So how does it handle? Easy to avoid missclicks?

We shall see. I just wanted to ensure that it ran at all, which is shown here. Ill try it out in an actual game on Tuesday when i play my Vampires, Slann, and Gobbos and im not going to get too bent out of shape over a misclick

Also, i set resolution to 1024x768 so that it would fill the entire screen. Originally it was set at a much much highet resolution and and the players looked tiny.

What are the specs of that table?
I'm in the market for a portable & if it can run the client I'm sold.

How does automove and right click work on such a device?

yeah, this would be one good reason for me to get a surface. real OS means real java means fumbbl. Curious how the interface handles touch.

@nightbird; specs won't matter much. If you have a tablet that will run a real version of windows, you can install java and run the client, I think.

yup. the touch handling will be the critical point. i am curious as well, how it works out.

What about marking players? Shift is not an option on tablet I guess.

I'll grab you the specs Nightbird, but I have to say that the only selling point of the Surface is that it can run Java. The price, the battery life, the incompatibility with Win 7 (yeah, uefi bios and non VGA output make it nigh impossible) all make it substandard for me in a business situation. Personally I'd be okay with it.
One of the accessories that came with the Surface Pro 3 is a stylus that has 2 buttons. I think I've gotten the hang of it with one button on the stylus being able to toggle the right click menu but the proof of ease will be when I throw down. I'm actually kind of a weirdo in that I use keys to select actions, Z for blitz, B for Block, M for Move, P for Pass so worst case scenario I'll use those to play with the tablet.
