Kiosk Hardware Recommendations
Choosing the right tablet and label printer keeps your visitor kiosk fast, readable, and reliable across high-traffic lobbies and unstaffed entry points.
Tablet recommendations
Use a 12.9″–14″ tablet for optimal readability and touch accuracy at the kiosk.
| Tablet | Screen size | Why it works | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ | 12.9″ | Top overall kiosk choice. Excellent balance of large screen and stability, superior touch precision for expedited check-in, robust kiosk lock-down (Guided Access, MDM), extended OS and security support, and wide availability of professional mounting solutions. | — |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra | 14.6″ | Leading large-format Android option. 14.6″ AMOLED display with excellent visibility, strong performance, and Android kiosk/device-owner mode support. Well suited to form-intensive or accessibility-centered interfaces. | Very large footprint — requires a sturdy stand or wall mount. |
The iPad Pro 12.9″ is ideal for high-traffic areas and professional environments. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is best suited for unstaffed or semi-staffed installations that prioritize visibility.
