I may try a Linux bootable drive at some point, but I have doubts as to how well it will work on the Asus T100, something tells me the hardware is just to specific for Linux to deal with in a standard installation......

Just a quick update (while witing for endless Win updates on various home computers):

• In case someone wonders: I gave up on Linux on the Asus T100 without trying, Github and others too discouraging. A shame really.
• A 1368x768 screen is smallish for working with SH3D. Small projects, like a room, fine. Bigger projects, both 2D and 3D up seem too small. However, that is easily fixed by hooking up to an external screen or TV.
• Speed is satisfactory for my kind of file sizes (compact). In fact, it outperforms computers with higher specs. The fast Micro SD card may contribute to that.
• For SH3D on tablet alone, see other comments. Not ideal, but usable for fixing and rearranging furniture. And also for viewing and showing your design to others. Which means, this combination of Win 8.1 tablet and SH3D is a very good idea when going to a project site [:)] Attach the keyboard and a mouse, and you can keep drawing in the most cramped of spaces (read Ryanair).
• So it is very affordable (price now dropped). With such a tablet (and an extra screen or TV + mouse) you are really all set to do pretty nice SH3D stuff (and most other things).

In fact, I am so happy with this little piece of hardware that it quite unexpectedly became my main computer. I no longer even bother to boot my other (more expensive) PCs, but have come to rely solely on this little thing for all my work. In part that is because I like a small keyboard, and love fan-less silence. And the few times I use other PCs, I rely on portable installations on the Micro SD to shift to another workspace.
