I think if I was in need of a portable vt100 terminal I?d use either my Raspad

for full out Geek mode or (far more reliable) a small Chromebook as long as I can get a
serial to USB adapter to work. Chromebooks have long battery life and are reasonably
cheap. Also come in various sizes (my current one is a 15? as I need a large screen to see
things?).

p.s. The caveat is of course if you get something
like the Gemini. That looks like a very nice machine but at 599 British pounds I rather
get a Sony UX series and have a real PC or the HP LX200. The key, at least for me, is
finding a no name Android tablet w/ the basics that runs Android 7 or above at that $50 to
$75 price point.
Oh, yes, for a terminal emulator, it's total overkill.
