I have two or three tablets that I find useful for things other than music.

I see people playing live with tablets and I have often wondered why they like to use a tablet.

Why do you find a tablet to be more suitable/useful than a LapTop? LapTops are super cheap nowadays and are not that much bigger than many tablets.

Toward the end of my live playing, I started using a Windows 10 Pro i5, 16 gigs of Ram, and a small SSD LapTop and found it to be very stable and never crashed. Many things can be controlled with a foot switch for hands-free operation. I have to confess that a touch screen has never appealed to me. The larger screen size was a big deal for me to play from a lead sheet and read the lyrics.

I am not trying to suggest that you switch, just trying to understand why you prefer the tablet.

There is nothing more frustrating than having things fail playing live.

Cheers,

Billy
