if you're willing to use a long (5M max length) USB cable and your tablet has a USB port, then Canon's SW (Canon Connect) works well and if free. If you'd prefer the advantages (and disadvantages) of a wireless connection, then an EyeFi SD card in the SD slot works relatively well. The range is short and anything other than JPEGs take some time to transfer the image, but relatively easy to implement and not too expensive (around $60-$70 as I recall). Canon make a very expensive WiFi adapter for the 5D3, but last time I checked, it was ~$600. BTW, the new Canon low cost WiFi card does not work with the 5D3. The other alternative is a CamRanger. Works perfectly, has a fairly long range and includes camera control (which you may find useful for other applications) and is about $300. Those are the options I've been able to identify. From time-to-time, other cheaper CamRanger-like products have been advertised, but all that I've investigated were in crowd-funding or pre-production status - that may have changed in the last few months.

Thanks Trix going the extra mile with plenty of suggestions.
I have an old HP duo core PC with a 23" LG I think I might use. It to has only 2 gigabyte of RAM maximum of 4 gigabyte but I don't think it's worth upgrading really. It's very slow. I had an old version of Lightroom 5.6 that I installed this morning on it and the tethering works fairly quickly. The wait happens when I try to zoom in at 100%. I guess I'll just have to deal with that.
One more question. I'm thinking of springing for the 15 foot USB cable. Would this cable be fine for this purpose?
