I somehow apparently missed the VU notes, though MA is a bit derelict in announcing changes in a timely manner so I tend to miss them as they happen. Years ago I made suggestions that they implement portable terminals for trade and repair, it only made sense. A couple weeks ago I was browsing through the Auction and ran across them!
They are Limited, and have a max TT of 20 PED. Markup for the portable TT unit tends to start around 140% on a buyout. Sure, prices will go up, prices will go down. I am uncertain if they are looted or crafted though I would imagine they are crafted.
The portable repair seems to go much higher in the 200% to 300% range at least at present time. Possibly due to the vast numbers of people who hunt and have use for a portable repair terminal. In any case, they can be found under Tools > Misc Tools in your auctioneer. Don't be surprised if you can't find any on other worlds, but like everything else in the game if you want it, you can buy it on Calypso.
I have not owned either of these so I cannot testify as to their decay per use, but when you are out in the middle of nowhere, whats a little decay as opposed to the cost of TP chipping to a terminal or the time involved in flying or driving to one.
