Girlfriend wants a new computer, told her I'd buy one if she will play Eve with me. She wants a tablet though, and I have no experience with such things. I can't imagine any issues, especially if I got the docking station, but I thought I'd ask first. Anything I need to be aware of before I go shopping?

Well, tablets generally can't run EVE, unless they can run the full windows.

So your best bet is the big 11" Acer one with an intel processor.
Otherwise, look out for a haswell based tablet, eventho they are rather rare atm. Sad

What about a hybrid laptop/tablet? They usually go with an intel processor which includes a built-in graphics card which should be enough to play EVE. If it doesn't you can try looking for one with a seperate graphics card (if they exist already).

I have been playing EVE on my new Microsoft Surface Pro, and it's been awesome. Even at High graphics setings, virtually no lag and smooth play. Let me know if you have any questions.
