Different types of driver stations.

Question does anyone use a tablet/computer hybrid for their driver station or use anything else that is not the typical laptop?

Re: Different types of driver stations.

We used a small format desktop computer (Intel NUC) and a touchscreen monitor for a year because our grant couldn't be used on laptops. We had a battery pack to run it all but having a SSD meant the boot up times were fast enough that we could plug it in at the field. I wouldn't recommend it, try to keep things simple.

Re: Different types of driver stations.

We use a Lenovo hybrid. We use it in laptop mode while in a match, and flip it to tablet to draw out match strategies in paint before a match. I'd love to see a windows app designed for specifically that. However given the limited market that it would be for, paint works just fine.
