Microsoft Surface Pro

[Mariner]

Good Day All.

Grateful for some advice and opinions.

Just had a total meltdown of my laptop (Acer Aspire 8930) and considering replacing with a Microsoft Surface Pro.

Will this machine run SBS and Aerodata? Anyone any experience, is it any good?

Grateful for your opinions and advice.

Best Regards

Mariner.

I think Chris Taylor was running BaseStation on one.

But on his website there's a note about the latest BaseStation CD:

"Please note this will not work on a Microsoft Surface"

Maybe email him and check?

According to Wikipedia, the Surface and Surface 2 both used non-Intel processors and hence will not run the version of Windows (x86) that BaseStation needs.

Intel processors capable of running "normal" Windows were used from Surface 3 and in all versions of the Surface Pro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface

So that note from Chris needs a bit of clarification now.

I will test with a Surface 3 and update as necessary
