So I guess the first question is needs, followed closely by budget. Basically, how much bang per pound? Do I intend to use this as a mobile programming/educating station for myself. Battery should last a few hours, but doesn’t need to run the whole day. Gutless is fine, but I do prefer me The Juice. VALHALLA! Small because I’m lazy, no ten key is needed. Should I look into building my own? Grab a display and battery, solder a keyboard from parts, strap it all to a Beaglebone?
Oohhh… I could strap a Sparkfun Thing to give me wifi and battery charging circuit. Now that’s just dirty. That’s shiny and chrome right there.
