Guys & gals,
I want a tablet to keep in the car so I haven't got to keep taking my laptop out, I only need it run my allcoms & RAVE as I am no techy and with so many to choose from I have no idea, so my question is what do you suggest or have, make and model no's would be good.

If it's just to stay in the car I'd go for a Nexus 7 they are good little tablets and should run what your after.

Only tablet I keep in my landy are anti depressants

I use a 10" netbook....

Tablets do run windows, but I am not sure they can be used to run the .netframework stuff.....research is key!

It doesnt have a standard USB slot so not sure how you would connect the All Comms....

Also I dont know if it runs .netframework.....

So long as it's running Windows 8.1 (ie proper Windows, not Windows RT) things should be fine

Try this place for a cheap tablet or laptop etc.
Morgan Computers - for cheap computers, printers, digital cameras and accessories
Been dealing with them for years, never had any trouble, though you need to read the specs carefully.
