First let us start with what I used until now for any Winlink session that I made (either at home or portable in the field/forest/mountain).
The old setup (on a linux box)
I use a Lenovo X1 Carbon as my daily driver. It is quick enough and compact and I used it for a while now for hamradio stuff too. I never did FT8 or similar "messengers" on it though. In particular I did some winlink sessions using Pat in combination with rigctld, direwolf, the AX.25 tools, VARA (HF and FM) and ARDOPCF (never got one connection from home).
A more precise note on how I established different connection types is [already written down in the article before]({{< ref "64-packet-radio-vara-mobilinkd-and-digirig-on-linux" >}} "Packet radio, VARA (FM+HF), Mobilinkd, Digirig and the SignaLink USB on Linux").
What I actually want to do
I plan to use the tablet for Winlink and related tasks.
