I am interested in replacing the old laptop I have been using for years in the workshop. It has an internal fan that often collects dust and causes it to heat up. The laptop is generally quite slow to boot and to perform general operations (i.e. copying files from the flash drive or wifi d/load).

I have been looking to replace it and researched 'fanless PCs' that have fully enclosed casing and displace heat through conduction (much like the enclosed control box concept). Some of the industrial grade ones are quite expensive, but then I came across mini fanless bare bones PC's like those linked here:

Has anyone out there tried one of these for running your bot?

If so, what brand and specs do you have?

What about a tablet? (i.e. Like a WinBook)?
