I'll be using it for tuning on my turbocharged 2009 Mazda MX-5 (Miata in other parts of the world.)
I started with my existing Lenovo Y460 laptop, which is crap for lugging around in a car seat. it also tends to flop around everywhere and isn't easily tucked into a tight spot. I then borrowed my wife's Surface Pro and it was significantly better. Easy to wedge into the gap between the center console and seat, you can one-hand the screen, and the touch interface makes starting a logging session a cakewalk.
After a bit of research on other forums, it looks like any modern BayTrail or later Atom is more than sufficient. Right now my best options seem to be:
Anything that is Android or iPad isn't an option; the ECUtek software doesn't support either of those operating systems. I might be willing to spend a few extra dollars, but this tablet really has only ONE job -- to rattle around in the car and plug into the programming cable

- Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 8" brand new for $199
- Amazon-certified Refurb'd Dell Venue 8 Pro for $139
