Will see how it turns out.


Nice

That has the Z8350 which is the same as my Fusion5 tablet and also this:

Rock Pi X

I am a bit intrigued by this stuff since I recently, for giggles, installed some of my amp sims on my tablet to see what would happen.
According to the software's recommended minimum spec, I have nowhere near enough horsepower but it works beautifully and well within my comfort zone of less than 50% CPU load.

I use Gig Performer  as a host for VST plugins and Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 5, along with synths, drum machines etc.
When actually playing guitar through it, I am able to achieve a low-enough round-trip latency that doesn't bother me at all and I play fast-ish solos. All this capability in a cheap tablet is pretty darned impressive and now I want to build a more rugged alternative.
