What's a Tablet PC?

Tablet PCs are compact, ultra-portable entertainment devices that let
you read email, surf the Internet, read eBooks, view photos, play games,
listen to music and watch video files. Most tablets are based on a
smaller operating system, which allows you to purchase and download
additional applications from supported stores. Tablet PCs do not have a
CD/DVD drive and will not run Microsoft Windows or its applications.
Tablet PCs function as a secondary device for casual entertainment
purposes, and are not meant to replace a computer. They are ideal for
use around the home and on the go with WiFi or 3-4g mobile broadband
connections (pay as you go, contract may be required for service).

In theory the ARM BASIC EFI can use this as an EFIS display for all you
engine parameters.

No stand alone LCD for micro EFI computers can come close to this
resolution.

Things they are  a changing fast :)

Has anyone looked at the Raspberry pi or Beaglebone Black with a high NIT display on the HDMI port? Seems like perhaps a good EFIS core. Has SD slot, USB, HDMI, network, uart port, some gpio, etc... Certainly missing the 4.3" touchscreen at $50.

Dunno what happened here as pi's keep replicating at my home. They shoulda called it the Tribble device.
