Tablet recommendations:
For visitor registration kiosks, we recommend a 12.9″–14″ tablet for optimal readability and touch accuracy. Our top recommendation is the iPad Pro 12.9″ for its reliability and kiosk support. For customers preferring Android, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is an excellent large-screen alternative.
Apple iPad Pro 12.9″ - Best overall kiosk tablet
Why it wins:
-
Excellent balance of large screen + stability
-
Best-in-class touch accuracy for fast check-in flows
-
Strong kiosk / single-app lock-down (Guided Access, MDM)
-
Longest OS + security support lifecycle
-
Broad ecosystem of professional mounts and enclosures
Best for: High-traffic lobbies, Class A office buildings, customer-facing environments where polish and reliability matter most.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra (14.6″) - Best large-format Android option
Why it’s great:
-
Massive 14.6″ AMOLED display, extremely readable from distance
-
Excellent performance and responsiveness
-
Strong support for Android kiosk/device-owner mode
-
Works well for form-heavy or accessibility-focused kiosk UIs
-
Trade-off - Very large footprint, requires a sturdy stand or wall mount
Trade-off
-
Very large footprint — requires a sturdy stand or wall mount
Best for: Unstaffed or semi-staffed kiosks where visibility and clarity are critical.
Printer recommendations:
Badge printing on the Visitor Kiosk requires a Brother QL series label printer with Wi-Fi and/or LAN (Ethernet) connectivity. The printer must be on the same network as the kiosk device.
