    Hey,
    The following is what I'm looking for:

    10+ inch tablet

    Will mostly be used to look at drawings (PDF, .dxa, Jpg). Ability to zoom in easily being the reason for going with tablet rather than a laptop.

    Battery life of approx 10hr usage.

    3g/4g compatible - will looking to put a mobile sim in it.

    Durable - this is likely to be around dusty and wet areas so, if a good case could be recommended it would be appreciated.


    Cost is also a factor, will be getting quite a few of these and happy to go with refurbished models etc if this wont impact performance.

    Any advice would be great.

    Thanks,

    this has good battery life ,
    even the ipads have 9 hours battery life for average user.
    oesn’t cut the mustard when it comes to video or any serious games. The build and design are solid and stylish and with a 2-cell Lithium polymer unit - the battery life is ludicrously good, this is a laptop equivalent of the Energizer Bunny.

    look on ebay, amazon,
    waterproof tablet case.
