[Qgis-user] QGIS on tablets

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

I'm (just playing) with this tablet: ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen3
It comes with Windows, but I run Debian Testing on it and I really like it, even the use of the pen.
Not sure about ruggedized cases for it though.

I'm afraid you will end up with the normal ruggedized Windows tablets which are available (and pretty expensive)?

Regards,

The work is recording simple attributes and short text comments onto shapefiles of e.g. wall elevations (up to 20,000 polygons, although these could be split up). There will be geo-tif orthophotos of the wall elevations/plans as well, although these could be lo-res. All processing and analysis will be done in office on a desktop, tablet is just for recording.
