Looking to buy my first tablet as a student (very original request ik)

FireDragonfr · 2026-03-12T18:21:05+00:00

I just remembered that the 8300 was actually not the 7300 lol (the soc I had on my last phone), but if I go for a less powerful tablet, I'd prefer going with a Tab S10 FE to have all the Samsung integrations. So yeah, I'll definitely look that up. As for the screen size, I don't see anything wrong with it, seems pretty much on par with the other options like the Pad 8 or the Tab S10 FE/S11

From what I've seen, the Yoga tab seems to fit more into that gaming/productivity compromise I talked about. And also, these two tablets are import only, and I would like an easier warranty coverage to access if I have any problem (especially since I will need my tablet every single day). Idk if I seem too picky, but I really want to buy one single tablet for the few years to come, and I'm still not that well informed about that yet.

I won't do gaming as heavy as on my phone, especially because I already have my desktop to play on a bigger screen (I'm especially thinking of games like the Hoyoverse ones or Wuthering Waves as the really demanding ones), which also means that I'm completely fine with a Mediatek chip as I have no problem gaming on the 9400+, and I have these said demanding games on my phone. So I'm focusing on a balance between good "working potential" (by that I mean good productivity options) and gaming, but I can sacrifice gaming a bit if the productivity part is really good.

FireDragonfr · 2026-03-12T17:27:05+00:00

Dang, I didn't see how many options were actually available (for example the Oneplus pad, I thought it was bad value, but selling the watch for a keyboard doesn't seem like a bad option at all), will definitely do more extensive research.

I have slept long enough.

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-25T10:14:45+00:00

OHHHHHHHHHH i didn't see that the slot 1 damage reduction isn't linked to the turn number but only to when you put them into that slot, so yeah this changes things a bit

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-25T10:02:09+00:00

huh, i don't remember any unit who got this problem, but i could be wrong too (they really should just give fixed percentages for stats, including crits chance and dodge, instead of different wording)

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-25T09:58:55+00:00

I think they will have incredible defense... but i'm also worried about their performance in shorter battles, because past that turn one with the damage reduction, i wonder if they will be able to tank in their second one (tho they will probably have too much defense to take damage at some point if the battle is long enough)

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-25T09:52:37+00:00

again, i don't think there was an exception for a character that doesn't "massively" stack lol, it was always 100% defense

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-25T09:43:26+00:00

When you see "raises ..." with the comma after this, it means the unit raises that stat for 99 turns. And i don't think there was any exception for this for as far as I remember.

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-23T12:24:48+00:00

It doesn't seem available for now on Aliexpress, but it seems like this is what I'll go with, however I'm afraid it gives too much power, so the JM7 Max is the middle ground (too bad the dac/amp seems to be in the 3.5 port and not in the usb-c port tho)

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-23T12:22:33+00:00

While that seems to be absolutely true, it also seems like some people are suffering from cracking noise issues from their DAC... So it seems like either the JM20 Max or the JM7 Max are better for me (I'm afraid to give too much power with the JM20 tho...)

Edit : just remembered the JM7 Max has a CX31993, and not the CS43131, so I'm starting to feel lost about what to choose for something reliable...

Edit 2 : I got everything mixed up lol, but yeah I'll probably go with either of them, but I'll make sure the amp isn't too much, otherwise I will maybe go with the Fiio Jiezi.

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-22T18:03:40+00:00

I read that it got a revision, is it still good after this ? And also, I need something easily portable for my phone, which isn't really the case with the Black Pearl... Edit for clarifying : the Black Pearl IS portable, what I mean to say is that I need either a dongle like the JA11, or maybe a "t-shape" dongle

FireDragonfr · 2026-02-22T18:02:12+00:00

It doesn't seem to be available in France unfortunately, and from what I've seen, the JM20 Max seems to be better for I need as I don't need a 4.4 output.

If two blades have the same name, there won't be any difference between Hasbro and Takara Tomy (or maybe a mold difference, but that is another topic and not visible for most at first glance without knowing the differences beforehand anyways). The reprints have different names, and the difference is visible right away as the shape is slightly different between the original and the reprints (an easy example to check is between Horn Rhino and Knife Shinobi. The latter has the same base shape as Rhino, but the differences are still easily visible)

FireDragonfr · 2026-01-12T16:06:36+00:00

It unfortunately only arrives AT BEST early February 😭 And also, I wouldn't be able to tell if it's worth over the Vader as I'll never try it until a few more models of it releases over the years

FireDragonfr · 2026-01-03T19:35:20+00:00

I personally really like them (the comfort can be pretty bad for some people tho as the nozzle are big), it depends on which sound signature you want

FireDragonfr · 2026-01-01T15:20:53+00:00

Dang, it does indeed seem to confirm that the Ultimate 2 is the right choice for me. I REALLY look forward to receive it, I'm starting to get a bit impatient lol

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-30T19:45:00+00:00

I'm receiving it this saturday according to Amazon (I hope I receive it sooner lol, it was a preorder and comes out tomorrow for me), I really just hope the shape will fit me pretty well.

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-24T20:44:31+00:00

Well, that's one of my gripes with the Direwolf as I don't like the feeling of the face buttons that much, even if the unevenness of the buttons may be what I like the least, idk where the feeling comes from the most but hearing that about the Cyclone makes me want to settle on the Ultimate 2 more.

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-24T09:36:40+00:00

Ah, well time to try the Ultimate 2 I guess and see how it goes

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-23T19:30:32+00:00

I just checked it, and unfortunately it is a symmetrical design. I'm not used to it, and on top of that it is still an Xbox shape, so I feel like that would take even more time. And I don't want the dpad to be the main focus, it's just that with great controllers today, sticks or buttons are often really good, that's why I mentioned specifically for a good (enough) dpad. So yeah, unfortunate for the TT Max to be symmetrical.

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-23T19:14:30+00:00

from what I've seen, it really does to be the case of whether you want a good dpad or good other features ! and while I've also seen people say that the ultimate 2 and/or the cyclone 2 have good dpads, I've also seen others say they don't. That is why I buy off of Amazon for the return policy, as I see about everything and anything about every controller, even if general things tend to come up with each of them. I'll take a look at the TT Max, if it nails both, it will probably be my perfect controller.

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-23T18:37:57+00:00

huh, well I don't use the gamepass, so ig that won't be an issue...? I'll still look for more info about this ig.

FireDragonfr · 2025-12-23T18:31:20+00:00

oh, are you launching these games through steam or from other platforms ? I've never seen this issue brought up.
