Thanks for your input Dr Croupie.


I have used the Asus eeePC before and just didn't like it very much. That was a while ago and they have probably come a long way since then though. But with a quick check I saw most of those tiny atom machines use 1024x600 resolution screens and that just doesn't work with Windows. Also they are slow as you say so all the more reason they aren't really good with an OS designed for faster machines like Windows 7.


If I would get a laptop/minipc I would probably get something like the Samsung Series 9 or some Asus thin and light 13" laptop but they will cost over $1000 which would be my upper limit price wise. Also as a laptop I would like to find one that is really light (under ~1.5kg or ~3.3lb preferably) with a great screen (at 13" 1440x900 would be great) and really great battery life while still be powerful enough for proper post prosessing.


Also one big reason I'm looking at a tablet device is the instant on capability vs a regular laptop/mini laptop that takes time to boot and the better battery life. I would like at least 8+ hours. (iPad2 can do over 8 hours of web browsing so this shouldn't be too problematic with viewing images I think)


With nVidia Tegra 2 or similar chip I would think an android tablet has plenty of power for viewing and sorting the images and doing minor edits like crop or WB adjustments especially when the OS itself is optimized for the hardware.


I have a 7D and will possibly get a 5DII as a second camera when/if I have the money. I shoot mainly in RAW.


Edit: Ah didn't see your post before posting mine NFLD Stephen, thanks for the suggestion but for the above reasons I think a netbook wouldn't fit my needs. I would primarily review the images while I am on the road, check emails, some light web browsing so a tablet should cover all those. Also they are really cool and a must have thing so that's a big plus vs a netbook []
