An Odroid XU4, similar guts to the Samsung Galaxy S5. Probably overkill, but it has worked really well for us.

I was taken aback the first time he did it, but that's exactly what happened -- it just kept on flying its search pattern until everything was back up.

Nice one! Can you say what you're using for the onboard computer?

it was bizarre to see him ctrl-c
his system, rewrite some code and boot the whole thing back up, all
while the plane was a kilometer overhead. On the other hand, if the
radio link got shaky, ALOFT couldn't thermal at all.

Sounded nasty at first, but then I realised that Aloft's autopilot would
simply carry on doing what it was last told to do until the laptop came
back online, so actually its a nice trick.
