Just thinking, would it be possible to get Android on my PC? (HP laptop dual core AMD)

Hey guys,
I have recently got my hands on a HTC Universal and I was wondering, if I put Linux on there, used a USB host cable modified to have a power supply, and used Linux TV tuner software, could I theoretically have a mobile TV? Just wondering because I happen to have a TV tuner supported by Linux here (Elgato EyeTV Deluxe DTT), which I have tested with my Linux laptop to make sure it works.

Anything is possible with Linux The only problems i see is that you need to have a running Linux distro that the software can run on. Then you run into the issue of not having enough ram. Also the manufacture recommends a 2.0 GHz Intel/AMD CPU or Intel Atom CPU and 1 GB RAM. All things considered it might not be possible.

All right, I'll give it a whirl when my host cable arrives and I modify it, can't wait to try, but I won't be surprised now if it doesn't work.
The title says it all. When Microsoft's Surface drops will I be able to dual boot Windows 8 Pro and some version of Android?

No. Microsoft will enable secure boot on the Surface and restrict it so that no non-Microsoft OS can boot on it. This is true for all Windows RT devices. If you want a dual-booting tablet, you need a x86 one, but those cannot run Android very well.
I know the RT's gonna be a pain, but i was asking Surface Pro with intel chip. Or any Win 8 Pro tablet actually.

I don't see any reason why not as you can dual boot windows 8 pro with any other os its just RT. That said I cant confirm 2 things first that they wont lock the device itself (there is nothing in windows but they could lock the bios etc) and 2nd is finding an x86 version of Android that will run that's not just 2.2 (though I suspect it will take about a day to get it working)

Yeah Microsoft will probably lock the Surface like Motorola locks everything. Also, for x86 android, see http://www.android-x86.org/

How is hyper-v working? I got winxp and ubuntu installed on mine but then I noticed that my cpu would not get off max frequency (on a quad core intel laptop with turbo boost that is VERY bad). I googled the problem and it turns out hyper-v keeps the cpu at max as long as it is installed. Apparently it is just a bug, as it works fine in server 2012. I had to uninstall it until MS releases the fix.

I have no issues with cpu etc running on amd fx 8100 i was running xp but now running windows 7 (32 bit, for exchange 2003 support and VMware while we wait on veeam 6.5) and Ubuntu. I have found quite expectedly that it has an affect on boot times but processor core sit mostly idle - i have assigned 6 cores and they sit almost idle. I still pref VMware overall for main virtual network but for a simple vm on your local machine i have had no issues with hyper v so lets ho;e they get a fix for intel.
My PC of the work is a netbook. It always frustrating me about the speed. I want to know what is better for it. Elementary OS luna, windows 8.1 or Windows 7.
With windows 8.1 and windows 7 I haven't a good experience about the speed. Still very slow for me. I read elementary OS is for a low requisites PC, so can it be my solution? I will try to make a partition with Windows and Elementary OS if you recommend me it to use some utilities of windows and other things like causal things in Luna.
Specifications:
1.66 GHz Intel Atom
1 GB RAM
200 GB Hard Disk (aprox)
A resolution under 1366x768, 1240x768 is the resolution.
Intel Mobile Graphics
More info: Acer Aspire One D260
Can you help me?
Thanks!!!
Hi, I am interested in buying a cheapo windows 8.1 with bing tablet and need help picking one from ebay. I will want to format and clean OS install
Can I have a recommendation on a model.. Budget no more than $300 Australia Dollars or around the 240 US.$
I am an IT techie so I know the ins and outs of installing os onto laptops and desktops.. i inderstand BIOS's and understand technology fairly well.
Tho never actually used a portable windows device. Do most of these devices have bios like a desktop? Startup selection hdd vs usb hdd etc?
I will want to end up deleting the recovery... Delete the android os if included and install 8.1 with bing clean, or eventually purchase a 8.1/10 pro for business use.
If I can have some info on whats good and whats not, i would really appreciate that.
Chuwi Vi10 64GB + Keyboard around $255 shipped to Australia from Gearbest.com
Cheapest one I could find. I myself is wanting this tablet, but might want to wait till Cherry Trail tablets are out.
Currently have a Voyo A1 Mini 8" Tablet. Win10 TP, removed android.
can you tell me how you went about doing this?
do these hand helds operate like a computer? same sort of bios settings?
how do you enter bios on your model?
is it anything like changing roms for mobile phones like samsung galaxy for example where you need USB cable connected and download roms onto it? or it is actually a fairly simple operation?
you can install drivers? where did you source them from?
any other comments would be great...

I look into it as a handheld portable PC.
UEFI is what most Windows Tablet is using.
Installation, operation and use is exactly as you would expect it as with other Windows PCs, limited to its own hardware, and/or the OS you put on it. Search Ubuntu/Linux on chinese tablets.
You should do your assignments more before delving into this.
On a personal level, I can see myself selling my i3 15.6" laptop (I only retro game, and used mainly for Java, Visual Studios and non-hardware heavy) and my Voyo A1 Mini tablet, to get a good 2-in-1 PC. I need/want a more compact portable PC. And same as you, I've got a VERY limited budget.
To share to you my current requirements (deal-breakers if not met), and must not be lower/missing, to completely replace the said above PCs:
1. 64GB internal capacity (eMMC 5.0, better yet SSD) (higher capacity will be more than welcome)
2. HDMI output
3. Dock-in Keyboard supported (hate bluetooth keyboards)
4. At least 1 FULL USB slot (hoping a USB C tablet will be released soon)
5. A dedicated power input socket
6. Have decided to wait for Cherry Trail CPUs (hoping to be released end of September to holiday season)
7. Decent capacity for battery
8. 2GB Ram for an x86 OS (4GB on x64 OS) (more is more than welcome)
Optional:
Keyboard dock to have output sockets too (usb), built-in battery. similar to Asus T100. Hopefully newer tablets will have full x64 OSes.
Still.. to each their own, on how they'll be using the device/s.
hello I have an .iso of windows xp tablet edition from 2005, how can I put this disk image onto the tablet to turn it into an PC? This is hypothetically work since it is an operating system meant for tablets I think. pls let me know if you come across anything thanks!
You can't. The most you could do is maybe run it in a virtual machine, but there is no version of Windows that'll natively run on these tablets (as of yet), especially not one that's nearly 20 years old that doesn't support any of the modern Android hardware platforms.
