What to buy.

I need one for work.
I need it to work with my 17 inch mac book pro. (Transfer info back and forth between them would be a big plus)
It is a very dirty work environment so my 17 inch mac pro is not working out there.
Going to do e-mail / and set up a CMMS preventive maintenance program on it.
Also do research on the web daily.
Small portable unit with a good screen.
Might even consider some sort of tablet or i-pad, something smaller and compact.
Need to be able to use a windows program on it.
Budget of 500.00.
Wireless data transfer between the two computers would be cool.
Also would be good to have a camera to take photo's on back side.

 

Need a small windows tablet to work with a preventive maintenance program.

 

I'm sorry to say there aren't many laptops out there with a ''backside camera'' to take photos. I guess you'd be better off with a tablet, maybe a Lenovo one? A friend has one of those and works great. If something bad happens to it you'll not feel so bad since those tablets aren't that expensive.
