Don't know too much about tablets, but sounds like the NVidia Shield http://shield.nvidia.co.uk/
You're going to be that weird guy in the coffee shop playing video games that keeps leaning, ducking and bobbing around in his seat aren't you?....
Wait a hot minute for the new ones to release and grab anything with a Skylake processor. Intel really upped their iGPU game with that lineup, nothing else holds a candle to it.

Nothing really to do with the tablet thing but I would love E D to be on the WiiU - the gamepad with it's screen as the UI screens and the HUD in glorious 3D on the plasma - good excuse to keep the grand-kids off MarioCart8.
Seconded, The Wii U is ideal for ED.
A tablet does not have the horsepower to run Elite.
As insanephoton says the Shield is probably your best option.

Lol ED could run on a smartphone. The shield is getting long in the tooth and the Tegra processors have a habit of throttling after overheating, when they aren't just melting the tablet. Skylake is on the horizon. Any Skylake with an Iris 550 or 540 iGPU will be fine.

Currently, any tablet capable of running Moonlight will work well to stream the game.
On a Windows tablet, just install Steam on both host and client machines and use Steam in-home streaming to stream the game. You don't even need to have bought Elite on Steam; you can add it as a non-Steam game and stream it with no issues.
A Surface Pro 3 should be able to run the game natively at decent framerates as well.

I run ED on a SP3. I have to use low graphics settings but otherwise it's fine. It works best when docked and on an external monitor etc though. When I am away for work I bring my joystick with me and those dull hotel bound evenings fly by.
The SP3 isn't really a tablet though. It's a full computer that converts to a tablet. With the added bonus of being the only machine (that I know of) to offer a proper handwriting experience. It's quite revolutionary.

I don't know, but perhaps the mods could move this to the CQC Forum?
Aspirin.
Because CQC is a headache!

Pretty sure a Surface Pro would happily run Elite.
Easily, and the Surface Book too if the keyboard is bolted on. Lots of ports and when you get blown up you can take out the frustration on the hinge
Troll thread is troll. Elite isn't playable on a tablet. Star Citizen... however... is specifically designed to not only play on a tablet, but excel on one using interactive mode. You can literally be a pro star citizen gamer with one while the poor joystick peasants work the crops.
The nVidia shield could stream it from a geoforce enabled PC over a local network (via steam), possibly over 4g too, not something I have personal knowledge.
A windows 10 PC (desktop or laptop) could stream a feed from an Xbox One I believe, not sure about their tablets but I don't see why not.
