I am a PM in the IT industry and I was looking for some advice/recommendations on what everyone is using as far as a laptop or tablet as well as any beneficial apps. Any advice and specs would be very much appreciated.
I would like to share PMP Android App here, which is developed by GreyCampus . It is really good one for PMP aspirants and Project Managers as well. Hope it will helps you. Saving Changes...

I use a desktop, a laptop and a tablet. Plus my phone. I have different apps on each. If you use desktop applications, find out if they have mobile versions and install them. Saving Changes...

Hi Jonathan,
What are you looking to accomplish with your technology? Do you need something where you can type meeting minutes? Then you want a laptop with a full size keyboard. If you need something that is portable and good for collaboration, then you might consider a tablet, or a large smart phone, and sign up for asana, or something similar.
What do you want to accomplish? That will give us better information on how to advise you. Saving Changes...
I suggest something that integrates really well with the rest of your organisation's systems, especially outlook's calendar, ms project, sharepoint etc- probably a windows tablet or convertible, Dell Venue Pro or Fujitsu T725 for instance (have used both these, v good). Saving Changes...

Hi,
sounds like you are a contractor, and looking for a suitable BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) that will hold its own in any environment. RIght?
Most companies will provide either brand new kit, hand-me-downs from senior management and departed employees, or bank machines for contractors. (sometimes security implications and business rules will dictate that you use their machines).
I'd stick to the professional ranges, HP's (my current), Dell, Acer and Sony are all viable - the mass market types like Samsung are too flimsy for serious work.
With so much happening in the cloud these days, and a properly managed check out/check in and back up routine, you won't need massive hardware performance specs. The most important factor in my book is build quality and usability.
If you're travelling a lot (especially public transport and international) go for something not too big ... 15in is too small, 16in is adequate, 17in is awkward. Paired with a decent monitor and full size keyboard make using the laptop a breeze when in the office.
I've survived so far without a tablet, using my phone for most on the go work, however, I am sure I will succumb in 2015.
Hope this helps.
