Hi Jorge,

Paul remembers correctly that I've been using Studio on a tablet... for 4 years now so it predates Surface. It's an Acer Iconia W700P 4Gb that I bought with Win8 then updated to Win10 and has always worked extremely well. It cost me twice what they do now but it was worth every penny, in many ways the only thing of its kind back then and as hi-spec as a full-sized PC. It was just what I needed, a hi-res touchscreen tablet that converted easily to a notebook with a very good keyboard integral to an excellent protective cover that folded up into a solid stand. It punched well above its quite substantial weight. Some users found it heavy but for me that was a good thing because it was as solid to work on as a computer and able to withstand being chucked in my bag and taken along wherever I went at a moment's notice. I could work from anywhere without having to drag a laptop with me.

So, what else can I tell you about this tablet that I love so well... It is easy to take work mid-project from PC to tablet and vice versa, wirelessly or via the Cloud, and as I mirrored the filing structures on each everything is where it should be and I don't need to worry about moving termbases or huge TMs over as they're all there so very quick indeed. I also use an external HD that plugs into either for unchanging background resources and archives. Neat.

The screen is small but matches the 16:9 aspect ratio of my very large home screen and thus the software looks the same on both which facilitates the visual hopping between the two. On the Iconia, I have all the resources tabbed at the bottom of the screen, the bilingual window across the centre and the ribbon set to auto-hide when not in use. I use it more than just for travel as it's also my test machine so I've used all the Studio and MultiTerm betas on it too. One thing I haven't done for more than five minutes is worked in Studio with the onscreen keyboard. I'm a fast typist and that would slow my work down too much, but I think it would be very impractical on a screen that small anyway.

Whatever the make and model of tablet, it will have to be an OS that Studio can work on. For example, an Iconia isn't necessarily Windows-based - depending on the model they can be running Android, Windows Phone, neither of which can run Studio (yet, as far as I know) or full Windows 10 which is what you'd need (or Win8). I would imagine there are plenty of Surface Pro users on the forum who'd say that would be the way to go... And Macbook users too!

That's my 5 p's-worth. Anyone else out there with further useful experience for Jorge?

If there are any specific questions you'd like to ask, Jorge, don't hesitate!

All the best,
Alison
