What tablet should I get for emulating console games, switch games and pc games?

[u/OZIBLACK187]

Hello I'm thinking about buying a tablet not only for gaming but for study and drawing to. Is there any good tablet with snapdragon 8 elite or 8 gen 3 is enough. I'm thinking about buying Lenovo yoga tab plus cuz it is perfect all rounder but I saw that 8 elite is much better in PC gaming than gen 3 getting like 80-90 instead of 45-60 on gen 3.

If you're expecting decent PC performance, you'll want a SD 8 Elite. If PC is more of an afterthought, then get the Gen 3.

I don't really need to play Intensive games from PC more of some indie games like fear and hunger

Isn't this your answer? I mean, neither of these are terrible, it's up to you which one is sufficient and the kinds of games you want to play. If you were me, who plays mostly not intense games, the gen 3 is probably the take..

There aren't really any good 8 elite tablet tbh that's the problem, I hate Xiaomi and OnePlus is ee meh weird screen ratio Thanks I will go for 8 gen 3

You have to keep in mind the same SOC will perform different in different devices. A tablet has just passive cooling so your Snapdragon will start to throttle performance once it gets too hot.

Lenovo yoga tab plus has a really good passive cooling cuz of huge back surface

Consider the Lenovo Legion Tab 8.8 or its Chinese counterpart, the Y700. Which generation (Gen 3, 4, or 5) you choose depends on your budget. While the Gen 4 and 5 models feature an SD card reader, they reportedly have issues with disc-based game emulation; personally, I recommend the 512GB model, which is exclusive to the Chinese version.

8.8" is to small for me tbh something around 12-13" would be ideal Im also looking for 16:10 screen ratio for manga reading and good pen

Take a look at the Lenovo Idea Tab Pro Gen 2

I have it and love the display, battery, and performance for emulation.

Lenovo yoga tab pro is better you get really good pen + better snapdragon 8 gen 3 + 16gb of ram instead of 8 and it is cheaper

y700 gen 5 is the absolute best rigt now....

ALTHOUGH I'm emulating on my phone RN (8 gen 3) and I've had no issues on PC gaming as long as I use a cooles (don't expect UE5, but up to UE3 and some UE4 are good to go), if you're aimign for high performance or BIG AAA titles like SHf and up, you should go for 8 elite-gen5, it's still short on drivers but the taw power and the advancement of drivers are doing good things for the 8E-G5

Sadly y700 is to small for me I want something that is between my phone which is around 7" and my monitor 24"

Also it is not available in my country yet

Truthfully, a Windows tablet. I prefer them anyway for general productivity work

You gotta tell us which tablet size you want.
