No problem. In addition, I forgot to mention asset management using a barcode reader app and the built in camera or, preferably, a bluetooth hand scanner. And give yourselves a few months of typing on the on-screen keyboard and you'll eventually find that you can pump out a lengthy blog post just as fast as on a hardware keyboard.

When I took my current job with the school district I work for, I knew I needed something more portable than the laptop they gave me. As a campus technician, I'm responsible for maintaining all of the technology on at least five different campuses and troubleshooting any issues they run into. Occasionally I also work on other projects like site surveys for upcoming technology installs. My tablet has seriously exploded the level of productivity I'm capable of in all of these areas. I got an ASUS Transformer TF300T with a Tegra 3 quad core processor, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It's currently running Android 4.1.1. I did not get the optional detachable keyboard but, as I found out, I really don't need it. The on-screen keyboard is a lot more usable than I thought it would be. So what have I used it for? The digital classroom project involves installed an audio system in the drop ceiling, an interactive HD projector on the wall above the dry-erase board, electrical conduit and receptacles, and a number of connections below the board for various other pieces of technology. The site survey for this required pictures of the room, the board, and the space above the ceiling from several angles, measurements, and detailed notes for every classroom it went into. At the end of each survey, the pictures and the notes needed to be put into a report with a specific format, meaning a word document with a table that had a column for room numbers, one for pictures, and one for notes broken into a bullet point list. Instead of lugging around a laptop, a camera, and a tape measure, all I used were the tablet and the tape measure. I created the report on the tablet, took the pictures with the tablet and had them automatically placed in the right place in the report, and typed up my notes and measurements right there. No arm strain, no worry of running out of battery, no extraneous baggage or bulk. I would then upload the entire report from my tablet into our web-based file system where everyone could access it. When I'm working my tickets, I log into the ticketing system from my tablet, access stored documents on a shared drive on my laptop which I set up in a central location and leave there as I go about my business, keep track of appointments using a widget on my home screen that syncs with my outlook calendar, reset passwords and manage Active Directory user and computer accounts with ActiveDir Manager, generate network maps for subnets I'm troubleshooting devices on and ping or tracero
