raspberry Pi

[Richard Kreiss]

Top post:

There are a number of tablets and Ultrabook's out there running on Intel chips which probably run Linux or FreeBSD as well at Windows8.

One of my clients is using the Surface Pro currently.  Not with filePro.  He tested a number of the Windows 8 tablets and found the Surface Pro  the most responsive.

So, filePro running on a small footprint computer, a lot out there to choose from both in tablets and small lightweight laptops.
