Does tech feel the same? It displays light, tandem-OLED on the new iPad Pro feeling too faded? Maybe this “TANK Pad”. a hybrid tablet projector it will change your mind. Is it better as a tablet or a projector? “Tank Pad” asks if it’s time to go back to when we crushed two different weapons into one Frankenstein-like entity.
China’s 8849 “TANK Pad” tablet is a rugged Android tablet marketed to engineers on the go or people at home who want to stream Netflix on their kitchen wall. At the top of the device is a 100-lumen projector. Otherwise, it sports a 10.95-inch FHD (1920 by 1080) display up to 120 Hz.
That’s not bad, but for all you need is a tablet, the MSRP of $1,000 can push it. Again, it retails for $800, and you can find it for over $500 on AliExpress. At least it supports 5G base and includes a SIM card slot.
The tank pad uses a DLP short projector, and with less lumens than smaller projectors, it won’t have the brightness you need to turn on your TV. Especially not because it doesn’t include a built-in representation, and there is no way to rotate the projector except to insert it in the right direction.
His other posts are a mixed bag. The device is powered by the Dimensity 8200, a mid-range processor released earlier this year, along with 16 GB of RAM. The device claims to have 32 GB of RAM, but 16 GB of that amount is “extra RAM,” which is also reserved for storage for many other tasks. Otherwise, it has a 512 GB SSD and a large battery, 21000 mAh. If you think it’s important, there’s a large 50 MP sensor for taking quick tablet photos. This last one can be useful for those with hard hats when they come out for their latest construction project.
That’s not all a tablet with a built-in projector but more of his kind. Lenovo once sold Yoga Tab 3 Pro and its round pico projector. This also had the benefit of a built-in kickstand. Project-tablet and project-PC designs have taken a backseat in recent years. Today, small projectors are their own viewing group, although they cannot provide the image of a modern IPS LCD or mini-LED TV. You have many soda can projectors from XGIMI and Anker. Budget-friendly TCL also has an upcoming projector that can project a 100-inch screen onto your wall or ceiling.
Featuring a large display with large bezels and rear-facing speakers, the only thing that can push the device over the edge is its projector. Yes, it’s brighter than the 2015 Yoga Tab 3 Pro, but it’s probably not bright enough to compete with your dedicated projector.
But maybe it’s time to get back to the weird hybrids. I want to see the return of projector phones. Maybe we can use dumb ideas to sell. I know I can use it Acer’s Dual Play laptop with a built-in controller. Remember the time Alienware has created a gaming laptop in the presence of Steam Deck and they didn’t release it? Maybe the technology “ideas” should be less “ideas.”
