iPad2 vs Acer W500 Windows 7 Tablet

[Sharp]

Hi mbncp.

What vst are you running on these win tablets, how many and what latency ?

Well, this thread is well over a year old, so for me things have moved on quite a bit since I started the thread. I have since formatted my W500 and installed Windows 8 on it. Under Windows 8 everything is much faster, and I find I'm able to place the tablet under a much heavier load when it comes to VSTi's vs what I could do under Windows 7.

The main things I'm running on the W500 are....
AKAI EIE Pro for Sampling.
Extreme Sample Converter
Samplelord (Streaming samples)
Linux Sampler (Windows version for streaming libraries) 32GB Library.
Superwave P8
OPX Pro II
KORG M1 and Wavestation.

Latency, I'm not sure what I'm getting. I don't feel any, so I never bother even checking.

Actually I'm looking for the cheapest win8 tablet that will run at least a single synth and 1-2 fx, with a latency of about 10 msec (or about 256 samples).

Chances are any Win8 tablet will do many times that.

Also what is the touch latency on these, on an ipad I find it pretty low.I would like to play the vst irectly from the talet.

My W500 is as fluid as an iPad. That being said, I'm upgrading because this has all worked out so well for me. I've ordered one of the new ACER W700 tablets last Sunday from Amazon. I'm expecting to have it by Thursday. I've gone for the i5 version with 128GB SSD.

Regards
Sharp.

Thanks Sharp, didn't realize this thread was so old, for me it's all new. lol

I'm currently using a few ipads and love the tablets for performing, but I feel I'm running in a wall with ios.

Anyway, this sounds good, will try something and see how it goes.
Let you know.

Btw, is there a problem with the notify me on reply ? didn't get a mail.

Finally got a surface pro, only win8 tablet in town, and this thing rocks

Currently I use animoog on the ipad as controller and for the sound too as it's really unique, and a couple of plugs on the surface, for me it's great as I always stand when playing, the mouse was a real pain.

Thanks again

Congratulations, the surface pro is a great machine.
