TouchPC for Sequencing
« on: April 29, 2016, 06:25:16 AM »
Does anyone use a touch PC (Surface or other) for sequencing in xLights?

Amazon has this laptop on special today.   For the price it seems pretty go and it is a touchscreen.  Thinking of getting one but i would only really need it for sequencing when i am not at my desktop.  And i know i can just use it as a laptop but didn't know if it could be used (well) touchscreen only) Thoughts?

You can always add a bluetooth or usb mouse, but I would be more concerned about the small screen.  These small devices are great for portability, but the small screen size can be a bear depending on what you are doing.  I have a 10" screen netbook and several 15.6" screen laptops.  I would not do sequencing on either one although they work great for running the show or managing an FPP network.
