Best Windows 8 Business Tablet

Best Windows 8 Business Tablet

These Windows 8 tablets are sleek and stylish, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have what it takes to keep up with your business. Straddling the consumer and enterprise markets, these full-featured machines all offer productivity, security and portability, but which one is the best?

For this category, we looked for 10.1-inch tablets running on full Windows 8 OS, with enterprise-level security features, including a TPM chip. Each tablet also had to have a dedicated keyboard dock peripheral available for it. 

Nominees: 

 

  • Dell Latitude 10
  • Fujitsu Stylistic QH582
  • HP ElitePad 900
  • Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2

 

And the Winner Is...

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 

In a very tightly contested category, Lenovo’s ThinkPad Tablet 2 is our winner. Out of all of our tablets, the ThinkPad 2 is the most well rounded, offering excellent productivity capabilities, in both tablet mode, with its included Wacom active digitizer stylus, and in notebook mode, thanks to its solid and responsive Bluetooth keyboard which includes a trackpoint nub and essentially turns the device into a 10-inch ThinkPad notebook. Add to that, great connectivity, over six-hour battery life, and comprehensive security features and you’ve got a clear winner.
