I need something that is useful in the field and for field inspections, meetings, etc. Also, having the ability to open cad files at the job site is a definite plus for me.
I use a Dell430 laptop. It cost me $120 a few years ago - complete with XP sticker. It is hardly any bigger than a tablet, the screen is 12.5", and not much heavier.
The joy of it is that it runs DCad just like a real computer - because it IS a real computer. It is one of the best investments I have ever made, I would need a lot of persuading to get a tablet for this sort of job.
You will be amazed at what can be found out there.......
