I'm running Windows 8.1. It has already made my job a lot easier!
I've been using a Lenovo S10 laptop for years running Win XP for
Mp3, Txt, files....never had a problem 10' display, .....
also had a few android tablets with touch screen...but in no way do they compare to the navigational ease of use of a laptop IMO in live play. The keyboard/finger mouse pad is a must to navigate.
