[AT] OT - Tablet computers

[Claude Kyker]

Something to be aware of is whether to get “WIFI only “ or get one that is capable of using cellular data. WIFI only is good when you have access to WIFI,  cellular data can be used anywhere cel signal is available. Not saying what you need, just making sure you are aware.

They work, but there are rough edges depending on how the specific manufacturer supports it (Samsung might okay as they have budget). Google wants to push the chrome platform but that is targeted at laptops and low powered desktop and so again as a tablet it can work but might be rough edges.

Reports all agree though, a lot of the hardware lacks robustness and will break if you look at it wrong. Pay extra for business class and get a good brand.
