PCI required WiFi be disconnected.  It has to use 4G

Yes

I'll kick their asses.  PCI requires I remove all non essential
software (I just removed NetFlix from two of them and they
got the finger wagged at them by their managers.)

Only one app to be used

Ha Ha!

it is a somewhat abusing environment, but not all that bad.

PCI requires support be in place for all updates

It just has to be a FAST data cruncher!

Is the client aware this will generally place a life of two years (from 
release date) on most android tablets?

Google gives three years, but their tablets have now jumped from android 
to chromeOS, they can run android apps, but how well?

Google gives at least 6.5 years from hardware launch on Chrome
 devices. The hardware list dates are in the link.

> they can run android apps, but how well?

In my personal experience with this Chrome OS device: Out of the
 40 or so Android apps I've tried a few wouldn't run, another few
 won't run full screen, and another few were greyed out in the
 Play Store and couldn't be downloaded. The rest run as well as
 they do on my Android OS devices. Bottom line: You're pretty much
 SOL if the Android app you want won't run...

Pretty good, don't see why they can't offer more* than three years for 
android really, my 5X wasn't feeling old


[*] technically they gave it 38 months.

I've only got 4 years left on this recently purchased Chromebook
 since it was an older model (on sale).

They seldom look past the original price of purchase.

The POS software company should keep up, but will they.  They
do risk losing their PCI certification, if they don't.

The non-replaceable battery gets my goat.

What's it going to run, why does it need to be fast, what counts as fast 
(cpu or storage)?

Number crunching its the issue.

Due to privacy reasons, I can not tell you the software.  Sorry.
It is a half cloud / half local app that run a YUGE database

So, basically, I am after number crunching.

The vendor who does not want to be discouraging, says it
will run on any Android, but obviously, he isn't going
to say anything about crappy performance.  He just wants
to make a sale.  "Look at the wonderful things it will do
on tablet"

Well there is the windows subsystem for Linux which works well for running
Linux apps on windows. I wonder if anyone's tried getting android to run
within it. 

Alternatively, you can always run an Android emulator in Windows.

It has to be an Android tablet.  Maybe not Samsung, but I would
like it to because of compatibility with Go To Assist

The problem I've had with Samsung tablets that have hardware
 Recent/Home/Back buttons embedded in the case is that a few of my
 apps lose their bottom menu and are thus unuseable. The apps work
 fine on other brand tablets that have software on-screen buttons.
 Personally I dislike those hardware buttons because they're
 always there to accidentally push which I always seem to do...  
 YMMV.

Do you know an alternative to Samsung that is FAST?  I may have
to compromise on Samsung.

I'm not particularly interested in what you want. You seem to want others
to do your professional work for you - where a quick Google would give you
your answer. 

I was answering 123456789's post. It's irrelevant to your OP.

Without going into to particulars, it has to be a tablet

It is a combination local/cloud point of sale software.  The
user's main complaint with the current el-cheap-o tablets is
that they are excruciatingly slow.

  Saying "slow" without saying *what* is 'slow' is utterly meaningless.

  And if "the current el-cheap-o tablets" "are excruciatingly slow", the
don't buy "el-cheap-o tablets", but but one with decent specs.

  'Problem' solved.
