Does the technology feel too similar?Is the bright, tandem-OLED display on the new one? iPad Pro do you feel too boring? Perhaps this “Tank Vault” hybrid tablet projector your imagination will run. Better as a tablet or a projector. The Tank Pad asks if it’s time to go back to when we rolled two different devices into one, Frankenstein-like creation.
The Chinese brand 8849 is a rugged Android tablet marketed to engineers on the go or people at home who want to project Netflix onto their kitchen wall.The top edge of the device has a 100 lumen projector 10.95-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) display up to 120 Hz.
That’s not bad, but if all you wanted was a tablet, the $1,000 MSRP would definitely push it in. Then it retails for $800, and you can get it for just over $500 At least it supports 5G base and includes a SIM card slot.
The Tank pad uses a DLP short-throw projector, and in relatively low light, it won’t have the brightness you need to replace your TV, especially since it doesn’t include a built-in stand. and there is no other way to rotate the projector than to tilt it in the right direction.
Its other specs are a mixed bag. The device is powered by the Dimensity 8200, a mid-range processor released earlier this year, plus 16GB of RAM. The device claims to have 32GB of RAM, but of that total, 16GB is “extended RAM” which is essentially a repurposed storage for doing some multitasking. Otherwise, it has 512 GB SSD and a large 21000 mAh battery. If you really think you need it, there’s a 50MP main sensor for taking quick pictures from the tablet.This last feature can come in handy for those with a hood when they’re out on their latest construction job.
It’s not the only one a tablet with a built-in projector but the most powerful of its kind.Lenovo once sold Yoga Tab 3 Pro with its rotating pico projector. It also had the advantage of a built-in projector-tablet and projector-PC design in recent years. These days, compact projectors are in a class of their own, even if they can never offer a modern IPS LCD or mini-LED TV picture quality You have a lot of soda can sized projectors XGIMI: and: Anker. Budget brand TCL also has an upcoming mini projector that can project a 100-inch screen onto your wall or ceiling.
With a relatively chunky main screen with large bezels and rear-facing speakers, the only thing that can tip the device over the edge is its projector. Yes, it’s brighter than 2015’s Yoga Tab 3 Pro, but it’s likely not bright enough to compete with your custom projector.
But maybe it’s time to go back to weird tech hybrids.I’d love to see a comeback projector phones. Maybe we could use some dumber concepts to market.I know I could actually use it Acer’s Dual Play laptop with a built-in controller.Remember when Alienware has created a gaming handheld ahead Steam Deck: and didn’t you ever release it?Maybe tech “insights” should be less “insights”.“.
