Tablet's get expensive pretty quickly, and they will break. I need at least five EPOSs for "reasons". And I reckon I could have every thing I need, plus replacement hardware on location for a fraction of the cost of using tablets.
- AlphaSite 10y agoA tablet runs for $200, it's not even close to the expense of a normal POS, is it?
- nacs 10y ago> A tablet runs for $200 You can get an Amazon Fire tablet for around $50. Offbrand Chinese ones are even cheaper.
- rtpg 10y agoI don't mean to sound dismissive (building your own stuff is a good exercise in minimalism) but whatever you're building has a decent likelihood to break as well. Think about having a custom linux setup compared to Windows. There's some extra stability in one angle, but your wifi stops working every full moon and your keyboard layout gets randomized on reboot. Though the advantage of building it yourself is that you can replace more specific parts.
