Hi Roger,

I haven’t looked into ruggedised laptop options much, but I recently added to the following thread, which discusses laptops for the BlueROV2 more generally:

> [@Good laptop/tablet for BlueROV2?](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/good-laptop-tablet-for-bluerov2/496):
>
> What laptop / tablet are people using with the “advanced electronics” version of the BlueROV2? Ideally, it should have a very bright screen (400+ nits) and enough CPU and graphics power to handle the additional requirements of displaying HD video. So what’s working for you? FYI, I’ve already tested the “standard” electronics" version (with separate composite video monitor) and everything from my $88 RCA tablet to an i5 laptop worked perfectly.

Hopefully there’s some information in there that’s helpful to you 🙂
