@qubitstech I'm picking up a used Lenovo Y700 2023. I recently discovered these are probably the best small android tablet one can buy in the current year. The other tablet I was considering was the Samsung Active Tab5 - which has a 120hz display, swappable battery, headphone jack and even takes regular phone calls....but it's looks and specs are rather outdated. I hold out hope for more options coming out over the next few years....
I even like it better than the Nexus 7 2013. Better build quality and just as good a screen. I do like the screen separator. Whatever you use to separate the screen, you have to be careful NOT to get it between the screen and digitizer. You got lucky that the ZIF connector still works after yanking out the cable. Mine works much better with a new battery.
Yeah the screen is still amazing even today. I was worried about damaging the screen/digitizer, really just have to make sure not to go too far. The separators are amazing, they're flexible but deceptively sharp (as my fingers quickly discovered), wish I'd found them sooner. I'm probably a bit rough these days with connectors, but in my experience they hold up well. If need be, I could always replace it. I'd be interested to hear where you got your battery, I'm always weary of aftermarket replacements.
The tab looks sleek and lightweight. I used only one Sony phone and it was amazing to back in 2013. Always wanted to buy another but the company left the market from my region.
Honestly just commenting because I love the old Sony Z tablet. I wish they still produced this size of tablet. :(
Yeah same, I looked into replacing it and nothing this size compares, especially the display quality.

Thanks, appreciate the comment. Check out the XDA forums, I used the upgrade guide over there.

It really is, wish they still made tablets like this.
