Recommendation for a 10" or bigger tablet for running Excel 7.0 with macros.
Can you recommend the best tablet that provides the following features:
• Must include and run Excel 7.0 with Macros (required)
• Communicate via WiFi with company network including wireless printing
• Include camera (resolution unimportant)
• At least a 10” display

Thanks guy. The budget is not an issue. Can you recommend some brands/models please? Is Surface good?
Surface is expensive, but Surface Pro 2 (NOT Surface 2 or Surface) would work - it should have an excellent battery and with accessories, it can act as a desktop, laptop, and tablet. Almost got one myself... but just a little too pricy for me at the moment.
I'd also look at Lenovo products... they have some good ones.

leew,
Did you try to give me a list on the post before the last one? Because you said -- "Here's a list....."
"Windows RT does not support Macros.
Here's a list - lower prices are mostly Atom based (slower/lower RAM), the higher prices are mostly i5 (more RAM, faster) "

Thank you for the wonderful job.
We ended up purchasing a Dell Venue Pro with Win 8.1 from Costco for $329 plus tax. The beauty is it comes with installed Office Home edition which is a big saving and to our need.

Just checking - you do mean Excel 7.0?
That would be about Excel 97 (I don't have that installed oddly, so not 100% sure, but Excel 2000 was Excel 9.0 I think) and a quick google search seems to tie Excel 7.0 with Excel 97.
If so, I suspect you are going to struggle unless you could perhaps use virutalisation and put it on WinXP / Win 2000 Pro or even Win98SE or Win95C (no idea if it would run on anything later - you could try), but even then you will run into performance issues on a tablet I would think.
Why do you need Excel 7.0 specifically?
Alan.
