  1. #1

    Default VM on an Edge Dualbook?

    Has anyone ran a VM on an entourage edge dualbook? this is a curiosity question, but I'm considering the edge-however I have a program or two that I'm wondering if could be run off a VMXP os thinking of switching So child can have my old 1100 Just thinking

    the Edge has USB right so running a program off t thumb drive is possible?

    I'm not certain I want to give up my massive 100 6B drive

    I'm rot in a hurry ebay bids take patience

    Nope. The eDGe is running Android on an ARM processor, so no chance of emulating Windows. It will run a VNC client to log into a Windows machine, but it will only run Android programs natively. And half of those don't work, due to some oddness with the slower hardware and lack of Google apps and framework. It runs what it runs, but no more. It's great for study - references up on the Android side while note taking on the eInk side. But don't expect too much beyond basics.

    That was what I thought. The good news is that I've repaired the broken screen by tearing unit apart- ripping the glass off of the unit and then reassemble and placing in the rubberized hardcase using that as the top glass and it works! SO, until I get a glass piece shaped and spray glued onto the unit it still works! So the expenditure for this - 6.99 for a torx set with a t8 Much less than an actual used or new unit. (I'm actually feeling rather happy to have made do!)
