Windows still costs more than that; Microsoft is practically giving the small-device versions of Windows away as they want to ward off Linux/Android.
It should already have Bluetooth, in which case you can buy a BT keyboard and mouse and the guys don't need to worry about wires getting caught during movement and damaged (as long as they don't lose those peripherals...) I don't recommend getting the 2GB RAM version as it is quite limiting, but you can see that the 4GB version is still a great deal at $140 USD, and it should be fast enough for most general PC use. And according to pictures it runs on 5V so you can just get a 12V->5V regulator (I'm assuming that it uses maybe 6 Amps?) to run it without an AC inverter. You may need to do a bit more research to find a monitor that runs off DC. On Sat, Jan 12, 2019 at 6:26 PM Chuck McCown <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > Had no idea they were this cheap. And windows too.
