Hi guys!



This is my first post here on the forum. I've been playing endless space on my MacBook Pro for some time now and really love the game.



Now, I in search for a tablet for photography and blogging. I'm an amateur photographer and as I want to run captureOne Express as my main Editing and importing tool on a tablet, it has to be a windows 8 machine.



As the surface pro 2 is basically as fast or even faster than my macbook pro 13" late 2012, I have now fear of running endless space on this beast of a tablet. The problem with powerful tablets is that they are expensive and the batteries are not as good, so I'am looking into the coming generation of Intel BayTrail powered tablets. As I know how CaptureOne worked on my old 15" CoreDuo MacBook Pro from 2006, I think I can handle it on an Atom based tablet.

But how about playing games or in this case playing endless space? I would really like to use a digitizer pen for my favorite 4x game!



Long story short, has anyone of you tried ES on a tablet or an old laptop to compare?



Cheers,

I play Endless Space on a Surface Pro. Unfortunately fleet movement does not play nice with touchscreens at all, due to needing extremely accurate targeting of the cursor, mouse-overs when selecting multiple fleets and right-clicking. The Surface stylus didn't work properly in-game either. You're gonna need a mouse to play.



4x games (and turn-based games in general) are a great candidate for touch interfaces though. It would be really cool if Amplitude adapted ES's ui for touch.
