Which tablet should I get?
« on: September 03, 2014, 12:49:30 PM »
I need a tablet mostly for taking Pics of projects that I finished and then showing them to potential clients, so
most important features would be be camera, screen size & clarity. Any recommendations? TIA

Why would you use the tablet to take the pictures? Use a good camera and transfer the photos to the tablet.

Other than that, almost any tablet with an HD screen would suit your needs.

Convenience, only have to carry the tablet and dont have to transfer every time.

I think screen is to small to be able to show people pictures comfortably...
I was thinking of getting the Ipad air but have an Android phone not sure if I should keep everything within one OS.

Looking for a tablet mostly for Web browsing and word processing (plan on buying keyboard too)
Any suggestions?
I'm leaning towards windows/android for OS so experience in either of those would be appreciated

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Hey, I like my office! And we have lots of fun laughing at our customers when they hang up...

I'm pretty happy with my Asus Transformer.

If you aren't in a big rush to purchase a suit tablet then you can another month
when the nexus 9 comes out supposed to be very powerful with great specs.

I need to purchase 5 or so tablets 7" or higher, that'll work on 4G. don't need anything fancy, just a web browser and email. and Sprint compatible. They'll give me tablets for free with a two year commitment, but I'd rather not make the commitment. It's for guys out in the field, so I'll probably get an otter-box or comparable for them. Any recommendations?

If taking pics is that important to you, you might as well get a wi-fi capable camera, and a cheap 8'' tablet with HD screen. It's not that inconvenient once you get used to it.
