Laptop for quotes?

Does anyone take a ipad with them when doing quotes?

I think it would come in handy just really to load tons of photos on it. If Mrs Jones wonders how a certain wood plank looks with a particular design strip and you happen to have done a job like that you can produce a photo of it.
Also maybe use it to store photos of samples so you can show a better pic if they choose one on an little swatch sample?

EDIT.. iPad not laptop!

 

Get a tablet for that mate?

 

Yeah, that's what I meant. Doh!

 

lol i been using my ipad for the last yr doing exactly that.
Looks the part to mrs customer as well as giving inspiration!

 

yeah also been using ipad but new year will be using new samsung seems so much better than ipad at moment

 

The Blackberry play books have come right down to £99 today in PC world.

 

new one called wikipad out early next year cross between ipad and play station

 

playbooks rubbish i brought it last year for the same thing but they have no apps really compared to ipad

 

I take my iPad sometimes too. Great as when I take a pic with my iphone it goes straight to my iPad with photo stream.

 

You can sideload all the Android apps for PB's. Just bought one tonight.

 

I know but they don't all work as that's what I did.my annoyance was not being able to get an invoice app as I wanted to invoice on the job to save on paperwork

 

you're all just a bunch of techno geeks... LOL...

 

i bought a samsung galazxy tab 2 far better than a ipad in my opinion
it does impress the clients as well

 

If it shows pictures of your floors who cares which ones better?
Nintendo better then sega.......

 

Not straight off the bat, RIM took away their android market place capabilitys so you now have to do a workaround from what I can work out to get it running, my nephew got one for his birthday yesterday and me sis in law is already thinking about taking it back as most of the apps have to be paid for, she is gonna get the galaxy tab 2 instead as thats on android.

 

Got the missus a 64gb iPad mini for xmas so might use that to show pics on my private jobs, id never thought about doing it that till I saw this thread to be fair.

 

My missus bought me the 64gb playbook yesterday and it's perfect for me. Really under rated just because blackberry aren't hip at the moment (although they will be again when bb10 is released).

 

That's what I meant mate, but once you know how to do it it's simples.

 

Yeah if you can do that then its cool shame they took the sideload feature off the playbook in the first place, my nephew is only 9 so my sis in laws boyfriend didnt fancy hooking it up to the computer everytime to do the workround for an app lol
