Default What Tablet for Dream Motion Machine?

How much would you spend on a Windows Tablet for a Dream Motion computer system?

I had to look up what Dream Motion is. Here is a link for anyone interested:
http://www.brother-usa.com/HomeSewin...nSoftware.aspx

For me, it would depend somewhat on how expensive and current the software is. If this is pretty new software, I would probably opt for a new Windows 10 tablet (OS will not become unsupported for a long time) with a fast processor (I personally hate slowness and hesitations in computers), a large screen with good resolution (because my eyes are not improving with age), and adequate storage. With just a cursory look at the Dream Motion requirements for a tablet, it appears to me that any of the following tablets would be adequate:

Edit: Not sure that link provides the best information for your request, especially since it looks like you need a touch screen. Maybe someone else will know more.

The question of what you would spend is different from what kind of tablet you need. I'm not sure anyone else can answer that question. Will you be using the tablet only for this one application?

I looked on the Brother site. It disturbs me that prices are never mentioned. Are you getting the Brother Dream Machine set up, including the robotics?

The Dream Motion Pro computer system will have the Tablet attached. I decided to buy the i7-latest Tablet out. Was costly, but in the longrun I felt it best because Imay not be able to upgrade later and besides the fact that I'm starting a longarm quilting business as soon as I feel comfortagle with my new set-up. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this.

Thank You so much!! This is exactly what I needed. Decided to go with the newest Window Tablet i7 as I don't want to have to upgrade later. Starting my own business and will want the tools needed to do anything and everything I want for a customer. You have been most helpful!!

In your situation, that's what I would have done too. An i7 will stay fast for a very long time!
