Tablet computers confidently answered their niche, their popularity is growing every year. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of models at a wide variety of price points. Therefore, the user is faced with the difficult question of choosing a specific tablet.
Apple is rightfully considered the trendsetter in the tablet computer market. Her iPad is one of the very best, but that doesn't mean it's worth trying to get it. When choosing a tablet, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors, because the main thing is not the prestige of the device, but its convenience and the ability to solve the necessary tasks with its help. When choosing a tablet, you should first decide on the screen size, it can have a diagonal from 5-6 inches to 9-10 inches. It is clear that devices with a large screen are more expensive, but they allow you to solve a wider range of tasks. The quality of the screen is also very important - as a rule, expensive devices have it much better. Take into account the resolution: for the cheapest models it is 800 × 480, which is clearly not enough to obtain a high-quality image. Models with a resolution of 1024 × 600 are more common, and for models with large screens, it should be at least 1024 × 768. The next important point is the choice of the operating system. There are three main options on the market: iOS for Apple tablets, Windows versions 7 and 8, and Google's Android built on top of Linux. When choosing an OS, first of all focus on the availability of the applications you need. All presented operating systems solve typical tasks, but if you need specialized software, it may not be available for some of the operating systems. Having decided on the previous points, evaluate the technical characteristics of the tablet. Namely, the processor power, the amount of memory available to the user, the ability to connect to the Internet - in particular, the presence of 3G and Wi-Fi. Equally important is the presence of a camera, which will allow you to use programs such as Skype. Pay attention to the presence of a USB connector through which you can connect a wide variety of devices to the tablet. An SD card reader is also useful. Some tablets come with an external plug-in keyboard, which is very convenient. Of course, the quality of the case materials is of no small importance. Metal is stronger than plastic, but heavier, which can be noticeable when holding the tablet in one hand. It's good if the screen is covered with tempered glass, and not plastic, there are no scratches left on it. The use of the tablet computer is very varied. You can watch movies and photos on it, listen to music with it, read e-books. The presence of an on-screen or external keyboard makes it possible to work with texts. Tablets are great for gaming. Many models have a built-in navigator, which allows you to very accurately navigate the terrain using a tablet. Thus, a tablet computer can become a small but truly indispensable assistant for you.
