Last thought Wikkett brings up a good point about power, especially in portable mode. The Surface pro only has one USB port (3.0), but I suspect it is pretty low power. It is sufficient to run a risingtech IMX224 camera, but I haven't tried it with any larger power hungry computer. You should see if...

The X230, if it is equipped with an i5 processor is significantly more powerful than the base model 330. So that may not be a useful comparison. It appears you can buy a 330 with the i5 processor - but it is about 2x as expensive (in the US) than the base model. What camera will you be using, and wi...

Sticks come in all sorts of configurations - some are atom and celeron based, others are based on Intel's M series (3 - 5, etc) of processors. Whether a specific one will wor...

Get well, that's the most important thing.

Robin:

Is there a way (short of downloading section by section ) to download the whole of the 3.2 documentation ? I'm old school and like to have a hard copy in my hands .
