Tablets On The Roads

Ok so who uses a personal Tablet versus a laptop PC. I haven't found any real discussion on this and if a thread already exists please feel free to link to it so I can add to the discussion. Anyway. I should also note I am new to trucking as of this post I have not been inside a truck in 15 years so a lot/ everything has changed. Trucks are cramped spaces as such I think the room is always at a premium. I love to travel and travel light. So I personally found the Ipad Pro fit my need for several uses. Is anyone out there using this or a similar product? If so what are have you found to be the ups and downs versus the good ole Laptop?

I don’t have one but my buddy from school has one and he uses it to watch movies and everything else. He loves it All he has is the I-Pad and his cell phone on the road

I used to use my iPad to watch things, but since I got my new truck I have a small TV and use my PS4 to watch movies and what not.

I’d just like to point out that there are still books out there if anybody wants a good old fashioned experience. I find that when I’m on the road reading a book gets me to sleep faster than anything else.

You are supposed to actually read it, not thump yourself on the head with it repeatedly until you are unconscious.

Thanks Pete. Slow day for you?

I use a tablet, and my laptop, along with my Xbox 1.

My tablet is primarily used as a GPS, eReader, and I store all my Transflo pictures on it.

My laptop is primarily my music /video editing platform.

And my Xbox, well, that is for gaming, and Netflix.

My Xbox is used the least, mainly during resets. I am mostly on my tablet, and my laptop, working on my music, each day.

My phone is used constantly. I have a laptop to watch movies on on the rare occasion I reset.

I read this while eating dinner and almost spit my food out laughing!
