That keyboard would kill it for me....

Is a lot of support disappearing for windows 7 and is there enough memory available to upgrade the OS if needed?

 

I ask because I don't know.

 

It looks a good price but I think it would be too small for me, particularly for mapping and the keys look minute.

We use similar to this but basically same but slightly newer and better spec

If you fancy a go I am not that far from you

Why not get an iPad, put it in a lifeproof fre case which shock, dust, snow & waterproof & buy office 365?

Sorry for the confusion. I already have a tablet; waterproof xperia that I am happy with, though I need to get a proper surveying app at some point. I am using a free one at the moment which has been sufficient so far: Kobotoolbox.

I was just wondering if the toughbook with a full edition of windows might be useful for someone as it is quite cheap.

Ipad with the case was my second choice when I decided to buy my tablet:-)

I know that Island Lescure is looking for more than a tablet but... if you were to be looking for a rustproof, shockproof, snow proof, waterproof tablet then the Panasonic Toughpad has to be the one for the job. And what a wonderfully over the top promotional video they made: [ame]
