hi I am Ornob. Planning to learn android apps development. So I want to buy a notebook. but I am so confused which brand and which configuration should I buy. I like macbook pro but 13 inch macbook pro core i7 is "dual core". here is the link https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
but there are some quad core core i7 notebook available in different brand. like toshiba, hp, lenovo.
and some core i7 processor is "HQ" some are "MQ" and also some are "U". specially core i7 U for Ultrabook. all brands have their individual ultrabook which are looks gorgeous and maximum ultra-book give longer battery life which is impressive! But.... core i7 "U" processor not powerful as like core i7 HQ or MQ processor!!
I have no budget limitation just want to buy the best 13.3 inch notebook to learn android development. I always will carry my notebook, so it should be 13 to 14 inch.
does anybody help me to chose the best and most powerful notebook for android apps development.
please help me, my class will start after 20 days so I need to buy my notebook within 20 days!
please!!!

I know the Viewsonic viewpad 10/ G tablet (viewpad 10: It is a name in Chinese. notice viewpad 1o is not viewpad 10s. Viewpad 10s has a Intel N445 CPU, DDR3 1Gb ram, and It run Windows 7)
G tab only has one DDR2 512mb ram but has a powerful Dual-Core ARM Cortex A9 (DDR2-667 (Tegra 250)) 1 GHz, per core from.
My questions are:
1. Can I replace a DDR2-667 1GB ram on the Viewsonic G tablet?
2. Is there anyone have installed the Android 3.0 Honeycomb on G tablet? Is it stable? Is it 512 ram enough for Android 3.0 Honeycomb?
3. Are all Android softwares run full screen on G tablet? such as, UC browser, QQ Music, Angry Bird, Some E-Book Reader, Skyfire, Skype, Sky Browser, UC Thunder, Document to Go...
Oh there is one more question.
Compare the quality (not include price)
Malata Zpad T2, T8 VS ViewSonic G tablet?
Which one is better. I know they have NVIDIA Tegra 2 A9 dual-core, but Zpad T2 and T8 they have 1Gb ram. T8 (screen is a clone of ipad) is IPS screen so IPS screen has a better viewing angle than G tablet.
After you guys reading these above. Should I wait for NVIDIA Tegra 3 which is 1,5 GHz 4 core cpu release in 2012.
dude search
The viewpad 10 is the dual boot with intel CPU, the vp10s is the viewsonic version of the advent vega with a slightly different outer case.
The Malata smb-b1004/1005 is an upcoming version which will release with honeycomb and has a better screen. It was announced/demo'd at MWC in Feb. But I don't think it is available yet. I think these are sometimes called the zPad T2.
The zPad T8 is quite expensive and is out now but with Froyo.
I think for half the price and with good developer community, the gTablet is still the winner.
I would stick with the tegra tabs. The updated gtab/Malata tab should b out soon. Those have better screen and 1g DDR. Pricing not revealed yet but. Guarantee it'll be more expensive.
I think 512 is enough for honeycomb but a gig would be great too.
the gtab is just a solid value. The best priced tablet to date, spec wise.
Honeycomb on the gtab
I had a nook color and ran Honeycomb on it just from an early dump found somewhere and it ran fine. obviously there were a few bugs but it ran very well. The gtab should have no issues when someone gets Honeycomb ported over.
To actually answer some questions:
1. Not possible without soldering, special tools and skills.
2. No honeycomb yet.
3. The vast majority work well and fullscreen. Some don't.

Wait for the tegra 3 if you want that kinda power, the tegra 3 is great, but the tegra 2 is pretty awesome for right now. Technology changes and moves so fast that by the time tegra 3 comes out ull want to wait for the tegra 4 that is already slated.
Its all personal pref.
If you are looking for a windows type system, maybe wait for a great version of the linux distro Ubunutu that is being cooked up to a full working version.
I based my decision to buy the GTab on the fact that the Tablet race is just getting started. Spending a lot of money right now to me is wasteful. I can get the best price / performance value right here and later in the year or even next year see where everything falls with the upcoming tablets. No need to spend five or six hundred for really very little, if any performance gain.
thanks for your answers
I just have ordered a Tablet PC, but not pay it yet. because it is 7 Inch Capacitive Screen Android 4.0 and only $79.5 , free shipping
I do not know whether it's worth!
looking forward more ideas!
Can you say more about this tablet? What is CPU, GPU, RAM etc?

Mali 400 is very good GPU in this GPU you can run most games!
And CPU A13 1GHz is too very good for this price! You can in this tablet watch fullHD movies and i think web browsing in for example Opera Mobile would be nice
I've got one of these similar devices. Trust me, they might sound good, but they fall apart if you plan to use it extensively. Mine randomly doesn't install apps for some reason, I have to install apps 3 - 5 times before they will install correctly. Pathetic.
The deal-breaker would be 512Mb RAM and 4GB Storage. If there's no expendable storage, you shouldn't buy.
by the way, check this one out

Hmmmmm..the other specs seems too good for the price..but..the resolution seems tooooo low for a tablet. 480x800 looks good on only smartphones. It will look ugly on a 7 inch tablet

Tablet would be a good for development to test your apps. Not sure about daily usage though, might be a little janky......
That tablet sucks.
Cheapest tablet for the money is the Ainol Aurora. Anything cheaper will disappoint.

thanks, everyone!
this is one of the many models of the Chinese market. a 2-fold lower price it's a gimmick. Look on the characteristics of the tablet is mnogo.protsessor A13 is the cheapest right now.
There are a bunch of different models of the ICOO D50.
You have to read the specifications very carefully.
The one with 1024 x 600, HDMI out and 8 GB doesn't look bad.

I can't post links yet
it depends on how you use it,don't expect it can work like ipad.
however the price is not good for this chinese tablet, maybe you can add a little to get a refurb. nook
good luck
here is a video of the tablet.... looks pretty good to me. main thing i worry about is the battery life.... 2600 ma.

hi I am Ornob. Planning to learn android apps development. So I want to buy a notebook. but I am so confused which brand and which configuration should I buy. I like macbook pro retina display but 13 inch macbook pro core i7 is "dual core". here is the link https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/ on the hand macbook pro retina display 15 inch is core i7 quad core but it's too big for me to carry a 15 inch laptop all the time. Maximum developer suggest mac and I have a plane to go ios after android. So mac is the best choice for me. But is core i7 dual core will be wise decision for long term? I have no plan to change to the laptop before two years.
there are some quad core core i7 13 inch notebook available in different brand. like toshiba, hp, lenovo, dell

I came across the following product on IndieGogo, and I have to admit that I got really curious by their story. They designed a device that combines a phone, a tablet and a laptop. And not only that, but you actually get a 7 inch phone and a 2x7 inch dualscreen laptop. Tabletmode is the 7 inch phone with a very special dock which will be explained later. Oh, and the device runs Android and Windows. Simultaneously.
To dive right into the specs, click here. To read the story and see the full indiegogo page, click here.
Specs
The windroid version comes with a i5 or i7 processor (t.b.d.), 4 or 8 gb of ram and 256gb of SSD storage. The graphics card will be the intel 4400 or 5000 series.
The phone (and tablet) come equipped with a Snapdragon 801 (can change to the 810 closer to production), 3gb of ram, 16,32 of 64 gb of storage and a 3200mAh battery (which can increase closer to production).
The pure android version doesn't have the seperate windows hardware and functions solely with the phone hardware. The phone also comes with a bluetooth headset and touch pen.
Prijs
The Windroid version can be pre-ordered on Indiegogo for 400 dollars. The Android version is priced at 300 dollars. When released the pricing is planned to be 799 and 599 dollars respectively.
I think the pricing on both of these devices is amazing for the stuff you get, both the Indiegogo and release prices. The are some drawbacks though, especially if you are an intensive laptop user. Double screen is nice, but 2x7" is extremely small to work comfortably. What do you guys think? Is this the "next big thing"?
I just got my Cube talk 9x. I really like it. I know it is old about two years but for me it is new. I have been wanting an octa core tablet just because I am a nerd and just to experience it on a tablet. I do not like Samsung Tablets and certainly did not want to spend that kind of money. I already have an Nvidia K1 and I really like it for a lot of reasons but I wanted a bigger screen and an Octa core processor with longer battery life than my Nvidia. I love the Nvidia but the battery life leaves a lot to be desired.
I did not want to spend a lot of money, $200 being my limit. As you can imagine that does not buy much in larger format tablets. First I started with the cheap amazon octa cores with the Allwiner a83t and the likes of Dragon Touch. Thank God for Amazon prime returns! Those devices were just awful and the Allwinner A83t was not a good processor. I was very wary of buying a tablet direct from China. Heard some horror stories but I took a risk anyway.
Had a bad experience with Gearbest.com but had the Cube talk 9x enough to know it was a good device even though the first one was defective. Dealing with Gear best turned into a PayPal claim.
I tried Geekbuying and had a much better experience.
So now I have my Cube and I received new March 17th update. Of course I was hoping for Lollipop but no. Still on KitKat but I have to say it is very smooth. Very stable build of Android. Ram usage seems very well optimized.
So what makes this tablet special? Well for the cost only one other tablet in this size range has the same amount of ram which is the Lenovo tab2 a10. The Lenovo is nice with a 64 bit quad core cortex a53 media tek processor clocked at 1.7, full HD screen. However the Cube has a 32 bit octa core cortex a7 clocked at 1.7 and a retina screen. The Cube is made from a solid Aluminum body while the Lenovo is plastic. The Cube also has gorilla glass 2 while the Lenovo just has glass. Acer has a new 10.1" tab with a mediatek 8151 cortex a53 octa core processor and 1 GB ram and a 1280 x 800 screen. Unfortunately the low res screen and 1 GB of ram really hurt the user experience. The acer also feels cheap and is full of pre loaded apps. I bought the Acer only to return it because of the glitchy or defective WiFi and other things I mentioned.
Of course you could spend a lot more and have a super experience but I just can't justify $500 or more on a tablet. My computer costs about that much.
The Cube seems really well made. The updates after 2 years since it's release from a no name company is impressive as some of the brands I have had above barely udate their tablets. I still think Cube should release Lollipop but KitKat works well.
This tablet has the 1.7 GHz octa core processor, 2 gigs of ram, retina screen, 3g, 16 gig ROM, stereo speakers at the bottom of the tablet, 10,000 mah battery. Pretty impressive specs even for an older device. The limitations of the of the device are the 32 bit a7 cores used are better for power efficiency than performance. The newer mediatek 8151 which has the newer cortex 64 bit a53 cores perform much better while still being rather power efficient. For example the Acer with only 1gb or ram scored over 37,000 points on Anutu while the talk 9x with double the ram scored only 28,000 points roughly. Acer did a very good job of optimizing the ROM on their tablet. The Cube T9 has the newer octa core processor but it was over my price range.
However this tablet stock unrooted performs really well. There was not a lot of junk apps installed and most apps give you an option to install to SD card. Really the only drawback to this tablet is the partitioning. Seems like a common practice on the tablets from China. Not sure why. A horrible practice. You can root the device and try to repartition it but you could also brick the device in the process. The mediatek tools at not the easiest for me to use so I am not going to go there. Specially when the tablet runs great .
So I highly recommend this tablet with a couple of caveats. It is at the end of its life so it is really cheap but if you think it will be updated to Marshmallow or N you can forget it. Lollipop could happn but I would not hold my breath. The 2 gig app limit really sucks and there is no easy way to solve the problem.
So if you are looking for an amazing device for a good price I do not know of a better deal anywhere. Is the Octacore hype. Personally I don't think so. Sure there is marketing hype but the Octacore really feels snappy while the huge battery makes it last!
There are not a lot of these devices left. Seems Cube is now focused on dual boot tablets with Intel processors. I wish they would come out with a new octacore processor android tablet like the Nvidia x1 or the newer cortex a53 octa core from mediated. The t9 if you can find it would perform even better but the build quality and aluminum frame just really make this an enjoyable experience. If you want one I would act now.
Thanks for the first details of the tablet. Have you had a chance to test battery life yet?
I haven't let it run down yet. The lowest I got was to 79%. The charger and cable that come with the device are pretty much useless. Using a Lenovo 2amp tablet charger seems to charge pretty quickly. It does not have fast charge but so far it seems to charge up pretty fast and last pretty long. I will try and see if I can run down the battery to give a better approximation of the run time.
