For those members living in the northern hemisphere it now the height of Summer
and the living is easy..

what better time to untangle ourselves from PC screens,jumper cables,surge
protectors,Upteron processors(or is it Downteron?)keyboardS,etc.etc. and take a
nice spinout to the beach

Dedicated  chess computers are perfectly suited to accompany the whole family
for a sunny day at the shore

below are some recommendations :

first is aptly named..the Mephisto Beach
a small hand held portable available in several colors
weak program but i think its waterproof:

second on the list would have to be the Fidelity Decorator..
can double as a serving tray for lunch at the beach
will have to run a line from the car to the computer though...does not work on
batteries:

lastly i would recommend the Milton Bradley Phantom(Milton,Grandmaster)
this computer has the very rare "flotation feature"and will actually float on
water allowing for some much needed exercise of dog paddling while playing:
