Boost efficiency.

Business tablets are so much more than just a bit of extra hardware. Their high performance and light weight allow you to work effectively from anywhere and access all your most important files. They also foster communication between colleagues and customers and keep everyone up-to-date with just a few clicks in the right apps. Boasting outstanding battery life, business tablets not only support your employees out on the road, but are also hugely convenient for office-based workers. Make sure the device you buy comes with at least ten hours of battery life. 12 hours are preferable when the tablet is going to be in constant use in long, off-site meetings or on business trips. Quick charging is another useful feature as it means you can quickly get back up and running. High resolution displays with at least 1,920 x 1,280 pixels allow you to create detailed presentations to impress customers and colleagues alike. Not sure a tablet alone is going to cut the mustard. Never fear! Business tablets offer pairing options so you can create a workstation tailored to your needs. Need to be online wherever you are? Make sure to select a model with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 (or higher) as well as 5G or LTE connectivity.

Powerful industrial tablets.

Looking to buy an Apple iPad for your company? Prefer a Samsung business tablet? Whatever you choose, there are certain factors to consider. As with smartphones, the operating system depends on the manufacturer, so connectivity options are the first aspect to think about. Bluetooth and USB are standard and allow you to use a range of peripherals. Headsets, wireless keyboards and mice as well as external hard drives and extra monitors connected via USB can transform your tablet into a full-featured workstation in a snap. The processor determines how powerful your tablet is and should have at least eight cores like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8, while in terms of RAM, you should be looking for speeds of at least 8 GB. Large displays are beneficial because they offer better resolutions and more screen real estate to reduce the strain on your eyes even during long days in front of the screen.

Processors for unlimited productivity.

Processors or CPUs are at the heart of business tablets, and just as in PCs, they are responsible for processing every single computing task. Working on tablets demands efficiency and performance and the more cores the tablet processor has, the faster and more powerful the hardware will be. Think about the applications you and your employees use regularly. If they are design apps, it’s worthwhile investing in a device with a powerful processor with at least six cores. You also need to consider clock rate, making sure that it isn’t lower than 2 GHz. If your staff are mostly working with texts, entry-level CPUs with two to four cores and a moderate clock rate are perfectly sufficient.

High-resolution displays.

When you are working on the go with a business tablet, there’s no need to compromise on picture quality. Make sure to choose a high-quality display that’s easy on the eyes.

With an iPad, for example, you’ll enjoy rich contrasts, vivid colours and sharp resolutions of at least 2,160 x 1,620 pixels and the option of the sRGB or P3 colour gamut. Depending on the work being done, it can make sense to choose a larger screen for an optimum visual experience. Display diagonals ranging between 10" (approx. 25 cm) and 12" (approx. 30 cm) provide sufficient space for efficient working and the crystal-clear display of all kinds of content. Looking for a business tablet with a powerful graphics card? Use the filters in the online shop to find the perfect models with the display size and surface you need. You can even search for models with touchscreens.

Long battery life for uninterrupted working.

Business tablets are ideal in a whole range of applications areas, but you can’t always be sure that you’ll be close to a mains power supply. With that in mind, you should consider the battery life of any tablet you buy. In industrial settings such as building sites, you need rugged devices with a battery that will last at least ten hours, while field workers in commercial enterprises will need a tool that will keep going for at least eight hours, just in case they don’t have time to charge up between appointments. Battery life is one of the factors that makes tablets so popular in the business world. No matter which manufacturer you prefer, a tablet purchased from Bechtle will keep you productive wherever you are. Devices with an up to 19-hour battery can easily get you through two working days so you can be sure your projects and documents are always securely saved and to hand. A business tablet allows you to focus on what you’re doing without worrying about running out of power.

The perfect accessories.

Enterprise tablets can be connected to a whole raft of accessories. Alongside input devices such as mice and keyboards, docking stations are useful investments as they allow you to connect headsets and external storage media from manufacturers including Samsung, Microsoft, Dell and many more to your iPad or tablet. You can even pair your tablet with PCs and notebooks, printers and conferencing systems, all of which are available from Bechtle.

Choosing the best business tablet.

Choosing the right enterprise tablet depends on a range of factors determined by the specific requirements you and your employees have. To help you make the best product for you, ask yourself the following:

Performance. How will the tablets primarily be used? Devices used predominantly in office settings do not need to be anywhere as powerful as those used byarchitects and graphic designers. Consider RAM and CPU.
Display. Do you tend to work with several apps at once? Is colour accuracy important? If the answer to both these questions is yes, you should look at tablets with a larger display and colour gamut so you benefit from greater screen real estate and better display quality.
Operating system. Which operating system does your company predominantly use? The answer to this question will considerably impact user experience and software compatibility. Depending on personal preference or company requirements, you have the choice between iOS, Android and Windows. You should also consider the availability of your corporate apps per OS as well as security features.
Security. How will corporate security standards be met? It’s essential to keep corporate data under lock and key, to ensure that your business tablets supports powerful security features such as encryption, biometric authentication (e.g. fingerprint scanner or facial recognition) and remote erasure.
Battery. How long will your tablet have to last on one battery charge? Battery life is particularly important when your employees are often on the road as it allows them to keep working without interruptions. You should also think about how portable you want it to be and if it will easily fit in a bag.

The best choice for:

Architecture. In this industry, you need powerful processors and high-resolution screens to be able to display CAD software and 3D models with ease. Models supporting stylus input are also useful for sketching and jotting down notes directly on the screen.
Small trade industries. Rugged, knock-proof and water-resistant tablets with a good battery life and connectivity are essential here. You also need devices that support mobile apps for order management, time recording and communication with customers and employees.
Graphic and web design. Designers require models with high-resolution screens that display content with exceptional colour accuracy. They also need powerful graphic processors that accelerate both image and video editing and a stylus, too.
Office-based work. Text editing and e-mail communication are the cornerstones of office-based working and require tablets with sufficient processing power alongside a comfortable keyboard and mouse. Another factor to consider is compatibility with standard Office applications.
Financial consulting. Consultants in this industry need tablets boasting high security and data encryption as they work with confidential financial information. It’s advisable, therefore, to search for devices with advanced security features such as secure boot options and VPN support.
