Possible but I like the power of a laptop more. I also plan on using the laptop to edit pictures and video to customer specifications on the job site instead of having to return to the office. There is also a lot more in terms of connecting devices to the laptop, I can at best without special tools connect one or two devices to an IPad while I laptop is limited only by the number of USB and HDMI ports and the fact the cables for those connections are cheap, common, a set standard, and readily available helps a lot. No special cables that get changed every time a new IPad comes out that are different every time (because you know... apple). The cables are common enough that I dont have to explain to everyone how to plug them in correctly, and so on.
Also power is of much less concern since many of the trucks provide standard 120 volt power so I can use the HDMI cable to stream the video to a large TV for the incident commander. Every truck we have in the department either has its own generator with outlets built in or a portable generator to provide auxiliary power.
