Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking to buy a cellular tablet for business use (self-owned business) that I want to be able to take anywhere.  We use Verizon.  
Obviously we all want to spend as little as possible, but I understand that you get what you pay for.  I only need it to access the internet for our business, so it doesn't need significant storage/RAM/etc.  Just looking for something reliable that'll get the job done.  Thanks for your recommendations.

-Brian

1. Is This Your First Time Buying A Tablet?  No.

2. Do you already have an operating system in mind?  Anything but iOS (I expect I'll find an Android tablet but am open to anything else)

3. What screen size do you have in mind?  10"+

4. Preferred Brand(s) - Anything but Apple

5. Brands Not Preferred (specify why) No Apple - we use Android and Windows for all of our other devices

6. How much do you want to spend on your tablet?  <$300 (but will entertain up to $500)

7. Do you have cellular service? Or do you want the tablet to be WiFi only?  Must have cellular capability (we have Verizon)

8. If you do have cellular service, who is your provider and how much data are you allowed per month?  Verizon - no data limitations

9. Do you want the tablet to be a full laptop replacement?  Nope

10. What existing apps do you use? What do you intend to do with this tablet?  No app usage.  This will be used to access our website in order to fill out forms while out in the field.  I'll likely find a keyboard cover on Amazon assuming one exists for that model.

It's not an area I have any significant knowledge of but filtering out the ones that do not meet your requirements this review article lists 7 or 8 models that may meet your needs.

You are going to find out that a iPad will beat out a Android device hands down.
