I think there are two issues here.

1.  Handy storage/backup device for travel when you really don't have 
the time to edit much, nor willingness to lug a computer.

2. You want to see your images immediately or the same day for 
editing and processing.


For the second you want a light but useable laptop, and you can add 
external drives for image storage and backup.

For the first you want something that's small, has fast and reliable 
downloads and holds a good charge and allows you to put in as large a 
drive as you need. For this the Nexto devices are the answer.

In my view the Epson P series satisfies neither set of criteria, and 
on top of that it's also very expensive.
