Why not use the Classmate?

The classmates are a good option for basic play. But if you are doing more advanced vision processing, multiple cameras, or more than the average, an Ultrabook is the route to go. You don't have to log in and out of a user to use a DS. The list goes on.

Thanks for the input.

We'll have to buy a new battery for an old Dell dual core. of course I've seen some posts about using a Raspberry for onboard vision processing.
