Tablet for treadmill

BEN_UK · 13 Feb 2025 at 21:16

Hi,

I need a tablet for use on a treadmill.

Watching YouTube, Spotify and the usual TV on demand apps.

Screen think minimum 11" and usb-c charging.

Going to go second hand, up to £200 maybe a bit more if I need to.

Just looking for some recommendations and models to look out for.

Thanks Ben

I'd imagine most tablets will do what you are asking - but having said that I'd be wary of going for anything with less than 8GB of RAM - in mu experience they tend to slow down very quickly to the point where they are virtually unusable!

I've been looking for one myself to replace my Huawei Mediapad and have been looking closely at the Samsung A9+ - although be careful because there is a 4GB version!

Thanks for that reply.

Ended up going with a new HONOR Pad 9 for £200

Very happy with it 12.1 inch screen.

Does everything I need it to do.

Speakers are loud aswell.

Can I ask how you are going on with your new tablet? Any pro's and con's would be appreciated!

Also, how do you find the weight, is it overly heavy??

Got £200 it's great can't fault it.

Screen decent, sound is loud and clear. Fast enough for the apps we use. YouTube and on demand TV apps. WiFi connection fast and stable.

Not used it for gaming so can't comment on that.

Battery charges slower than expecting that's about the only negative I can come up with. Seems to last well when it is charged though.
