tablet or chromebook on the truck?

[Mike Pailliotet]

I need to get my guys creating invoices and emailing receipts from the job..

The thought of two more two year phone line contracts made me ill, so we went the Chrome Book route.

Easier to use keyboard
12" screen
Hot Spot data access
Full Service Monster istead of limited Mobile
$229

Can you draw me a picture? What is it? Where did you buy it? How much? What will it do. Can somebody from Alabama learn how to turn it on?

I went with the 12" tablet.

I like the full Service Monster idea.

On the road I prefer a tablet. Most often, I'm standing with the iPad in my hand and I can type with the other.

Chrome book works great at home when I sit at the table. I don't need the full version of SM on the road. Mel is a quick phone call away if I need more than mobile (which I never do)

Spend a little on a case and you will have it for years.

I saw an Asus tablet tonight at Sam's Club for like $179 or something. Probably a pretty decent tablet. Personally, I'd buy a refurbished iPad Air or iPad mini direct from Apple. Warranty and product is as good as new.
