Indeed, performance is not the main concern (The spectrum analyzer tool looks like it was made in the 90s and has matching low requirements ). Build quality and weight are more important.

Hello, because i have to use a wifi analyzer on the job frequently, i am looking for a compatible (windows as os and at least one USB port) tablet. It needs to have a bright screen and it has to be sturdy. So no wobbly, cheap tablets. Running around locations measuring rf-activity is quite tedious in itself so it should not be a heavy brick. And last: because it is only needed for this one specific job, it should not be too expensive. I already checked out the surface go but i feel like there have to exist good, and maybe cheaper alternatives. So, do you guys have any recommendations? Thank you!

Hey! Just a quick text about my experience trying out different screen protectors... - Performance Design Screen Protector (Official Nintendo licensed): This one is quite expensive and very hard to apply. It is cut to the exact measurements of the screen. There is no space left on either of the sides which makes it very hard to apply. Once placed there is almost no chance to reposition it and even if the position is only half a milimeter off you wont get it on the screen without problems on other edges. Once it is on it is very flat, there is no noticeable added thickness to the switch and the friction on the dock does not change noticeable with or without the felt-tape. - Orzly Screen Protector: Comes in a 5 pack and is quite cheap. Compared to the one mentioned before this one is way easier to apply. It comes with a little alcohol cloth thingie to wipe down the screen. This helps a lot with applying the protective film. It is cut a little bit undersized and therefore is also more forgiving if you position it ever so slightly off center or rotated. As with the other plastic protection film, no noticeable change in thicknes and friction. - Glas Screen Protector: A little bit more expensive than the other options these things are easier to apply if you cleaned your screen correctly. But they add a lot of friction when you put the switch into the dock or remove it. With the felt adhesive it requires some minor force to insert it. I decided to use the cheaper plastic film protector because it came in a five pack and it feels better in combination with my dock modification

It does not really need patience, to add some velour tape to the dock, its a matter of minutes And you do not even need to disassemble it. You might need some tweezers but its easy to access the rails without disassembly. The important thing, at least in my opinion, is to use something really thin. And for the screen protector, with the current state of the dock, as long as you want to use the dock, it might be better to stick with the plastic protector. The glass ones add some thickness and would lead to more scratching (on the screen protector, but still scratches.) and more stress on the dock.

Hello! I have been a silent reader on the forum for a long time but the topic of screen damage on the switch just made me register an account As a switch owner i was concerned a lot about the dock scratching the screen even if nintendo seems to not admit that it can happen. In one of the last WAN shows Luke mentioned the screen scratching, too. I have seen a few 'solutions' by different people on the net and most of them seem to opt for a thick felt or foam padding. But that does not seem to be a good solution because it puts even more pressure on the switch's screen, especially if the dock is already bent. A screen protector is a must, but the hard plastic rails on the dock are still an issue for me (The were not bent on my unit but still, i dont like potentially scratching my screen). I spent some time figuring out a solution that would be comfortable and not too thick. What i found is a really thin velour film with adhesive backing. I applied it on the rails and now the switch slides smoothly in and out of the dock without too much pressure and more protection for the screen. (I wrote a little blog article about it for anyone interested, you can find it here ). Maybe there are others out there that like my solution
