Current computers in use: The ideal tablet is lightweight with a bright, outdoor-readable screen. We currently use the Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 We also purchase a high-capacity lithium ion battery for each of our tablets. Between this battery and the standard battery, you can run the tablet all day without any problems. Otterbox We have one of these but it is rarely used since it is heavy and bulky. Fujitsu Case We like this lightweight case for the tablet. Pelican Case We also like the pelican cases for travel and storage. These pelican cases provide a specialized interior for the case that allows us to store the charger, extra batteries, etc directly in the case. Mention of trade names or commercial products in this webpage is solely for the purpose of providing specific information and does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
