Best Gaming Tablet?

Probably some Samsung thing but honestly I don't get the whole appeal of gaming phones or whatever. The games are pretty mediocre compared to even games on a basic PC or last-gen console, and you generally have to use a touchscreen for it. I just don't get it.

Probably a Galaxy Tab S6 or some form of iPad.

You don't really get any benefits from different tablets. Any high end one will use virtually the same hardware.

You're not looking at it properly at all, that's why. It's more of a replacement for something like a Gameboy. You're not meant to replace a PC with it.

At least with a Gameboy I have tactile buttons and 95% of my game library isn't shovelware with ads every 20 seconds.

I know that I'm dodging the question with a totally different answer but there's a compelling case for the Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Lite. 

 

The Switch Lite is $200 MSRP, which isn't a bad deal. 

(If only I wasn't a poor kid) 😞

iPad Pro in terms of total specs plus the whole Apple Arcade thing.  So you get what decent games there are on mobile with no ads.  My question is more, if you want a mobile experience, why not get something like a 3DS or Switch?
