New research from Forrester reveals that 62% of information workers who use or would like to use a tablet would prefer to use it with a keyboard.
Despite this, the bulk of tablets used by information workers in the US and Europe offer distinctly touch-first experiences. Apple’s iPad and various Android-based models make up 86% of the tablets used for work purposes today.
However, the report reveals that many workers believe they would benefit from using a keyboard:
* 35% of information workers would like a tablet with a keyboard that turns into a small laptop;
* 27% prefer a wireless keyboard; and
* 34% of workers reported that, “I’d rather just use a regular tablet without a keyboard and use a computer for tasks that require a lot of typing”.
