After speaking to a few people over the past few weeks when it's come to reloading it's come to my attention anything digital is the devil and should be avoided as much as possible. The only exception is a set of quality digital calipers. My question, after seeing a wonky beam scale in action (even threw the owner) has me contemplating going digital or just getting another manufacturer. Is there any reason to avoid the digital market when it comes to powder? Some of the concerns I'm reading seem to be based on strong paranoia more so than fact. Keep in mind that this setup will be run in a basement where the temperature is pretty constant. I'm not in front of any windows or vents that would cause awkward temperature spikes, though I do understand electronic scales do have a warm up period prior to each use.
Another question is in regards to surrounding electronics being near/on the bench. I was planning on lugging my laptop with me so I could have a live reference to hand load data. For years I was the person to work with notebooks (and still do for certain things) for notes, but being an engineer by trade Excel is my friend and I spreadsheet data to no end. If I could grab my laptop or setup a bench box from something I have sitting around I feel like I'd be more productive and cautious with my notes, but that's me. I do get that a monitor and a power supply generate magnetic fields that can throw off scales, so if I do find a reason to skip beam scales and go digital this is something else I need to keep in mind.
Just thinking out loud while ordering reloading bits and planning my bench setup.
