Just random hardware stuff (not related to MobileSheets). The battery seems to be disconnected internally so ChromeOS thinks it's only a plugged-in device, the lower half of the screen is cracked (everything still works), the stylus has non-rechargeable, non-standard batteries that have to be replaced every few months, and the stylus tip is worn and not very accurate, and it's harder to find replacements for everything since the hardware is deprecated. Also, I have a Disklavier and the Android app running through ChromeOS can't detect the piano's IP.
I'm just keeping "eventual upgrade" in mind, and for $400-700 I'm certainly not going to buy another Slate. If it's possible to find a cheapish 2-3 generation-old iPad Pro that I can run tethered, there seems to be nothing better. I'm not going to use it for anything other than running MobileSheets, so I don't expect to switch ecosystems.
I have a Samsung Tab S8 Ultra that I use now for a tablet, but it's so wide that in reality it's not much larger than the Slate in portrait mode. The iPad's squarish shape allows for larger rendering of most of my sheet music.
