At the very least, I absolutely won't be buying a tablet. No corpo can force me to do that and I know a lot of people in the space will agree.

I said exactly the same thing. Then I bought a set of standalone DJ decks from a coworker and it REQUIRES windows to run the program to analyse the tracks and load a USB. Cheapest thing I could find in spec was a Microsoft Surface Pro 5. £50 delivered. Don't care about it being stuck on win10 because I don't connect it to the net. It's only job is to run that one program and some standalone synths so I can noodle on the midi keyboard and mix at the same time.

Well.... it's also got an ebook/manga reader installed too. I load those files from a usb or SD card though.
