    Do you have a way to determine (from a batch file or other scripting language) if a computer is a desktop (separate monitor, mouse and kbd) vs. a laptop, tablet, etc. (integrated monitor, mouse and kbd)?

    Hey Everyone!

    I'm going to be a senior in high school next year, and I'm going to be a Computer Science major, in addition to being a Piano Performance major.

    Currently, i have an iPad that is given to me until i graduate high school, and i love it. I've built custom PC's before, but currently I'm just using an old Compaq laptop.

    I'm debating as to which type of computer I want..
    I will need a desktop for my dorm room, in addition to either a laptop or a tablet for around campus, when i'm home, etc....

    I don't know if I should get an iMac or similar Apple desktop for my dorm room, and then a PC laptop to take around, most of my work for computer science will be done in the labs provided to me by the school. I'll also probably have an iPhone...so I'll definitely want some sort of a Mac laptop or computer or tablet...

    The other choice is building another custom PC desktop and then purchasing either a new iPad or a MBP/MBAir....

    In my dorm room, i'd love to be able to use AfterEffects, Gimp, Photoshop, etc.

    Any thoughts or comments would be really appreciated, thank you so much!

    Thanks so much! I'm going to need both a desktop and a laptop however. Would you suggest that I get an iMac in addition?

    Hi Ramesh,

    As per the above description I understand that you are facing issues with accessing the tablet on your laptop. Correct me if I am wrong.

    Provide us additional information to assist you better with this issue:

    • What is the make and model of your laptop?
    • What exactly happens when you try to access the tablet?
    • What is the complete error message/ error code of this issue?
    • Were you able to detect the tablet on your laptop?

    This issue might have occurred due to driver problems on your computer. Let us try few of the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: If the device is not detected on your computer try to run
    Hardware and Devices troubleshooter as it checks for common problems and makes sure that any new device or hardware connected to your PC is installed correctly.

    • Press Windows key from the keyboard, type
      Troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner of
      Troubleshooting window.
    • Select the Hardware and Device
      options from the list.

    Also visit the Telecast support site and check if there is any drivers/firmware for your device model. If so install it and then check if you are able to connect to PC.

    Hope it helps. Try the above and update us the status of accessing the tablet for further assistance.
