#1 Post by Michael AU »

Is there a performance advantage/disadvantage between the FZ A1 A2 A3?

I'm looking to by an Android tablet for tuning my cars using ALDL Droid and want a machine with GPS and the best performance/$.

A1 is a total POS at this point
A2 is also slow and old
A3 I have in my position seems to work fairly well but doesn't hold a stick to the modern Samsung tablets out there for higher end work with DJI drones.

Rob sure is right about the ''A1 is a total POS" . I was using it as a E-reader and that was pushing it to the limits

Have you ever seen the android X86 project? May be able to put a version that works for you on a windows laptop or tablet. I use to mess around with it years ago. I know it has been updated but haven't used it lately.

I have but back when I was using it it was quite buggy. I have a couple of weeks holiday from this Saturday so I might take a look at it again. Thanks for reminding me of it.
