I have tested AdvancedHMI on a Surface Pro 2.

If you are good with Linux, AdvancedHMI will run on Linux with Mono

The surface pro is no different than a laptop. For any Windows PC to run AdvancedHMI, you only need to install all of the Windows updates in order to ensure it has the latest .NET framework.

I even have installed Visual Studio on my Surface and do application development with it.

I personally use Visual Studio 2013 Pro on my Surface Pro 2. However I recommend using the Visual Studio Community Edition. It is the close equivalent to 2013 Pro and it is a free edition:

As long as it has the full version of Windows, it will work. There were some tablets with WinRT that looked just like Windows 8, but I think they are all off the market now. The WinRT tablet will NOT run AdvancedHMI.

Hi,

many thanks Archie,
may i know what you mean full version windows?
and am sorry about asking questions.

thanks

[Archie]

As long as it doesn't specify that it is WinRT or Windows CE, then it is the full version.

Hi,

Any comments plz

[Archie]

I've got a new tablet coming this week that has Windows 8.1. I will see if I can figure out how to disable the charms fly out.

BTW, I actually found a sub-$100 tablet based on the new Atom SoC and Windows 8.1 Bing. If this works well, it will open some good possibilities for AdvancedHMI.

Hi,

i have also test this tablet Acer 8" tablet W1-810-17FE
and its cheap in the market after you have advised me, as long as the tablet is full windows version.
i have tried and it works perfect.

but i have seen 1 problem this tablet if the hibernate mode option is not disabled the program crashes.
i have disabled it and works perfect.
or if the display option is active also i got this problem.

that is my experience i have seen since i came this field.

any comments about using the AdvancedHMI will be welcomed regarding windows 8 and what ever.

thanks alot
