Help me choose tablet for Neptune apex

[christwendt]

Prime day is here. Wondering if this will work for Neptune apex ap?

Works okay. Some versions end up with only 2 columns instead of 3 for some reason. Easy enough to return if it doesn't work out.

I bought an 8” Fire tablet last year on Prime day for my Apex and I only get 2 columns on the screen. Also, you can’t just download the Fusion app you will have to side load the play store to get the Fusion app. It wasn’t hard to do though.

Can you recommend an easier tablet that has 3 columns and can download Apex straight to it ?

I was reading about the only two columns. Do you know if any that allow 3? Or perhaps one that has google play already in it.

I would assume that a more high end tablet (iPad or Samsung galaxy tab, or really about anything that isn’t a fire tablet) would have the play or App Store already installed. As for having the third column I’m not sure if a larger fire tablet would have it or not.
Honestly if you are like most people and spend a lot of time on your cell phone then having the dedicated display is kinda pointless in my opinion. I mounted my tablet onto my stand and I don’t think I’ve looked at it a single time after the initial install. Although to be fair I stupidly mounted mine low enough that it’s not convenient just to walk by and glance at.

This one is working fine.

I use a fire hd10 now that uses the website.

If you want the fusion app, you need an android tab or iPad.

I searched for a Samsung tablet and went with the A7...works great for me. I'm sure there are a ton of options out there.

Thank you very much. Trying to get ideas of what works.

Thanks so much. Looks very clean setup! Also appreciate you linking me with one that clearly had 3 columns.

You actually bring up a very good point about how often I will use it. I just thought it looked cool but you have me thinking. I also have a button break out box to allow for simple tasks and I use that all the time. May not even use the tablet.. hmm. Good perspective tho. Thanks

Ive used Fire HD without issue but you cant beat the Ipad Air tablet.

It’s not hard to download the fusion app on a fire tablet. You just have to side load the play store. I looked up directions online when I did mine and it wasn’t hard at all to do.

I did it because the tablet was cheap and I also thought it looked cool.

Exactly I did it for the same reason tablet was cheap and it made my control room look that much cooler. I seldom use the tablet to do much of the adjustments, I mostly use the app on my phone or from my office from the web interface.

I have used multiple tablets without any issues just by using the web interface.
