Tablet buying advice for companies – How to find the right device for rental
Tablets have long since evolved from purely consumer devices into productive all-around tools for everyday business. Whether for sales, training, mobile office solutions, or digitized warehouses, the right tablet can optimize work processes and boost efficiency within your company. If you’d like to test tablets first or want to remain flexible in your device choices, tablet rental is an exciting alternative. This buying guide provides an overview of the most important decision-making criteria and tips for selecting the right tablet for your specific business needs.
Why tablets are becoming increasingly popular in business
Tablets are becoming increasingly important, especially for companies. The reasons for this are:
- Digital forms replace paper documents
- Flexible deployment options in the field and at trade fairs
- User-friendliness through touch operation
- Lower weight and longer battery life compared to laptops
- Uncomplicated device management through Mobile Device Management (MDM)
In addition, many industries benefit from customized apps and user-friendly interfaces, such as healthcare, logistics, and retail.
Which operating system is suitable for your company?
A decisive factor when
| Operating system | Advantages | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| iPadOS (Apple) | Secure, intuitive, with many professional apps | Marketing, Sales, Creative Industries |
| Android | Cheaper, flexible, large selection of devices | Logistics, field service, training |
| Windows | Close to laptop experience, ideal for office products | Office work, project management, IT & development |
Depending on the existing IT infrastructure and the intended use, it may well make sense to use different systems within the company.
Selection criteria for tablets in the company
1. display and size
Screen size is a key factor in user-friendliness. Small tablets (8 to 9 inches) are well-suited for mobile use, while large tablets (11 to 14 inches) offer advantages for presentations and multitasking.
2. performance and memory
Depending on the application, you’ll need different levels of processing power. For graphics-intensive apps, tablets should have powerful chips (such as those from the Apple M or Qualcomm Snapdragon series) and sufficient RAM.
3. connectivity and accessories
Devices with LTE/5G are worth their weight in gold for outdoor use. You should also look out for USB-C ports, keyboard and stylus compatibility and docking options.
4. security and administration
Tablets used in the workplace must be compatible with MDM solutions, feature biometric security functions (fingerprint, facial recognition), and receive regular security updates.
Recommended Tablets for Business Use
Depending on the intended use, the following device categories have proven effective in a corporate environment:
- Apple iPad Pro: Ideal for creative professionals and presentations, with outstanding performance and compatibility with Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra: Android flagship with a large AMOLED display, DeX mode for a desktop-like experience, and the S Pen included.
- Microsoft Surface Pro 10: Windows tablet with an optional full-size keyboard, particularly well-suited for Office and project work.
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A11: A great value choice for large quantities, such as for field service or simple data entry tasks.
- Apple iPad: Ideal for training, continuing education, or basic CRM—affordable and reliable.
