I don't see a reason for these machines to have a cage match. A company should buy the devices that best suits their workers. Laptops for field command and tablets for tactical agents (or whatever your company calls their peeps). Your worker standing up in front of a crowd gets a tablet. That other worker at that convention table gets a laptop. Why is this so difficult to understand? If you make decisions based on bulk purchases, getting one or the other, you're just tying your hands before going for a swim.
