No idea on these as dont have or use one.
Okay i bought a new appliance and it had a QR code to scan , phone is too small to read for using it to go to the Philips website for recipes in a Air Fryer.

11" is a good size but wondered also in connecting to kitchen tv as hdmi cable already there.

Most tablets one can stream music , netflix and other stuff but not needed.

So mainly for recipes and maybe playing a cooking video is why i need guidance as not needing the top end model.

Ideas welcome please

I got a Lenovo Tab M11. it's pretty good, Only USB C so you'll have to get an USB C to HDMI adapter.

Hiw old is tv? Could always cast from phone?
 
Most tablets would be fast enough for your needs in the 150+ Euro range, the important thing is the size of the internal memory.
The operating system can be 30GB in size, and if you add a few apps, memory can get tight very quickly.
Have you a budget in mind? Then I can look at specifics. There are very few places to buy over here mate - Harvey Norman, currys, DID, and Power City spring to mind.

Most of the ones i looked at were pricey and had bells and whistles ,
Some beautiful models out there but not having a clue leaves me in the deep end .
I did check our local boys to see whats out there but not looked at memory as that gives a starting point.
I do want or like to have duel screen tablet and big tv as might need to get an adapter for conversion and have a hdmi connector to add a longer cable to.

You might be able to cast your laptop screen to that TV, to find out, press the Windows logo key + K , if not then try the HDMI cable.
Why not use your laptop to print recipes from that PDF file, no need to print the whole thing, you can print one page at a time.
Google "Philips air fryer recipes pdf download" for more pdf files.

No casting to that dumb tv .
Desktop has a printer as just need to plug in a cable as its going to an old desktop that takes 20 mins to get going.
Have bookmarked recipes on desktop upstairs .

Bigger screen is handy to see at a distance.
 
Can you not connect to the printer over the network with your laptop , or is the printer as old as your tv.
The cheapest HP wireless printer on Argos is £39.99.

Argos went bankrupt over here, no longer exist.
I've always found that colour printers are a waste of money ~ I don't print often enough to stop them from drying out, I'd spend more on inks than a printer .
I bought a black and white (powder, instead of liquid) Samsung printer about 7/8 years ago, and am only on my second cartridge change. (Around €35 for 1,500 pages)

How old is your printer? It may not be wireless compatible (if it takes 20 mins to heat up lol)

What budget are you looking at for tablet?

Printer is grand but old W7 desktop is so old and might only get used once a month and takes for ever to load and previous printers with ink going hard was very expensive.
Bought a Brother printer with toner cartridge and only black and white and happy with results and on second cartridge also. That maybe wireless compatible but usually use upstairs fully wired.
At the moment might be a limit of 100 as a few big bills need paying off as got 710 on the never never car tax ,service on the boiler and if he does my element replacement..
More of a guide of what to look for
