![]() The USB ports on our old tablets are ruined from 3 years of adapter abuse. That is another pretty easy ROI element if you’re breaking adapters or USB ports. De Ja Vu! The Sidekick uses a single USB connection for all data! The less things sticking out of your tablet the less chance of damage.This means we are going to have to use a USB hub with no place to attach it (we hand carry the tablet while surveying) or use a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter to have both Proxim 8494’s sticking out the same side. Also, the X1 Yoga 3rd Gen has moved one of the USB-A sockets to the opposite side of the tablet.

Unfortunately the battery is not swap-able though. Historically we have always used tablets that have a swap-able battery but as the range of choice in this sector shrinks we have settled on the excellent Lenovo X1 Yoga.
