How big is the 'full' port with utils?

Thanks for filling in some of the blanks for me.  What would you
recommend
for a 'platform' with a close to full keyboard and decent display.   How
much
memory is needed?

I'm wondering if I should buy a laptop PC for an high cost, or try to
get ahold
of a Win CE box used or cheaply.

Thanks again for the info.

Dave
