. Great sound with Quad speaker setup, which is louder than most in this range. Overall a great fit for most users!

5. Microsoft Surface Pro

The first option that we got here for you is Microsoft Surface Pro. It is an upgraded version of a very popular Microsoft Surface Pro 4. There are various customizable options available, which range between 899$ – $2000+. Of course, the final price varies and will depend on the offers that a marketplace is running. In addition to that, you will need to buy accesories like the keyboard and can make you poorer by [amazon_link asins=’B071J2GQWM’ template=’PriceLink’ store=’foi04-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’3598f13a-0c51-11e8-bdb8-ab3464b1da47′]. Even the baseline model of the Surface Pro 4 is a supremely versatile work machine. It comes equipped with a low-power Intel Core m3 processor with 4 GB of RAM and 128GB of “SSD” storage, priced at approximately around $899. That’s speedy enough to handle basic business tasks, but heavy multitaskers will want to opt for a beefier higher-end spec. The top-end model has a snappy Core i7 CPU with 16GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. There is also a mid-range option available that costs somewhere around 1200$.

The Surface Pro’s versatility lies around its Hybrid features. You can quickly detach the keyboard and convert it to a 12.3-inch tablet. We haven’t faced any lag while using Microsoft Surface Pro 4 or the current generation, even during heavy multitasking. You can expect a battery backup of around 6 hours with continuous browsing over WiFi. The device is very lightweight, so it is straightforward to travel with this tablet in your bag. Surface Pro 4 has a user-friendly magnetic strip along one edge, which provides a handy place to stow the pen when it’s not in use. The new Surface Pro 4 has incredible pressure sensitivity to pin inputs. The only thing that can compare this with is the Wacom tablets. However, the Wacom tablets are designed primarily for active-pen inputs targeted at creative professionals.

Surface Pro 4’s total cost of ownership can escalate, especially when you consider its accessories costs. The keyboard, docking stations are all extra accessories. Even then, this product is such a huge hit due to its ease of use and hybrid functionalities. It is also one of our top picks for the best tablets with Stylus to buy. Here are the device specifications below:

6. Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (With S-Pen)

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 is the latest hi-end tablet from Samsung, competing against iPad Pro and the Surface Pro tablets. It’s predecessor, the Galaxy Tab S2, was already showing its age, and Samsung fans were anxiously waiting for this tablet to go on sale. It is currently available in selected markets worldwide.

7. ASUS Transformer 10.1″ with Stylus & Keyboard (2017 Edition)

It is Asus’s newest offering for 2017 with an Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor. The new architecture promises up to 20% more performance than its predecessor. The magnesium alloy casing gives it a posh feeling. Since this is a Transformer tablet, the tablet can be detached from the keyboard and used as a standalone device. The tablet also provides a full-size USB port, something which is not provided with other tablets. This tablet has many standard features compared with Microsoft’s Surface offering but at a lower price bracket. Here is a quick summary of its specifications below:

8. HP Elite x2

Business buyers will appreciate the Elite x2’s customizability. The system comes in a wide variety of hardware configurations. The base model with 4 GB RAM and 128 GB SSD with Intel Core m3 processor is at an affordable price of $899. The top-end model packs a Core m7 processor with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD and costs $1,899. There is an intermediate option available that costs around $1349 and comes with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD storage with an Intel Core m5 processor. So, the more you spend, the better hardware you will get.

HP Elite ran for around 7 hours on our battery-life test, which simulates continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi. It comes with an active stylus that is super smooth in note-taking and drawing. It offers 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity. But in actual you won’t feel any difference between the two. Overall this is the second-best tablet with the stylus for note-taking, drawing, and everyday business purposes.
