PhotoMechanic on a Tablet?
« on: August 10, 2014, 09:10:40 AM »
I'm considering buying a HP Omin tablet that runs Windows 8.1, has an Intel Atom 2.4 GHz processor, and 2GB DDR3 SDRAM. Will PhotoMechanic 5 run on this machine?

Most likely yes, but if it has a high DPI screen, then there will be cosmetic/usability issues.

The only spec I can find about the screen states: 10.1 inch diagonal  display with wide viewing angle  1920 x 1200.  Can't find anything in HP specs that shows the dpi. Is this helpful?

You will probably be OK.  I'll be making some changes to make PM work better on high DPI screens.

Hy Tom,

I have user PM a while on an Dell Venue 11 Pro. It's display has is 10.8" and has a resolution of 1.920 × 1.080. I have not found any limitation when working with PM.
Greetings from Germany,
