Anyone know anything about it?

I have an Android Samsung Galaxy tablet. So what would be the difference between what I have and this Aristotle computer?

Hi all,

I got one ...
You can read some details here

One and a half year later, here are some updates :
- the battery is now exhausted. I cannot use the tablet unplugged to power.
- I installed some chess apps in addition (among which Aart Bik's Chess for Android, Droidfish from P. Osterlund of course...)
- I upgraded the engines used with Analyze This (a great app!) with Stockfish 6 and Komodo 8
- I discovered my Aristotle tablet was root-enabled, and this revealed very useful to be able to setup some parameters with xboard engines - also necessary to link Komodo 8 engine to Analyze This. Unix skills required (basic ones) and a terminal emulator app.
- The Aristotle itself is now offered with a 4 cores CPU (but be aware some apps do not use more than one, such as Chess Genius I guess)
- Now I feel comfortable with an Android tablet and any other one would fit my use ... but the day I ordered the Aristotle I never used one, and was very pleased to receive it with chess software ready to use. Sort of starter kit ...
