When I was shopping for VCDS, I looked into the systems requirements and it states the following.
A computer running Microsoft Windows. A Laptop, Netbook or Tablet computer is best, but a desktop PC can also be used. I would like to use a fairly inexpensive Windows tablet. Can anybody point me in the direction of one the KNOW will work? I was all set to buy a tablet last night when the salesperson said, "This runs Windows RT, not full version of Windows " I have the HEX-USB+CAN version of VCDS. I'm wishing now I woulda bought the mobile as I coulda run it off my iPad but I didn't so any help would be appreciated.

VCDS will definitely NOT work with Windows RT. We have heard many have success with Windows Tablets that are running Windows 8.1. I am answering you from a Lennova Yoga Tablet/laptop running Windows 8.1. Works great.

Another consideration is the USB port. Many of the tablets have micro-USB connections. You will need an adapter should you go that route.

I have a Linx8 that works well with HexCan USB.
