I've recently been put in the position of needing a new field laptop. Specifically I'm looking for a laptop with easy accessible HDD ports/compartments - Reason secondary HD for VMware Workstation v16 instances of AB/Rockwell Software that can be removed and USB tethered to a desktop system for use. My current laptop is built like a phone and you have to literally peel off the back off of the thing every time you want to change anything. I know laptops are becoming disposable items and PC manufactures are building them more for single use and throw away vs. upgrade and easy access to components.
I also like a bigger screen since I need to support graphics on it, in addition to PLCs. More than 2 usb ports would be awesome too...
I'm also curious if VMWARE workstation on a USBstick would also be an option? Ive heard issues with virtualizing across USB-Sticks.
