I used the same iPad for HLC as I use for HLO. No large laptop required. Only one of those wasn't slowed down or unusable due to "server issues".

To add another anecdote ...
Right after the roll out (which was certainly suffering load-scaling issues), HLO was running slowly on my chromebook. While HLC was ... oh ... wait, that doesn't run on my chromebook, nevermind. Keep up the good work, LW. (Just make it, you know, faster. ) |

What, preytell, is a chrome book? Must be really expensive, like Chrome bumpers on a car...

It's much less than what Google charges for their Silverbook, or the Goldbook.

Much less than the Silverbook or Goldbook and it's great for doing just web stuff.

HeroLab Classic only runs natively on Windows, Macintosh, and iOS systems (with some support on Linux with WINE-based emulators), so it will not run on a Chromebook without extensive modification (those laptops with persistent storage can be rigged to run a Linux environment, which could then use WINE to run Hero Lab). Most Chromebooks are 3rd party, but Google has also released the Pixelbook, a pricier, but higher-performing laptop. I use one for work, personally. It still won't run HLC without extensive modification. |

Yeah but with Hero lab classic you only pay once. I don't "need" cloud access to my characters cause I print them out.

That may be so, but rapidly vanishing is the day when you could pay $30.00 for a piece of software and expect to get free updates to it for the rest of your life. There's no business model there anymore.
Yeah, it's sad to see it go. But the world changes and businesses have to adapt to stay liquid. |
