A lighter alternative to the laptop, this tablet provides a versatile option for working on the go.

“I have an iPad 2 at work. It’s also terrific to travel with as the difference in weight between that and my laptop is stunning. It is great to be able to scroll down and prioritize email in real time. I needed to get an external keyboard, and I haven’t downloaded many apps—though they exist—but being able to review Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations on the fly has made my work life much easier!” — Rhonda Lees, CAE, vice president, legal affairs, American Diabetes Association, Alexandria, Virginia
