I have finally decided to get mobile and am not sure whether I should buy a laptop or tablet pc? I would greatly appreciate some feedback on which technology is really better for agents and why. Also, if you feel strongly about a certain brand, that would help too. Thanks.

What is it you are trying to do and what other computer equipment do you presently use?

I want to be able to communicate with clients while I'm away from the office, be productive while at open houses,etc. But I don't want to be short sighted. If there are things I can be doing more efficiently or give me more flexibility while I'm with customers, then I want to invest in the right tool. I just have a pc, printer and digital camera right now.

Here is what works for me. I have a laptop which is great for working anywhere. I have unlimited internet service on my cell phone which allow me to access email and property information anywhere. My cell phone acts as my communication with clients and prospects via talk and email. My PDA is great for syncing my contact managemtent software and for loading databases and spreadsheets. Technology is getting cheaper and it would appear that the cell phone is getting better. I am presently looking into getting a new cell phone with PDA capability so that I can eliminate one device to carry.
