Different Form Factors
While a laptop may suite a certain number of use cases for CAPI, such as when sitting in front of a manager in a quite office with a table and a power plug nearby and performing an in-depth interview, it might become a surveyors worst nightmare when performing CAPI surveys in a busy airport or a train station. In these scenarios, a light weight PDA, that includes a big battery and a few well designed PDA Forms might be a much better choice, one which will make the survey a much more effective one.
Other scenarios might include the requirement to show videos or pictures to the person being interviewed and a PDA might not suffice while still a laptop is too heavy and too cumbersome to hand over to the person being interviewed. In these cases a lightweight tablet with a few well designed tablet forms might be your perfect choice.
