Old survey gear were a pair of Lenovo T61s. I purchased a connect-a-desk (http://tinyurl.com/4jjg6w) after my first few survey’s w/ the T61 cuz, well, they’re heavy.
I’ll 2nd the Surface Pro 3. I didn’t go the mouse option, cuz I’m not sure how that would work. I did get an enclosure w/ a hand grip, the Incipio Capture (http://tinyurl.com/pofnyf7) - its not bad, the hand grip is really nice, but its construction materials could be better, IMO. The Surface will eventually start to feel heavy, but it isn’t as extreme a workout as the T61s were & the hand grip on the Incipio is nice. 2nd Survey Laptop is a Dell Latitude E7450. Its nice & light, but I'll still use the connect-a-desk w/ it on long surveys for ease of use. Both of them have Fluke’s multi-adpater kit & I have one of their Spectrum Analyzer USB cards that I can swap back & forth as needed. Thinking about getting a Wi-Spy DBx & Channalyzer just to have another spectrum option available.
