I'm running grapheneos on my pixel tablet. My biggest complaint is that the screen is only 60Hz, makes the whole thing feel more sluggish than my phone. Otherwise it's a fine tablet.
Remember, 60Hz feeling slow is simply something that is used to sell you more expensive stuff you don't need. 60Hz is perfectly fine. If I can game at 60Hz anybody can use a daily driver tablet at 60Hz.
60Hz feeling a lot more sluggish than a high refresh rate display is a fact, not just marketing. There are diminishing returns after 120Hz, but the jump from 60Hz is immense and very noticeable.
Guys I feel like you're missing my point here...
My point is that you don't NEED more for just a tablet. I'm not saying there isnt any difference..
Plus, running lower refresh rates improves battery life by quite a bit.
I can use the tablet just fine, I did say it's a fine tablet overall. It just feels worse to use than my phone with a 144Hz display, and it feels like an odd choice when most phones have >60Hz displays.
