Title: Modern equivalent of Casiopeia A-20E?
Post by: Spyro543 on April 26, 2013, 09:29:04 am
I just watched a review of the Cassiopeia a-20E pocket computer, and I thought it was a really nice device, but it's really really outdated. What are some good, inexpensive, modern counterparts of the A-20E? (Tiny computers with physical keyboards that run Windows) (a netbook, perhaps?)

I'd go for a netbook. Nowadays those things aren't that expensive anymore. I've been using a netbook for a while now and it has really payed itself back. Don't expect them to run crysis, however.

These type of devices have largely been replaced by cellphones and tablets.  A tablet running windows (with a stand/keyboard would probably be the closest thing. You could look at cellphones too, but i dont know if any of the windows ones have keyboards. For portable devices, the android platform seems more popular by far.

*Edit* It's also funny you should mention this particular model, because I was looking around at pocket pcs on ebay and this one happened to catch my eye.
