a NUC is a compact low power desktop.but it still needs a screen and a
keyboard/mouse, etc.


I use a 8" highres tablet running android for my ultra-portable
applications ...  Its been awhile since I"ve needed more in hte field.


My current Huawei M3 tablet runs SkySafari Pro nicely with the maximum
database and doesn't crash if a few more apps are active.  high res 8"
screen suits me perfectly for my star charts
