Maybe you could use a USB keyboard or mouse connected trough a dock or OTG converter to allow file transfers.

There is an even more relevant video of using external storage trough USB. He recommends using software raid:
With the currently available Android tablets the software really limits its uses. Many of the higher quality product focus too much on productivity without success. But this creeps up the prices so much that makes them hard to justify for entertainment.
I think there are only a few use cases where tablets shine:
Longer software support is only available from just Samsung or Google and I can’t justify the prices of those if a laptop can replace it. Here a Pixel Tablet or a Tab S9 costs the same as 13" laptop with oled screen (Zenbook S 13) with “unlimited” software support.
I do own a T20 Mini and an old ThinkPad and I really like reading on the Android tablet even with the slow SoC and medicore screen, but bring a real laptop along for longer trips.
He’s looking for quite recent Amd based laptops which all support win 11, so I would actually expect the prices to increase with the higher demand.
Filesystem permissions
For many apps it is not an issue and provides additional security but in other cases it’s very annoying and not trivial to fix.
Example1: opening a .docx from Thunderbird flatpak with OnlyOffice flatpak does not work out of the box.
Example2: mpv and VLC flatpaks work well for local files, but fail to open network shares from Dolphin.
I think a possible solution would be runtime permission dialogs when denied access.
My issue is not being available from a platform. Downloading an unknown apk is more risk than how evil the Play store is.
Is it available on an Fdroid repo? I didn’t find it on the main one.
The mobile and TV clients are often limited to the codecs with hardware acceleration. Or just selecting a lower bitrate on the client will cause transcoding.
