I do not have any experience with this device. However, I would recommend to operate it with Linux. 2 GB Ram could be relatively tight for a Windows based host computing 4 WUs simultaneously.
----------------------------------------A rapid search on Internet brought me the following thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion...nux-USB-boot/td-p/2217942 Surely interesting to test, if some free time would be available. Enjoy, Yves |

The same specs as the spec exist in a few tablets that retail for about two hundred.
It will work fine with Windows, but better with Linux. Avoid most tablets though, unless specifically enabling the screen to switch off. Especially avoid HP tablets; as the case will literally warp enough to soon become a fire hazard. It's interesting that some of these four core tablets are able to do better than quite the number of I3 chips |

It'll be fine, but if you run Linux, install lm-sensors. This will let you view your CPU temperature from the terminal by typing sensors. Useful if you're getting too hot.
