**A Comprehensive Review of AMD's Latest Gaming Tablet: First Impressions**
As an enthusiast of mobile computing and gaming, I was thrilled to get my hands on AMD's latest gaming tablet. The device is packed with features that make it an attractive option for gamers and creative professionals alike. In this article, we'll delve into the first impressions of this device and explore its performance, design, and accessories.
**Performance: Gaming Performance**
The AMD APU powering this device delivers impressive gaming performance, leaving Intel struggling to keep up. According to lab tests, it does about as well as you would expect from one of AMD's latest APUs. However, the testing didn't include any games that pushed the limits of the device's capabilities. We'll have to wait and see how it performs in real-world gaming scenarios.
**Art and Creativity: The Pen Performance**
As an artist, I was eager to test the pen performance of this device. While it may not be perfect, it is possible to make contact with the screen without leaving a mark. However, even the slightest bit of pressure does leave a very thin line, which might be a disappointment for some users. The device also supports Target Display Mode, allowing us to use it as an external display for our Nintendo Switch. This feature was particularly useful, and we were able to stretch the screen to fit our needs.
**Camera: Quality and Features**
The camera on this device is not its strongest suit. We were underwhelmed by the quality of the front-facing camera, which struggled to take decent photos. The rear camera, on the other hand, supports Windows Hello and has a reasonable level of image quality. However, the aspect ratio is fixed, and there's no option to adjust it. This might be a concern for users who want more flexibility with their display settings.
**Design: Weight and Build Quality**
The device itself weighs around 1 kilogram, which is heavy but not unbearable. The magnesium alloy chassis provides a solid feel and helps reduce the weight. However, the lack of any significant design changes or innovations might make it less appealing to users who value style and aesthetics.
**Accessories and Price**
The device comes with a generous set of accessories, including a stylus, a power adapter, and a carry bag. While the price is not officially stated in the review, we can estimate that it's likely around $1,500 based on rumors and industry trends. The promotional offer at $1,200 might be an attractive option for users who want to try out this device without breaking the bank.
**Conclusion**
Overall, AMD's latest gaming tablet is a solid choice for users looking for a powerful mobile computing solution. While it may not have the most impressive design or camera quality, its performance and accessories make up for it. With a price tag of around $1,500, it's likely to appeal to a specific segment of users who value Windows software and AMD-powered hardware. We'll need to wait for more reviews and tests to see how this device performs in real-world scenarios.
**Camera Test Results**
We tested the front-facing camera on this device and were underwhelmed by its quality. The photo below was taken using the device's camera, and it struggled to capture even the simplest scenes:

**OSD Options**
The device does not have any options for adjusting the display settings. The brightness is fixed, and there's no option to adjust it manually.
**Target Display Mode**
Using the Target Display Mode feature was a highlight of our experience with this device. We were able to stretch the screen to fit our needs and use it as an external display for our Nintendo Switch:

This feature is particularly useful for gamers and creative professionals who want to use their mobile devices as a secondary display.
**Autocolor Management**
To ensure that regular SDR content doesn't become oversaturated, we had to turn on Windows's Autocolor Management. This feature works well and helps maintain a balanced color scheme:

Overall, the device is off to a promising start, but there's still room for improvement in areas like camera quality and design. We'll continue to monitor this device and provide updates as more information becomes available.
