We have a motion J3500, it's quite heavy but connect-a-desk works well.... and no matter how light a device is you still want something to rest on for all but the smallest surveys. We use the stylus for surveys and disable hand recognition as it seems better for accuracy and certainly easier if you don't have to hover your hand off the screen.
The only real advantage from this device is probably if you need long battery life. It has dual hot swappable power supplies and we have a 3rd with external charger. So you can survey 24/7 if your crazy enough. -- Jason Cook The University of Adelaide, AUSTRALIA 5005 Ph : +61 8 8313 4800 -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Oliver, Jeff Sent: Thursday, 18 February 2016 6:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] tablet for site survey work I know that I will get about 4 hours on a full charge (SP3) with the Ekahau nics and spectrum analyzer running in addition to the on-board nic, have not pushed it to the limit though.

I use the stylus to click for surveying and the mouse to operate the menus when saving and verifying. Does anyone with a Surface have recommendations for battery life? The yoga gives me much more time surveying before having to charge. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Watters, John Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] tablet for site survey work I just received a Surface Pro 4 that seems to be very good. -jcw John Watters The University of Alabama Office of Information Technology 205-348-3992 -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Fletty Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2016 10:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] tablet for site survey work Anyone have an recommendations for a tablet for site survey work? -- Steve Fletty Network Design Engineer Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Phone: 612-625-1048 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.educause.edu_groups_&d=BQIGaQ&c=6vgNTiRn9_pqCD9hKx9JgXN1VapJQ8JVoF8oWH1AgfQ&r=rYfqH_8oTvcXxRxUI3x3m3Y7Nwgir7tnuoGbdZsrUM4&m=4PZNStcpGLYWyhMwLhxwJ8mUXRGpnEbfAqrJIkUP5WE&s=1K6rNtmHOhXunuJXgj4PSTUJkvTtqRq_xsBOFGNjUpk&e= . ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.educause.edu_groups_&d=BQIGaQ&c=6vgNTiRn9_pqCD9hKx9JgXN1VapJQ8JVoF8oWH1AgfQ&r=rYfqH_8oTvcXxRxUI3x3m3Y7Nwgir7tnuoGbdZsrUM4&m=4PZNStcpGLYWyhMwLhxwJ8mUXRGpnEbfAqrJIkUP5WE&s=1K6rNtmHOhXunuJXgj4PSTUJkvTtqRq_xsBOFGNjUpk&e= . ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
