Tablet Question
« on: November 29, 2011, 10:27:14 AM »


 i'm looking for a decent tablet that'll take the abuse of being in a repair shop. my aunt, her daughter, and her son in law all have ipads. i kinda don't like those based on the fact that you can't hook anything to them via usb, or even put an sd card in them. top that off with what appears to be a non-replaceable battery.....

 looking online, i kinda like the toshiba thrive, but not sure whether or not it'll take this environment. watching one of the cops shows, i saw an ambulance crew using them, and they looked rugged. i can't find anything that looks like that though.


 what are good ones? i need them to be able to connect through wifi, so i don't have to keep coming back up here for information when diagnosing a car. laptops are too bulky, i can't stand netbooks. the tablets look like the perfect solution.


 thanks doooods!

well in seriousness, what i want to be able to do, is to access my information without having to come back up here to the office.


 where we used to have manuals, we now have either dvd's or online databases. the online database is the most economical for me, both money-wise, and room-wise.
