I use a Dell XT tablet laptop, with Solid state disk, with Jeppesen Flitestar and Jeppview installed.
I do my flightplan on Flitestar, print out a tripkit to a pdf file (need a decent quality pdf writer software), and transfer to a USB key. I then just ask the hotel or airfield ops to print out the pdf file - never yet had anybody refuse. I then have a full paper operational flight plan, complete with a full set of up to date charts for departure, destination, alternates. The advantage of the laptop over a dedicated EFB is that it has much more functionality, not only for flight planning but also for other purposes on a trip.
If I have to make an emergency diversion to an airport I have to fire up the laptop in flight. This is where it is weak compared to a dedicated EFB - it takes the usual minute or so for the laptop to start up, then Jeppview is not an easy program to use if you are in a hurry.
