Okay, i have been searched and searched for an answer, none to find :)

Ive been thinking of Buying a Windows Surface Pro 2, and read something about incombatiblilty on HD 4000 graphics cards, any one out there currently playing on a Intel 4400 HD graphics tablet?

My plan is to used it both for Photoshop and such, but if its possible to play eve on it, that would be perfect, i don't need to PvE/PvP, just AP, change skill training and such.

thanx in advance :)

The 4400HD integrated graphics work fine. I run a mix of Med and High settings without HDR. Also turn off the some of the particle effects and turn off the WIS feature and you will be good to go. My frame-rate moves between 28-45fps. I never had a problem running missions of even being in the trade hubs.

One important thing to note, you may get a graphical glitch if you try to ALT tab out. It seems the card puts all its resources into the game and Windows * will look like a mess of psychedelic colors. To fix it, you just need to hibernate your system and then wake it up.

TL:DR Eve works well, but no multitasking with the client running.

ALWAYS buy your hardware from a software developer everyone hates

The hardware will run eve fine, it's the screen size you need to worry about.

I tried it on whatever that Razer tablet is. It ran fine. But found it was almost completely unusable. My finger makes for a large mouse, so clicking was very imprecise. I tried it with a stylus but at least the Razer tablet didn't like that at all. Skill queue updating is about all I can see being able to do with it.
