I would like to try using a tablet to run some of my printers. From what I have read, it should be easily doable. I am just wondering what others have had good luck with. I think it mainly needs true win8.1 and usb out. Would mini usb be ok. I have seen some for under $100.00 that should work. I mainly want to run RH, maybe do some slicing.

thanks for your help.

I`ve already printed with my 8" Lenovo MIIX 2 Tablet and Printrun, its working fine you just need a micro-USB to Full USB Adaptor.
The only problem is that you can`t charge the tablet at the same time with out a modified USB-Charger/Host.

The Winbook tablets have a micro USB you can use for charging, and a full sized USB 2 port. They are $130 for the 8" from Microcenter, and $180 for the 10".
