# Android Tablet Computing Setup
*Entered: in vim on onn tablet* |

I have been creating a new experimental computing setup during this
vacation. The components are:
1. [Onn Tablet 8" Pro][1]
2. [Arteck Portable Mini Foldable Wireless Keyboard][2]
3. [Top-Up Phone and Tablet Stand][3]
4. [Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse][4]
5. [Sinstar USB C OTG Adapter, 2 in 1 USB-C Splitter][5]
6. [Water Resistant Zipper Document Holder][6]
The tablet I already had for a bit. The mouse I have had for years.
The canvas zipper bag to carry the setup - I own three of these
because it is quality and I find it useful for my travels. The OTG
adapter is a splitter that allows charging the tablet while also
connecting the mouse dongle.
I am of course running termux on the tablet. Emacs in conjunction
with [Dropsync][7] and my dropbox account keeps my agenda synced
to all devices, I use [orgzly][8] on my android phone. Other software
includes mpd running in termux and an android [mpd client][9] for
music. [mpv][10] for video (I have several movies loaded on an SD
card). [DOSBox][11] for Doom I/II and [Quadtouch][12] for Quake I/II
(legit the only video games I have ever gotten into). [AntennaPod][13]
for podcasts and [KurobaEx][14] for image boards. That's about it.
The screen is large for video, and nice for termux. The performance
is not bad for the items I am running. The price for everything is
less than $150, however, in the future the tablet is the only item
that likely needs repurchasing. Even that seems like a distant in
time thing. The keyboard is not cramped, and has a metal chassis. The
tablet stand is likewise metal and folds flat taking up very little
space. All in all I am so far pleased with this setup.
