So, it looks like I'm going to become some sort of a traveling salesman, great.
Anyway, I am looking for a tablet I can use for the following:
3G service - to avoid the $1000/day wifi charges the tradeshow mafia thinks they're entitled to...
Use to remotely gather leads at trade shows
Keyboard potential - I think this is fairly standard now?
And, most important usage....watching movies while on plane
We are a windows-based company, not quite sure how much that matters anymore.. But, I run Stone Edge Order Manager, and ideally might enjoy some onboard CRM software of some sort. Would also be nice to run Stone Edge, but I don't know if that is possible....?
The budget I was given is non-existent, which I think it something like $400. However, when considering the intended usage (3G to alleviate wifi charges @ shows, etc) of this device, I think it is well worth $800+ of an investment.
So, am I right in my selecting the Surface...? I'd appreciate any insight you have! Oh, and timing is sort of an issue, as I'll need it Tuesday/Wednesday next week.
