Is it possible to get an iPad from PwC given the amount I travel for work? I would use it for work on flights which are no less than twice a month. I'm in tax. It is a legitimate business.

iPads are given to senior managers and above for use primarily to assist in review (rather than detailed preparation of work papers which require a laptop). What level are you? If you're a staff then no way. If a senior/manager and you can convince the partner then maybes

Nope, not unless you are a Partner or MD. They get $1,500 annually to pay for gadgets.

Really a tablet? How will the partners type review comments? Let me guess they will type letter by letter in the Note app. Bahahaha

I just switched to a tablet PC.

The technology bonus paid to MDs and partners is more like $3-4k
