How good is this tablet?

[Hudsoner]

Does anybody have any experience with this tablet?

I want to buy a new tablet to run CoPilot on and display information of the OBDII dongle. I don't need to do any internet surfing or gaming etc. with it. Any suggestion whether this thing is suitable for my needs?

this was 'M' marshmallow

i think the next one is 'N' nougat

Well, since the last update was Marshmallow, I think the next update will be S'mores.

Hmmmm perhaps Hotdog 7.0 will have the feature!

LOL

Not available on this 10" RCA Viking Pro, Marshmallow 6.0
Went thru all the options
Including developer options drawing section
Multiple Windows not an option
I really don't need it, but the OP should be looking for that option in order to display both of his apps in real time at the same time

And the apps have to support split screen too I believe, so the usage could be pretty limited.

My current Samsung Galaxy S6 allows split screens! It has Android 6, but I did split screens even prior to update to 6, it started out with some version of 5

This tablet is marshmallow 6.0
If it has split screen, it is hidden I haven found it
I will do some Android searches and check on that

[fj12ryder]

I believe the Android update, Marshmallow I think, allows split screen on tablets, not the phone though.

[MrWizard]

You want to run two apps, copilot and engine monitor

I have not yet seen an Android tablet that will display multiple Windows at the same time

I'm on my 3rd Android tablet , and I've lost count of how many Android phones, I have had
I love Android ... But it is not Windows,
There was a phone once that had split screen capability, it was not on Verizon I did not get one, I have never seen another one on Android

Thanks for the advise. However, the only one I can find is this for $70.99 Refurbished Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite 7.0" 8GB
I can't find any indication in the description that it is able to do GPS and Bluetooth, and it has only 8GB of memory, which means, I would have to by a card to expand this (which would raise the price)

To follow up on my question. How about Acer tablets? I have an Acer desktop computer and am pretty happy with this.

I see now that refurbished Acer tablets can be had from Newegg for really good money. What do you think about this?

Take your software or description in to BB and ask. They will usually tell you the way to go. I bought a Samsung for the DW, the staff said it was great for her use, it is. Other times, usually with cash in hand, I've asked and gotten great answers, including that X's store product is better for the price. We have a lot of Insignia products at home and in the Winnie.

Lots of problems with LG and Visio but not with Insignia products.
