Which tablets are you using for Kinnser?

I'm thinking about buying my own tablet, because the agency-provided one is, IMHO, too small (8 in) to use for quick in-home charting. I tried to buy an affordable laptop that I thought would work, and it did, until I realized that the little green house wasn't appearing and I couldn't have my patients sign on the screen. I need a tablet that will allow me to use all of the functions of Kinnser on the tablet itself, including being able to sign on the screen and access the little green house. Does anyone have any advice for a good tablet?

Look into something like the MS Surface PRO. HP make some similar styled 2in1's - they have pens to sign as well. I've had a Surface Pro for a little over 3 years and love it.

We use Lenovo. It's pretty good size too- like 10 in maybe . I'd have to look and get the actual model.

Thank you :-) I decided to go with the iPad 12 inch since my cell phone company gave me a deal on it and let me try it for 2 weeks before I made a commitment. I've found that it works pretty well. But thank you both for your suggestions. I appreciate the help!
