Tablets

[Mus]

No this isn't for chygry's perversions



Does anyone know if they've made a tablet computer yet that can run fm15/16/...etc

Not the crappy app version though the full one that's off steam

 

[Alex]

I'm sure any of the Windows 8 tablets that actually run full Windows 8, not the scaled down version, would.

But I'd wait for Windows 10 now.

Why would you post that? It runs Android. It may be a great tablet but completely diverts from the initial brief

I see, is that like the Microsoft surfaces?

 

[Alex]

I believe most surfaces are Windows RT, which is the scaled down tablet version. You need a tablet with an x86 or x64 processor, not an ARM one, and Windows 8.1, not pretend Windows 8.1 (Windows RT).

I found this that sort of explains it:

[Alex]

Oh wait apparently most new surfaces are now Windows 8.1 not RT. Just check before you buy to be sure

 

[Mus]

Google tells me that that is one of the differences between the cheaper ones and the "pro" version


It also tells me that FM isn't really optimised for touch screen yet and you need to double tap to click in-game and the touch screen keyboard doesn't work, damn. Maybe next edition, it's a pretty good idea I'd say, even if a niche market at the moment

 

[Pogba4Now]

yeah FM on microsoft surface would be like a laptop because you would still need track pad/mouse.

I love Microsoft Surface's concept but you can get a better deal buying a laptop. The cheaper surface pros also have very limited disc space like 32 or 64 Gb. Any game would easily take up that space.

Also the next surface will surface soon so wait and see.

Also if you want games, you will have to buy an i5 processor at least and at least 128 gb. This already makes it $1200. You can get that in a laptop for maybe $500 or less.

EDIT: and the keyboard comes seperately at 100+ dollars

Huh what? Just for the record I was offered an iPad for free recently, because the person who offered it, had nothing to do with it, and I politely declined. Tablets are shite and had it been a laptop I would have sincerely agreed to take it.

I already have a laptop, I was looking at something more portable

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I do t understand tablets at all. They're too big to be an iPod and too small to be a good laptop, I really really don't see what is the point?

 

[Mandieta6]

Making money off people who are too lazy to sit at a computer but who sitll want the comfort of not using a tiny screen.

I entered a competition in the supermarket yesterday where there were two different cheeses one marked cheese a and one marked cheese b and I ate them and said which one I liked the best, cheese b, clearly, and the girl entered the results on one of those tablets but it kept going wrong and took 10 times as long as it would have to enter the result on a piece of paper. It is the only time I have ever seen a tablet being used for something.

And the sad thing is, this degree is going to make you highly, highly employable in the modern world

What does your story have to do with FM on a tablet? Oh, that's right, nothing.

And how do you sincerely agree to take something?

 

[Alex]

My little brother and sister have grown up using them in school. It's strange.

I can see that they would be a good learning device. Touch screens can be much more interactive and intuitive than computers.

I bought a tablet years ago when they were first getting big, and rarely used it. My phone screen is 5" and I generally find that plenty big enough for anywhere I can't get my laptop out.

Yeah, pretty much nothing. The point of it was that getting a decent laptop would be a better option, just in my opinion though. And I don't know Mus' preferences, nor why he wants a tablet. So there's that.

Sincerely agree to take something? I used the wrong word, you know very well that English is not my native language and I was drunk at the time I posted that. Is that the best you can come up with, commenting on my mistakes on the English language?
