Need Help On a Tablet Decision

[Ryou-kun]

Hello LTT,

 

I am deciding on two different tablet: iPad Mini 4 (16GB or 64GB) or NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1 (or rumor NVIDIA Tablet X1), however, I need a sidekick tablet with my Surface Pro 3 i3/4GB/128GB that I carry it with me to school.

 

Any thoughts or opinions?

 

Thank you very much, LTT.

Shield tablet for sure

It's iOS vs Android. 

 

Android on tablets kinda sucks penis.

But since Shield is only 8 inch it's not too bad.

It is just that both of seem to counter each other on Pros and Cons.

 

iPad Mini 4: 

- Great at managing battery life at both sleep/standby mode or casual usage

- Bought couple of iOS Apps

- Interesting Splitscreen 

 

NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1

- Controller

- Get to play emulators

- Customize

- Get to play awesome games with the controller

Yeah, I would rather save battery life on my SP3 while using it at school for 4-5 hours usage, lol.

I am aware you could play games and use eText/eBooks (Apps/Websites), but it would eat my SP3 battery life a lot.

Mostly eText/eBooks and casual usage. Of course, the obvious answer is probably NVIDIA Shield Tablet K1 because it is cheaper and powerful. 

But it isn't 4x3/3x2 aspect ratio like S3/SP3/SP4/SB and iPad that is great for looking eText/eBooks. Not saying 16:9/16:10 is impossible just looks a bit awkward.

 

Right now, I am still thinking. Both look great for certain things that I want, but I can't get all of it.

Get an iPad Mini 4. If you're looking for a text of any description. chances are that it's in iBooks.

Thanks for the help.

Funny, I rarely use iBooks, lol. I mostly use Chegg/CourseSmart/Kindle or the shitty MyLabs.com app.
