Should I Buy A Tablet Or Laptop? Pros And Cons Of Each Device. by iscom(m): 7:47am On Mar 18, 2015
Should I Buy a Tablet or Laptop? Pros
and Cons of Each Device.
We're often asked this question: should I buy a
laptop or a tablet computer. The answer is damn
simple: maybe. To be honest, it really depends upon
your needs.
The Apple iPad is not a replacement for a laptop.
Yes indeed, tablets are good at many things, but
they still can't replace a laptop.
Here's a quick breakdown of what you should
consider before deciding to buy a laptop or a tablet
device.
Tablet: Pros and Cons
A tablet device is so much lighter and more
comfortable to carry than the bulky laptop. Unlike
most laptops, an iPad doesn't get too warm
because there are no fans.
Basically tablets are ideal for consuming content.
They are tailor made for surfing the web, playing
light games, reading magazines and enjoying music
and movies.
With an iPad, you'll definitely get an all-day battery
life. Even if you pick up an ordinary Android tablet,
chances are, the device should last anywhere
between 7 and 8 hours on a single charge.
The average tablet weighs less than 400 grams that
is less than half the thickness of a standard laptop.
So yes, there is a big advantage to own a tablet
device over a laptop computer.
Another big advantage to get a tablet is that it
doesn't take ages to boot up. And when you press
the power button, it goes into standby mode
instantly, but remains connected to the internet.
The popular tablet size is 9 to 10-inches. You can
also find tablets with 7-to 8-inch screen sizes.
These smaller sized tablets are more portable, and
can easily fit inside a pocket.
Talking about the productivity, tablets are
increasing becoming more versatile than ever. More
and more developers are making business-centric
apps for tablets. Microsoft's MS Office suite is now
available on the iPad. Similar options are available
for Android-powered tablets.
As far as their price goes, tablets are more
attractive because they're more affordable. An
average android-based tablet starts at N10000
and goes up to N100000 for the top-end model.
Meanwhile, the iPad Mini, Apple's cheapest tablet -
will cost users upwards of N40000 or maybe
less.
Conclusion
Despite many advantages, a tablet shouldn't be
looked as a replacement of a laptop computer.
That's because the laptop is good at multitasking.
You can quickly switch between applications and
see all of your open apps at once. Another big area
where laptop computers win is software. Of course,
tablets have millions of apps, but laptops have more
productive features built-in. For instance, you
cannot write codes or edit photos using Adobe
Photoshop. If you buy a laptop, it'll probably come
with a fitted at least 500GB of hard drive. What's
more, you can also use an external hard drives for
cheap. The Apple iPad has no way of adding
storage. Unlike tablets. traditional laptops are better
at video editing with the help of professional tools.
