Datapads are more or less military grade tablets, only reason BT seems so primitive is because the bulk of the technology was based off real world tech of the 80's so if anything, it would be 8 tracks (granted, that's not for from bones clubs and bongos to millennials)

Makes me wish someone would (wo)man up, and re-boot the whole setting...

I'm more than a little sick of reboots (Total Recall, RoboCop, Red Dawn, Ghost Busters, just stop) Good writers have done a good job keeping BT up to date in the source books and BTU Datapads was written up in the 80's so that was very forward thinking. My joke was at the expense of a couple of older novels that mention maybe a couple of dated items like a floppy disk and the few BT fans who can't let go of the 80's. Besides, one of the cockpit items in MWO is a tape deck

Oh I know, but a well done reboot can breath new life into something... especially from an RPG perspective... I get a good kick looking through some of my older RIFTS or Robotech RPG books and look at some of the luxury items in there, and think how dated they are...

For BattleTech this isn't really needed, except for the mentioned few old books they are very careful nowadays at making direct references to how tech looks/works.
Data is projected onto 'screens' or 'viewscreens' or the aforementioned 'datapads'. No reference if these are bulky old style monitors, or ultra thin high definition screens. Some goes for things like 'communicators'. Are we talking walkie-talkies here, mobiles, or just in-ear radios? They're not saying, it's up to the reader to fill that one in.
