This is a clearly a very subjective take on the experience. However, when a decent tablet shipped with/built for Linux appears, that could be worth a try. I may try a Linux bootable drive at some point, but I have doubts as to how well it will work on the Asus T100, something tells me the hardware is just to specific for Linux to deal with in a standard installation.Other Win machines like the Surface Pro 2/3 probably work just as well with SH3D (or better for all I know).But I doubt I will use SH3D in pure tablet mode very often. Conclusion is that I am very happy with the purchase.Also, it is fast (enough), silent (no fan) and just all-in-all very good value for money (it also, btw, comes with Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, not a big deal for me, but if you need them, it makes value even better). Some reviews complained about keyboard and build, not me. So much so, that it may indeed become my primary work tool. Weighing in at 1/2 kg, the tablet part is on the heavy side, but apart from that, the Asus T100) is a very positive experience.Working in portrait mode on the tablet is very nice, and the lower screen resolution (1366x768) much less of a problem than I feared it might be. What actually works quite well, is to work on an existing plan and do fine adjustments (which is my primary objective for now), namely double-click the elements and enter exact numeric values.But who knows, maybe a tablet enthusiast out there feels this is worth some development). (In theory, I suppose the SH3D interface could also be equipped with a special "stylus/tablet mode" that would facilitate tablet use, but I for one would not see that as a priority. I suppose an advanced stylus user (possibly using a tablet with better stylus support than the Asus T100), may actually cope quite well, but for me actual drawing will probably still be done with a mouse and keyboard.Making do without the clever keyboard/mouse combinations in SH3D is a pain, but with a bit of fiddling it is possible to do basic sketching (prepare for some frustrating moments and many undos).Beyond that, well, I am not in the 8.1 fan-club. And, of course, having a full OS on a tablet is very nice. As for the Win 8.1 experience, it does make more sense on a combo tablet. With a tablet running Win 8.1 32b I did not expect any compatibility issues and have not found any (that is, full Win, not Win RT / Android or other tablet specific software).Using a tablet for SH3D is fully possible(as indicated by threads 41).Anyone tried SH3D on a tablet? Please pitch in. Plan is to post my experiences in this thread. So here goes: I love the little beast (the ASUS that is) already, but have yet to try SH3D using the tablet. I want to put the tablet and a laser tape measure in my backpack and put together a complete todo list for my construction ambitions (with the help of SH3D) before I start abusing my credit card. I should probably add that my project is 8 km away from the grid (charger), and much further form civilisation. Point is to try the tablet as a field tool for SH3D (and a spreadsheet). It may not be the fastest, or have the best screen - but it has an Atom Quad core processor, 11h battery life and is currently good value for money. Price in Norway (June 2014: €365 + €100 for 64GB extra memory, hdmi micro cable and stylus). So I purchased an Asus Transformer Book T100 which is a Win 8.1 32 tablet that comes with a separate docking keyboard (tablet and keyboard 1/2 kg each). And with rumours that the price would be dropped shortly (in part because of the release of Surface Pro 3), that was (for me) not an option. MS Surface Pro 2 looked like a good option, but it is expensive. This is a continuation of thread,5130 - but more generic in its nature to cover tablets in general.īackground: to use SH3D in the field, I searched for tablets running a SH3D compatible OS.
