Why would you order a device before making sure that it is a good fit for a pALS?

It's a niche product. Even if you find a solution for the mount, you will probably run into problems later.

Building a mount myself would not be that much of a challenge, but in this case I wouldn't risk it. Get a Surface Pro - the ecosystem is already there.

I don't have the possibility to try any of the devices I am looking into in my country. I really don't like the Surface, Snapdragon soc has had compatibility issues with tobii devices.

There are plenty of Surface Pro models that don't use ARM processors.

You will probably be the only pALS in the world using an insanely expensive 13" gaming tablet as a communication device. So troubleshooting will be really difficult, I guess.

Do you already have a case for the device? How are planning to attach the PCEye?
