Tablet buying advice 2024 – How to find the right device for your business
Tablets have long since evolved from pure consumer devices to productive all-rounders in everyday business life. Whether for sales, training, mobile office solutions or the digitized warehouse – the right tablet can optimize work processes and increase efficiency in the company. If you would like to test tablets first or want to remain flexible in terms of devices, a tablet for rental could be an exciting alternative. Our comprehensive tablet buying guide for 2024 provides you with an overview of the most important models, decision criteria and tips for choosing the right tablet for your individual 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 easy-to-understand user interfaces, e.g. in healthcare, logistics or retail.
Which operating system is suitable for your company?
A decisive factor when choosing a tablet is the operating system. Three major platforms dominate the market:
| Operating system | Advantages | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| iOS (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 purpose, it can therefore make sense to use different systems in the company.
Selection criteria for tablets in the company
When deciding on a particular device, you should pay particular attention to the following aspects:
1. display and size
The screen size is decisive for user-friendliness. Small tablets (7-9 inches) are suitable for mobile use, while large tablets (10-13 inches) offer advantages for presentations and multitasking.
2. performance and memory
Depending on the application, you need different processor performance. For graphics-intensive apps, tablets should have powerful chips (such as from the Apple M or Qualcomm Snapdragon series) and at least 4-8 GB of 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 in the company should definitely be compatible with MDM solutions, have biometric security functions (fingerprint, Face ID) and receive regular security updates.
