Mobile Version Requirements?

Greetings! So I'm setting up a projector system for my games and plan on having a tablet or netbook or something that will be hooked up to the projector as a player in my games. I was looking around for options and noticed  this thing . It would massively simplify the construction of my projector system, but I'm not sure if it has the specs to run Roll20 smoothly. Can anyone tell me if it's worth getting this thing or should I just take the safe route and grab something else?

It should run roll20 but not all the functions will be easy to use but mobile support is getting better. It will be running android jellybean and has a decent cpu and ram for a mobile device. I run roll20 on my phone and it has a lesser cpu and ram than what you list for that device.

It will also require you to be a paid subscriber also.
Also check out its brightness. 40 lumens would be enough if its almost directly against a wall, but in normal lighting you'll get a dim screen at about 22"
Which I will be more than happy to be as soon as my tablet comes in. (If not sooner :P) As I said, in terms of actual game management I don't need the thing to do much. I'll be using my laptop as my GM screen, this just needs to be able to project what I want the players to see. Really glad to see Roll20 has the ability to focus all players on a specific part of the map, I'll be putting that to good use.  Thanks for the info! Sounds like I'll be ordering one of these tablets.

That might be a problem then. I'll be suspending the thing above our gaming table, so it might need to be higher than that. I'd still like to run with a tablet (mostly just for the same of having one) so do you have any suggestions for a relatively cheap projector that would work well? I'd love to grab Chromecast but I'm in Canada and as far as I can tell it isn't available here yet. ):
