Which do you prefer?

Of the latest computers being sold by 3Shape, there are apparently two different OS. I don't know if theres a choice or just 'take what you get', but which would you want?
Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit/ Windows 8 Pro, 64bit

I'm having trouble with windows 8 so I'd go with 7.


You should have a dedicated computer for scanning so you don't need all the app crap.

The OS isn’t really what the issue is, but it isn’t helping. You definitely want at minimum a unit with 8gb of RAM, a nvidia geforce 700+, and an intel i7 processor

My D700 won't work when i have a external backup connected. anyone have this problem ?

I had it on constant back up.would it work if I change that or do I have to remove it completely?

 

[CreDes]

I have windows 8 on mine. I have not had any issues.

 

[eovin]

I recommend 7 I heard some glitch or error still can't figured out with Win8

Any 64-bit OS will give you better memory & processing capability. Win 7 looks & feels a lot more like win XP if you are familiar with that. Win 8 introduced an APP type screen with no traditional "Start" menu so its like learning how to use windows all over again.

My most recent laptop came with win 8 and it's annoying - I'd rather use Win 7.

If you looking for pure ease of use & familiarity w/ older version of windows then go w/ 7. If you are okay w/ learning some new workflows on a different looking windows then try win 8.

we have one of both from 3Shape.

Either one has been fine for me.

nothing wrong with that. just ensure the scanner is connected to a USB port in the back, and the backup drive is connected in the front - a separate usb bus.

It kinda says both ; )

Operating system: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64bit/ Windows 8 Pro, 64bit

 

[CoolHandLuke]

but it cannot come with both. that would be useless.

 

[Sam-CAP]

It totally comes with with windows 8 I'm almost certain.

but it cannot come with both. that would be useless.

I don't know why it shows both 7 and 8, unless theres a choice. Ive only spent a few moments on my daughters computer that's windows 8...I didnt like it. Is there a reason why you guys at CAP (or anyone else) has gone with 8, or 8.1 rather than 7?

 

[CoolHandLuke]

8.1 at least has a Start menu again.

still buggy and glitchy as all hell.

i'd sooner have 8.1 than 8, for sure. but i'd sooner 7 than 8.1

 

[eyeloveteeth]

8.1 is significantly less buggy. I would pick the 2nd computer with a 4th Gen i7 over the 3rd gen i7
