Can anyone recommend a 10” plus tablet ( windows) that will run George. Going to treat myself for Crimbo! Like Spruce my Palm handheld is on borrowed time.

I recently tried out a 9” tablet as if was gifted to me and found it a little fiddly even though it was functional My fat fingers struggled pressing the screen went back to print my worksheet out and clipboard and just updated George when I got home.  IMO not much time saving using the tablet.

George on A 9” screen is really small txt.

Yes, had a 9” ages ago, an HP, it stopped working but whilst it did the text om George was way too small.
My partner has just got a 10.5” fire tablet and the pictures and text are so clear.
Thought George might be better on a larger tablet?

Suppose the only way to find out is to try it.

Sorry I can’t recommend a tablet but I remember a year or so ago someone mentioned the lynx tablet were good for the money but I have never seen or used one.

I tried it on a tablet. Way too fiddly to be useful.

Best way to use George is just print a full weeks of sheets of in one go imo.

I have a 10" lynx tablet that I bought purely for using George. I think it was around the £150 mark from Argos.

Having used George for around 12 years or so and then having loads of problems with it on Windows 7, and then more problems with it on the tablet, and with the the blokes seemingly uninterested attitude despite plenty of emails and still more problems, I ditched George.

I now use Google calendar for all appointments and buy all my stuff as well as paying in cash/cheques/bank transfers using a Monzo card which display a break down of all expenses/receipts on my phone.

I'm sorry to say, in my opinion only, George is 'a has been'.

I have a 10 & 7 linx and have used George with windows 7 & 10 on a pc and both linx with no problems. I've had to email Paul with regards George window cleaning program in the past and he always answered and helped resolving problems promptly.

I have used George for twenty years and highly recommend it for my purposes being a sole trader. Even when I was an employer i managed sufficiently with it. I tried a few other window cleaning programs but owing to lack of support from the owners of these programs i aborted using them when problems occured and will stick with George until my window cleaning days come to an end.

One more here for lynx10
Has a detachable keyboard , I run it solely for George and window cleaning bits so it stays responsive.
