Business professional

The business professional mainly uses their tablet for work. Their device is always perfectly organized, full of presentations, emails and documents. The business professional always has a slim, powerful model with a keyboard and stylus. Performance and multitasking are the trump cards here and the cloud is his best friend.

Creative artist

The creative artist sees his tablet as a digital canvas. With a stylus in hand, he conjures up works of art, creates graphics or edits photos. Apps such as Procreate or Adobe Photoshop are his main tools. His tablet has a high resolution and the largest possible screen so that every brushstroke is perfect.

Game guru

For the game guru, the tablet is a mobile games console. From Candy Crush to Fortnite, everything is on it and is played regularly. Performance and graphics are important to him, which is why his tablet has a powerful processor and a good GPU. He knows the best gaming apps and can often be found in multiplayer battles.

Streaming fan

Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Sky and blue TV - the streaming fan has them all. His tablet serves as a portable movie theater, ideal for long train rides or lazy Sundays on the couch. A large display and good sound are a must. The memory is full to the brim with films and series for every mood - and of course the tablet is also his faithful companion on vacation or during weekend trips.

Digital nomad

The digital nomad lives and works mainly on the move. His tablet is light and robust, with a long battery life and many connectivity options. Whether in cafés, on the beach or in ho(s)tels, they are always online and ready to work from anywhere. Apps such as Slack and Google Docs are indispensable for him and, of course, Zoom, Teams & Co.

Family manager

The family manager has a tablet that is used by everyone. It is full of learning apps for the children, recipes for dinner and organizational tools for leisure time and everyday family life. Robust protection is a must, as the tablet can withstand many a fall and sticky fingers. The family manager knows the best apps for parents and children and is a real entertainment artist.

Technology enthusiast

For the technology enthusiast, the tablet is a gadget that they know inside out. He tries out every new app and every update immediately and can spend hours looking at the latest features and specifications - and talking about them. His tablet is always the latest model and is regularly upgraded with the latest accessories and gadgets. When he buys a new model, he sells his used one as a second-hand item or donates it to a good cause - such as school projects abroad.

E-book worm

The e-book worm always has his tablet with him to browse through his digital books. His device is full of e-books, PDFs and audio books. He appreciates a lightweight display that is easy on the eyes and a long battery life so he can read for hours on end. Kindle, Kobo and Audible are certainly among his favorite apps. He also appreciates anti-glare displays and the corresponding (matt) protective films.

Social media star

The social media star lives online - the tablet is his portal to the world. He is constantly posting, liking and sharing content on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest etc. A good camera setup and fast internet are essential for him. He knows all the tricks and trends and always has the next post planned. He also prefers the larger display on his tablet for viewing, selecting and editing images.

As you can see, whether for work, creativity, entertainment or family management - tablets are just as versatile as you are as a user.
