I'm having some problems with my now almost 5 year old Asus UL20 laptop that I use in the field. Still works fine, just showing its age and starting to run like crap. But it's small and light and the battery lasts nearly 5 hours while I'm sitting at a site with the guys on the tower putting up radios and stuff. I've thought about throwing some more RAM in it, maybe an SSD and then reload everything. Or...

One of the guys just got an HP tablet. Not sure exactly which one. I thought it was ARM based. But apparently it supports USB OTG, which is cool, throw a USB ethernet adapter on it. There's the HP Stream 7 for under $100. Quad-core Atom with full Windows 8.1, 32-bit, but who cares. I think I'm just gonna do that instead. Then I can still run Winbox, SiteMonitor Manager for those old Base-1's out there and other stuff that only works on x86.

Anybody know of something better?
