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 have no comment as far as printing goes.

If you want a tablet with some power then it's going to be pricey. The cheap tablets are not going to have a fast enough processor or enough memory. And don't even think about getting a tablet directly from China, it's a bad idea period.

Samsung makes good, high end, Android tablets.

Are they the same level as an iPad compared to an average tablet?

Samsung tablets are up there with iPads and the Surface. Again you're paying for features and build quality.

Processing power is the only feature im concerned with. I hope I don't have to pay for all of the other features just to get the one I need.
