yes i was at the AAAA had a chat with peter and saw the wifi in action, was slow and some times fiddly to connect to. i saw the G-SCAN2 which comes with a 4 channel scope.

Dell latitude d620. I was on iatn and There is a cool set up a guy made with a pico and a windows tablet that's running full windows 8. He made it to be hand held, it's a really nice set up if you want the portability of a hand held. Ill get the link later but you do have to be a member of iatn to see it.

My advice is get one with the best specs you can afford...
I don't know what other software you plan on running, but I got one with big enough hard drive and good enough specs to run all the OE software that I use plus room to grow.

I had a middle of the road laptop, and as pico came out with newer software versions it started freezing up a lot when using pico software.  I remember when pico came out with the software that ran the scope "ten times faster" (I believe it was).  That is about when my computer quit being able to keep up.  It got to the point where I could not save captures over 4,000,000 samples per screen.  And sometimes it would save corrupt if it was above 3,000,000 samples per screen.

I thought it was an isolated event to just my PC, but I have a friend with a middle of the road laptop and it does the same thing on his. 

Now, I have a quad core with 6 gigs of RAM, and I have had no more issues with pico software.  It does whatever I need it to now.
