No, we're looking at laptop deployments. They're an environmental nonprofit that does a lot of fieldwork. They need to be able to deploy hardier machines that won't cost them a lot to maintain and have a not-impossible course of action if a system breaks. That could be either "going local" or shipping things back-and-forth. A big question is do they build the machine here in the US or is it reasonable to buy the machines locally and then configure them remotely.... or do something else completely?
