I installed SW2017 on a tablet because I was curious to check if this is technically possible.
The tablet is 1 year old Acer Aspire Switch 11V, and has 64 GB SSD,touchscreen and a detachable keyboard with magnetic connectors.
Processor: Intel core M 5Y10c @ 0,80 GHz
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5300
RAM: 4GB Dual-channel DDR3 @ 798 MHz
Actually it's a so called "hybrid" and it's running on Windows 10 x64.
After 2 attempts I got SW2017 running, and I can operate SW2017 just by swiping with my fingers.
This setup is is far beyond SW hardware requirements and is also far from comfortable working with it.
But it is technically possible.!!
After opening some models, I admit the graphics working area is very small and is hard to work with..
I decided to go one step further and ran the SW Performance benchmark test.
Guess what, it does not perform so bad at all.
The results seems to be somewhere in the mid range of other computers with much more powerful processors and graphic cards.
This tablet has a similar volume as a mid range Quadro desktop graphics card !
How is it possible that the benchmark test is not so bad ?
