basic tablet that runs LE?

  • I'm looking for a basic (cheap) tablet that can run LE. I want to use it for testing programs/addons while travelling. I currently take my Rpi3 that has a 3.5 screen with me as it can run powered off my windows tablet. However while small, the RPi is rather bulky to carry in a bag so I'm looking for something thin.

    I want to be able to connect a usb tuner to it - so it at least needs 1 usb 2 port. I'm fine if the touchscreen doesn't work as I'm happy to use a small usb remote - though that might need a second port!

    Basically - what I'm wondering, is what hardware would be supported? Should I look for an old baytrail or cherry trail tablet with at least 1G ram? Maybe a rockchip device?

    Or am I completely wrong in thinking this would be an acceptable test device?

    Thanks for your thoughts!

  • Thanks - I hadn't realized how easy VMware was. I was stuck in my VM virtualbox world and hadn't considered this.

    Works great - perfect for addon testing on the road!
