在决定哪种工作平板电脑(work tablet)最适合您时，您需要做的第一件事是定义您的生产力条款。所有平板电脑都可以帮助提高工作效率，但您需要决定是更高效地做更多的事情还是更少的事情。
所有平板电脑或多或少都可以完成相同的任务。具有更多功能的平板电脑可以在牺牲电池寿命的情况下完成额外的任务，反之亦然(battery life and vice versa)。正因为如此，我的前 5 名的顺序可能与你的不同。
事不宜迟，让我们开始吧。
5.亚马逊Fire HD平板电脑(5. Amazon Fire HD Tablet)
这台惊人的（不是双关语）机器没有在我的列表中排名较低的唯一原因是因为它不包含其他一些型号提供的相同功能。这台机器的电池续航时间(battery life)为 10 小时，与其他一些竞争对手相比还算不错，但在我看来，它严重缺乏功能。
这款平板电脑非常适合上网、观看视频和查看电子邮件。游戏、 HBO 和 Spotify(HBO and Spotify)等数据密集型应用程序将显着缩短电池寿命(battery life)。然而，有了完整的“Alexa”支持，管理日程安排和活动从未如此简单。就像拥有自己的私人助理一样，仅凭这个原因，这款平板电脑绝对可以与豪客竞争。
优点：(Pros: )
- 10小时电池寿命
- 四核处理器
- 免提“Alexa”集成
- 智能家居语音控制
缺点(Cons)：
- 从 32 GB 的存储空间开始
- 除非购买“无特别优惠”选项，否则您的平板电脑将充斥着广告
- 相机和声音质量差
- 需要更多内存
4. 三星 Galaxy Tab A 8”(4. Samsung Galaxy Tab A
8”)
在我看来，三星 Galaxy Tab A 8(Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8)英寸机型与(” model)Amazon Fire非常相似，这就是它被放置得如此之高的原因。这款平板电脑主要专注于 Web 应用程序，但具有无与伦比的电池寿命(battery life)，因此在运行Android 7.1 操作系统(Operating system)时，它基本上可以使用市场上最强大的电池之一完成计算机所能做的所有事情。
关于这款平板电脑，我最喜欢的部分之一是尺寸。大多数人可能不是在寻找小型平板电脑（不比 Galaxy Note 智能手机(note smartphone)大多少），但紧凑的尺寸使其非常适合在旅途中工作，并保证有助于提高生产力。
优点(Pros)：
- 14小时视频播放
- 可扩展内存高达 256 GB 存储(GB storage)空间（micro SD 卡(SD card)插槽）
- “Bixby Home”集成（类似于亚马逊的“Alexa”）
- Android 7.1操作系统(Operating System)反应灵敏
缺点(Cons)：
- 基本型号仅配备 32 GB 的存储空间(storage space)
- 8MP 后置摄像头(Camera)/ 5MP前置摄像头(Front Facing Camera)
3.联想瑜伽书(3. Lenovo Yoga Book)
这款平板电脑是完美的二合一平板电脑，尤其适用于建筑、平面设计和艺术(design and art)相关工作。360 度铰链允许 4 种不同的查看配置：创建模式(Create Mode)、观看模式(Watch Mode)、浏览模式(Browse Mode)和打字模式(Type Mode)。
关于这款平板电脑，我最喜欢的部分（除了一个屏幕变成了虚拟键盘）是 2.4GHz Intel Atom 处理器(Intel Atom processor)和 4GB 专用内存（大多数平板电脑只有 2 个）。如果您有需要完成的图形设计工作(design work)，这绝对是最好的平板电脑。
优点(Pros)：
- 12小时电池寿命
- 全高清 10.1(Full HD 10.1)英寸显示屏和杜比全景声扬声器
- 2.4GHz Intel Atom Processor / 4GB专用RAM
- 在数位板表面书写时可以使用REAL PEN
缺点(Cons)：
- 后置摄像头只有2MP
- 没有
可用的(Options Available)存储(Storage)升级选项
- 安卓 6.0 棉花糖
- 只有一个 micro-USB 和一个micro-HDMI 端口(micro-HDMI port)
2. 苹果 iPad Pro 10.5''(2. Apple iPad Pro 10.5’’)
我敢打赌，这个选择不会让你感到惊讶，但是，是的，Apple iPad绝对是市场上生产力最好的全能平板电脑之一，而且有充分的理由。零售网站称这款平板电脑的电池续航(battery life)时间长达 10 小时，但我个人在其上观看了 12 小时以上的直播，没有任何问题（亮度降低）。
如前所述，电池寿命实际上仅取决于工作量。我最喜欢这台机器的部分必须是所有的存储选项。对于我喜欢做的工作类型（摄影和写作(Photography and Writing)）来说， 1TB 的存储空间肯定有很长的路要走。(storage space)总而言之，这是一台值得尊敬的完成工作的机器。
优点(Pros)：
- 12.9 英寸无边框液态视网膜显示屏
- 多种存储选项(Options)（64GB/ 256GB/ 512GB/ 1TB）
- 相机很棒（12MP 背面/ 7MP正面(Front Facing)）
缺点(Cons)：
- 用户报告系统和触摸屏崩溃
- 无法通过USB-C 端口复制(USB-C port)Microsoft Office文件（必须通过云(Cloud)服务完成）
- 众所周知，整台机器(Entire machine)在受力条件下会弯曲和翘曲
- 与市场上的其他平板电脑相比非常昂贵
1. 戴尔 Latitude 7000 7202 坚固 11.6 英寸(1. Dell Latitude 7000
7202 Rugged 11.6”)
Dell Latitude是市场上最好的平板电脑之一，主要是因为它几乎坚不可摧。它配备 26 小时锂离子电池(lithium-ion battery)，是有史以来使用时间最长的平板电脑之一。
根据戴尔提供的(Dell)环境(Environmental)测试信息，这款军用级平板电脑(grade tablet)可以在“最高 145 华氏度（63 摄氏度）和最低 -20 华氏度（-29 摄氏度(-29 C)）的温度下运行。存储温度最高为 160F (71C)，最低为 -60F ( -51C )”（亚马逊(Amazon)）。
这款平板电脑非常适合户外和野外工作(field work)，但众所周知，在其使用寿命后期会遇到电池问题。热插拔电池可以轻松解决这个问题，它允许您更换电池而无需关闭正在运行的应用程序。
我的首选可能与您的不同的主要原因是，除非您正在进行广泛的现场工作(field work)，否则其中许多功能可能不适合您需要完成的工作类型，也不符合工作环境完成。
总的来说，这是一台很棒的机器。
优点：(Pros: )
- 热插拔电池
- 耐用的构造
- 极端温度耐受性
- 防水
- 手套能力
- 防震
- 8GB 内存 / 512GB SSD
缺点(Cons)：
由于每个人都有不同的需求，每个工作环境(work environment)都是独一无二的，所以这组多样化的平板电脑应该可以满足大多数人的需求。您认为有哪些平板电脑应该在此列表中？在社交媒体上告诉我！
Top 5 Tablets to Increase Productivity
The first thing you need to do when deсiding which work tablet is best for you is to define your terms of productivity. All tablets can help increase productivitу, but yоu need to deсіde if you want to do more things leѕs efficiently or fewer things more efficiеntly.
All tablets, more or less, can accomplish the same tasks. The tablets that have more capabilities can do additional tasks with a sacrifice in battery life and vice versa. For this very reason, the order of my top 5 may differ from yours.
Without further ado, let’s get into it.
5. Amazon Fire HD Tablet
The only reason why this amazing (no pun intended) machine has not placed lower on my list is because it does not include the same features that some of the other models offer. This machine has a 10-hour battery life, which is decent when stacked up against some of the other competitors, but it heavily lacks functionality in my opinion.
This tablet is ideal for surfing the web, watching videos, and checking email. The data-intensive applications like games, HBO and Spotify will significantly reduce battery life. However, with full ‘Alexa’ support, managing schedules and events has never been easier. It’s like having your own personal assistant and for that reason alone, this tablet can definitely compete with the high rollers.
Pros:
- 10
Hour battery life
- Quad
Core Processor
- Hands-free
“Alexa” integration
- Smart
Home voice control
Cons:
- Starts at 32 GB of storage
- Unless purchasing ‘without special offers’ option, your tablet will be riddled with ads
- Poor camera and sound quality
- Needs More RAM
4. Samsung Galaxy Tab A
8”
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8” model is very similar to the Amazon Fire in my opinion, which is why it’s placed so high. This tablet primarily focuses on web applications but has an unparalleled battery life so while it’s running the Android 7.1 Operating system, it can do basically everything a computer can with one of the strongest batteries on the market.
One of my favorite parts about this tablet is the size. Most people probably aren’t looking for a small tablet (that isn’t much bigger than the galaxy note smartphone), but the compact size makes it ideal for working on-the-go and is guaranteed to help productivity.
Pros:
- 14 Hours of video playback
- Expandable memory up to 256 GB storage space (micro SD card slot)
- ‘Bixby Home’ integration (similar to Amazon’s ‘Alexa’)
- Android 7.1 Operating System is very responsive
Cons:
- Base
model comes with only 32 GB of storage space
- 8MP
Rear Facing Camera / 5MP Front Facing Camera
3. Lenovo Yoga Book
This tablet is the perfect 2-In-1 tablet and it’s especially helpful for construction, graphic design and art related work. The 360-degree hinge allows for 4 different viewing configurations: Create Mode, Watch Mode, Browse Mode, and Type Mode.
My absolute favorite part about this tablet (besides one screen turning into a virtual keyboard) is the 2.4GHz Intel Atom processor and 4GB of dedicated ram (most tablets only come with 2). If you have graphic design work that needs to be done, this is the absolutely the best tablet to use.
Pros:
- 12-hour battery life
- Full HD 10.1’’ display and Dolby Atmos Speakers
- 2.4GHz Intel Atom Processor / 4GB dedicated RAM
- Can use a REAL PEN when writing on tablet surfaces
Cons:
- Rear
Camera is only 2MP
- No
Storage Upgrade Options Available
- Android
6.0 Marshmallow
- Only
one micro-USB and one micro-HDMI port
2. Apple iPad Pro 10.5’’
I bet this pick does not surprise you, but yes, the Apple iPad is definitely one of the best all-around tablets on the market for productivity, and for good reasons. The retail website says the tablet has up to 10 hours of battery life, but personally I’ve watched 12+ hour live streams on it with no problem (brightness reduced).
As stated earlier, battery life really just depends on the workload. My favorite part about this machine has to be all of the storage options. 1TB of storage space definitely goes a long way for the type of work that I like to do (Photography and Writing). All around, this is a respectable machine for getting work done.
Pros:
- 12.9’’ Edge-to-Edge Liquid Retina
Display
- Multiple Storage Options (64GB/
256GB/ 512GB/ 1TB)
- Cameras are amazing (12MP Rear
Facing/ 7MP Front Facing)
Cons:
- Users have reported system and touch screen crashing
- Cannot copy Microsoft office files through USB-C port (has to be done through the Cloud services)
- Entire machine is known to bend and warp under strained conditions
- Very expensive compared to other tablets on the market
1. Dell Latitude 7000
7202 Rugged 11.6”
The Dell Latitude is one of the best tablets on the market mainly because it is nearly indestructible. With a 26-hour lithium-ion battery, it is one of the longest lasting tablets ever created.
According to the Environmental testing information provided by Dell, this military grade tablet can operate at temperatures with “A high of 145 degrees F (63 C) and low of -20 degrees F (-29 C). Storage temperatures are a high of 160F (71C) and low of -60F (-51C)” (Amazon).
This tablet is perfect for outdoor and field work, but has been known to experience battery issues later in its lifespan. This problem is easily countered with the hot-swappable batteries, which allow you to swap batteries without having to shut down the apps you’re running.
The primary reason my top pick may differ from yours is because, unless you’re doing extensive field work, a lot of these features might not appeal to the type of work you need complete, nor will they match the environment in which the work will be completed.
Overall, it is a fantastic machine.
Pros:
- Hot-Swappable
battery
- Durable
build
- Extreme
Temperature Endurance
- Water
Resistant
- Glove
Capable
- Anti-vibration
- 8GB
of ram / 512 GB SSD
Cons:
- Resolution
problems with the screen when it reaches extreme temperatures
- Heavy
build
Since everyone has different needs and every work environment is unique, this group of varied tablets should match most people’s needs. Are there any tablets that you think should be on this list? Let me know on social media!
