Android Tablets are UNDERRATED in Desk Setups 

this guy is always so honest. very balanced in his videos. i have no intention to buy this tablet (or most of the things featured in his videos0, but i am always inspired to optimize my ownworkspace after watching. this guy is literally better than all of the verge reviewers combined. love your videos dude!

love these! i have a 42 inch and have been wanting a small tablet like thingy and have taken so much inspiration from your vids!

great video, i just got a lenovo tab p11 and its great and so useful, i started to look for a great tablet to buy for my setup since i watched your first tablet video, keep up the great work

Yes, super display is great. I have a Lenovo yoga tab 13 and it has an HDMI INPUT to attach to a computer but even though that was my plan, super display works better and one reason is that it gives you a touch monitor. (With stylus if the android tablet has one like mine does). Your use of the second display using Android apps is a great solution. Using super display as needed is great. Simple when used daily with a complex twist when needed. Space desk works, too especially if you want to use an older android tablet or an ipad (even old ipads like an ipad 2)

Dude this is exatcly what I was looking for for my home/office setup. I'm a multi-monitor guy, so I already have a dual-monitor setup for video editing and productivity, but I found myself needing more room for display some videos, controling my music and having some dashboard on, while still using the other two monitors on full screen. It was exactly what you mentioned on the video! I specially liked the wireless screen-mirrowing and the widgets part. I'm buying it now

Ooh yes! I do some of the same things with a first generation Samsung Galaxy Tab A, but your video gave me more ideas! It primarily serves as a Home Assistant panel when I'm not using it with my main PC. When my PC is on, I have it running Deckboard instead and propped up using a MOFT stand I have attached to the back of an unbranded clear case that the tablet is attached to. (2:15) Yep, I do also use it to control Spotify playback, especially when I listen to podcasts! (2:54) I haven't yet tested SuperDisplay on my main PC, but tested it on my secondary PC and can confirm that it works great. On my actual desk setup my main PC would be connected to, it would come in handy for when I want to have easy touch controls for a specific window. (5:17) On mine, I just have two KWGT widgets set up in a way that replicates the look of the Google Nest Hub ambient mode. However, I also have AndSY installed and set up to automatically launch the Home Assistant app on Android start-up. (1:08) Yep! The only brands I can think of that provide Android with its stock UX (give or take some device manufacturer add-ons) are Google, Sony, Lenovo, Nokia, Fairphone, and Planet Computers. I think there may be more but I'm not sure.

this is exactly what i've been doing for a few years now, i have a crappy android tablet leaning on my lamp as a secondary display or music control or clock or notifications, i dont have the space for a secondary display so this solution is perfect for me, when i use it as a secondary display i use spacedesk, also for charging i have it plugged in into the pc so it slowly gets charged overtime

Thanks for the great idea. I didn’t buy the suggested tablet. But, I did repurpose an old tablet I had laying in the drawer.

i use the p11 plus from lenovo in my car as a dashboard. it makes my dumb car very smart. it's dope.

If you want some more customization for your tablet's home screen, try some alternative launchers. My recommendation is Nova Launcher - while the coolest features are paywalled, it is by far my favorite of them all. Disguised as the stock google android launcher (or, to be more precise, the AOSP one), it lets you go out of bounds by customizing the layout grid (with far less restrictions than usual), allowing widgets to overlap, optionally bringing back features and/or looks from old Android versions (like letting you open the app drawer with an icon isnead of a gesture or adding a search bar that persists on all your home screen pages) and setting up cool and useful gestures for extra ease of use.

I like this idea. I'm an engineer and stuck in the mac world. This made me realize ... a 4th generation ipad mini is about the same price (refurbished for sale on amazon for 140, about the same price as this m9 lenovo) and could do the same things. It should function with sidecar to be a wireless monitor for your mac set up working as your third monitor (macbook pro supports up to 3 external monitors). This leaves your main monitor set up for everything else. One monitor for the IDE to write the code, a second monitor for research and email. Then, this should let the ipad function as a third display for spotify controls, and also an always visible view of your upcoming meetings.

I use the app Super Display with my Galaxy tab S8+ as a second display, and it's almost perfect. You could try it if you haven't, and make a great video about it. Keep up with the good content

I’m a Mac user and have been using an iPad Mini as an accessory monitor for years. Apple has supported using an iPad as a fully functional external monitor over wifi for a long time, and you could do it with third party apps before that. The iPad is a lot more expensive than this tablet, though.

I never thought of it, but it makes sense. And it also seems like it doesn't work as well for say an ipad mini because, honestly, widgets are still a new thing in that ecosystem. Like I have one and am trying to set it up, but the widgets I have access to are significantly more limited and lower feature than on Android. So I'm struggling to think of what widgets I have access to or apps I can get that will add that sort of fucntionality to it. Otherwise I'll be using it more for apps and like web page dashboards

If you want a better tablet (better screen and soc) in the same size, check the lenovo legion y700, this tablet is absolutely amazing in this size imo. better than the ipad mini and cheaper

I see that Yamaha THR guitar amp! I use my old THR10 as an all in one external USB DAC, AMP, and speaker for my desktop. It doesn't look like you are using it the same way (and it looks like you may be using something more proper) but trying to use it as one would be a great video for this channel.

Hey babe, new WFH just dropped

What stand are you using for the tablet? thxs

How about we use Elgato mobile app (though paid) with it and turn it into something more than an expensive stream deck. Hope that will make another use of these android tablets. Also, you can use smart home apps to control various things, without turning your pc on. Edit: also, can you mention about its heat generation, since it's constantly turned on.

Heyo! I really like your vids but this "blur" effect on the screen is just killing me. It feels like it's something wrong with my eyes :D Anyway, thanks for your awesome content!

re: your question about android tablets being better than we think, all reviews insist that everything is still not optimised for the android tablet, but at this point the only thing that doesn't really look perfect on an android tablet is instagram and maybe twitter depending on the week I guess (but personally I don't want to use either of them on my tablet as they're already such a time waste).

What was that music app that you were using? I like the record player animation.

What monitor do you use on your desktop? Looks so big. Good video by the way.

Is there a way to play music from the tablet and have sound come out of pc speakers?

You should really do a video where you try the Apple Ecosystem for a week. Seems like lots of your "issues" could be solved with it. (ofc other issues will appear)

What app are you using to use the tablet as a secondary monitor? I had this Duet app back in the day but now they went for really pricey business model a few years ago so I'm looking for recommendations.

As a Mac user, this is how I use my iPad Mini. It's good enough for Zoom calls too so it eliminates a lot of the extra stuff I'd need for my desk.

Mini Monitors are great for Split Keyboard users since your hands will stay towards the center of your body

what monitor is this?

You really have me curious about this one. A smaller screen like this that doesn't require a custom OS or a lot of tinkering may be exactly what I need to add. FYI - Your links to the horizontal and vertical stands are the same.

Are you no longer using the Spotify Car thing?

I love your content and this video was excellent but the amount of bloom made the actual videography harder to watch, to a point where I thought there was something going on with my eyes.

whats that ergonomic keyboad?

🎶 757 yeah we'll never go to heaven 🎶

The product of the sponsor of this video is the most interesting part of the video.

Just out of curiosity. How many hours does the battery last for you? Do you keep it on the whole day? Just when you are on the pc? Or do you only turn it on when needed?

I don't know if you have a bloom filter on your lens but at least to me watching on a MacBook Pro 16in M1 - 1440P the whole frame looks out of focus. And the stuff that isn't supposed to be in focus is just too bright and soft (not bokeh) just look off. I don't remember your videos looking like this so not sure if you were trying something new.

Seems like a perfect tablet to read manga or something on

I'm amused that in each of your videos I've watched you're using a different "ultimate keyboard". So has the tablet completely displaced your mini rectangular keyboard?

I think weve come full circle

Great content but for feedback, that glow filter isn't doing anything for your content. Still going to watch but I'm not about it.

MATRIC

Very nice! However, the tablet is actually $150.

I do like to know the specs though:(

Amazon tablets should be illegal. They're unusable after a couple of updates if you get any. I went through 2 of them because I have kids. The updates are forced. You can't use an SDcard to offset the internal storage on most apps. While the hardware is lacking, they should run ok for most ppl right, mostly content consumption. But the ads and horrible software, it's essentially a big scam.

It would be great if you did a video (or maybe a series) about all those appa that "instantly sync with your desktop via the cloud." You got really hand-wavey in that bit of the video. That was supposedly the primary factor that made the tablet usable as an accessory display, yet you gave it maybe 28 seconds. What are the apps? How do you set them up? How does having them available **while you are using your PC** actually enhance your workflow on the PC? I keep both my phone and tablet handy when at my PC because, well, it's my frikkin' desk. I check things like the weather on my phone instead of the PC simply because I'm used to the Google weather app. But that does nothing for my workflow on my PC. I have OneNote installed on all my devices. Yes, it syncs through the cloud. Yes i can edit outlines and shopping lists on any device. But, when I'm at my desk, I absolutely never reach for my tablet to edit something having to do with what i am currently working on on my PC. If anything, I'll edit my grocery list on my desktop, so it will be available on my phone while I'm at the store. But that is NOT what you were talking about. Quite frankly, it kinda feels as if this video had two sponsors, only one of which was disclosed. If you want us to believe that you actually use that tablet on a daily basis to ACTUALLY enhance your workflow on your PC, while you are at your desk, then I think you're going to need to put your mouth where your money was.

bro i love the vid but I can't keep watching, I can't stand this gaussian blurr efect you put in all the video, looks so "dreamy"

Lol bro, you didn't upgrade your desk setup, you literally just purchased a tablet.
