At the moment, when visiting trade exhibitions, I can two heavy portfolio folders showing the products that I represent. I also carry print-outs of a couple of rather large spreadsheets full of data that invariably is useful in discussions with clients. Because the portfolio is heavily reliant on large and clear images and I need the text on the spreadsheets to be large enough to read easily, I've shied away from netbooks on the grounds of screen size. I carry my laptop, but don't use ot too much because it takes a while to power up and is somewhat cumbersome. But a tablet - now that could be the answer, provided it powers up quickly, has at least 8 hours battery life, preferably 10 hours (and I mean in real life, not in some silly bench test) and has a large screen with good resolution. And an intuitive interface. Am I asking too much? Oh, and not too pricey, please and thank you.
