I went through three !! of these cheep tablets.. Each one died with
screen failure.. Two different makers, one Samsung.. I gave up because
they died after I had put all my access info in them and did not want to
send them in and have someone have access to all my android account
info... So they are gun fodder waiting the next trip into the woods...
Changed to an apple for reliability...

I wanted something cheap and small. The tablet was only $120. I've
thought about getting a chromebook for a field laptop, but I think
they all need Ethernet dongles. Which would work, but is just another
thing bopping around in the truck.

I would not buy an "Android tablet" any longer. Much (much!) better
to get a Chromebook. They really do run current versions of Android,
and the ones with detachable keyboards are just great. Do not believe
the (old, tired) comments that Chromebooks are only a browser. They
are much, much more, and have evolved tremendously over the last few
years.

I recently got a small tablet (Samsung Tab A, 10.1") to watch videos
while traveling. It works fine for everything that I do on it,
except for Microsoft RDP. The RDP Client works perfectly on my
Pixel5 phone, but when I connect with the tablet, all the screen
updates are seconds delayed.
Googling for fixes, everything is based around problems connecting.
It connects fine, it's just unusably slow. Could it be because the
CPU of the tablet just can't handle it? It seems like it shouldn't
be any more cpu intensive than watching a video. These are the only
2 android devices I have though, just my phone and tablet, so I have
no other android testing options. I normally RDP from my laptop or
Phone, but every now and then I'd like to RDP without pulling the
laptop out, but want a screen bigger than my phone.
