Screen size and plugins (# of USBs, aux, HDMI, etc) is probably the one you need to pay the most attention to depending on what you'll be using it for. Getting a computer with an i5 or higher processor will be good for speed (not too familiar with other CPUs).

A solid state drive (SSD) will have faster startup than a hard drive (HDD) and you'll want to get 256GB storage or higher. If you're getting something with HDD get 500gb storage or higher.

Some cheap computers come without a disk drive for CDs and such or number key area on the keyboard, so if those are important to you be sure to check for that.

There's my basic understanding. I would wait to see what Plank has to say if you want professional level advice though

A tablet is smaller?

It's like a big phone. No keyboard. ****in' boomer.

Does it have the limitations of a phone like not being able to use soulseek and ****?

Yeah, think so

Too bad blog piracy isn't what it was or you wouldn't need Soulseek as much.

Frownland 05-10-2020 02:25 PM

newalbumreleases.net is what's up

Do you want a bunch of free apps or the freedom of a computer?

I think that'd be the biggest thing to consider because both can stream netflix/spotify. I have an old refurbed ipad, its slow af and i dont really enjoy it, but it sure is nice to lay down at night with a small screen and watch youtube or a show.

Seriously, it really was the best. Found so much music that way.
