      I found Lightroom to be a very shortcut-heavy app, particularly when sorting through dozens or hundreds of photos. I’m not sure if the Android version has improved, but I’d at least run through some videos on YouTube to see if the user interface suits your workflow.

      Also depends on where and how you’re travelling. Do you need slim and compact, or can you get by with lugging a laptop out of your bag and opening it up on your lap or seat tray.

      I might have scoffed at that price for an Android tablet, which I usually associate with media consumption and casual gaming. That said I do have an M1 iPad Pro, which is at the same price point, and I have had success using it with the Magic Keyboard for office and productivity purposes while travelling.

      YMMV, but I certainly wouldn’t rely on a tablet as a sole device, unless you have access to remote desktop.

        Probably referring to the touchscreen digitiser.

        I've got one with the same screen, it's there but it's really not that bad imo (the photo from linked thread is super close up), I'm fine with the trade-off for touch functionality but I can see how it could annoy some people though.

        Could always go check one out at JB Hi-fi or whatever to see if it's likely to bother you.

      • sidozziee on 11/12/2023 - 15:04

        From Google:

  • AppVisionAus on 10/12/2023 - 22:50

    Very good deal.
    But I may still wait until the intel ultra releases - 14th dec. The 12th and 13th intel CPU power consumption is really annoying.

    • Look Up on 10/12/2023 - 23:24

      The 12th and 13th intel CPU power consumption is really annoying.

      The "Intel 4" 7nm process is still one gen behind TSMC 5nm in Zen 4

      Further complicating cores into 3 types - Performance, Efficient and now Low Power - guarantees a poor launch

      Intel will need to rewrite the schedulers for Windows and Linux plus account for all the real world edge cases with games, media encoding etc

      Intel CPU's will not compete with AMD until 15th Gen when the tile process, Arc iGPU and scheduler are all prime time

      • dcep on 11/12/2023 - 03:16

        • Look Up on 11/12/2023 - 10:36
          +1

          Parts of 14th Gen are already from TSMC:

          CPU tile - Intel 4
          GPU tile - TSMC N5
          SoC tile - TSMC N6
          I/O tile - TSMC N6
          Tile connector - Intel Foveros 22nm

          The main CPU tile is still Intel 7nm which is why power consumption and heat still lag Zen 4

          Yes on paper no in reality, not to mention OP’’s light officework usecase. There is no app that 1340P will perform substantially better than 1335U so performance isn’t really the factor for decision.

        And don’t forget OP’s HP is $400 cheaper…that’s a big deal if OP doesn’t need the 2-1 convertible functions

      • amaslam on 11/12/2023 - 11:50

        I second this. Both my kids (Year 8 and Year 3) have ex corporate Dells (7490 or 7410) and I upgraded the RAM to 16GB on both and for one also put in a new battery (if you're patient and OK with a screwdriver).

        I find the ex corporate Dells/HPs have sturdier hinges than the newer Acers/ASUS and can survive some kind of drops. That said if the kids bust them I can either fix them (lots of parts available) or just get another one.

        Schools these days aren't pushing the capabilities of modern laptops as alot of the work is on Google and browsers. These run those sort of things just fine. Unless the kids are doing heavy video editing (rare) then even the photoshop and MS Office works just fine on these (those care more about the underlying RAM than the speediest CPU).

        • theangrywaffle on 11/12/2023 - 19:45
          +1

          I think those 8th gen intels are more than enough for professional use case still too. I needed a windows device (have a maxed out m1 as well, but parallels just wasn’t cutting it), so I bought a thinkpad t480 with 16gb ram for $320. The laptop is a beast. 4 cores 8 threads.

          I prefer using it over my MacBook these days, even for personal use. Sure the MacBooks got a better display, trackpad and audio setup, but otherwise the thinkpad holds its own. I primarily run excel, PowerPoint and a bit of r, the thinkpad smashes these out.

          My MacBook is the air and it heats up running parallels. It also heats up when I connect it to a 4K display too. It doesn’t have active cooling so you’re limited by thermals. My thinkpad has not heated up whilst connected to the display. The fans only become active when I launch an application for the first time, which lasts about 10-15 seconds and then it’s just as silent as my m1, but significantly cooler.

          Plus, I can place the m1 in a flat position and turn the laptop screen off and use the thinkpad keyboard as my primary input device. The nipple is hard to move on from once you’re used to it.

          P.S. highly recommend picking up a refurbed business class laptop from 8th gen intel onwards.

          • LurvinOZB on 11/12/2023 - 19:57

            @theangrywaffle: Thanks y’all. Will hold out for a cheaper one. Don’t think a fancy one will last past the six months mark.

            Would a yoga slim or thinkpady or think book be more sturdy/ durable for kids nowadays?

            • theangrywaffle on 11/12/2023 - 20:11
              +1

              @LurvinOZB: The thinkpad line is quite durable and would be really easy to source parts for. If you want a slimmer device, the x1 carbon gen 6 is great value. I’ve got the t480 as it has more customisable parts, they’re roughly the same price these days. If you want a bit of both, the t480s is also great.

              Just watch out as the thinkbook from what I remember are not as well built as thinkpads. I think it’s Lenovos scheme to trick people into thinking they’re well built machines like the thinkpads. I may be wrong but I’d definitely read more into it regarding their reliability.

              Moving away from the thinkpad series, I would highly recommend a HP elite book. I was using one for work last year with 8th gen intel in it too. They’re built a little more like macs with a more premium feeling chassis and better screen than the thinkpad. Plus the trackpad was slightly better.

              I can’t really speak for dell laptops. Haven’t owned a dell laptop and haven’t really had the opportunity to try one out properly.

              When I walk into jb, I always tinker with the laptops to see how tech is coming along. Honestly anything less than $1500 feels realllly cheap and flimsy. Not very well made machines that are in my opinion e-waste.

              I would 100% prefer a 6 year old high end business class laptop from Lenovo or hp over a new windows laptop that’s not business class. But again that’s my personal preference and some people just prefer shiny new devices.

            • amaslam on 12/12/2023 - 09:44

              @LurvinOZB: I have experience with the Elitebooks and the Lenovos. I find the Yoga 370 is a good one. Screen is good, get 5 hours from the battery at least and can still max the RAM out (16 GB, but I think some people have gotten 32 GB to work, officially maxes at 16GB if you don't want to try).

              Even my really ancient Lenovo (E531 ~2013) runs Win11 with 16GB RAM. It's a big screen model (16") so heavy but with a 3rd Gen Intel Core I7 (4 cores/8 threads) holds its own even now. Only the screen is washed out (not broken, just not as bright as the current and last few years). What I really like about the older laptops is that they still came with replaceable batteries, socketed CPU (yes on a laptop), 2 RAM slots, and even mini-PCI, M.2 Sata in some cases so you can even have multiple physical storage drives.

              Thinkpad are good if you look at the better models (X1, T480, T490). Lenovo does this trick in current gen where the specs except the display are good.

              I think around the $400 price point you get a lot of quality in most brands in the used market.
