Jeppesen don't make one. What they do make is software to view their electronic charts, which is called JeppView. As it seems with most things to do with aviation, their technology isn't great and nor is their online marketing, so figuring out their product range isn't as easy as it should be.

Once you've got the software (about €1500 for Europe, including a subscription for the updated plates) you need the hardware. It will run on any modern Windows XP computer, though obviously a tablet style machine suits a cockpit much better than a laptop with a keyboard. The big thing here is having a display that works well in direct sunlight. The Motion LS800 with ViewAnywhere screen is a good choice if you want something small. You can't easily view a full height plate on it though, without scrolling and zooming in and out. For that you'd need a bigger device which can be cumbersome, depending on what you fly. Motion make a 1600 model with the same screen.
