Add another tally mark to the number of Nexus 7 recommendations. It is dual band, light, and fast. For android software we use Ekahau Mobile Survey primarily since we can import our maps from Site Survey. Wifi Analyser and eBITS are also good. I do my serious analysis on an XPS 12, sometimes in tablet mode even, but that plus the Nexus 7 make a nice team.
If you are using inSSIDer, you will like Chanalyzer Pro. Great for finding interference, and with an XPS 12 or Yoga you can use it in tablet mode.
