Thought I would make a post whilst I was on here about how great gaming tablets are.
I have a GPD and a spare, which is a JXD. Apparently the GPD was favourably compared to a similar Samsung in the speed dept. at the time. I had a Tuvva Power Play 7 and that was nice and lightweight compared to these two.
But the built in buttons make retro gaming a cinch, and up to SNES works fine and plays some N64 games. Some come with links installed to download games. Or just fill up an SD with thousands of them. As good as a normal tab but a little bulkier.
But you tend to have to look to the Far East for the right product, though eBay carry some. Be careful with non-integral buttons/controller. No attachments needed - you need it all in one. Amazon have nice and cheap handhelds for gaming, and they are fine too, but if you want a proper tablet it's about £100 for what you need with hardwired gaming capabilities built in.
I'm surprised more people don't own a gaming tablet but that's down to lack of availability of decent ones in the UK to some extent, I suppose. But anyone thinking of getting a new 7" tablet who also likes gaming should defintely have a look to see if a gaming tablet would be better. I've had four so far and and can't see me never having one.
