Can a chrome book/box be used with DA imaging. I’m not sure about their operating system
Chromebooks are not a supported platform. They use the Chromium OS and a special version of Chrome. Only macOS and Windows running chrome are supported for acquiring images for imaging.
Does the 15" monitor requirement only hold true for workstations? Can a laptop with a smaller screen work just as well? A simple 14" Lenovo is a lot less expensive than anything > 15".
@DLinkSC,
It will work fine as long as the screen resolution is at least 1024 x 768, but you get a better experience with a 15" because, at the same resolution, the text and buttons on a 14" will be smaller.
