Looking for Tablet With Good CPU. This is what I had before https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SM-T580-10-1-Inch-Touchscreen-Android/dp/B076MMCTWP. It was sufficient in all aspects accept its CPU speed (or at least I think so) Hence, I'm looking for a tablet similar, but with a faster CPU. Do know or any or how I should approach this?

Their would have to be a very compelling reason for me to have to deal with Apple

 

You asked for a tablet with a good CPU. The A12 Bionic is one of the best SoCs on the market, on surpassed by the A13 Bionic.

What's the best Android CPU at that price point?

 

The Snapdragon 855 is the best chip Qualcomm has to offer right now, at any price point.

Android tablets are currently hot garbage at the moment. Either get something disposable like a Fire tablet or get a iPad for media consumption or a 2-1 chromebook/Surface Go for productivity, if you need that CPU for gaming maybe look at the switch lite

Well the X is only available in the iPad Pros. I Don't really recommend those to anyone tbh, way too much power and they are cost prohibitive.

At $200, you're looking at some real low end SoCs. It really isn't worth spending that kind of money on an Android tablet, just save up for the iPad 7th gen, or go with something way cheaper like the Amazon Fire tablets.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

I'm relay looking for a table that will not lag on basic task like web browsing. So long as it can do that, I'm fine with the cheapest tablet.

They're good for drawing, my friend who goes to an art college uses the new iPad Pro (the usb-c one) for drawing

And if you get the last get ones with a A10X, for like 300-500$, and the A10X is still decent. my ipad mini 4 w/ an A8 is perfectly fine media consumption (it has the same PPI as my iphone XR -_-)

Just get something like the Fire tablet. For web browsing its acceptable and your not dropping 300 dollars on something that has probably already stopped receiving security patches

Actually, a Chromebook with an IPS screen would probably be better, with mouse support and a keyboard.

If you're just looking at web browsing and basic content consumption, then go for the $329 iPad with the A10 Fusion. It has a larger screen now.

I'm very hesitatent to go with apple because I can't do things such as emulate games and things of that nature. I don't want to have to deal with a restricted system
