I bought a cheap $200 tablet that I never thought the viewers would work on - well, I decided to try and it's great - this would be SL (and the Linden viewer) I am using it for. I can't stay on forever, and the battery is short lived, but I couldn't believe a $200 windows tablet would allow me to use SL - and all features at that. It's a Lenovo Miix 2 8. I would recommend it for the money.
