Key specifications and requirements to consider for other tablets
If you’d like to buy a different tablet, these are the specifications and features the team has identified to work well with Booker:
- 10" Touchscreen Tablet, with a minimum resolution of 1280x800
- Supports Power of Ethernet (PoE) or a separate data and power ports
- Supports a host of modern web browsers and browser updates
- Capable of full screen/lock capability for security
As Booker is a cloud-based application, the use of tablets or panels is through a specific URL setup for each room or resource via a web browser (and not App-based). The team is aware not all tablets support the application and therefore we recommend trialing and testing other tablets with the application before purchasing.
