What kind of computer you buy is a personal decision. We have found most inspectors prefer laptops over tablet PCs. Between roofs, ladders and crawl spaces you need your hands free during much of your inspection. As a result many inspectors prefer a laptop over a tablet as a more user friendly tool.
Hardware is constanly changing but as of today 7/9/08 we recommend you reviewing the lenovo convertible tablet which gives you both options a “normal” laptop with the “tablet” option - you will find that it offers the best of both worlds. http://shop.lenovo.com
We recommend at least 2GB of RAM with Microsoft Vista and at least 1GB of RAM with Microsoft XP.
eInspections™ will work on any laptop or tablet PC as long as the machine is running a full version of Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista.

Thanks for the help, I have been shopping for the right way for me to go and this looks like it. Your information has been very helpful; it is great to see a company with an attitude of wanting to help and not just promote sales. Thanks again.
