The Official "Help me!" Thread

A Surface Pro is a respectable PC, so it will play anything. But they're a bit pricey. Even a regular Surface 3 is a Windows 10 computer. Network the device and copy-paste over sharing. You wouldn't even have to plug it in to transfer files.

Aussie price gouging is a factor for you, but otherwise I don't know why you'd consider an alternative if you're after multimedia compatibility and Surfaces are one of your options.


I had luck with Archos tablets back in the day if you're dead-set on android (their proprietary media apps played anything), but their overall quality is terrible these days. Kindles can't play mkvs with out conversions before uploading, and other android tablets are hit or miss based on their hardware's ability to keep up with something like VLC for Android.
