Re: E12 Classmate
I'm not intent on the Classmate. Actually, I'm promoting having backup driver stations, and it just seems like a good idea that one of those backups should be the "stock" system that FIRST provided and most teams use. At least we can be confident that power is provided on the field for the Classmate, which is not true for any other laptop you might choose (unless it just happens to use the same connector, voltage, and polarity).
Care to provide any more specs on the Acer system you use? It sounds like a good one, and some teams might want to go a similar route.
