Let us begin with Operation Android Desktop!
Using a Mobile Device as a Desktop Computer ... Is it feasible?

We shall see just how powerful of an operating system Android really can be and if it is viable in a home computer environment.
We'll be looking at apps you may want to use on a daily basis, as well as office, social and shopping.

The first thing you will need to do is find out if your android device can be hooked up to a tv. Whether by USB to HDMI or a regular HDMI cable. Most tablets DO have HDMI outputs in many flavours (HDMI, Mini and Micro HDMI). Some devices even have the old AV output (yellow, red, white composite).

The second thing you will need is a launcher that will work in landscape mode, this will make using a tv a lot nicer. Most work fine by default.

The third and most important thing to check is if your android device has OTG capabilities. Using USB hubs, mouse and keyboard and the like.

Key apps for Capability:
-NullKeyboard (Removes the onscreen keyboard)
-YouTube
-Gmail/Outlook (Any email app that you use ideally)
-Chrome (or your preferred web browser)
-Office

We also look at games which will be shown in Part 2!
