Looking to redesign our optical and debating whether we need computers at our dispensing tables (running new electricity) vs just using tablets.
Do you have dedicated computers at the dispensing tables?
Anyone using tablets efficiently at the dispensing tables?
Thanks

We have had a laptop, recently replaced with a tablet. Our optician prefers the laptop. Easier to manage and handle.

We use Microsoft Surface Pro 4 laptops. They provide the best of both worlds. Crystal is not ideal for finger/stylus use so having the keyboard is essential in my opinion.

We used to have the 15 inch hp envy but someone broke a screen so all new 19 inch laptops were purchased. I wanted the tablet functionality but opticians never used it. They hated everything about tablet mode but the ability to take pictures anywhere, so pt could see what the glasses would really look like. a good battery life was all i looked for. all run with no added electricity. just shutdown at night and plugged in for next day. Electricity WAS my biggest problem.
It's a concrete floor and no outlets that wouldn't trip someone. especially with 3 chairs at each of the 3 tables in the optical area. i am lucky if I go a week without hitting something and bruising my leg...I hide in back and try to do the admin work, i should be doing.

For sure the surface pro tablets and I prefer the specific bluetooth keyboards that are recommended for them! Weve tried a lot, and they are the best!
