So I want a device (laptop, tablet, phone.. whatever can do it) that can fill the roles for my long distance traveling.
I will be out of WiFi range often, but when I am in range I would like to:
Watch Anime (animefreak.tv)
Watch Twitch/Chat with Twitch
Check Emails
Google Maps/GPS positioning
The device itself needs to have:
Long battery life, or extended battery support (ie: hot swap batteries, dock,etc)
BlueTooth (headset use primarily, with full keyboard support if needed)
I purchased a Asus Transformer TF701T Tablet+Dock thinking that it was exactly what I needed.... boasting a 17hour life with it's dock, a smashing 2560x1600 300ppi ultra high resolution display, and NVIDIA® Tegra® 4 Quad-core ARM Coretex-A15 with 72 Core GeForce® GPU....
However.. the device seems to buffer constantly, and worse, when it does play it tends to De-synch from the video, usually in the form of the screen freezing and the audio still playing, but rarely in the form of the video playing in fast forward while the audio is still normalized. My android phone does a better job of playing the Anime APP, which is sad. (MotoX Gen1 through Republic Wireless)
I don't know what this problem is, but if it can't even get a steady connection here at home, there is no way it'll work for this long distance traveling I planned.
Android just updated on it, so I plan to fiddle with it a little more to see if I can make it work right, but honestly I am so disappointed in it I think I will end up returning it.
So what suggestions can we come up with?
Will this Transformer Tablet actually work - just needs something?
