What’s up guys! Kinda like the title says, I’ve been an apple person my whole life. I have MacBooks iPads and iPhones. I’ve been doing my research and it seems I need a windows platform to be able to use Hondata flash pro and get into its software. I saw someone post somewhere a tablet that should work that was about $100. Anyone know of A good cheap tablet that will work with all of hondatas software?? Thanks!

Coming from the Apple ecosystem, the tablet above should be more then reasonable in price......:p

Just use your Mac? You can use boot camp to install a Windows OS onto that partition. I did that with my 2017 MBP. Most universities give you windows 10 for free. There’s other ways you could procure a license for Windows and install through boot camp. This all cost me nothing to have Hondata on my Mac.

My Mac is old and untrustworthy, and I’m not good with this stuff. I’d rather spend the extra $100 for something easier

If you just want to spend $100 send them my way, I’ll help you setup a virtual machine with windows in your Mac, easier than boot camp and even the most untrustworthy Mac would run it.

He's saying he could install a virtual machine for you.

It's not hard.

I did it with my Mac utilizing VMWare and install a Windows OS. I no longer care for apple products lately so I have a Windows laptop.

Anyway if your somewhat savy just install a vm...if not pay for it to be done or do like the other options above

Instead of burning money on a garbage tablet I’d spend the $100 or so on a windows licenses. We won’t be able to give you the full details , but you should create either a

1. Virtual Machine with windows within Mac OS
2. Boot camp and make a windows partition.

I’ll try and find you a simple guide. What this does is allow your Mac run windows OS either as a “window” inside Mac OS, or boot into windows like a regular PC

I agree imo. VM is easy. Especially VMware...install it, download a window OS and install is super easy.
