SWheaton,
We have 8 docs in our office, and no midlevels. 6/8 are on an EHR. 5/6 on AC. 1/6 on e-clinical works. In the exam room we are all doing things a bit differently.
2 are using the I-pad, one with blue tooth keyboard, remoting in to their office desktop. One is using a tablet remoting in. One is hardwired using MTech touch screen desktops in each exam room. One is using a tablet in one room and hardwired desktop touch screen Mtech in another.
I am using an 8460p elite notebook which I carry from room to room (only have two exam rooms). For my first month or so after starting AC in 11/11, the mother board went out on the brand new 8460p and eventually got lost by fedex after the second repair trip to Texas. So if you had asked me then I would have said to steer clear of this product. But since getting a replacement I have not had one issue, however I do not utilize dragon on this. I only do education with up to date materials, (P1102W HP laser jet printers in each exam room-compatible with windows 7 or XP), electronic ordering, efaxing with updox or e-scribing from the exam room. This is not hardwired but use a gigabyte switch, and no speed issues or dropped connections. My desktop and nurses desktop (an 8460p elite notebook functioning as desktop) are hardwired. I only have 3 computers back in my pod.
The elite notebook has 8 ram of memory and a dual i5 processor and functions efficienctly. I wish the screen were a bit bigger, now that I upgraded to a double 23 inch screen on my desktop, but it works. Hope this helps.
