Tablet test up to 400 euros – The best models for companies in comparison and for rental
Tablet test up to 400 euros: The best models compared for business & everyday use
Tablets no longer just belong in the living room – these mobile all-rounders are increasingly establishing themselves as flexible work devices, especially in the business environment. Especially for teams in the field, presentations, conferences or training mobile employees, tablets offer the perfect combination of performance, mobility and intuitive operation. But which models are suitable for professional use without breaking the budget?
In our latest tablet test up to 400 euros, we took a closer look at the best models in 2024. The focus was on technical specifications as well as practicality and value for money. Find out more about the most powerful business tablets under 400 euros here – and find out why renting tablets via our platform is particularly worthwhile for companies.
Why tablets are becoming increasingly important in the B2B sector
Digitalization is increasingly changing everyday working life in companies. Mobile devices such as tablets offer decisive advantages:
- Flexibility: Work from anywhere – in the office, in the field or at trade fairs
- Multimedia-capable presentations and customer advice directly on site
- Easy integration into existing company networks via WLAN or LTE
- Intuitive operation without long training periods
However, especially for larger quantities or short-term use (e.g. for events, training courses or project phases), not every purchase is immediately worthwhile. That’s why our B2B rental solution offers an attractive alternative: Rental devices for the exact period and requirements of your project – flexible, calculable and reliably supported.
What a good tablet up to 400 euros must offer
Tablets must meet certain requirements for business use. It’s not just about speed or battery life – overall performance in practical use is what counts. When selecting our top 2024 models, we particularly evaluated the following criteria:
- Performance & processor: Fast performance even with multiple apps open
- Display quality: Sufficient brightness, good resolution for presentations
- Memory & expandability: At least 64 GB, ideally expandable via microSD
- Battery life: At least 8 hours for all-day work
- Mobile phone option: Optional LTE/5G for location-independent use
- Accessory compatibility: Pen or keyboard support for productive work
