I just bit the bullet and ordered a Panasonic Toughbook. It is a Refurbished model CF-29. This meets military specs and is able to handle rough use, including water being dumped on the keyboard. This has a 13.3 inch touch screen, and CDROM drive. It is viewable in direct sunlight. The size and sunlight viewing was important to me. The Priority1 and it's "Over The Hill Gang Crew", needs all the help it can get. Getting by without a chartplotter all this time had to hinder my shallow water program. Fair warning to Saginaw Bay Walleye," Watch Out Now". We can even play tunes while viewing the plotter. Heck!!! I just gotta burn the Fish On Song.
I'm going to add a Garmin Color FF also. Gotta make a call to a friend on a demonstrator.
My LMS 350 Lowrance Will either come off or move to a less prominent spot. It served me well. We always had a tough time seeing it untill the sun got high enough. Once the sun was high in the sky, the hardtop shaded it.
I just built a new PC for my bride. Her 10 yo P3 was a lil slow. Ya have to do a few things on the home front to be able to get away with more on the boat.
