Tablets that work for SBR Poker?

Nothing like a $700 dollar angry birds player

Ipad blows....Get something that will allow flash. Without flash the internet is shit. IPAD is shit they just send u to Itunes and expect u to buy 300 worth of apps. You can always hack it but stick to something with flash is my suggestion.

As far as I know, SBR only really supports windows. Therefore your only real option with tablets is getting an RDP client for your tablet and remote to a Windows PC that you have SBR Poker installed on.

Similarly, I know Citrix has some solutions but it is essentially the same thing I stated above.

Cheers.

Hey Guys,
wondering if anyone knows any tablets that work for SBR poker. I've been contemplating buying one for a while now but my oldest little girl convinced me when I asked her what she wants to get daddy for fathers day. "Ipad, You should buy an ipad daddy so I can play angry birds".

Now I don't want an Ipad LOL but I'm open to suggestions. Also it should be noted that she's 6 and already controls my andriod phone playing you guessed it Angry birds. I know I've failed as a dad somehow because of that.

Or is it just a natural instinct inherent in all females to control cell phones?

None of those. I have a Lenovo S10-3t which is a Microsoft-based netbook with a full touchscreen and a keyboard. If you want to play SBR poker, you need something Windows based.

I always liked viewsonic so I might just give that a try. I hate netbooks such a waste of money. I was considering a chromebook but I hate this "In the cloud" crap.

all android phones and pads will run logmein by downloading through app store.. or for free with applanet.net as soon as the site servers go back up... make a logmein acct.. put it on ur home computer (leave the comp on) and play sbr poker every day u want and also have ur entire computer(s) available through logmein anywhere and everywhere

enjoy. i do this daily

I was thinking about doing this when I go away on vacation but I really don't want to leave my computer on that whole time.

eberetta1 · 06-14-11, 11:55 PM

I like to leave my computer on at night for more than 2 weeks at a time. It automatically goes into sleep mode, so the screen goes blank. Or instead of clicking shutdown, I click sleep. I hate waiting for my comps to power on. Also, if it breaks down so what, I don't mind a new $700 comp every 2 to 3 years.
New software just keeps getting huger and huger, it is nice to have the more recent comp than one 10 years old.

Thank you stash, More than good advice.

Dell has a PC that converts from laptop to tablet that might be of interest

I don't have any experience with it, but seems to be more flexible than just a tablet.

borednaz · 06-15-11, 12:55 PM

Solid suggestion Roadtrip. But I'm through using a pc. I don't play games on it (Haven't for like 6 years), I don't use it for work. The only purpose we use pc's for anymore is the Web to get info or for me to screw around on SBR. Basically a tablet would afford us the ability to store what we use daily with smaller space/weight requirements.

Hooo this is the shit! How did I not know about this?

I am pretty sure the android tablet won't work. I have a Motorola Xoom and it won't.

tad0matic · 06-16-11, 06:18 PM

iPad won't work, until they release their own proprietary poker software that ONLY apples can run.
booo apple...
