So after a bit of playing, some food for thought...

 

All the cheap tablets have very limited internal storage, meaning the layouts/roms need to be on a MicroSD and when using MFME5 the access speed of slow storage was very noticeable.. on all devices (Or it was the 2000 roms in the one directory?)

 

Running emulators is always going to be a CPU intensive job, so heat and poor battery times are expected.

 

Display scaling: All my testing was done on W10 - and I tried a 7", 8" and 10" - which all has a "recommended" display scaling level that windows auto set. Changing this setting often made things a little easier to read, but overall things are difficult to see in my opinion.

 

Due to a varying quality of Layouts out there, many of which have been optimised for a landscape display lob in a high res but physically small  screen things are just too damn small with many of the current layouts.

 

Im not sure which device is 'best' - I need to clean up my roms (2000+) as most of the pain was caused by the slow storage...but I doubt I will keep the Hi8 (I borrowed the rest) - so if anyone wants a cheap tablet? :oD
