research on the go

[kalos]

hello!

I will give you a description of what I want and can you please tell me please what hardware/software I could use to achieve that?

I want to work in cafés, so a sunlight resistive screen is a must, plus a good battery life

I want to read pdf and doc files and highlight terms and search for them quickly in specialized dictionaries, like legal dictionary, ideally without leaving the pdf document

I also want to browse the web with full functionality.

Can you tell me please what to buy to be able to do that kind of research?

thanks!

You could do much of this with any Chromebook, reading the PDF in the app called Kami. By right-clicking on a selected word you can use a Google search for the definition (or translation).

They are cheap, they give you the fastest browsing speed around, and the keyboard is already built in.
