Traveling with the tablet: tips for the trip

The tablet has established itself as the most popular travel companion alongside the smartphone. It is far lighter and handier than the laptop, easy to use and offers everything your heart desires on the go.

Tablets for travelling: It doesn't work without a mobile network

If you are thinking about buying a tablet as a travel companion, you should make sure that you buy a variant with mobile communications. Of course, these are more expensive than the variants that only go online via WiFi , but the next train ride in the still WiFi-free ICE or waiting at an airport when the meagerly measured 30 minutes of free WiFi is used up makes sense mobile phone pays.

There are a variety of data plans available for tablets today, so there is something for everyone. For example, if you're on the road every weekend, it's best to have a flat rate and a contract. On the other hand, if you only take longer trips from time to time, you are best served with a daily or weekly flat rate. In any case, it is important to have a sufficiently large data volume, for example if films are to be streamed via Netflix & Co. on a four-hour train journey. If the data volume is too small, the surfing speed is throttled to GPRS like on a smartphone - and the film fun is over.

What else does the tablet need

In any case, you should have a good protective cover: If you put the tablet in your pocket without paying attention, you shouldn't be surprised if the screen gets scratched. Most protective cases also offer the practical additional function that the tablet can be placed on airplane or train tables. Ideal for anyone who wants to watch films and series.

Also important is a shape converter with which the files are optimized for the tablet. Then your favorite applications will also run in perfect quality on the tablet. A good all-rounder for videos is still the freeware VLC.

Anyone who travels a lot should of course also have the appropriate travel apps on their tablet. Trains are still best tracked in real time using Deutsche Bahn's train radar app. This could be particularly amusing if you want to know where the advertised 40-minute late train is actually located and why it's late. For air travelers there is Flightradar24 to monitor all flights that are currently in the air. Here, too, you can often see whether your own flight arrives late at the departure airport and therefore takes off late again.
