Articles about business tablet

We've been talking a bit about Dell's upcoming Latitude ST tablet that first showed up in a leaked roadmap and then got detailed a bit in a presentation back in July. From the suggested specs we had some doubts about a 10 inch Full HD screen, but everything else seemed plausible.Today a teaser/presentation video from Dell made it onto the web and details a pretty average business tablet for the enterprise sector. Why do we say average? Mainly because we've hear the words "Intel Atom". That'...

We all agree slate tablets are consumer devices, but there are lots of companies that are tying them on right now to see how they could fit such a device, with almost perfect mobility, into the daily routine.  A testament to this is the number of business tablets announced and/or launched in the past two years. The latest to join the pack is the Motorola ET1, not only a business tablet, but also a rugged one.As with all rugged devices there's a compromise to be made when it comes to weight ...

It's not the first time we hear about the ASUS EEE Slate B121, but as of today the tablet is official. We've got now full details of the business version of the EEE Slate EP121. As you can expect there's not much difference between the two, except the business features and the higher price (obvious).You still get last year's Intel Core i5 ULV CPU, a 12.1 inch screen with a screen digitizer, 64 GB SSD drive, 4GB RAM, but the price was bumped to $1499. So let's see the specs and then we'll get...

Announced just one month ago, the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet, the first Android business slate, has just surfaced online on Lenovo's website and on Amazon.com. As rumoured previously, the Thinkpad tablet is offered in 16, 32 and 64 GB of internal memory models. Future expansion is possible thanks to microSD cards up to 32 GB in size (there's a 3-in-1 reader but Lenovo didn't specify the supported formats).What's interesting is that while the 16 GB WiFi version starts at $499, for the 32 GB versi...

This is definitely the Lenovo day of tablets, as we already wrote about the Ideapad P1 Windos 7 tablet and now we're at the Lenovo ThinkPad business tablet, leaked in official photos yesterday together with the Ideapad K1, which we'll talk about again later during the day.So, let's see what Lenovo thinks an Android business tablet should be like. First there's simple look that reminds of company's Thinkpad laptops. This is a love or hate design. Personally I like it a lot, but make no mista...

I bet you don't recall the Cisco Cius tablet for business people from last year. Apparently it went on sale at the end of March (who knew?). Anyway, Cisco just introduced AppHQ, possibly the only reason this tablet might actually have a chance on conquering the business world by offering security and peace of mind to the IT department in your company.Let me just tell you what AppHQ is: an store for Android apps that were extensively tested by Cisco to ensure no ill intended person can send c...

We've talked on one occasion about the Fujitsu Stylistic Q550, a 10 inch Atom tablet powered by Windows 7 that was set to debut in May. Even if the name suggest something that has to do with a nice design that's not the case here, as the Stylistic Q550 is a business oriented tablet, which also means unfortunately a 'business price', which in this situation means starting at $729 and going well up to $849 (see Fujitsu's product page).You might ask: why getting the Stylistic Q550 from Fujitsu ...

Lenovo is one of the few to announce tablets last year and they even had that interesting IdeaPad U1 Hybrid tablet concept with detachable keyboard, just like this year's ASUS EEE Pad Transformer. Unfortunately for Lenovo, the company wasn't able to bring their concept to market, but it seems this year we'll definitely see something, and that's soon, as a leaked internal document shows plans for a ThinkPad slate (codenamed Think Slate in the listed document) tablet with an advanced slide-in deta...

I'm sure you haven't seen many TV ads for servers, but it's not because the market is too small, but because people watching TV are not interested about servers or don't know anything about them. This brings me to this post's purpose, to talk a little bit about tablets as seen by businesses, as there's a huge market for them there if someone manages to convince executives of the benefits of using tablets. And it's not going to be a TV ad that does so. Reaching to consumers and reaching to the bu...

Another month is coming, another important IT show is approaching. This March we have the CeBit in Hanovra, Germany. Here a lot of companies are expected to launch new products, one of them being Fujitsu, with its 10 inch Atom tablet, the Stylistic Q550, which contrary to its name is a business tablet (just like RIM's Blackberry Playbook, another business tablet with a strange name).I know you think there can't be anything special about a Windows 7 Professional tablet made by Fujitsu, but th...
