Advice for new laptop

Admins please move this post as needed, I couldn't even guess where would be best to post this.

My ancient Dell XP machine has died. It's main job of the past 5 years has been to play crawl while I watch tv on my desktop.

As crawl is minimal in resource needs (offline console), my question hinges on physical attributes and physical interface.


Is there anything special about the devices you run crawl on that you particularly like or dislike? Does anyone like tablets for crawl? I have sometimes run the dcss app on my nexus5, but it is too small to begin with, smaller still with the touch keyboard over lap.
I think I want a num pad (if proper laptop), but I should probably learn to use the keyboard movement keys.

Please and thank you.
