Ipad and HL..
 

Im looking at getting an old Ipad to put HL on so I can use a tablet at the table.. what is the minimum generation I would need to have HL work on an Ipad?

Thanks...

Last I knew an iPad 2 would work, but I'd get whatever the one you can afford with the most RAM because HL is very memory intensive

It runs sllloooowwwwwwlllllllllyyyyyyy on an iPad 2. but it does run.

I've considered an iPad solely for Hero Lab (I dislike Apple and have multiple Android tablets, but since it's not supported ... yet) I'd probably look at a mini 2 if you're trying to save some money, it's around $300 and has 1GB of RAM. You can't get more unless you get an Air 2 which is expensive as all heck.

Other option is also get a Surface Pro 3 running Windows, but even the cheap ones are around $700.

Has anyone tried using Hero Lab on one of those Atom-powered Windows tablets?

I'd think it'd be too small, although I'd consider if it had blue tooth

Maybe not helpful but the new 64bit version of the HL app runs REALLY nice on the iPad Air and Air 2's. Just mentioning if your going to spend the money maybe better to get something that will last many years. :)

It runs OK (slowish) on an Atom-based (Z2760) Windows tablet, but a larger screen (10-12 inches) is almost essential for running the standard HL application. Have a look at the list at http://uk.pcmag.com/tablets/10513/gu...indows-tablets

I've had good luck running Hero Lab on my ASUS Transformer Book TF100TA. (10" screen at 1368x768, Atom Z3775, Windows 8.1 and 10.)

Ooo one of those would be perfect for my needs ... although I'd rather have a larger BT/USB keyboard/mouse
