Still occasionally I have to travel, here on the road to watch movies. In general, use as intended.

Answer 6

It would go for people involved in construction. At the facility, check the remains of building materials, look at floor plans, quickly throw in some ideas, etc., etc. When inventorying and receiving goods, it is also more convenient than a handheld, because. you can see more information about a particular inventory number and even a photo. In any case, the iPad should be taken to places where the bulkiness and performance of a laptop is not needed, and the handheld is inconvenient due to the small size of the screen. Also, when there is a need to visually share information with colleagues or clients, without drawing it on paper, but quickly displaying it on the tablet screen.
