Anyone using Logos 5.0 on an All-in-One Windows 8.0 Pro Machine yet?

Hi

What is your experience like using Logos 5.0 on a "Touch" large all in one in your home office for work and study?

Do you own or know of a machine under $1K?  Do you ever wish you had a smaller tablet you could detach?

    I’m running Logos 5.0 on a Gateway ZX6900-33 with Windows 8 Pro, an additional 23 inch monitor attached, and 8GB memory. It performs great! Their entire ZX line is less than $1000.

    Do you ever wish you had a smaller tablet you could detach?

    Not really.

    Discontinued and out of stock.  Thanks for the reply though.

    I didn’t reference the page so you could buy it; just so you could see what it was. You would need, and want, a newer model. [:$]

    Thankful for 27" iMac with 2560 x 1440 resolution plus Logos 5 having Full Screen option.

    Wiki => http://wiki.logos.com/Extended_Tips_for_Highlighting_and_Visual_Filters#Examples_of_visual_filters has some 27" screen captures.

    Dell Outlet posts coupon codes on twitter.  Noticed graduation sale has 30 % off for any Home PC over $ 1,000 until 11 June 2013:

    Noticed XPS One 2700 with Touch screen is $ 1,259.00 so 30 % coupon reduces price to $ 881.30 plus taxes and shipping.  The $ 1,195.00 refurbished model with a non-touch screen has a different coupon code that reduces price to $ 720.00, which is a 39.75 % discount:

    Before purchasing Windows 8, suggest visiting a store and trying out user interface, which is quite different than Windows 7 and seems better with a touch screen.

    Thankful for a Dell Outlet tablet and wiki installation steps => http://wiki.logos.com/Quick_Installation_onto_multiple_computers for offline use since Atom CPU is a bit underpowered for Logos 5 use.  Dell XPS 12 is convertible, albeit a bit heavy:

    With 30 % discount, $ 1,029 reduces to $ 720.30 plus taxes and shipping.

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    too slow.

    too expensive.

    awesome sharing though.

    I don't think you get the same dollar value out of an all-in-one. I was rather chomping at the bit for a new PC and even wiling to spend more, when I realized that I'd rather have more Logos or other resources than a super zippy computer. I wound up ordering a refurb HP Envy desktop $475 (versus about $700 new) on the web, and a 20 inch HP screen locally at Walmart for $129.  It's a Win 8 not a W8Pro machine, but it runs like a champ. Lots of RAM and storage, 2GB video, and a fast 6 core processor. Very happy with it so far.

    Mab do you have a touchscreen?  Logos running well on it?

    No touch screen. Figure that would add to the cost and not yield a worthwhile advantage. FWIW, I'm using it with the supplied keyboard and mouse. Logos runs great on my machine. 

    Even though it's not Win Pro, I've already determined that it also works perfectly being run Chrome Remote Desktop from either a Mac or a Windows computer.
