Handicapping Tablet

Just had a question for everyone. What Tablet do you think is the best to do your handicapping on. I have a MacBook Pro, but its annoying having to boot up my laptop and then do my picks and stuff on it. I just want something I can just use at the palm of my hands and highlight and other things like that. Just wondering what everyone else uses.


I think someone already asked this question, but I can't find the tread.

Thanks

I use a surface pro when going to race books or to the track.

I think the surface pro is the closest to an apple in terms of performance and feel.

The only problem is that it is relatively expensive. i justified it because it is a good enough computer that i could use it at work and for racing.

Overall, my surface pro has performed great for a couple of years.

Best, Frank

those look nice.

The ipad(pro? plus?) has been on my radar as well (I really liked my 'iphone').

I use a laptop that was given to me as part of a disability rehabilitative services. It's greatly appreciated and helped with school, but it's not a high-performance model.

I'm fortunate when I have a few good hours of high productivity. I'm looking to upgrade to something that doesn't lag, and that doesn't take 5-10 to boot up.
Even when I have adblocker on, I lag, and when I have adblocker 'off', some of the sites (like equibase ) seem to have ads that geared toward a higher level of device.

The iPhone was relatively 'instant', in that I could push or swipe and the device would not fall behind. I wasn't thinking 5x faster than my device.

They say if you 'put off' buying a tool that improves your productivity, - "you're already paying for (not having the upgrade) it"
