I run all my set-up from an ACER Aspire one, 11.1"...pretty much like an eepc. Sure it's not power packed but has plenty of ability to do the job I require so far.
However I cannot see how to easily mount this on my mount or OTA, I have to be within a few meters of the mount to run USB/RS232 cables to it.
I even built a DIY +12V DC/4 port USB (powered) distribution hub and mounted this on the OTA/dovetail. This runs all my on-board equipment from the Acer via one USB cable (although I capability for another USB cable). I also use BT wireless for RS232 control......but It would be much simpler to have a mini system on the mount that can do all this, connected by Ethernet, run it from a lappy from any distance.
Of course Dew controller power is kept far away from all this at the front of my OTA.
Anyway that's my opinion...mileage may vary depending upon your equipment and this is growing!
