In that case, look at an Amstrad NC100, 150 or 200.
After yesterday's post, I went searching eBay. No 200s, one 150, but
/loads/ of 100s and they typically sell for under a tenner!
Has Protext and BBC BASIC in ROM. I'm wondering if there's any way to
get modern Flash media working in one...

Understood. Actually, what I'm looking for is something of a comparable
size to the Z88 (in which I'd include the Tandy 100s) and a flat and not
clamshell design. I found when using the Z88 that I could carry on
working without putting a 'barrier' up between myself and others, which
is what a laptop effectively does. So be it on a table or lying by the
pool (which I intend to do a lot of!) the fact that I'm using a
computing device is pretty much disguised.
I'll reiterate that having a screen viewable in bright daylight
conditions is an absolute must. That seems to narrow down the selection
quite extensively...
Thanks for all the other suggestions. Thanks for the suggestions so far - I guess
I'm maybe looking for those
who have used devices in a similar situation to provide guidance.
Certainly the Tandy 100 series would appear to be an ideal candidate.
