First, I'm not tech illiterate but I am an old head who has difficulty sorting through all of the crap online to find the answers I need. I'm hoping someone here has experience in what I'm looking for. Background: I have an electrical service company. I need to be able to build an estimate in front of the customer and have the capability to print the estimate as a contract for them. I have an app that I'm currently using and need to run android for it. Question: what is a good tablet and mobile printer setup that won't break the bank while providing good functionality? Price is a factor, and my previous experience with tablets was the click and wait because of a lack of processing power.

Thanks to all who respond.

I would go for a middle range Samsung or HP tablet because they are both multimillion companies that do their research before releasing products with their label on and have a lot to lose in marketing damages from one of their products not performing as expected. As for the printer, I would try to get the same printer brand as the tablet because normally they test it with their own hardware and the ecosystem and user interface will be more familiar.

I have a powerful computer and I still have to wait a few seconds for printing, I think it has to do with the wireless and not the lack of processing power. I read many reviews online and the Samsung Galaxy Tab always gets top marks, I can´t comment too much about HP other than my computer works very well with them.

Everyone is pointing me in the direction of a Samsung tablet. I'm going to go with what seems to be the consensus.
