Choosing a tablet computer is a responsible business. Let's approach this process in stages. The first step is to decide on the operating system that is necessary and convenient for you. The most common operating systems for tablets are IOS, Android and Windows.
The IOS platform is used only by Apple, on the Android platform there is a wide range of devices, in particular, many tablets from Samsung (Galaxy line), HP, Lenovo and others. A more modest selection of Windows tablets. Each of the operating systems has its own nuances, its own interface. If you want a familiar interface, in which you are used to working, then pay attention to Windows tablets. Operating systems IOS and Android also have a completely accessible and intuitive interface, but are known for their widest assortment of all kinds of applications and games. In terms of functionality and stability, they are ahead of the Windows system.
The next step is to choose the screen diagonal. If you need a compact device, then 7-8 inch tablets will be just right. They are easy enough to hold with one hand and do not take up much space in your bag. If you are in the mood for full-fledged work on a tablet and simply need a large screen, then pay attention to the 10-inch models.
The clarity of the image depends on the number of pixels per inch. The higher the value, the better the image quality on the screen. Choose models with multi-touch function for easy touch screen operation. This will ensure that the screen is responsive to touching with several fingers (zoom in / out, control, and much more). Before buying, be sure to check the operation of the sensor, it should be fast and accurate.
The next step is the choice of RAM and processor. Everything is simple here - the more the number of cores and the higher the clock speed of the processor, the more powerful your device will be. RAM, on the other hand, is responsible for the tablet's performance and overall performance. If you want to watch movies in high quality and play resource-intensive games - choose a more powerful tablet filling.
Memory. Here, both the amount of built-in memory and the ability to use memory cards are important. The same selection algorithm - the more memory, the better. It should be noted that in IOS devices, memory cannot be additionally increased by means of a memory card. If you are going to download videos, store photos and music on a tablet, then it makes sense to purchase a memory card along with the purchase of a tablet.
Another important step is the choice of Internet access in the tablet. There are tablets with a SIM card slot and EDGE or 3G Internet function, with them you will not depend on the presence or absence of a wi-fi network. They are more expensive than similar tablets equipped with only a wi-fi adapter.
If you are going to take photos using a tablet, as well as make video calls (Skype), then the best choice would be a tablet with two cameras. The higher the camera resolution (in megapixels), the clearer the photo and image will be.
When buying a tablet, be sure to check your speakers as well. Sound quality is undoubtedly important when listening to audio, watching video. Tablets with two speakers and stereo sound give good sound quality. It is better to choose a standard headphone jack - 3.5 mm in diameter.
When buying a tablet, you already imagine the purpose for which you are making the purchase. If you need a long battery life of the tablet, then do not forget about the battery power. The higher it is, the longer you will go without "recharging". 8 hours is the optimal battery life.
