Omni hardware- pc or iPad?

Hey all.

I’m preparing to acquire my square Omni and am assessing the necessary hardware.

I presently use a skytrak with my MacBook Air, connecting it to my projector with consistent success. Because square lacks a Mac application, I’m determining my optimal approach. I do not plan to use GSPro or pursue graphics-heavy tasks, nor do I wish to invest extensively.

Would using an iPad limit any capabilities compared to a PC?

If I choose a PC, could a highly basic model suffice?

I understand iPad applications can run on a Mac. Has anyone tested this?

I value any insights.
