Hi all,

I am trying to shoot a second hand windows tablet. There are lots of Microsoft Surface Pros (all different generations) available. Also Surface Pro X that use ARM based processors (do they work for Biab?).
The question is also, what generation of surface pro is sufficient for current Biab needs?

What is your experience? Thanks for input!

Cheers Stefan

ThinkPad yoga. Tablet / laptop. That way you will not have regrets of something that might not work well with touch only or something is too small (menus / gui). I used it with BIAB for a couple of years and still use when I travel.

While there are some functions that respond to touch in BIAB, it's not optimized for tablets.

Thanks for sharing your experience Rusty. Indeed I am worried dealing with the Biab GUI on a 13 " touchscreen. Handling input with fingers will probably not work - will it?

Cheers Stefan

You should be. Just for playback, it will be OK. For arranging, as I mentioned, it would not be a good choice as it's not optimized for touch screens. The Yoga I mentioned is 14". 1" difference might not seem like much, but it does make huge difference.
