asked on

tablet/laptop recommendation

I am looking for a tablet/laptop that employee can use when they are on the go.

I will have an access program running on it [the database is on the company server].

Need to connect to their office computers in a domain environment via a VPN connection.

Light work [no robust system]

Work on Verizon network.

Purpose of porches giving the employees access to their computer on the go and using the access program.

Any recommendation, please.

corrupt the access database
Spoke to the developer, and they say it's ok should not do any corruption.

Price range?
Not looking to pay a dollar more needed, but need it to work would say not more then $600 range

Battery life
Does not matter will not work on it for a long time at once thy thy can charge it between uses.

Any other feature
No

Does it matter if the display is matte or glossy
I personally like batter glossy but would not make any difference on what to choose.

thermal throttling and/or fan noise
Don't care about this

The main focus is on performance comfort and display.

A very important point I forgot to mention, needs to work with LTE so I can add to my plan with my wireless carrier (Wifi in not enough)

It has a very tiny SSD drive. A user would run out of space within months.

i5 is satisfactory as is 8 GB.  So it is fair but I would set my sights higher.
All I am going to use it is to remote in the office computers and run a front end access. I don't want taff to use it for any other purpose (I plan lock down the tablet/notebook (Kiosk)
OK, If no big storage needs then the Surface you picked out should be fine.

Easy enough to add a USB internet stick. I do this and have a plan from my ISP . Easy
You are right I see I'm was totally off with my price range. But it is worth for me to pay the extra $150 for something that has built in LTE rather than using a usb or hot spot to connect to the internet
