In the last few weeks I have had the opportunity to visit with a few service repair facility owners. Many of them have purchased new computers for their repair facility. A few have even purchased laptops than run an Android operating system. These laptops are around $400 which makes them attractive. While these computers will run ProDemand because it is an internet based tool they will not run Manager because Manager only operates on Windows. Save yourself the money and purchase a Microsoft Windows based machine.
The term Android can refer to either an Android mobile device or to the Android operating system. The Android operating system powers all Android devices. Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device (your phone and/or tablet) what to do, much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers.
When you install an Android app onto an Android device, you are installing an app that was written specifically for the Android operating system. Manager was written to be used on Windows.
