I run OpenCPN on an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. It runs Android 4.2 or similar. You don't need much tablet for many of the apps.
It seems to work fine. I rarely fire it up for navigation as I much prefer dedicated marine GPS systems. I would consider a used Garmin GPSMap 64, 76 or similar handheld off eBay also. Better visibility in daylight. Waterproof. I have an old GPSMap 45 as my 3rd backup. Dennis C.
