  1. I tried and it's very noticeable if you scroll fast, not a deal breaker for me Yeah I totally agree and games on the s8 don't even run at 120 fps and for regular use it's not so big of a difference. I have a 155hz monitor and see no difference in regular use to the other 60hz. I barely take notes on paper so not an issue for me. I suck at handwriting and I hate it so not a problem. Screen size is a plus and a minus. As far as space I think I should be fine then. Do you suggest the mini over the s8 then?
  2. all the UI is a scaled down version of the bigger one so the icons and text are too small. Not expected from Apple honestly but they could fix it
  3. I downloaded the apk in a last minute save lol I know apps on android are inferior on a tablet but the mini as well isn't that well optimized and samsung dex is nice. What do you think?
  4. The 64 GBs really put me off plus IpadOS for the mini isn't that well optimized. I don't plan to do any serious work since I have a desktop and laptop, even tho my laptop isn't that portable so if I can bring a tablet sometimes instead of that it woud be helpful
  5. Hello, I'd like to get a tablet, I don't really need it, but I'd like to get one. I already have gaming desktop pc, 6 years old not very portable 15.6" gaming laptop (which I still use for work when I'm not home) and a "small" phone pixel 3a and I'm getting a galaxy s22 soon. As you can see I'm not in the apple ecosystem. I'd like to get a tablet to use around the house, in bed (my laptop gets too hot) and for when I travel or for when I don't need a full pc when I'm around. My main use would be: youtube, netflix, movies, web browsing, social medias and discord, reading e-books and why not some gaming. IPAD MINI PROS: very portable I'd easily carry it everywhere, perfect size for reading, better app optimization than on android, longer support (I guess at least 6 years), cheaper, brighter display for use outside of home, minor but it has better games or better optimized games than android (afaik), center stage (not that important really) CONS: only 64GB (is it enough?), smaller display for media consumption and general use, Ipad OS isn't that well optimized on the Mini in terms of UI sizing, extra money if I want the pen, jelly scrolling, no vanced youtube (goated app I love it) GALAXY TAB S8 PROS: Bigger storage and basically unlimited storage for movies on the sd if I travel, bigger (and good) display is better to watch movies and general use overall, 120Hz refresh rate, you get a pen and a keyboard (but no trackpad, idk how it is to use a tablet with keyboard but no trackpad), you get another tablet that I hope I could sell for 150€ at least, so total cost could go to 480€ but I'd probably get the 45W charger for 45€ so 525€ total (same as Ipad mini), samsung dex can make it more similar to a pc use, better multitasking, better internal camera placement (not that important really), youtube vanced, I have an android phone and I will have a galaxy s22 soon. CONS: Less portable, probably too big for reading and especially out of home like at the beach (what do you think, is it too big?), less bright screen for outside use, worse app optimization (like discord is terrible afaik), less years of support (4 vs the many of the ipad), worse selection of games and less optimized games (none of the famous games runs at 120fps). Considering these things and what products I already own, what would you pick and why? Thanks
  6. Hello, as the title says I'm looking for IEMs under 100€ to only use with my phone and maybe sometime my laptop. I don't use a dac, just straight from the 3.5mm jack of my pixel 3a. I stream music from Tidal HiFi, I need these only when I'm going around outside (for the future since I'm stuck in quarantine) and I need a portable solution. I already have a pair of AKG K712 pro with a JDS Atom to use at home and a pair of Sennheiser Momentum to use like when travelling. Wired or wireless is the same, but I'm 99% sure I'll get a better value from wires. Since I mainly use them with my phone I need a mic since it's way more convenient for calls. IEMs + a replacement cable with a mic are accepted as well, as long as the total is still under 100€ Thank you!
  7. Edit: added LOXJIE D10 at 100€ from Amazon, found the Magni 3+ at 146€ from schiit UK instead of 178€ from schiit USA
  8. Thanks for the explanation! It seems like my best option after all, isn't it?
  9. https://blog.jdslabs.com/2019/11/jds-labs-element-ii-official-release-benchmarks/ This is the best thing that I've found but I really don't understand a lot of the performance comparison. The Dac between the two, the usb controller it's different and the amp is more powerful on the 2. Other than that I'm too noob to understand
  10. Yeah I think the Element 1 is starting to be my best option. Do you know how much worse it is compared to the element 2? I couldn't find many comparisons Thanks
  11. Edit 2: Added Creative Sound BlasterX G6 at 160€, I could get a discount on the Beresford Caiman SEG, added a 10€ cheaper Topping D10 option but w/ longer shipping
  12. Edit to my list: Added xDuoo TA-01B and JDS Labs Element 1, clarified that the Topping DX3 pro is v2
  13. We are in quarantine so I can't go out to ask and I don't know any shops. The only website I visit in italian are newspapers lol, all my internet is in english I'll if something in italian exists Btw I made a list with all the prices so people that don't know pricing in Italy could help me as well
  14. I'd like to have optical in if in a future I'll get a console (I play only on pc rn) but I'm not spending way more just for that, if it's a small price different I'd go with the optical option. The problem with Drop is that you have to wait for the drop shipping for some items (usually like a month after the end of the drop) and then 3-6 weeks to ship to europe. It's way too much time! The objective 2 amp is in stock only with medium gain, standard gain is out of stock so is a no. Grace sdac ships June 12 so nope. So what you suggest is a topping D10 + jds Atom= 109 + 123 (or 172) + 20 = 252€ if lucky or 301€ if unlucky, but the most probable outcome (customs)
