Well, I'm not, really, it's just that it would be another round of research to find a tablet that fits the need at a decent price. I'd also need to get a mount so that I can use it with one hand, as I'll also be doing slides and the streaming software (via RDP on two other laptops) at the same time.

Yeah, it wasn't a deal-clincher. I just liked the idea of being able to use my Chromebook, which is nice and light, and the battery lasts for about 4 hours. I'm not keen on tablets - I like something you can put down and it'll stay where it's put - but I can see how a touch screen would make the whole job a lot easier. I don't think my fingers and my eyesight are up to using a phone 😆

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like the XR12 is the better option.

Hi, I am looking at installing a remotely controlled PA/sound system in our church hall. Basically I am trying to avoid having wires trailing everywhere because of trip hazard for kids etc. On paper, the Soundcraft ui12 seems a good fit for the mixer in this system as I am unlikely to need more than 12 channels, and I would be able to position it in such a place as to be able to connect to a wired network, and run it off a laptop connected to the same network via wifi. However, there are a lot of negative reviews for this product, mainly noisy pre-amps and network drop outs. However (again) most of these reviews seem to be several years old, and I can't find much in terms of recent reviews or reaction. Does anybody know whether more recent examples are any better? (btw I am already aware of the Behringer XR12, but prefer the ui12 as: a) it's slightly cheaper b) the Behringer has a whole load of digital effects that I would never use c) the Behringer runs off an app, whereas the Soundcraft runs off HTML5, completely platform agnostic)
