I'm looking for a replacement for my Sony Dashes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Dash). Always-on 7-10 inch screen showing weather, camera feeds, time etc. I've built a control page I like. Doesn't have to be touch though that would be nice.
I'm thinking of buying iPad minis but am concerned about leaving them plugged in and screen on 24/7 and the battery expanding (have heard this can happen after a year).
Fire tablets would be a lot cheaper, but also have a batter and the same concerns.
Then there are 10 inch RasPi screens that could work.
Curious if others have found a solution for this, or if my concern over ipads is overblown and I should just go that route?
