LAVIE T11シリーズ「T1195/BAS」

　Driven by the momentum of Chromebook, the sense of existence of Android tablets is gradually weakening. However, in March, NEC personal computers launched the LAVIE T11 series of local Android tablets called "T1195/BAS" (hereinafter referred to as T1195).

　While extolling Android app support, Android tablets are closer to smartphones and have a wider range of applications for many apps that don't actually work. Personally, the increase in the lineup of the Android tablet is gratifying, but how does the T1195 work?

11.5 large screen, high resolution, game-oriented chipset

　T11 series tablet computers, in addition to the T1175 and so on, T1195 as its upper model, is a display, chipset, memory capacity and other parts of the upgrade model. The initial operating system is Android 10.

　5.8 mm, about 485g thin, lightweight but sturdy metal shell, display is 11.5 type organic EL. The resolution is 2560 × 1600 points and the aspect ratio is 16:10. The chipset is a combination of 2.2 GHz eight-core CPUs and Adreno618GPU-mid-range Snapdragon730G.

　Snapdragon730G is the same as the graphics performance of 730s and other enhanced SKU, but also suitable for the game chipset. The memory has a large capacity of 6 GB and stores 128 GB. MicroSDXC cards with up to 256 GB can enhance external storage, so you don't seem to have to worry too much about shooting photos and videos.

　Wireless LAN is Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE802.11ac) and does not support Wi-Fi 6 and WAN. Considering that the specification of the chipset is not impossible, is this a bit of a pity for users who want to carry it with them?

　Even so, the battery life of the 8400mAh capacity is about 15.6 hours (when reading in Web). In fact, the running time for continuous playback of the animation is about 12 hours and 55 minutes at a brightness of 50%, so that both work and games can be carried and not recharged throughout the day.

Four cameras that support facial authentication, as well as high quality JBL sound

　The camera is equipped with two on the back camera and two on the front camera. The back camera is something with a wide angle (about 5 million pixels) and a standard viewing angle (about 13 million pixels), and the front camera is about 8 million pixels for photography and face certification with IR cameras.

　Let's check the picture quality of the rear camera. As can be seen from the samples below, the camera with a standard viewing angle has compact and warm colors. On the other hand, although the wide-angle camera does expand the field of view, it does not have fineness, and even the color will have a slightly bluish unnatural feeling.

　If it's a standard-viewing camera, it seems to work, but wide-angle also gives the impression of a narrow dynamic range, and it's best not to expect the same picture quality as the latest smartphone.

　Web meetings have also been tried in Zoom. Although the resolution of the front camera is not very high, the sound quality of the built-in microphone is good, and even if you tap the optional keyboard described later, it will not produce unpleasant noise. Zoom may automatically suppress noise, but if you can chat and Web meetings, it should be no problem with the picture quality and sound quality.

　In order to unlock the terminal, in addition to the facial authentication of the front camera, a fingerprint sensor integrated with the power button is also installed. As an Android tablet, security can be said to be quite abundant equipment. For those looking for tablets suitable for commercial use, this level of security may be one of the key points.

　Another hardware difference from the underlying model is that the built-in stereo speakers are made by JBL. Corresponding to Dolby ATMOS, to improve the realism of sound, but also includes automatic adjustment to the best sound quality of the content being played, clear playback of video and music distribution service sound.

　When the Dolby ATMOS is turned off, it gives people a sound suitable for the alarm. In short, it is for the purpose of "audible" sound, like playing music, the sound image is not clear. However, when opened, although there is a clear positioning, transparent sound is a thin shell, but it is still loud.

　Bass has some deficiencies in the movie, but in this case, I want to use headphones and headphones. However, since there is no headset terminal, be prepared to use Bluetooth or a conversion adapter that outputs sound from the USB Type-C port, and so on.

"Product mode", which allows multitasking similar to laptops

　The most noteworthy feature in T1195 is the "product model". In a word, this is "a stand-alone feature like PC that makes multiwindowing possible" and can display multiple applications at the same time, making multitasking tasks easier.

　The application displays separate windows that can be moved and resized (or maximized or minimized) freely. There are also features, such as Windows10 snapshots that are automatically aligned when near the edge of the screen.

　Applications that optimize tablets, such as Office applications, Web browsers, and messaging applications, seem to correspond roughly. Some incompatible applications also display windows and can resize manually (but the layout of the application screen may not be the best display).

　When the optional special cover keyboard "PC-T1195BAS keyboard" and other hardware keyboards are used together, the available mode of the product is the most effective.

　For example, a parallel task such as typing text in the other half of the picture while displaying the Web page as a reference can be almost as convenient as PC.

　When a hardware keyboard is connected, the screen is not occupied by a software keyboard, so multiple windows may appear to show the literal product (productivity).

　Product mode can be used even without a hardware keyboard, but when turned on, the horizontal screen is fixed, and when entering characters, the software keyboard occupies half or more of the screen, which will not be easy to use.

　The thin, compact special keyboard is bonded with magnets and is easy to disassemble and assemble. It is grouped with a separate cover bracket on the back side, where the angle of the display (main body) can be adjusted steplessly. Although the firmness of the body can be well protected, the increase in thickness is kept to a minimum and has no effect on the ease of carrying.

　The key type of feeling, the repulsive force is very strong, the feeling is stronger than imagined. The type tone of the text key is very mute, and as mentioned earlier, even typing in a Web meeting doesn't seem to produce such an unpleasant sound.

　However, only the Enter key is easy to have a slight impact, and the layout of the symbol keys around it is a bit clogged, requires getting used to, has no functional keys and FN keys, and is confused when typing text, which may be a bottleneck. The design that is integrated with the ontology is very attractive, but if you want to make long text comfortable, using other Bluetooth keyboards is also an option.

　In addition, an optional passive digital input pen is prepared. Although some delays are felt when moving fast, the response to handwriting on whiteboard applications such as whiteboard applications is fully permissible. Although it feels different from the writing of paper, it is impeccable as easy to use.

　When used with a stepless adjustment of the lid bracket, it can also maintain a slightly angled handwriting state, so it will be very active when drawing slowly.

3D games are also running smoothly. Large screen, high sound quality, immersive MAX

　SoC is also a game-oriented Snapdragon730G, and games with rich graphics can also be played comfortably. Try to play 3D graphics online RPG "original God" and rhythm game "project Saikai" and so on, there is nothing to feel lagging behind or taking the bait.

　Moreover, because it is a big picture of type 11.5, it has a high degree of satisfaction in graphics. Because both are games with high sound quality, you can feel the power of JBL speakers when Dolby ATMOS is enabled.

　Depending on the size of the hand, some people may think that the 11.5 model is not suitable for rhythm games, but for the author with a larger hand, this is the best size that maximizes immersion and runs the game smoothly.

　However, considering that the weight of about 485g is 11.5, although it belongs to the category of light weight, the sense of weight when maintained in the same posture is quite equal. If you play for a long time, you will be very comfortable standing in the grandstand. In this sense, I also want to make full use of the optional cover bracket.

If it is for practical use, you also want to consider combining other keyboards.

　In this comment on T1195, I tried to write this article in Microsoft Word on T1195. In the case of not switching tasks, the product mode in which the manuscripts and materials can be arranged in one screen at the same time, just like PC, the operation efficiency is greatly improved. However, especially in the convenience of keyboard use, I sometimes feel that it is difficult to rely on habits alone.

　It also means that as long as you replace the keyboard with something you like, you can use it without any problems in your daily business use. Although the work of using media files often is of course heavy, it should be easy to do such a transactional task as editing Office documents. After work, you can always enjoy the videos and e-books you see on your smartphone on the 11.5 screen.

　Only Android tablets can take full advantage of the portability of ordinary laptops and Chromebook, seamlessly covering business and personal life. Following this, we only hope that other manufacturers will continue to have practical and interesting Android tablets.
