Power BI on tablets and iPads: usage features

Microsoft Power BI is one of the world’s most popular business analytics tools. However, the classic version of Power BI Desktop only works on Windows and typically requires a fairly powerful computer. Aristeem solves these limitations by allowing you to run Power BI in the cloud —this makes it possible to use Power BI on iPad, Android tablets, or any other device via a browser.

Power BI on Tablet: How It Works

Aristeem allows you to launch the full version of Power BI Desktop on tablets running iOS (iPad) or Android. The interface is streamed in real time, so you get access to full analytics capabilities — just like on a Windows PC.

Key Features:

•     The Power BI interface is streamed from the cloud to your tablet, providing full access to tools and features.
•     The touch interface automatically adapts to your screen size for optimal usability.
•     Most basic operations can be performed via touchscreen — for advanced tasks, using a Bluetooth keyboard or stylus is recommended.

This makes Power BI for iPad or Power BI on Android tablets a realistic option for real-world data analysis, even in mobile settings.

What is Cloud-Based Power BI from Aristeem?

All data processing happens on a remote server, and the user interacts with Power BI Desktop through a secure, high-quality streaming session in the browser. Whether you’re using Power BI for iPad, Chromebook, or even a low-end laptop, the experience remains smooth and responsive.
