You can run windows xp on these little devices. Setup a network drive back to your main PC so all data is not locally saved on the device. Should work like a champ. You can also upgrade these things by yourself. Put larger SSDs in them, more Ram. they run off an external powerpack. you can get larger batteries for them if needed.
I think this would be the easier option than messing with linux based devices such as the RPis...
Yeah, but by the time you option it up you may as well use a full blown laptop.
