I think Android is the problem but the tablet is one
built to the obstructive law that forbade OS replacement in
tablets but not cell phones. Otherwise Debian or Ubuntu
would be on it.
It is a Asus Transformer Pad 700 and I could have
bought a lot of anime and or manga for what I paid for it a
few years ago. But there is no way to test what sort of
performance you will see until you try our a specific
tool/OS/hardware in a field where there is lot of hiding
of various factors. The next time I spend that money
for an even better notebook faster cpus and with more
memory especially dedicated graphics memory.
Some of the current tablets are much better in
cpu speed, operating bandwidth specification and in
price and they might do the trick. Some phone/tablets
can handle games and anime I know but maybe it is a
less encoded sort of format that the system can
un-spool faster.
Meantime I have been spending more time making
sure bootable disks and flash drives boot on the machine
I haul along to the LUG meetings than get to spend
watching Anime.
