raltd9245 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I am looking for a tablet to take to the field for measuring. Just looked at the: Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-P580NZKAXAR 10.1-Inch 16 GB, Tablet with S Pen for under $500.00. Any input Thanks Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_Morrison Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I don't think Chief runs on an Android platform. You will probably need something more like a Microsoft Surface Pro. If it's just for field measuring, you might want to consider something like an iPad Pro with LiDAR and use it with Canvas.io or magicplan.app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input Thanks Ron I have the Surface Book 3 Business class and it is/was a dream for as-builts. I just switched to the iphone 8 pro max with Lidar and had success with the first scan. I brought an apprentice to do the scan and while he was at it I went around and jotted down some control measurements in my phone. Took the two of us a 1/2 hour to do a 2000 sq ft 2-story home. I spent as much time in the office as I would've in the field with the surface book, but the convenience of being in the office is worth the investment for me.
