Gen 1 S10 with 8 inch tablets, appreciated, and the device mentioned by Tabasco also coincidentally an 8 inch model. All reasonably capable and affordable.
An 8 inch display seems to be an appropriate complement for the Gen 1 gauge pod and a reasonable increase over the current 5 inch Duraforce Pro.
Between available 8 inch models, when needs and wants are written down on paper, it's difficult to see how the $700 price difference, low end to high end, is justified for motorbike use.
On the one hand BRIGHTNESS, on the other hand $700 BUCKS. Remember what I said about thrifty? Draw your own conclusion
The common missing feature on a $200 rugged tablet is wireless charging. The simplicity of slap-it-in-place-and-go combined with protection against elements intrusion will be missed.
Once upon a time I became stranded by electronic ignition module failure on a motorbike passing through the very heavy traffic jam at an art festival. I didn't own a cell phone. After exploring the options I asked a passerby to call a number to summon transportation for me and the bike. Yeah sure but dude you should get a cheap burner just for situations like this. My reply in question form was where exactly is the adventure in that? Here I am today complaining about missing wireless charging on a very reliable adventure bike. Times have changed.
A $200 tablet is in my future. It'll do nicely. I'll post pics when installed.
All the best.
