Now i was thinking of going down this line as it might be a better idea than a laptop for onboard ship. The only time the laptop is portable is when flying or the occsional adventure down the pit to try and talk to something rs232 style since i know more about hyperterminal than almost anyone onboard.

You don't know if it has a 220/110v power supply

Will it fit in a big suitcase

thanks for the tips
