If Win8 tablets play all PC games and run PC apps, what is the point of Vita ?

[QUOTE="Malta_1980"]

personally i see it this way

Android Phones (iphone etc) = Cellphones (calls, texting)

Tablets = On the go 'office' work duties

3DS / PSV - gaming on the go..

good_sk8er7

Not to mention that win8 tablet will cost around 700-900 dollars. With that amount of money i can go on vacation and still enjoy the benefits of the tablet with lesser expensive things that i can buy with that same amount of money i'll go on vacation with.

Win8 tablet will cost around 490 to 900 dollars USD. There's already Acer Iconia W500 with Win8 demo. AMD plans to replace Z-01 with Win8's release.

Gaming on a Windows 8 tablet will be a step forward but gamers will always want a dedicated device with buttons. Nonstop-Madness

What is this??? LoosingENDS just made a nice thread about PC gaming???

To answer your question, it is the same reason why I keep my Wii and PS3 around. They have exclusives that are decent.

Exclusives, front and back touch screen. Most importantly, not friggin' big and has actual controls?

Windows is a sad joke. If the new 360 dashboard is anything to go by, I'm jumping ship and getting a Mac again.SolidSnake35

I see this hasn't been posted

[QUOTE="Human-after-all"]You can already game on a win 7 tablettenaka2

In win8 tablets you can have a full desktop version of the OS though and all apps compatibility

It will be like a mobile PC really

a mobile PC you say! revolutionary! I bet no one has ever thought about making a PC that is convenient to move around.

The wonders and genius of our age come shining through.

Samsung Series 7 slate tablet has Intel Core i5 Processor 2467M (ULV).

Both Intel and AMD will have new CGPU ULV products some time in Q2 2012.

I'll assume you're saying that it will play certain games. Naturally, price is going to be an issue. Especially when comparing to the Vita, which TC is doing.

Intel doesn't have direct competition in ULV "fat" CGPU segment.

This will change with the arrival of AMD Trinity ULV. AMD plans to displaced Bobcat based APU with Trinity ULV APU.

Samsung managed to fit a 17 watt SB ULV into 11inch tablet. Notice why AMD aimed for "17 watts" marketing instead of E-350/E-450's "18 watts" i.e. AMD attempting to recycle Intel's work on Ultrabook case designs. Let Intel do the heavy logistics infrastructure work.

AMD (and ODM/OEM partners) can replace 18 watt Bobcat based E-450 APU netbooks with Trinity ULV APU and add a touch screen i.e. low cost tablet convertible for Win8 that can play modern PC games at Xbox 360 levels.

Most AMD bobcat based netbook case designs was recycled from Intel Atom designs i.e. again, let Intel do the heavy logistics infrastructure work.

AMD's sub $500 Trinity ULVs are just recycled E-350/E-450 APU netbooks shells. Premium ULV notebooks would be Mac-Air clones i.e. better case materials.

[QUOTE="ronvalencia"]

[QUOTE="PC_Otter"] Bobcat doesn't have a real successor yet, and you can't just replace a 6W part with a 17W one unless AMD has a Trinity related product on the way to replace Bobcat with. Bobcat still has room to grow by shrinking to 28 nm. PC_Otter

My tablet is a hybrid/convertibles/transformer type i.e. it comes with detachable keyboard+pointer+usb dock+ethernet port device. This is within Apple iPad 2's prices.

The cooling solution in W500 is primitive i.e. AMD designed a better cooling solution for ODMs. It follows the air gap cooling method. Watch for an update on this front.

Plus: analog stick > touch screen

Win8 Tablets are going to have a hard time taking off in an industry dominated by Apple that also has a lot of Android support.

The real question is, will anyone buy a Win8 tablet?

I don't for the life of me know why I'm replying to a loosingENDS thread but the answer is simple my friends...

BUTTONS. Forget tablets man

R4gn4r0k

If they allow you to sync or pair up a 360 controller to those tablets, wow that will be awesome. bonesawisready5

The exclusive games.

lundy86_4

LOL

Good luck playing all those PC games that are relevant here on SW on a tablet. :roll:

to play vita games and its smaller. Also the controls. I dont wanna play a tablet on the train.

Vita has better controls than a touch screen only device.

loosingENDS

These tablets will support any control method, keyboard/mouse/360 pad etc

Via the dock station, i have already seen a video with keyboard

It's not called handheld gaming for nothing.

Tablets are bigger comapard to vita.

hello there you must be new to loosingends threads.

[QUOTE="-ArchAngeL-777-"]Just go try out a Vita and your questions will be answered. It has all the games, graphics, fun, and controls all in one little package that does actually fit in your pocket. A tight fit, but fits none the less. I mean, if your Windows 8 tablet needs other accessories to actually be competitive, which it does, why not just skip it and get a laptop with gaming capability? If it needs a dock or any other accessories, it's now been pushed out of the portable/mobile device argument.loosingENDS

What do you mean has all the games ?

There are zero games i want from Vita right now or coming

While PC has like 100+ games i would like to have mobile

How will you fit a tablet, xbox 360 controller and bunch of cables into your pocket ? See i can pull out my Vita at work or school and look normal playing my games, while if i pulled out a tablet put that somewhere where i can see the screen since i wont be able to hold it and take out a controller to start playing a game i will look retarted and it will be really uncofortable.

if you want a mobile pc, why not just get a laptop?

What do you think ?

tenaka2

I think you are an idiot.

Lmao this has to be the most retarded thread I've seen in a very long time!

Tell me OP what do you think is more comfortable to play ON THE GO, like in a train, bus or a plane?

vs

You wouldn't even be able to place all the crap in most cases (how are you going to use the mouse while riding the bus?) a Laptop will be a hell lot more comfortable.. this whole thread is a waste of space and a pathetic attempt to make the VITA look bad.. Please make sure you take a picture of yourself playing the witcher 2 on your win8 tablet in a crowded bus. I bet if MS would announce a portable console tomorrow you would change your mind again..

I think the biggest problem Vita faces is Windows 8 tablets that will soon be able to play nearly all PC games in a far bigger screen and with various input methods choices

And will run full PC apps too as it seems, making them the absolute handheld gaming and workstation system

What do you think ?

loosingENDS

Is losingENDS actually praising PC gaming? Did I wake up in a alternate universe?

He's not really. He's the type of person that will try to win any argument, even if he contradicts what he says later or before.
