Product Information

Moving on, this tablet has the M1 chip that has multi-core performance, and it glides through all tasks.

I agree with @Chris_Holton that mounting a laptop (or tablet) to the handlebars isn’t a great solution. The vibrations produced while cycling make for an inferior visual experience. You need to get all your indoor cycling equipment to link up, and the two channels that cycling fitness technology uses are Bluetooth and ANT+. When considering purchasing a smart trainer, it’s useful to think hard about which features are must-haves and which you can live without. Seen and not heardBike fit and crank length are usually highly adjustable, for example, and many models allow you to customise shifting and even chainring or cassette profiles. Not a biggie. But for some of us, you might not have a dedicated place to set the trainer up. In this case, storage and portability are essential. The latest version of the Surface Pro also includes a USB-C port for charging external devices, which means you can connect it to a laptop with USB-C. Zwift requires at least 4 GB of RAM, but 8+ GB is what gives you a smooth performance. You’ll also need about 4 to 5 GB of free space on your hard drive, depending on your OS, to install and run the app. On the network side, WiFi dropping out or hanging mid-race isn't going to do much for your Zwift experience, so you may need a signal booster or may be limited in how far from your router you can set yourself up.

Organized by WTRL, this is a team-based points competition spread across multiple weeks, with teams organized into divisions based on time zones and ability. Races happen every Tuesday, and the season is broken into three 6-week rounds with short breaks in between.Of course, this means missing out on things such as simulated gradient changes, drafting and ERG mode, but it’s a workable option in a pinch. To begin with, when presenting you with this sleek, professional option, we have to mention that this device can completely replace your laptop. Tablets also allow you to monitor and record your workouts, which is particularly helpful if you plan to compete in championships. There are many benefits of using Tablets for Zwift. Using a tablet for Zwift training is easier since you won’t have to carry a bulky laptop or monitor around with you.

And it has a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. This screen isn’t as sharp as the ones on many other smartphones, but it’s pretty decent for a ten-inch tablet. CPU: Zwift state that you need an Intel® Core™ 2 Duo for the CPU (Core Processing Unit) to be able to run their software. But for a faster and higher performance Zwifting experience, they recommend going for a laptop with an Intel® Core™ i7 or AMD Ryzen™. It is worth noting that the battery on this device handles up to 13 hours of mixed-use, which is pretty good for this price point. It can transmit speed and cadence data to Zwift, which in turn calculates your power output. But you will need a cadence sensor and an ANT+ dongle for your laptop or device. Unlike most Apple Ipads, Samsung makes their tablets expandable through SD cards. You can go for up to 1 TB of extra storage, which makes this specific gadget perfect for everyday media use – movies, music, and more.

Best high-end Zwift setup

There’s little real benefit to large resolutions as the actual textures (i.e. the artwork that’s wrapped arround the 3d object) aren’t “4k”. 720 to 1080 looked better, 1440 looked exactly the same to me. Although wheel-drive trainers work well and are less expensive, you should get a direct-drive trainer which is usually more durable, accurate, powerful and realistic. We hope that you have found the best tablet for Zwift for your own needs and that you now know can you use Zwift on a tablet. This tablet comes with an 11-inch screen and ‎2560 x 1600 resolution. You will get 6GB RAM as well as 128 GB storage space with this tablet. It is equipped with a Qualcomm Octa-Core processor. These hardware specifications make it perfect for running Zwift app. Barely. You can’t get a fast enough performance with it, and everything is laggy. Sometimes, the app even crashes, and you’ve left with your home screen all over again.

As we said, both Mac and Android devices work well with Zwift, but now we’ll talk about the device specifications you need to look for when you want good performance. If you’re able (and willing) to spend even more, you may want to consider a dedicated smart indoor bike. These are simple enough to set up. But the important thing is to get the resistance right. This is so Zwift can match up the speed and cadence and work out your power. Here Zwift has a handy guide for setting up wheel-on trainers without smart capability. Setting up a non-smart trainer on Zwift This laptop is ultra-slim and weighs only 1.70 pounds. With this laptop, you can enjoy 10.5 hours of battery life. It also supports fast charging and can go from 0 to 80% charge in just an hour.

I always zwift with a tablet mounted on a separate, heavy floor stand, which I built, with the screen directly in front of me. This has worked really well for me for a couple of years. (I’ve briefly tried using a non-touch-screen laptop or a streaming device plus separate screen, but find the tablet touch-screen close by gives the best user experience for me.)
