We have been using the Panasonic tough books to some effect. Very light but mounting is, as always, a bit of a problem.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Paul Nisbet Sent: 08 January 2009 17:20 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: tablet PC recommendations Can anyone recommend a good Tablet PC? It's for a pupil with a spinal injury who uses a chin joystick very effectively. He has a 15" laptop mounted on a trolley which works well when he's static but we want a smaller, lighter, wheelchair-mounted option - the screen needs mounted high up and if we used the laptop he wouldn't see anything else. I was thinking a tablet PC would be ideal. He would be using it for games, writing, internet and maybe ECS. Any thoughts folks? Paul _______________________________________________ Paul D.
