The advancement of technology has really changed our lives. More than ever, we rely on machines for most of our daily tasks at work, school, and even at home. One of the greatest innovations of our century is the computer. Almost every household in an urban city has at least one computer or laptop. Modern man is always on the go, living a fast-paced life. Portability and ease of use is the key. Being able to access the Internet and perform simple tasks without the need for a heavy and bulky device has become a necessity.
In recent years, it has been a natural progression for tablets to gain widespread popularity. Why the sudden popularity? Why use a tablet instead of a regular laptop? This short article will list some advantages of using these compact devices.
The obvious: mobility and compactness
The conventional computer or laptop tends to be very bulky, not to mention the additional QWERTY keyboard and mouse. Obviously, tablets are smaller than laptops, which makes them easy to fit in a small bag or backpack. Holding them is simple too, with no need for a desk or table. The tablets use touch screen technology and on-screen keyboards that help make them easy to transport. They can be easily used on public transport or in your bed. Although newer laptop models are conveniently lighter, tablets still win in terms of weight and sturdiness. The average model tends to weigh around 300 to 700 grams, while mini laptops typically weigh around 900 to 1.2 kg. Tablets come with multi-touch technology that eliminates the added weight of a keyboard and mouse.
Connectivity: Internet on the go
Today a large number of buildings and establishments have free Wi-Fi that allows you to easily connect to the Internet from your tablet PC. Alternatively, most come with unlimited 3G mobile internet provided by mobile carriers. This allows a user to access the Internet even on a train or at the beach, as long as there is network coverage. And since most tablets also have built-in cameras, they also support video calls even on the go.
You will never get bored: thousands of applications
If you want to play a game on your laptop, you usually have to buy a CD and endure the tedious task of installation. Whenever you want to play, you need to make sure that the CD is running on your CD ROM. In today’s fast-paced world, tablets offer an easier and faster alternative. You can download a game or app with a few clicks in just a couple of minutes. You can check the weather, real-time sports updates, or even check the stock market with a simple app. Gone are the days when you needed to navigate through a 100-page map. Many now come with a GPS navigation system that will give real-time directions by text or voice. And for video game addicts, you can download HD games and enjoy realistic gameplay using the tablet’s touch screen and accelerometer. There are thousands of apps available and most of them are offered free of charge.
More reasons why you won’t be bored: Entertainment
Before, if you wanted to see a movie, you had to go to the cinema or buy or rent a DVD. But now, you can easily download high-quality legal movies on the Internet at a much lower cost. In less than an hour (depending on the speed of your Internet connection), you can watch your favorite movies right on your tablet and take them wherever you want. You can store entire movies on your board (depending on storage capacity), which means less clutter on your DVD shelves. In addition, you can store hundreds of music tracks on your device, which can also be purchased online for a reasonable price. Tablet PCs offer high-quality graphics compared to many laptop models, ensuring a great viewing experience.
Adaptability: easy data transfer
Tablets usually come with a connector port that you can use to connect to other devices, such as cameras, other computers, and televisions. You can transfer images and other files with just a few clicks. And there’s no need to worry about storage, as most come with a minimum of 16GB of storage. Now you can store hundreds of photos and videos in one handy little device.
smart and stylish
Most of the time, people buy these high-end devices to look good, as a status quo. Due to their amazing features, tablets can be a bit pricey. However, it is worth every penny in terms of how much use you can get out of them. And of course, strutting around with a handy whiteboard looks so much better than lugging around a massive laptop. Tablet PCs are a relatively new technology and are likely to improve and evolve in the future. And over time, more and more features are being added to these devices that will make them more of a necessity than a luxury.
