I throw a laptop in my tractors for field records (and sometimes CP browsing). The ones I have are tired and frankly about done.
I found these refurbished Surface Gos that are pretty cost efficient.

I think it will work, but I haven't paid any attention to any hardware specs at all in a long time. Years ago when Chromebooks came out, they wouldn't run Office.
I'm not needing anything crazy, just some excel sheets and dropbox. I am using Office 360 so it should be pretty low impact.
What do you guys think?

You can find deals. I'm not big on the touch screens and used a Dell Latitude 5421 at work for the last few years. Picked up one on fleaBay for $235 with Win11 Pro. I5-11400H, 32GB Ram, 512GB SSD, 14" screen. Seems like a good replacement for my old tower Phenom II X6 system.
