I agree that using getting a laptop with no keyboard is a bad idea especially considering the price. As for the lack of an Ethernet port, we have been using a USB network adapter the past two years. We experienced dropped packets and other network problems at the beginning of our 2013 competition season and we no longer trust integrated Ethernet ports for competition use.
