Realms Work multiple computers

I too use it on three different machines. My main desktop where I run my online games from, my laptop where I build things around the house and where I run home games from, and also on my Surface where I can build things when inspiration strikes me on the go. Just sync when you're done with any of them and everything works wonderfully.

How does RW run on your Surface? I've been looking for a windows tablet for a while and the high price of the Surface has put me off till I see one in use and everyone I know has iPads.

I actually use it on a little 10" Asus mini-transformer tablet. It works well for me and what I use it for, but none of my realms so far are very large so YMMV.

It likely also helps that I don't have a ton of other software loaded on it.

It runs better on here than it does on my ASUS gaming laptop, actually. The solid state memory on the Surface easily outperforms the mechanical disk on my laptop. I think RW is more bound by disk speeds than processor and memory given it's design. I can't recommend the Surface highly enough for RW, or just general use.

I run RW on an i5 Surface Pro 3 and have had zero issues. I am a huge fan of the Surface. In use it primarily for tabletop RPG stuff: HeroLab, RW, Fractal Mapped, Roll20, MS Office.

It's also perfectly easy to save a backup database as a file, then use any means you like to get the file to a second computer, where you restore the database. It's a little more complex than syncing, but sometimes this forum forgets that not everyone paid for cloud service

True, but those who got in on the kickstarter and got cloud service, paid upfront for it.
