Want a tablet which I can use my mouse on (which connects via USB port ie. not bluetooth) so went to Currys and asked if a Samsung tab A 10.1 would work for this but told no but the expensive Samsung s4 would...

Any suggestions? Use VPS by the way so can connect easily through RD Client.

Yes, mines running Win10 so has RDP installed and I've never had any issues being able to connect to my VPS
I use it daily to keep an eye on my automation on VPS and of course when I'm out and about

Mines a few years old now but the newer ones are all a bit bigger and I prefer its compactness so as it still does the job perfectly I've just held onto it

Edit; Just found this pic from last year

I see the Bet Angel mug has no trace of being used to hold tea or coffee. ;)

I'm not a great drinker of tea but it has been used a few times, but before anyone asks that always how it sits and how my desk looks on a day to day basis but I did turn it around before I the photo ;)

Sorry another question Dallas, it says it runs on Windows 10 S and not 10, does that matter do you think?

I think it's just a version of 10 optimised for Surface. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/ ... comparison

I was just going to post

As far as I know, the major thing with 10s is it doesn't allow 3rd party apps so only those from the Microsoft app store can be installed, so Microsoft remote desktop will still be available to download even if not already pre-installed

that link from Shaun seems to confirm that

Just 5 screens? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those up.
