Need a cheap tablet. Recommend?

[Fudley 4]

I need to get a cheap tablet for testing. 

 

-Needs to work with Windows 11. and Delphi 12.

 

-Preferably under $150.

 

Any recommendations?

Do you mean you want to tablet to have a Win11 operating system and you want to run Delphi on the tablet?

Most tablets have an ARM CPU and run Android or iPadOS.

Delphi 12 cannot run on a ARM CPU, unless the virtual machine emulating an Intel processor is run above the the OS. In my opinion, this is not possible with a table under $150.

There are tablet PCs having an Intel processor but their price is much more than $150. They are not in the "cheap" category you are asking. Google is your friend to find them.

Hi  François ,

 

I am so sorry I really messed up that description!

 

- We are developing apps for Android, using Delphi 12, on Windows 11.

 

- We need an Android tablet to be used only for testing the android apps. (and possibly as a Kindle alternative 📓)

 

- We want to spend under $150 if possible (OK if it is used or reconditioned)

 

-I am used to Samsung, so that would be a plus

 

I hope that is more lucid. Thanks!

Yes, you did.

To be clear, you need an Android tablet with ARM CPU.

To test your application, you need a relatively recent tablet so that it runs the latest Android version. If you buy a reconditioned one, pay attention to which Android it runs.

Delphi 12 “officially” supports Android 8.1 and higher. Delphi 12.3 officially supports up to Android 15 (API level 35). This is required for Google Play Store apps.
