The best you can do is an Intel x86 based mobile processor. I bought an HP windows tablet attempting to get something going, but i ran into problems with the Openport connection dropping ALOT. It probably had more to do with my hacked power solution introducing noise on the serial line but i kinda lost interest after a crazy amount of hours of trouble shooting.
Windows RT was built specifically to run on ARM.... OS hasn't been supported/updated in years though. OT when the android EvoScan was first announced and it was only offered bundled to a device they sold and folks like me kept noise about it there was dead silence in terms of other folks realizing what that meant. Ditto when many of the early folks like myself signed up to receive source code that never showed up.....

This iS foolish and unbelieveable that we don't have a way to display all of our ECU's existing info on our monitors or a supplied monitor. I want this made!

the question is will Windows RT work with Openport drivers and evoscan.exe?

seems microsoft recently got windows 10 running on ARM, the OS is built to support ARM but other x86 apps will be run in emulation. I don't know if this would impact evoscan performance or not.

I've been running EvoScan on an HP Stream 7 tablet that runs Windows 8. No issues with logging but haven't messed with the gauges.

I see that there are Double DIN Windows 8 head units available. Has anyone tried using one of these instead of messing with the Android units?

I did some research into it and found this,

Just need some experience with a raspberry pi and you'll pretty much have a comparable unit for 1/4 of the price.

May have to tackle this project once I get some loose funds
I bought one of these. I'm going to use a Intel NUC inside. I'm still trying to figure out the best amp to use with the stock speakers. My current Pioneer headunit is a half size and is only 1lb so I might use that just to test things out.

I am looking at this amp:

Its only 2 channels, but run the front and back speakers in a parallel setup. Left front and rear on one channel and right front and rear on another. That would put them at 2-Ohms....about 40 watts RMS a speaker.

i can run evo scan on a pc and then do a remote desktop via wifi it to my in-dash tablet.
Then i can control the pc on the tablet and use evo scan and datalog.

Sweet Setup! Does this mean that you have connected the Tactrix 1.3 harness to your tablet?

Still working on my car pc. I got my display in the mail a couple days ago. I’m working on keeping this setup as light as possible without it being crazy expensive.

Looks great! I see you used a double din. I just went with the lazy mans route and picked up a compute stick. It's lightweight and consumed little power.

I went with the Intel NUC because it can take a SSD and easily add RAM. I can also easily solder the power switch lead so that the pc can auto start/shutdown when the car turns on/off. The NUC is cheap used. Its still a very powerful little computer and good enough for a car pc. Also the double din is touch screen which is nice. I'm hoping the whole setup with weigh under 4lbs which is how much the stock radio weighs.
