Chas,

That's a bargain. I doubt you could see much of difference in screen size for the application.

I would get one but looks like they are out of pink. mad

They are disposable at that price, and parts are probably made at the same factories as the high end tabs. Your not paying for name and advertising.

Just happened to think. I wonder how easy it will be to find a screen protector for the Pro12? Maybe the Samsung version will fit as is or can be trimmed? Definitely worth having on all devices unless you have Gorilla Glass like I have on my phone.

I got mine for $79 on sale. Downloaded Mobilesheets to see how/if it would work on this tablet....works fine. Display is probably not as good as the $227 tablet but is perfectly readable in this app. 11.5 screen, 32gb, standard and micro USB, HDMI, detachable keyboard, and android 6.0; a lot of 'bang-for-the-buck'.

chas



what is the dimensions of the actual viewing area in inches for height and width? Thanx

When I am looking at such a purchase I load up some PDFs on a thumb drive, head to the local store and see if it works for me.

All questions answered immediately. I was going to purchase a 14" in 2 in 1 before this purchase. Glad I did. It was too slow.

/regards,

Jerryghr

Good idea Jerry, I'd do the same but the 12.2 is bolted down to the counter and the one chas got is not on display.

Interesting to note that previous runs of 13.3" tablets had a width of 7 inches. All the ones that I've seen now are 6.5 inches. That being the case unless I can find a 7 incher the 12.2 would be a better choice with the 6.5 inch width because there is no point in having all that extra real estate. smile

Turns out the RCA Galileo Pro 11.5" actual viewing area is 5.75 inches. My 10.1 Asus is 5 3/8", so not worth it for me for sheet music anyway.

I've found if you ever have a question on a product the customers on Amazon respond quickly. Walmart not.

Jerry,

Great find I just purchased the Pro12 tablet/laptop. I'm very happy with the Mobile Sheets Pro app, just transferred about 2000 tunes/fakebooks I had stored on Google Drive.

Another opinion.

A 12.2" All in one for $227 at WalMart.

I paid $336 at Brandsmart for my Ipad Air 2. That is a $109 difference. At a setting of 60% brightness my aging eyes have no problem reading notes or lyrics. In a horizontal position the notes and lyrics increase in size. And scroll down the screen automatically.

My opinion: I do not want my screen to get any larger. The smaller the screen the more of me and my audience. If I was playing classical music in my home I would use a 24” TV.\ connected to my keyboard.
My motto; K.I.S.S.

John C.
PS, I have a friend who places his Ipad Air 2 flat on the right side of his keyboard so he has full view of who he is playing for. I’m gonna try that.

This is the future for your home setup...



Microsoft Surface Studio, quadcore i7, 32GB, 1TB SSD and a 28" touchscreen.

Add this ton any keyboard at home, it offers not only a music reader, but a high end studio as well...
