Re: game use platform

The game will not run natively on an iPad, Android or WindowsRT tablet.

So you have two options.

1) Get a Windows Tablet with a dedicated GPU.. problem is there are VERY few on the market.. I can think of that Razer Edge thing and that's it.

740m 750m mobile GPU is about where you'd probably want to look performance wise for a decent but not perfect experience.

Small and mobile... you are sacrificing performance and eye candy to achieve this. 

2)  Stream it from a desktop PC to your tablet... you are entering uncharted waters because no1 has tried it with PvZ and posted about it that I have seen.  My GPUs are old and do not have a dedicated decoder... I believe GTX 650 and above models have one.... You would need to look at the specs required for a setup using SplashTop, Limelight, Kainy I think... there are a few more including nVidia's proprietary one (shield/shieldtablet)

You need excellent WiFi for this to work.  If you use a Bluetooth controller... depending on the tablet that could hurt wifi and/or the controller significantly.  5ghz will have it's own antenna.. and it's faster.. but it doesn't have the range or penetration.

 --------------

Problems either way.. if you are technical minded you can achieve either one but you have to have the right expectations.
