Hello all
I am thinking about buying some mini laptops for use in a gallery space
with family groups and am wondering if anyone has had any experience,
positive or negative, of a specific mini laptop, PDA, UMPC or palm-top
computer? There are quite a few out there and any advice about which to
avoid or which are good would be great. The families will follow a trail
around the gallery space, which would be a flash file. The computers
won't need to have a big memory capacity but ideally a big enough screen
to see properly, and speakers so that there can be audio content on the
trail. There would also need to be at least one USB port. We already
have Samsung UMPC trails for schools operating at one of our museums but
I want to use different technology for the family trails if possible so
if you could share your thoughts it would help me a lot. Thanks in
advance!
Kind regards
