I’m currently awaiting the Chuwi Hi13. Took me some time searching online about laptops/tablets/hybrids.
I’ve observed that dropping my dual boot preference opens me up for faster devices with faster processors. It’s gotten me thinking if it might be better to go for a core M tablet and then just use an Android emulator with it. I’ve never used an emulator for Android before. Is the experience slow?
Opting for emulators might be better because one wouldn’t have to deal with file partitions for the separate OS’s.
I also found this tempting deal online: https://www.productchart.com/tablets/11978 – a refurbished core i5 for $300 that may be able to run an android emulator well
Using emulators may also give the clear advantage of seamlessness of minimizing/multitasking instead of separate booting.
February 12, 2017 at 7:30 pm #62105I didn’t test Android emulator on my tablet yet but I use with no problems with my laptop also Windows 10, I need Android for work, I tested some and only Memu goes well with my work stuff.
You really found a great deal! It will run an Android emulator well, my laptop is just a little better than it.
February 13, 2017 at 3:25 am #62114Any disadvantages of using Memu compared to full android? I’ve heard all emulators cannot use non-fake gps function.
February 13, 2017 at 3:28 am #62115I wanna play real pokemon go emulated on a windows 10 tablet without any gps spoofing.
February 13, 2017 at 8:12 am #62126Emulators can use fake GPS, I don’t recommend depending what you are doing.
AFAIK Memu can run Pokemon Go, I didn’t test myself because I prefer to play with my phone, my tablet is WiFi only, we don’t have too much public WiFi spots here, I need the mobile connection.
February 13, 2017 at 12:51 pm #62148I’ll stick with dual boot then. I can’t play thru my phone ‘coz I lost it. Thanks for you advice! 😀
February 13, 2017 at 2:08 pm #62150No problem! If you can get a Pokémon Go Plus as well I recommend, you can capture Pokémons and use Pokéstops without pulling your device.
August 12, 2025 at 9:24 pm #244133Glad to hear Memu works well for your setup! With yuzu discontinued in 2024, many are looking for yuzu alternatives 2025 like Ryujinx and Suyu to keep enjoying Nintendo Switch games on various devices. It’s great to find reliable emulators that fit your needs, whether for work or gaming.

An emulator, such as Bluestacks or Android Studio’s built-in emulator inat box v13 apk, runs Android within your existing operating system, making it easy to switch between Android and Windows or macOS without restarting your computer.
August 25, 2025 at 3:13 pm #244672Si estás dudando entre usar un emulador de Android o hacer un dual boot con Android, todo depende de tus necesidades. Un emulador es más sencillo y rápido de configurar, ideal si solo quieres probar apps o juegos sin modificar tu sistema. En cambio, el dual boot te permite instalar Android directamente en tu PC, ofreciendo un mejor rendimiento y una experiencia más real, pero requiere más conocimientos técnicos y puede ser arriesgado si no se hace bien. Si quieres elegir la mejor opción según tu uso y descubrir más consejos Android, te recomiendo informarte bien antes de decidir.
