What would you use this wild 32-inch Android tablet on wheels for?

Android is on a lot of different things, but even after a decade of covering the platform, I’m still surprised by some of the things that roll across my desk. Or, I guess in this case, across my home, as I’ve lately been trying out what is basically a 32-inch Android tablet on wheels. My question to you – what would you use it for?

The “MegPad” from KTC is, as described, essentially a 32-inch Android tablet on a pedestal and wheels. The 4K display has a touchscreen, built-in speakers, and can rotate between horizontal and vertical orientations. The display itself has an anti-reflective matte coating and is very sharp given its resolution and size. Even up close, it looks really crisp.

But the thing that makes this display different is that, when you turn it on, it’s just an Android tablet. You’ll unlock to a traditional launcher and can install any app you want. It has the full Play Store and runs Android 13 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The chipset isn’t anything impressive with a Rockchip RK3588, but I was pretty surprised at how snappy the entire experience feels. That’s probably thanks in part to the very clean, “stock” build of Android. It feels like using a bare-bones Pixel. I do wish it was on a more up-to-date version, though. Android 13 is well out of date at this point, and the December 2024 security patch is not particularly comforting from a security standpoint.

Besides just installing apps and using this display as a giant tablet, you can also plug in any HDMI device, or use a wireless mouse to control the experience in lieu of the touchscreen. You can also mirror your screen from another device.

As mentioned, the entire thing is on wheels. The base is hefty and contains, among other things, the 9,500 mAh battery that can run the display for a few hours. The construction is sturdy too. Assembly only took about 10 minutes (all tools included) and it all feels rock solid. The wheels aren’t very big, so thresholds or rugs along the floor might require you to pick the whole thing up.

My continued question while using this machine, though, is what you should use it for.

Over the past few weeks of having this in my office, my main use case was just using this as a more flexible TV. Installing the Disney+ app meant I could stream Bob’s Burgers while cleaning up my office or doing other tasks, or I could just install YouTube and bring it wherever I wanted that entertainment. It’s also kind of an ideal way to use Android 16’s new desktop mode, as you just need an HDMI cable and USB-C adapter to get things going. That’s faster than a lot of other devices, like a Nintendo Switch or Google TV dongle for example, which require a lot more power than the onboard USB port can provide.

I can envision a lot of other uses, though. The battery and mobility would make it handy for small businesses at events. It could also be useful for kids at home to play certain types of games together. The obvious place to use it, though, is in education or homeschooling. The use cases there seem endless, as it could be used for presentations and drawing or a million other things.

Looks genuinely interesting. I just have to wonder why even in this day and age so many things have so many outdated versions of Android. Last I checked several years ago, Google was promising every year to make the situation better. Have they just stopped promising?

This is pretty cool but I can't help but think how the software is holding it back.

With good performance, a sharp display, and versatile hardware, I think there are a lot of ways to use the “MegPad” that I’d never think of. That’s why I want to open the door to you. Let’s discuss in the comments below. How would you use a product like this?

The KTC “MegPad” is available for $799 (give or take) on Amazon. It’s certainly pricey, but a comparable 27-inch, 1080p option from LG (which is literally just a touchscreen monitor, no Android on-board) costs just shy of $1,000. So, if this is a product you’re looking for, it’s a good value. KTC also has a smaller 27-inch model (which runs Android 14!) that’s often available for a lower price.
