Hi Reinier,
judging from what you are writting <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />, you'd better go for off-the-shelf solution.
And I must stress it again, you need a rather small touch-screen computer. It could be either tablet or convertible (full-scale laptop that "collapses" into a tablet).
Depending on what you are going to do in your processing, you may not need that much processor power.
I have an old UMPC (9-inch convertible laptop) from now extint Kohjinsha. It runs a single core Pentium-M processor at 600 mHz (less than half of its nominal frequency) and has 1GB of RAM; operating system - Windows Vista Premium 32 bit. Sony Image-Data-Converter version 3.1 worked reasonably well on it with 10Mpix images from Sony A100 - except for dynamic-range-optimization and noise-reduction features that indeed were painfully slow. But its screen wasn't suitable - while sharp, bright, contrasty and enabling wide viewing angle, it doesn't show image details. I just cannot explain this.
Did you look at Microsoft Surface Pro?
Regards,
Oleg.
