Kangadrool Supersonic November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 i want to buy a tablet but i m confused by the choices. I need a tablet to be able to process excel, connect to printer via USB to print out. Best to have a keyboard to connect. Last i heard Asus Transformer can do the job? but its already an old model right? is there any new/upcoming model similar? Too clunky and messy with this combo IMO. Must well get a 11" ultrabook with touchscreen like Asus Vivo. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happily1986 5th Gear November 22, 2012 Share November 22, 2012 Any info about manufacturer and model of CPU? Anyway RAM is too little. ICS needs alot of RAM. I use about 450MB on idle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok i just did some googling. MTK6575 is the SoC. Never really heard about. Okay, it is dual core SoC using 2x Cortex A9. I don't have any benchmark figures but i think the dualcore A9 should be decent. However the GPU paired with this SoC, the SGX531 is weak. It is a weaker sibling of the GPU found in the Samsung Galaxy S or the iPhone 4 (SGX540). Since ICS is hardware acceleration driven (using GPU to help render the UI) and you are using a 7" 1024x600 display, recommend you get a SoC with a better GPU. Go for tablets that are using the Rockchip RK3066 SoC. This SoC/CPU is also dualcore A9 Cortex but its GPU is the Mali MP400, same as Galaxy S 2. So now, this tablet i wont recommend because of the GPU and the RAM. Edited November 22, 2012 by Happily1986 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
