are the new tablets with Win8 Pro capable of running Cubase

[Rudie Vissenberg]

Hi,

Every day I spend 2 hours on the train and I would like to use that time more efficiently by working on my songs. Unfortunately the type of trains I travel on don't have a small table to put a notebook on so I was thinking about a Windows 8 Pro tablet. When I look at all the specs of the tablet on the market I see they only have 2GB of memory. Is this enough to run Cubase 7?

Your remarks are highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Rudie

The minimum system requirements can be found on the Steinberg site - or do you want someone to look it up for you..?

^ No, just someone to hold his wee-wee

Kidding Rudie !!!

But the term 'Laptop' ... do they not fit on top of your lap these days? That is, if a tablet doesn't work out. If I was worried that a laptop would get knocked off my lap during sudden stops etc, I'd devise a harness or strap system of some kind. Hey, if people can strap their infant child onto themselves, the weight of a powerful & highly capable laptop is nothing.

Here are some strap systems to check out. They look like they may work well...

Just make sure you don't walk into a train

It all depends on what you're trying to run in your project.
If you have a full Win8 version (not RT!!!) then in theory it should work. However, the internal audio interfaces may not give a very satisfactory experience and I don't think you'll want to carry an external interface with you so don't jump before trying it.
