What is a tablet computer for? How to choose a tablet: an instruction for those who don't want to be wrong. Tablet PC for games
We figure out how to choose a good, high-quality and inexpensive tablet
The shops consumer electronics littered with a variety of tablets. At first it seems that they all differ only in size and price tag. Even outwardly, the devices are very similar! How do you choose the right model for yourself? The answer is simple - read this article. We promise that after reading the material, you can easily choose the most suitable tablet for yourself.
Sometimes, when choosing a tablet, a consumer is guided by secondary parameters. We wish you to avoid these errors. In this article, some characteristics are not mentioned precisely for the reason that you should not pay attention to them. In a word, we will be happy if this manual will help you!
Choosing an operating system
The operating system is a collection utilities available on any sufficiently complex electronic device. It is its presence that allows "ordinary" applications to use the hardware capabilities of the gadget, provides interaction with the user, etc. Modern tablets are equipped with one of three popular operating systems: iOS, Android or Windows. And also on the shelves of stores there are "tablets" on which a pair is installed at once operating systems... But this is more an exception to the rule and concerns the Android / Windows combination.
iOS
The most stable operating system is iOS. It is optimized as much as possible, due to which it does not need a large amount of RAM. Choosing an iOS tablet, you get thought out in the details user interface and a huge number of diverse applications. But be prepared for the fact that many of them will be paid. This OS is the property of Apple, therefore it is installed only on its iPad tablets, the cost of which is higher than devices with Android or Windows on board. But the products of the Cupertines have the longest technical support, and the performance of even outdated generations of "apple" gadgets is not inferior to competing proposals built on modern hardware platforms. A huge advantage of the entire family of iOS devices is the presence of the most convenient ecosystem. Of course, to take full advantage of it, you need to be the owner of more than one device with an apple on the lid. back side closed iOS - the complexity of the direct exchange of user files and the limited customization of the interface "for yourself". Well, the impossibility of expanding the available memory capacity scares off many potential buyers.
Pros: easy to use, easy to learn, has a developed and convenient ecosystem.
Minuses: closed platform, memory cards are not supported, exchange problems third party files, impossibility of customization (installation of themes and other utilities that change the interface).
Android
Operating room Android system is open and free, which is why most tablet manufacturers choose it. Develops software Google... The system is regularly updated, but owners of budget devices may not feel it. Some manufacturers are simply too lazy to modify the firmware for those tablet computers that have been replaced by new models. The openness of Android means for users the ease of replacing "standard" applications: player, browser, keyboard, dialer, etc. Another thing is that changing really fundamental things presupposes the presence of "straight" hands and often entails a loss of guarantee. The most unpleasant feature this operating system - an increase in appetite in relation to system resources and a propensity for digital garbage fouling. If a couple of generations of Android ago, sufficient RAM was considered whole gigabyte, then in 2018 they are already talking about 2 Gb Total... As for the "garbage" - the built-in OS tools have not yet learned how to deal with it successfully. In especially advanced cases, the device can be returned to a comfortable operating speed only full reset with the loss of ALL user data. Fortunately, such a drastic method is rarely required.
Pros: rich functionality, the ability to change the interface at your discretion, a large number of free applications.
Minuses: rare system updates on budget tablets, increased resource requirements for stable operation.
Windows
Tablet computers with Windows on board have been around for a long time. But it wasn't until a few years ago that they started to get rid of fans and processors that drain battery power. And with the release of the tenth version of this operating system, the interface of such devices has become much more user-friendly. On the one hand, Microsoft programmers creatively adapted many necessary things, for example, quickly showing active applications, implemented a Back button and a notification center. On the other hand, Windows 10 has learned to automatically switch to a more convenient mode when working with the keyboard, and the corresponding algorithm is configured. Compared to Android, this system better optimized for low-power hardware platforms. But this same feature has become an indirect reason that the current Windows-tablets are either high-performance solutions, or frankly weak, but with a keyboard. Well, the main advantage of the Microsoft operating system is the ability to use almost any "adult" application. Some of them even without a keyboard, if only the power of the filling allows.
Pros: the most convenient environment for full-fledged work with a variety of content, support for third-party peripherals.
Minuses: extremely limited number of offers with an average level of performance.
We figure out which tablet size to choose
Photo: planshetclub.ru
7-8 inches
Portable tablets are great for use at home, work or school. This is facilitated by their minimal dimensions and weight. It is with the help of such "tablets" that people read books, listen to music, watch movies or play on the way. Compact tablets are convenient as car navigators and mobile surfing tools. Finally, it is the optimal size for children's hands.
Pros: compact size, minimum weight, low cost.
Minuses: the resolution often turns out to be low, and the filling is not powerful enough.
10 inch
The best tablet choice for home use. At the same time, modern tablet models have become so thin and light that there is no difficulty in transporting them. Large dimensions allow you to place such a device in the case speaker system a better battery with a higher capacity. At the same time, many manufacturers believe that such a large tablet does not need a GSM talk module, even if the circuit design provides support for 3G technology.
Pros: the size of the display is suitable for a wide range of applications. In both mobile and stationary use cases.
Minuses: in budget models, graininess is noticeable due to insufficient screen resolution, many tablets lack a telephone module, Windows devices do not differ in productive stuffing.
More than 10 inches
There are now also larger tablet computers. They are endowed with a screen with a diagonal of 11 to 13 inches. Usually these are "pills" with installed iOS or Windows, similarly sized Android devices are produced much less frequently. It is clear that such devices are not very mobile with regard to mobility and, as a rule, they are focused on professional use.
Pros: best size for comfortable work with both keyboard and stylus. Good for watching movies.
Minuses: too large dimensions and solid weight.
Choosing the best processor for your tablet
Photo: paulov.ru
Strictly speaking, the "motor" of most tablets consists of several specialized units, technologically combined on a single substrate, and it is called a single-chip system (System-on-a-Chip or SoC). The only exceptions are high-performance solutions of a professional level, built on Intel processors Core M or ULV, but we will not consider the features of the latter.
Number of cores
So, a typical SoC contains a number of computing units (cores) with an ARM architecture. Again, the exception is the single-chip systems of the family Intel Atom working with x86 / x64 instructions. The nuclei can be combined in the so-called. clusters and this is done in order to optimize energy consumption. Let's say half of them work for high frequency and is included when it is necessary to serve requests for a large computing power. The second one "works" all the rest of the time, and since the nuclei in it are relatively low-frequency, the energy is consumed much less. It is impossible to give unequivocal advice - what is the optimal number of cores in this or that case. For example, the 6-core A11 Bionic chip ( Apple) will tear the latest 8-core Helio P40 (from Mediatek), as they say, to shreds. The maximum that we can recommend here - pay attention to the "freshness" of the kernels. When choosing a processor for a tablet, it is best to focus on the Cortex A55 / A75 generation, at least on the A53 / A73 bundle (energy-efficient / high-speed, respectively), as well as their custom versions.
Video subsystem
The second component of a mobile processor is an accelerator - a kind of integrated graphics card. If the tablet is not going to be used for games or work with complex graphics, you can not pay much attention to the performance of this node. Otherwise, you have to take into account the speed with which the video accelerator is capable of performing floating point operations (Flops). In addition, the screen resolution also matters. Everyone has their own idea of a comfortable refresh rate, as well as the requirements for graphics quality settings. Nevertheless, we would venture to assert that tablets with SoCs of about 100 GFlops have sufficient gaming performance.
SoCs and their manufacturers
Developed by itself ARM architecture the company of the same name was engaged, which licensed its solutions to everyone. The rights to this intellectual property are currently acquired by the Japanese corporation SoftBank. There are about one and a half thousand licensees in total, but we are interested in the following products:
APPLE Ax
Based on licensed, Cupertinos are developing their own version of the kernels. PowerVR accelerators from Imagination Technologies are used as a graphics subsystem. The single-chip A11 Bionic system already has its own GPU, but tablets on this SoC are not yet produced. Very powerful chips in every sense, even the outdated A9. There are fewer kernels, frequencies are lower, and all competitors are affected.
Pros: Apple tablets have really high gaming and overall performance and support all the most advanced features.
Minuses: overpriced.
Samsung also prefers to tweak the stock cores. Its SoCs of the 7870, 7880, 7885 series and all eight-thousandth are relevant now. To process graphics, they use older Mali accelerators (T830, T880, G71). What can I say - the power of such a system is enough for all the needs of the tablet and its owner. If necessary, South Koreans put third-party SoCs in their devices.
Pros: Samsung tablets characterized by excellent performance and the presence of all modern "bells and whistles".
Minuses: price, sometimes unoptimized firmware.
INTEL ATOM
The feature of this single-chip system is the maximum low power consumption... The company managed to "squeeze" its thermal package to a couple of watts, and Intel now does not want to change this position. Accordingly, we are not even talking about any performance records. Unfortunately, low-budget Windows tablets are based on the Atom platform.
Pros: tablets on Intel Atom chips are affordable and have decent battery life.
Minuses: the power of a single-chip system is sufficient only for simple tasks.
This SoC family is produced by a subsidiary of Huawei for a portion of the parent brand's mobile devices. The Chinese do not bother with modernizing the stock ARM cores, so their single-chip systems usually work a little slower than their "classmates". Just like in Exynos, Kirin chips are equipped with Mali GPUs. The trouble is, HiSilicon's engineers (or management) like to save money. Where Samsung's SoC uses a 12-core Mali version, mobile processors Huawei often dispenses with 4-cores. With all the ensuing consequences.
Pros: a brand with very decent flagship-level chips.
Minuses: mid-budget SoCs have good overall performance and mediocre gaming performance.
MEDIATEK
The brand of the same name is more complete than all its competitors in the segment of inexpensive solutions. The company uses off-the-shelf cores and graphics (PowerVR and Mali). It is not engaged in optimization, does not have its own production, and financial opportunities do not allow it to invest partners. As a result, MediaTek's single-chip systems are lagging behind alternative offerings, as they are manufactured according to outdated technological standards. On paper, such SoCs can be beautiful, but in real life not really. But the company's chips just work perfectly with GPS.
Pros: a huge range of entry-level and mid-range single-chip systems.
Minuses: noticeably inferior to the leaders of the industry in terms of technology.
SNAPDRAGON
The most popular and most widespread single-chip systems. They are developed by Qualcomm based on deeply processed licensed cores and its own Adreno accelerators. Such SoCs are characterized by excellent indicators of general and gaming performance, good energy efficiency, as well as other "goodies". The main disadvantage is the increased cost.
Pros: Snapdragon chips make excellent tablets of different levels.
Minuses: are relatively expensive, the most available solutions they are inferior to their direct competitors on other platforms.
RockChip, Spreadtrum and others like them
They specialize in ultra-budget solutions. Stock cores and accelerators, the most "rough" technological standards possible at the time of production - no miracles can be expected from such single-chip systems.
Pros: matching tablets have tempting price tags.
Minuses: suitable for the most undemanding users. As a rule, they have an outdated set of wireless interfaces and do not impress with their autonomy at all.
Technological process
We have already mentioned this term several times, it remains to clarify what the norms used when creating a SoC affect. It's very simple, the finer the topology of the chip, the higher its operating frequencies (performance) and lower power consumption. The most technologically advanced mobile crystals are now manufactured at 10 nm standards. The technical process of 14-16 nm is also quite modern.
RAM
Photo: acunnstatic.cdn1.sadececdn.com
It is a storage device with quick access to the content that needs constant "maintenance" of the stored information. When the power is turned off, the latter simply disappears. During the tablet operation, the operating system kernel, various services, running applications, as well as most of the data used by them are located in RAM. If there is not enough space for a priority task, some user programs running in the background can stop and move to the so-called cache. With a more rigid version, only important data remains there, and the applications themselves are completely "unloaded". The bad news is that a significant shortage of "operatives" leads not only to a slowdown in the operation of the device, but also to the active use of the built-in memory, ie. its accelerated wear. The more applications you are going to use at the same time (for example, the client social network, messenger, music player, game), the more impressive your tablet should be for this characteristic. For hardcore gamers, we recommend that you focus on the amount of memory with an "extra" gigabyte. At the same time, a clear excess of this resource entails increased battery consumption.
1 GB
A critical minimum, sufficient for the system and one or two simple user applications. In principle, low-power devices have such a volume, which are not suitable for anything else. It is best if the operating system of a tablet of this class will have a lightweight user interface. Ideally, a "bare" Android.
Pros: affordable price.
Minuses: serious restrictions on the number of programs running in the background.
2 GB
Adequate memory size for most applications with a moderate appetite for system resources. It will be enough for several background applications, five or two open tabs in the browser and display the picture on the screen with a resolution not higher than Full HD. "Heavy" games will go, but practically all other tasks will have to be stopped. This applies to Android and Windows. Operating room iOS system will not experience any problems with memory in 2 GB.
Pros: the lack of RAM is almost never felt.
Minuses: insufficient volume for especially demanding games and resolutions higher than Full HD.
3 GB
Comfortable amount of RAM for the vast majority of situations and scenarios of using the tablet. Guarantees stable work system with a 2K screen. Perceptible delays can be observed only when two resource-intensive applications are running in parallel.
Pros: there will always be enough memory, except in specific cases.
Minuses: Hardly ever.
4 GB or more
More than three gigabytes of RAM are still relatively rare in tablets. This volume does not limit the user in any way, it will be enough for any number of applications and all three-dimensional games.
Pros: lack of any restrictions.
Minuses: high price.
Additional functionality

Memory card slot
Any tablet computer has a certain amount of non-volatile memory. It is also called constant. It stores the operating system and user data (applications, music, videos, documents, and other files). Expand available space helps card slot microSD memory... Unfortunately, it is absent in Apple products, so you will have to decide right away, the iPad with how much internal memory to buy.
Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G
Before buying a tablet, be sure to familiarize yourself with which modules are used to connect to the Internet. Budget devices offer data transmission only via Wi-Fi. Slightly more expensive devices have a SIM card slot. In this case, you can connect to 3G networks. Modern models are capable of working with mobile networks fourth generation... It will not be superfluous for you to clarify which LTE bands the tablet supports. Domestic operators can exchange data on the B3, B7, B20, B38 and B40 bands. But there is no special variety in high-speed Internet connection capabilities among 4G tablets yet. Returning to Wi-Fi, recall that this wireless interface can operate at 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies. With frequent use of the tablet in an apartment building or a large business center, it is worth making a choice in favor of the dual-band model.
GPS navigation
Most tablets can successfully perform the functions of a navigator, but there are separate models built using a universal radio module. Those. supports device cellular networks- there is a GPS. Examples include “just” Wi-Fi and Cellular versions of the iPad.
Cameras
When choosing a tablet, you should pay attention to the camera last. Now a rare manufacturer builds decent optics and a sensor into the "tablet". The resolution of the matrix of the main module is most often equal to five or eight megapixels. The quality of photos does not exceed that obtained when using a smartphone of an average price level. There is nothing to say about budget tablets - they give out blurry or too noisy pictures.
Keyboard support
In general, there are no fundamental restrictions for using a Bluetooth keyboard in any tablet. And many models with an operating room Windows system have full-size USB ports, which makes possible connection a manipulator or a radio input device via an appropriate adapter. The peculiarity of the listed options is that such methods do not guarantee the stability of the pairing, and they are also accompanied by an increased power consumption. If you plan to use a tablet for active work with text, choose a tablet with a supplied or optional keyboard connected via a mechanical connector.

When choosing a tablet for drawing, first of all, we pay attention to:
- stylus- it must be included in the kit.
- display- resolution and diagonal should be as high as possible.
Take a look at the operating system additionally. For Windows, a huge number of graphic editors, but not every tablet will run Photoshop. Therefore, in some cases it is worth looking towards Android, which is much better optimized for use on portable device... The professional iOS models are ideal for digital creativity, but they also cost the right amount.
Tablet PC for the "Internet"

If the tablet is bought primarily for surfing the Internet, when choosing, pay attention to:
- display- its diagonal should be large enough to easily read the small print.
- 3G or 4G support- thanks to it, you will be able to access the Internet through mobile networks.
It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the amount of RAM. The larger it is, the more stable the browser will work, the more tabs you can open. The operating system is of the least interest. Surfing the internet is the same for iOS, Android or Windows.
Tablet PC for games

If you are choosing a tablet for games, then pay attention to:
- CPU- you need to focus on a model with a powerful graphics subsystem.
- RAM - many modern games demanding on its volume, they need at least 3 GB.
Additionally, you should familiarize yourself with the capacity of the battery. Even a tablet with a solid enough battery won't let you play for longer than four hours in a row. What can we say about Chinese devices with a tiny battery ...
Tablet computer for a child
Photo: gursesintour.com
If you are going to give a tablet to a child, then pay attention to:
- the presence of a children's regime- there is absolutely no need for a child to go to "adult" sites, and the user interface of the device should be colorful and extremely simple.
- accessories- the device will have to withstand increased loads, so a thick protective bumper will be very useful.
Pay attention to the possibility of the "growth" of the tablet along with the development of the child. Specialized models are great in terms of ease of access to children's content, but they don't have a lot of potential.
It is impossible for a modern person to hide from technology. Newfangled gadgets are coming on us from all sides, designed to make life easier. The tablet is one of them. Such a device has a touch display, differs high performance and wide functionality. The huge advantage of these products is their portability - you can easily take it with you on the road by placing it in your bag. small size... Many people know that this device allows you to read documents, watch videos, listen to music. But what else might you need a tablet for? Let's try to figure it out!
A tablet PC can greatly simplify many tasks
Experts highlight a lot of advantages of this portable gadget. Let's consider in more detail the most important of them.
Multimedia
With this miracle of technology, you can conveniently use various multimedia files. We are talking about videos, photographs, pictures, music. With a graphic tablet, you can conveniently and simply show your photos to your friends. In addition, this option will come in handy at work, especially if you are a salesman, insurance agent, architect, artist or decorator. Such people often have to give important presentations to a small audience, and with the help of a graphic tablet, you can show your portfolio without carrying a ream of paper or a heavy laptop.
In addition, these products often help out on the road to keep a bored child busy - show him a funny cartoon on YouTube or download an educational game.
Reading
Another plus of tablets is ease of reading. Of course, it is very difficult to replace books because their smell and touch are priceless. But, using gadgets, you can solve many practical issues, regardless of the "aesthetics" of the process. One device can fit a huge amount of printed materials, and this, you see, is a significant advantage.
Planning, work
A graphic tablet computer makes it possible to distribute plans and various tasks, make a schedule, work with postmen, etc. mobile phone, but it is tablets that provide real comfort in this area.
The device is also great at work - in particular, at all kinds of meetings. Its participants will pay more attention to you with such an assistant, any question can be described more interestingly and demonstrated clearly. Using various programs, you can seriously facilitate your work.
To understand why you still need a tablet, you can ask designers and architects - such equipment is simply irreplaceable for them. With the stylus (special pen for touch screens), you can draw a real masterpiece! It is used to create layouts, sketches, cartoons, to make calculations and create drawings.
Parameters and price
Many users argue that a graphics tablet is a more profitable device than laptops (the latter look very bulky compared to compact gadgets). In addition, on tablet computers, you can work with big amount information, they make it possible to use latest games and utilities.
At its cost, such equipment is cheaper than a laptop. To purchase a modern, powerful graphics tablet, $ 500 is enough (for the same amount, you are unlikely to find a laptop with similar specifications).
Practicality
Why do you need a tablet besides all this? You can take it with you on trips without worrying about safety. Even after a fall, the device often does not lose its characteristics, the main thing is to buy a cover in time so as not to break the screen.
When traveling, such an assistant will provide an opportunity to use 3G, Wi-Fi, many dictionaries, travel guides, detailed maps. And the presence of a slot for a microSD card allows you to upload an almost unlimited amount of useful data!
Orientation on the ground is a definite plus of using graphic tablet computers. Many people by virtue of their profession (courier service, for example) have greatly simplified their lives by using navigation maps on the tablet.
In the modern world, the development of computer technology is proceeding at an unprecedented pace. Various devices are constantly appearing, which are quite similar in their properties, but intended to perform specific tasks. Today, in consumer electronics stores, you can find a laptop, tablet, computer or smartphone for every taste. These devices are constantly being refined and modernized, which allows creators to make them multifunctional, and even mobile and autonomous. On this moment the tablet is very popular. It can be seen in most commercials, television shows and films, and on the Internet. At the same time, it appears in our field of vision so often that it arouses people's interest, and this, in turn, raises the question of what a tablet is for.
Device mobility
One of the main advantages of this device is its portability. Some tablet models are sized to fit in an inside jacket pocket. It should be noted that their energy consumption and heating is much less than that of other similar equipment. Also, the tablet allows you to provide a connection to the Internet in a way convenient for the user (in accordance with the model).
Internet
Answering the question of what a tablet is for, first of all, I would like to say about its ability to connect to Global network with help different systems implemented in specific model... At the same time, its mobility makes it possible to use the Internet everywhere, but rather big screen the device makes surfing the web pages as convenient and simple as on a stationary computer.
Set of texts
Starting to study the question "What is a tablet for?", Many do not even suspect that this device allows you to type texts very quickly. The fact is that the graphical interface has a large number of different programs, thanks to which the typing speed can significantly exceed that during normal work at the keyboard, which was recorded as a world record.
Computer in your pocket
V recent times the latest operating systems have been developed, including the famous Windows 8, which allows you to transfer all functions stationary computer to mobile devices. It is thanks to her that the question "What is a tablet for?" can be retrained into the question "What is a full-fledged mobile computer or a laptop? "The latest models of this device have full-fledged Windows on board and are not inferior to many laptops.
What is a graphics tablet for?
Special attention should be paid to devices with a large screen with special parameters. They are intended for graphic work and are in demand by artists and architects. These tablets have a high screen resolution and good parameters touch pad equipped with a laser pen. Usually they are equipped with a powerful graphics card and a fast processor, which, in turn, affects their price, although such a device is simply necessary for a true professional.
Hello dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. All that glitters is not gold. Like not all tech products that many people use, they are useful. Do you have to go far for examples? Surely everyone can name two or three products that, although they are used everywhere, you would not buy yourself.
“Spiner, toaster, sandwich maker - let others use them and call them at least 1000 times useful, they do not suit me personally. I would not spend even a penny on their purchase. " However, today we will not talk about them.
In this article, I want to tell you what tablets are for. I will tell you why and for whom they are needed, whether the tablet is suitable for working on the Internet, as well as many other things that will definitely be useful to you. By the end of the post, you will be able to decide whether you really need a tablet or whether it is better to save yourself the unnecessary expenses.
What is a tablet really
Quite frankly, I've had a variety of tablets ranging from the most expensive to the incredibly cheap. Regardless, don't expect me to start talking about their necessity, importance, and usefulness right now. I tend to admit my mistakes and try to be objective.
To start. What is a tablet? it big smartphone, the main task of which is not to make calls, but to all other functions - games, applications, a reader, and so on. You can both view news and publish your own photos.
Through a tablet, as a rule, you can also communicate via telephony, but you can also use Skype to communicate with friends and acquaintances via the Internet using a camera. The main thing is that there is a SIM card slot inside the device. Pay attention to this when choosing a gadget, otherwise you will only be able to connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. This is extremely inconvenient. The tablet is no longer 100% mobile.
Samsung tablets are considered very good. pay attention to Galaxy Tab A 7.0 ″ 8Gb ... It is not very large, but comfortable and functional. Naturally with a connector for sim cards.
Alternative to PC and smartphone
If you are thinking about buying a tablet to use it instead of a phone, as it once was with me, then I will immediately tell you that this is not too much good idea.
Tablet, still bigger regular phone, it is not very convenient to carry it with you. In a week or two, you will get tired of it and either you buy yourself a regular smartphone, or you will stop taking your tablet with you all the time. As an alternative to the phone, this gadget, in my opinion, is not suitable.
There are also those who want to use a tablet as an alternative to a laptop. For example, at one time I wanted to write articles, taking with me not a heavy PC, but a small gadget. I think that many have also thought about this. And again the tablet itself in this case does not show itself in the best way.
The on-screen keyboard does not allow you to type quickly, work slows down, and you start to lose your temper. Fortunately, it will not be a problem to order wireless keyboard for the tablet. It turns the gadget into a pretty decent little laptop that's easy to carry with you. For copywriters who enjoy working outside the home, this isn't a bad solution.
However, do not forget about the specifics of the tablet. There are versions special programs for PCs that won't install on Android or iOS. You will have to use which ones to install instead of the usual Office, Photoshop and so on.
A tablet is not 100 percent a good alternative to a computer. This is an independent thing that is needed if you need it, pardon the tautology - a tablet.
When and who needs a tablet
If you have small children, then a tablet is an indispensable thing. You can include cartoons and all sorts of videos from YouTube, but at the same time do not worry too much about the baby's eyesight, as well as the fact that he will somehow break something in him.
On a laptop, a child finds a thousand buttons that are so wonderful to press. This does not happen with a tablet. By the age when the baby begins to figure out where and why to press, his interest in destruction fades a little. He already understands that this thing is quite an important thing and should not be broken.
How to choose a tablet for a child? I recommend paying attention to the exhibits at a low price, since there is still a risk of breakage, because we are talking about a child. One more important point- large screen. By the way, there are special tablets for children, for example, Turbo MonsterPad 7 .
When is a tablet necessary for an adult? If you can't live without a phone. Play games and use applications often - you need a tablet. If you love watching movies or reading books from your mobile device, consider purchasing this gadget. The screen is much larger, and therefore it will be more convenient for you to use it. This thing will not disappoint you.
For work, it can also be suitable if you show some kind of presentation, often work with mail via phone, and so on. There is a whole layer of people who really need a tablet. Recently, I really like Lenovo, so I can offer you them. Tab 3 Plus for 16,500. A very profitable purchase.
Hope this article was helpful to you. Don't forget to subscribe to the blog newsletter and group Start-Luck Vkontakte ... Until next time and good luck in your endeavors.
What is a tablet? This question is now being asked by many. Tablet PC- this is the new kind modern mobile devices. His main feature is an touch screen taking up most of free space tablet. He is the only input device.
modern tablets
You are familiar with what a tablet is, now you should consider its "stuffing" in detail. To begin with, like any other PC, it has its own operating system. At the moment there are three namely: Android, Windows 8 and Apple iOS.
Windows 8 is a relatively recent operating system. Its main advantage is compatibility with any software developed for Windows. The most popular tablets running this OS are the Asus VivoTab, and the Samsung ATIV Smart PC.
Apple iOS is the operating system that Apple-made devices run on: with Retina Display.
Android - it is the second most popular system, a direct competitor to Apple. Most of the tablets were released on Android base OS.
What is a tablet for?
A tablet is, first of all, a device not for work, but for viewing information. This means that you can read on it electronic books, surf the Internet, play video games, watch movies and listen to music. But writing a book, creating music or an application on this device is quite difficult. Laptops and netbooks are better suited for these purposes.
Surveys have shown that users are most likely to use a Tablet PC:
- 85% - for games;
- 79% - for search the information you need online;
- 75% - for correspondence via E-mail and Skype;
- 62% - for reading news feeds and magazines;
- 57% - to visit forums and social networks;
- 52% - for listening to music and watching movies;
- 43% - for a variety of purchases in online stores.
How to choose a tablet
First of all, select one of the operating systems described above. The choice depends on how convenient you will be to work with your tablet PC. It is also desirable for you to be clearly aware of why you need a tablet. For watching movies and listening to music on the go, get some inexpensive technology from capacious battery, for video games - the "top" configuration based on Android or Apple iOS, and for creating an image - the last Apple model iPad.
How much is a tablet
The question "What is a tablet?" Is not as important as "How much does it cost?" The price for this type of equipment fluctuates quite a lot. For example, Prestigio MultiPad(Android 4.0) performs well when watching movies, listening to music, reading books and surfing the Internet, and it costs relatively little, while the cost of the latest iPad with Retina Display is quite high. But this, as they say, is a matter of taste. For those who have a lot of money and have a desire to buy the perfect equipment with the best branded hardware, there is no better gadget to find.
It is also worth mentioning the existence of hybrids - devices that combine several devices at the same time. This is, for example, Asus PadFone 2, which combines a tablet PC and a smartphone, or Asus Transformer Pad is a tablet with a keyboard and the ability to connect a mouse or any other USB device.
In conclusion, I would like to note that the main thing is to clearly understand what a tablet is and what you will do with it when you buy it. And then you will not be the least bit disappointed in your choice.
