The Thomson Test Chart will run on any PC running Windows 10 or later.  This includes desktops, laptops and even Windows tablets.  It will not run on MACs unless a PC emulator is installed.

Laptops


For domiciliary work a laptop is ideal. Place the laptop on a suitable flat surface, measure the distance to the patient and enter this into the Thomson Test Chart . The program will then scale everything appropriately for this distance and you have your full set of consulting room tests available wherever you are. The IR remote control is very useful under these conditions as it allows you to control the program from up to 10 metres away.

Some practitioners also use a laptop in the consulting room, either using the laptop display or connecting a separate monitor.

Desktop PCs are generally cheaper than laptops for a given specification. However they do take up a bit more room in the consulting room (although many compact models are now available).

If you are pushed for space, you might consider the Micro systems available from Thomson Software Solutions.
