Hardware recommendations for displaying Evocon shift view

Each company has their preferred way of buying computers or mobile devices. As different countries and companies may have better deals on computer hardware and local technical support is vital to keep devices running, Evocon does not sell computers or devices. That being said, this document outlines hardware suggestions that have worked for our customers.

We believe that good tools are essential. It is worth it to pay 100€-200€ per device more today than have the users waste time due to slowness and bad user experience for the next 3+ years.

Having a slow PC or tablet after one year of use while saving a few hundred euros today loses much more productivity, and operator willingness to insert data and reduces cooperation in the long run.

For a PC, buy a new or up to 2 years old PC.

• Get a Core i3, i5 or i9 or Ryzen processor. Avoid Intel Atom, Celeron and Core Duo.

• If you only run Evocon on that PC, 8GB RAM is enough. If other demanding software is run on that PC, think about 16GB for future-proofing.

• FullHD (1080p, 1920x1080) monitor is a bare minimum. The diagonal size should be 24 inches or more.

  • Use a 4K monitor if more than 1 shift view should be shown on the monitor. 4K monitor or TV is a must for "grid view", where multiple shift views are shown at once.

• Ensure you get an SSD (not HDD) version with 128GB.

• DELL Optiplex Micro is a good option if you want a small computer.

  • The minimum specification will work if it is a model from the past 2 years. They cost 400..600€.

• For larger desktops, look at DELL Optiplex (not micro). They should be ~100€ cheaper just because they are bigger.

For a tablet, we recommend Apple iPads.

• The current or last generation iPad (priced around 350€ new) has much more power than anything else on the market in the same price range. The user experience is excellent and snappy. It can be limited to only show Evocon as described below: Setting up Evocon on Android and iOS tablets and mobiles

  We suggest you buy a rugged case for the iPad to protect it from accidental damage. Here are a few options:
