_Dredd Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I use an iPad 4 now and then at my pit for PDF viewing, mission cards, ground charts etc.. I've been finding it too cumbersome, and was looking at an iPad Mini for this sort of thing, but thought maybe another device works better with a good form factor. Nexus Tablet perhaps? Do you use a tablet as an electronic kneebaord? What's your recommendation?

BitMaster Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 iPad2 on my end. If that aint around cause my son has most times I fire up another laptop next to me. You need something.. that is for sure :) Tried the iPhone..but that is too small. Best is a full blown PC/Mac/Linux that handles 1400 pages PDF faster than any iPad, can run TS3, Mozilla and some other tools too. The iPad has a few disadvantages with Multitasking high workloads, that is why I favor a small 14-15" laptop next to me.

cichlidfan Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 For document reference I use a Galaxy Note 10.1. Smaller would be a bit better but PDFs on my 7" Kindle Fire HDX were just a bit too small sometimes.
