Surface 3

I've installed Logos 6 on the Surface 3. After doing the quick install that shouldn't require an indexing or downloading Logos indexed anyway.  It took about 8 hours, which is clearly not a full  indexing.

It takes a full minute to launch and every action comes with a delay or lag of a second at least. Sometimes it's more like 2 or 3 seconds.

I can use Logos, but it's kind of painful.

By comparison all of the other programs I use run fast and smooth.

I am frustrated with the performance of my 4GB RAM Surface3, I like my iOS app better at this point.  Very clunky.  Death of an expectation!😫

I spent a long time investigating the various laptops, and  decided to go with the Surface pro 3 or  Samsung Np940x3g K04US - Low Prices Great Service Selection.  I settled on the Samsung.

Rosie Perera:

I've been thinking about this same decision and I think if I were to go for the Surface 3 (which sounds nicer in some respects) I'd only use it to connect remotely to my home computer which I could run Logos on.

That's an interesting approach.

Strange approach. That totally negates the main function the Windows tablets can laud over the other options. ...The ability to have an ultra portable copy of ones library available off the grid. I am disappointed that they are asking so much money for a unit that apparently gives little improvement over the earlier Atom offerings. I will hang on to the Dell Venue 8 Pro till something better comes down the pike. i still maintain the market is there. I use the Dell every week for a Bible study group. It is totally functional in that setting.

I don't think remote control of a desktop running Logos 6 would be any faster than Logos 6 on Surface 3. Only reason to do that would be to keep from downloading a full library, which Logos really needs to fix.

• customers want to limit downloads
• speeds up the install/index process
• reduces the burden on their servers

The only drawback is the coding which is likely the issue. They're trying to go in so many directions I'm sure it's hard to do all they want and we want to do that they'd be willing to do.

I concur.

The Atom based WinBook tablet I picked up, thanks to a notice in another earlier thread, does not handle logos like my Core2Duo 2010 MacBook Air which in turn handles Logos less well than my Quad Core i7 Dell. All fill the role I've given them, though lightweight versions of the desktop applications would perhaps help sweeten things. It seems to me that trimming some of the features might be easier than developing a new application - though not as ideal.

Kevin has succinctly stated the features that need to be added to the existing desktop applications in order to begin to meet the needs of many users.
