Can anyone tell me if the above Tablet will run DSDPlus any version? Trying to find something small for mobile applications. Thanks.

Generally speaking if it runs Windows it will run Windows applications, of which DSD+ is one.

Get something other than an Atom 2nd / 3rd gen i5 or higher works. I am basing this off of SDRTrunk use, resource hungry but have had it running on an i5 2nd gen Samsung slate which I picked up for $60 CAD but 3rd or 4 th gen much better I have not used DSD but I would imagine its resource hungry too. Hope this helps .

If it is windows OS, it should run DSD+. If you are thinking fastlane, you need more horsepower and memory.
You can get an i5 with 8 Gb ram used for under $100 US.
Of course you need to install dongle drivers. dongle, etc.
On the go, you will need a "Y" OTG cable and like the battery packs.
Dongles drain internal batteries quick.

Thanks everyone, you guys saved me from wasting my time and money. So I think I will pass on the Dell and look for something like an i5 or even an i3.

Good idea. I have it's Android cousin, the Venue 10 5050. It is a hunk of hot garbage. I can't imagine the 5055 would have any higher quality.

I would not discount that tablet as useless. A good use-case would be the head on a headless system, a la vnc or rdp, teams, teamviewer, etc. The resolution is all there. Plenty of real estate to see a 1920x1080 screen and your local taskbar.

I agree with others that say it wont do much as a server type computer, but great as a remote client to check up on routers, switches, raspberry pis, etc. My goto vnc setup is tightvnc
