The PC with a terminal emulator will always be my choice.

A terminal has only one advantage-price. Most color terminals
are only slightly more portable than a PC. They don't have
internal processors or disk drives, so you can't use them on
most networks and if you want to save something you read online,
you need to print it out NOW. PCs allow you to capture the data
and/or spool it to a printer.
