This document discusses the growing trend of bringing your own device (BYOD) to work in the form of tablets. Tablets allow for better work-life balance, employee mobility, and increased productivity in meetings. They have advantages over laptops such as longer battery life and ease of sharing. Using tablets can reduce costs for companies through smaller office space needs, lower IT administration costs, and decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Tablets are becoming a replacement for all computers and will continue to evolve, leading more companies to adopt their use.
