Hi all . I tried to google this but pretty much just got advertisements as answers. I need to find a smaller laptop that has USBc data transfer capability to update meshcore repeater systems. I tried OTA updates on my iphone but the repeater firmware is not where it needs to be. This leaves me climbing on roofs and plugging in to the repeaters . Laptop also needs to be somewhat durable and operate windows internet explorer . I looked at tablets but most dont have usbc data out. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance |

Lenovo Thinkpad series is reasonably robust and newer ones have the USB-C plug. Often you can get them used from off-lease. Same with Dell Business off lease. Lots of these are going to have an aluminum case which is a bit more bump proof than plastic. |
