Hi All: I need a field computer that would be capable of running several programs associated with numerous pieces of field equipment including water velocity meters, met stations, YSI sondes, gas analyzers, etc. Some of the rugged small hand-helds are limited by the number of programs they are capable of running. The tough-books get very pricey. Question is "is it worth the expense of purchasing the tough-book, or multiple hand-helds, or a mini-computer in a pelican case"? The unit will be transported and used from a kayak. Any suggestions, especially from people with experience with the tough-books is welcome. Thanks in advance.
