Stay away from HP...keyboards were meant for small hands. I'm not a fan of Apple and iPads are too small and limiting for me. If you have large hands/fingers, Toshiba is very good if you want a no-nonsense laptop. I think some of the early models were made with the idea men would be using them. If you're using one for camping, etc, a used Toshiba Satellite might be a good choice. I have one of those which dates back to around 2006 and running one of the Linux operating systems I can do everything I need and I expect the thing to outlast me. The only problem is batteries. None of the older laptops get a long life out of a charge. Please don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But if you're camping, you probably just need occasional use, yes?
