I always look for an Intel processor in a tablet so it's compatible with not only BB4W but can be used for intel asm stuff and my XP software Current unit is a samsung Q1 ultra which cost buttons but as with many of these gadgets the screen is too small for my ageing eyes, particularly if you want to use it extensively as an e-reader
The 10inch screen is still just a bit too small for me and hopefully they will bring out a 12inch version at some point You can get a nice A4 type display with a 12 inch screen
I have around 50GB of searchable pdfs and with a decent screen you can carry around an entire searchable library consisting of hundreds of books and thousands of magazines on whatever interests you in life

Some Android tablets use an x86 processor (the Tesco Hudl 2 is a well-known example in the UK) so theoretically could run my version of BBC BASIC, but of course it's the wrong Operating System. Anybody fancy porting BB4W to Android/86?!
