Minimal Tablet and Ketron SD2 for varranger?

[elvis]

Hi everyone,
I would like to build a truely portable varranger with a small tablet,
and maybe two pieces Korg Nano Key (i.e. dual manual).

For sound out I would use a Ketron SD2 and maybe a USB hub.

What might be the smallest tablet to run that setup?
Is 4 GB RAM and 32 GB internal MMC enough?
And what about the USB?
And the CPU?

Does it have to be an expensive MS Surface
or is any other Windows Tablet enough?

Any ideas, any inspiration?

I have a bought a Chuwi HI10 (previous version), to test cheap computers with vArranger, and it is working OK...

Hello!
I have 2 variants of Windows 10 tablets to be used for my music experiments:

1. HP Pro Tablet 608 G1 - it has 64Gb memory and 4 Gb RAM also the 8" 2048x1536, 4:3 screen resolution and x5-Z8500 CPU.
I use it when I need moe RAM for sample libraries in Kontakt or many VST synths in CakeWalk. Sure the vArranger runs without any problems..

2. When I want to go outside my house I use Cube iWork 7" Windows 10 tablet with 32 Gb memory and 2 Gb RAM. With its Intel Z3735G 4 core CPU and 7" 1280х800 IPS creen. it is also very good to use with vArranger (i use iRigKeys 37 as MIDI keyboard) with different VSTs and many libraries for Kontakt.

If you really want to have the smallest Windows 10 tablet - the Cube iWork 7" is the best variant if you'll find it! IMHO. I can not agree with idea of 2 Korg nanokeys because 2 octaves are rather much for auto-accompaniment and they need 2 USB ports in tablet..

I have another Chinese variant of this computer 2GB RAM Intel Z3735 and it can works, especially with the next vArranger version
I would not recommend it for a pro usage, but only for fun or if we can't afford better computer

The question was exactly about "..might be the smallest tablet..."

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2020) 8.4" tablet with a 1920x1200 screen.  This will fit perfectly in a blank spot laying flat on the surface of my Roland Fantom 8 and should look nice and crisp.  I plan to use the SpaceDesk app to turn my Android tablet into a wireless (via wi-fi) touch screen for my desktop PC that is sitting on the floor nearby and just run the native vArranger PC application on my tablet.  This will give me the power of a desktop so I can run more demanding VST's if I want, etc. with a tiny screen.  I think there is a way in vArranger to use Android's a different way where you customize the look also.  I may explore that option as well.

What about 'AnyDesk'?
