windows tablet

[gulfstar37]

All right,

Old lap top with xp has failed. Time to get a new tablet (windows only please) that will run OCPN.

Looking for the following features:
- Touch screen
- Detachable key board (wireless)
- Mouse (wireless)
- Low power consumption (long battery life)
- Large storage. (hard drive or static not cloud)
- Internal real GPS but from what I have been reading on site this may not be possible yet with OCPN at least easily.
- USB ports
- Screen about 12" or less.
- Decent graphics (I do not play video games) From what I have been reading nobody has a bright enough screen to display in sunlight unless high $$.
- blue tooth
- Internet
- Capable of running full Windows Suite package
- Price $800 US or less
- Anything else I should be looking for.

Would like opinions of what's out there and actual use experience / recommendations.

AGAIN WINDOWS OS ONLY

Thanks in advance to all the techies out there.

Have a Dell Latitude 10 (10" display) that is pretty nice. Bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse so I do not need a dongle to use them. I loaded OpenCPN on it and it works ok as long as I have my Garmin GPS hooked up. Have not taken the time yet to figure out how to connect in with the internal GPS. Read some instructions, but it is a project for the future.

It has a single USB port that I connect a 4 port hub in to. 64GB internal SSD and extended with a 64GB HCSD card (built in slot) for storage. I opted not to have internal Broadband on mine, but it is offered if you are so inclined. Great battery life and a very tough tablet. The battery is user removable and mine came with a 30 AH pack. They offer a 60 AH, but I cannot see a need for that yet. I have run mine for a full day on battery watching movies and such with the small one. For cruising, might consider a second battery pack.

The display is bright enough to see in all but the most intense sunlight. In the shade of my jammer it is fine.
