I'm uncertain I'd want to depend on the touch-screen version, but it certainly IS a nice compact form factor.

I think I like it since the laptop has UXGA resolution or better, way beyond what these stand-alone pieces have.

Happiness is statistically unlikely, but USB octopus cables are some help. Don't get the charge-only kind... Bluetooth oscilloscope actually IS a thing, with phone, tablet, or laptop display.
