Today, the electronics market is littered with a huge number of tablets, both from world-famous companies and from unknown Chinese manufacturers. In this regard, it is very difficult to understand which tablet is better. Choosing a decent device that meets all the needs of the user becomes a daunting task.
First of all, existing tablets can be divided into categories according to the type of operating system used:
- Google Android. Used on devices from most manufacturers. This OS is most popular due to its openness, large number of applications, usability and relative reliability.
- Apple iOS. Installs only on Apple hardware. This operating system is very reliable, simple and straightforward to use, well-developed and optimized. Thanks to this, Apple devices are rightfully considered the fastest and most productive in the world.
- Windows 8 / Windows RT. These operating systems were developed by Microsoft to work with touch devices. There is a lot of criticism in their address related to the low quality of development, lack of compatibility with programs developed for classic Windows. These OS, and therefore the devices based on them, are the least popular.
By choosing the operating system that is most convenient for you, you can greatly simplify the choice of a tablet. It is believed that Apple's iPad tablets are more intended for gaming, surfing the Internet and other entertainment. Working on documents created in Windows using the iPad is difficult, since you will need to download paid programs from the Appstore to edit them. The pluses include a huge number of games and applications developed for iOS. In addition, it should be noted that choosing Apple, you have to pay a lot for the brand. Correcting system errors and updating the OS in Apple is possible only when new official updates are released.
On the Android operating system, the choice of applications is less, however, all the most necessary programs are easily downloaded from the play market. In this case, you can use both free and paid versions. Android lags behind iOS in animation fluidity and touch response. The main advantage of the Android OS is the ability to directly transfer files to the device without the need for an Internet connection. On iOS, you need to download a special iTunes application for this. Also, unlike Google Android, iOS does not support Adobe Flash.
After the choice of the operating system is made, you can proceed to the choice of the tablet. If you have opted for Apple's iOS, then the best tablets from this manufacturer today are the Apple iPad 4 and Apple iPad mini. They are available in various modifications, the main difference being the memory capacity. These devices have a magnificent modern design, a powerful processor. iPad 4 features an unparalleled Retina display with premium performance. It has the highest resolution among analogs: 2048x1536 pixels. An undeniable advantage is the ability to choose from a large number of different accessories produced specifically for Apple tablets, such as covers.
If the choice is made in favor of Google Android, then the best tablets today can be called Google Nexus 7, Google Nexus 10, Sony Xperia Tablet Z. You can also take a closer look at the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity, equipped with a detachable keyboard dock, although the cost of this tablet relatively high. All of these tablets offer excellent performance and deserve to be on the buy list. It is rather difficult to single out any specific model, since the final decision largely depends on the individual requirements of each individual person, to the performance and design of the device. Therefore, everyone should answer the question of which tablet is better for himself.
