Trying to find a cheap tablet to load romraider for logging. Cant find any info on windows compatibility. I'm getting old so pardon my ignorance but will the cheaper ARM processor windows tablets support romraider. ECUflash would be nice but not needed. Just trying to get away from logging and displaying on my laptop if im not flashing,

You need to stick to a tablet that runs x86 compatible software and Java 32bit. If it can run Windows XP or higher you should be fine.
If it runs x86 Linux that will work for RomRaider but might not work for EcuFlash without running it in a Windows VM.

ARM would be a challenge to support as most third party libraries needed for RR have no ARM equivalent and I'm not aware of an ARM version of EcuFlash.

That should work. Just use a USB hub for your OBD and WBO2 cable connections to it.

I have a seven year old and much less powerful Netbook that runs all my tuning apps just fine.

Terrific. And my WBO2 is wired in my maf input so no extra cables needed ;)

Thanks.

And ps, somethings up with the donate button. I tried before and it sat in limbo for like a month and then was returned.

How recent was that?
It should have been fixed as of Sept 1.
