    If it helps, the WookieTab is dual boot - Win10 and Android, and I don't use the Android side at all, because the screen is so big that it make you feel like you are in the Remedial Class since all apps are full screen ... it actually feels worse to use familiar apps like that than it does to use the UWP apps in Win10. And that takes some doing! So Android on a pair of 22" monitors? Not sure that's going to work.

    Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

    Hm,if you could run the OS in VirtualBox, you could fix the 'whole' screen issue. Might be usable that way.

      Where can you find WookieTab? I did a search and came up short.

        Try a search for Chuwi Hi12 - it's a poor attempt at a Star Wars pun to call it the WookieTab. I believe you can get it through Amazon.com, as well as direct from China. They also do a 10 inch version, as well as a brand-spanking-new 13 inch 3K retina display.

          It is bloody brilliant, isn't it? I'm keeping a close watch on everything Chuwi does, because I don't want to miss anything.

              I understand and that makes sense. I'm just looking for a small OS to run on an old unused laptop with 3GB ram and an old celeron processor. I believe their might be a chromeOS version I could try also. Not sure.

              FWIW: I used Mint for a good while on a 2GB netbook from yesteryear. I thought it was a little heavy for that amount of RAM so I switched to Xubuntu (which is supposedly more lightweight). It's OK--not great, but performance is where it would be expected.
