Hey,

i wanted to know, if someone of you ever used a 2 in 1 Tablet like the microsoft surface for producing music.
How is the handling? Do you have a proper workflow? Do you have any problems with plugins or your DAW? Is the hardware good enough for producing music without having trouble?

I ask this, because i´m often traveling around and over all these 2 in 1 Tablets are really nice to handle i think. And they are getting very powerful aswell.

Would be happy to hear from you.

Kind regards

Well even if i don´t play games, i buyed a gaming laptop aswell, because it had 16gb ram, an ssd and hdd and an i7 with 4 cores.
And exactly that is my problem. Because i use a lot of different plugins in my productions. So i worry that if i buy a tablet the 2 cores are not enough for these plugins..

Anyone some experience?

I have a 2-in-1 laptop I use for production. I don't have much of a problem with it, but I don't use tablet mode near as much as I thought I would, so part of me regrets not putting the money towards a gaming laptop or something similar instead.

If you're hoping to use some touch functionality when producing then don't get your hopes too high. FL and Bitwig are the only DAWs that really support multi-touch functionality at this point. FL works ok, but I found myself flipping back to laptop mode more often than not when using it. I found Bitwig implemented the feature much better than FL, many more controls and shortcuts with a fairly nice layout.

I went with a gaming laptop, just because it provided enough flexibility when dealing with audio and games.

Pro tip, if you're going to be doing audio with this device RAM>every thing.

RAM isn't really everything, without a good processor and clock speed your RAM won't help you much. Processor is much more important, that's the heart of it all.
