Will this tablet run Visual Studio 2012? Just wondering, because I am a developer, and that would be handy.

Hello Michael, this a Windows 8 tablet and so far it runs anything that you can run on a Windows 8 computer. I love this tablet, I use it more than my ipad. I am a technology certified MCSE, I pretty sure you will not have a problem. You need to be sure that you can the requirmeents for the amount of memory and process speed that you will need to run Visual Studio. Otherwise, I see no problem as long as it is not a Windows 8 RT. Mine is Windows 8 Pro. Good Luck, I hope this helped.

Nope. Only VS2012 can be upgraded to VS2013. All others have to buy the full retail.

If that's what you are going to do on your tablet then do not pay the extra. The 2012 edition is a great tablet. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm going to upgrade so they can buy it. Absolutely not. I'm still loving it. Make sure to download the latest updates for it. Another tip is not to charge it while it's off. Unless it's completely dead. Reboot at least once a week.

I'm not sure of what you're asking. What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think the Surface RT is running Windows 8.1 RT for? Fun? What the {#HEYNOW#} do you think 8.1 RT is for? Ripping people off? It's the ONLY way that Windows 8.1 can run on a tablet! Why would you ask such a question? Do we think that there's a "Special" plan by Microsoft to rip people off? SHEESH!

I wouldn't look to see windows 8 out until october at the earliest, but most likely the end of the year. And as rancher says, you can always install windows 8 when it is released, which is what I plan to do. I haven't seen any tablet on the horizon that rivals this one, so if windows 8 is your only hold back, don't let that detour you.

Yes. I do photo and video editing on my Surface Pro 3, as well as Painter. The Surface Pen is suh-weeeeet! (I assume you edit with a Wacom already.) This tablet is 64 bit and runs like a true PC. I have the wireless display adapter, so I can use dual monitors wirelessly, which is great for long editing sessions because I can kick back with the tablet and still have my jumbo monitor running. My Surface Pro 3 replaced my aged Toshiba laptop. The thing you have to get used to is: No CD/DVD drive, and limited internal storage.

I run 8.1. Works fine. It's always best to get the latest software from ASUS site. Easy to find and install.

It'll run 8.1 just fine. My only recommendation is to wait for windows 10... :)

Well, Havent tried that but It works every bit as good as my old Wacom 6*8 Serial, and that worked pretty well. Really gonna depend on what program U are using. THis tablet does work with photoshop CS2? Cant remember which version I have. I mainly Use it with ArtRage, which is amazing with this tablet.

There will be both ARM and x86 versions of the w8 tablet. The spec of this Samsung is capable of running W8 and you can even download the preview consumer beta edition soon according to press reports on Engadget.com

I personally see no reason why Android X86 shouldn't run. Just install it. x3I run it on a Haswell i5 laptop, everything works, my touchscreen, wifi, audio, bt.4.4 RC1 definitely supports Haswell, as for this tablet..? I'm not sure, but I see no reason why not, as I said. x3

I had played with one at CES, and then spent about twenty minutes going through everything on it at Frys Electronics (their demo unit) yesterday. I ran the windows experience index thing and it scored low obviously, but everything was still a tenth of a point above my current laptop which is no slouch. I run everything on my current laptop, including high graphics needs such as Rhino, Keyshot 2, Photoshop, Etc. with no problems. My point being this tablet is still just i tiny bit more powerful so it should run about anything you throw at it fairly decently. Enough to get the work done for sure

I'm running Windows 8 and it's been working fine. I don't think that it would support touch, but I can't confirm that, as my laptop lacks a touchscreen. You can always try the eval copy to confirm, I think he offers a 21 day trial.

of course you can!. The ep121 is a full PC. Office 2013 works pretty well. I used to use this tablet for meetings and work travels, I have used it to run: METSIM (a process simulation software), R (a statistical languaje) and several "serious" softwares. Even You can play a little, particulary some old games (diablo II works just fine if you bought a pen with right click button).

It's suppossed to work with VirtualDJ and via USB interface. IF yous tablet has USB connector and a software capable of capturing midi signals, it should do fine. If you don't know what any of this means, you probably shouldn't buy it with the tablet purpose.
