    Ross Tech Question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Is anyone using a tablet to run the Ross Tech software? If so which one and how well does it work? I am using a Think Pad but it's a little bulky.

    thanks

    Yes, using an old Surface, everything is good.

    Win 10 on a Surface Pro and a HP Spectre x360 2n1.
    When purchasing from Ross Tech they inquired about platform and OS.

    I think they just want to validate ahead of your purchase that you have appropriate hardware. I don't think it changes anything with their product.

    thanks I was looking at a used Surface Pro. On Ross Tech's site they state that only the Surface Pro will work with their software. Does the Surface have enough battery life for doing simple resets and scanning of the car's vitals?

    thanks
