Probably a slate book or similar type computer that runs regular windows would work.

I currently use a Motion Computing J3500 tablet when running the Durametric software. It's a beast of a Windows tablet - Core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, SSD, etc. WAY overkill. Only downside is that the one I have is pen driven (they do make a finger touch version).

I feel kinda like I'm Dr Rodney McKay from Stargate Atlantis when I have it hooked into the car. LOL

I also run the Durametric software on a Dell Inspiron Mini 10 (old, slow netbook). I didn't think it would work because of the Atom processor, but it actually ran fine. The netbook takes up very little space and I stow it behind the passenger seat when I take the car out for longer day trips.

Both machines are running Windows 7 Pro (I have Windows 10, but still prefer 7)...

Obscure reference but being a Stargate Atlantis fan I can easily picture this!

Way back I had it running on my Motion M1400 tablet (a Stargate Atlantis prop running the show software autographed by David Hewlett). Ran ok as long as I was running Win XP (not so much when I ran it with Win 7)... s..l..o..w...

(damn I have a lot of PCs...)
