Considerations When Buying a Tablet

Buying a Tablet

There are many things to consider when buying a tablet. One may be overwhelmed when they walk into a store and see multiple options of tablets, including but not limited to; multiple brands, sizes, features, colors, and even price. It’s most important to cover the top three brands of tablets, which happen to be the iPad, Kindle, and Nook. Before buying a tablet, it is important to decide what it is you would use your tablet most for. Would it be reading? Games? Apps? Or would it be everyday use in replacement of a computer or laptop?
When looking to purchase a tablet from Apple, a few options are available. As of now there is an iPad Air, as well as an iPad mini. They both contain similar features; however, the iPad Air has a 9.7-inch display while the iPad mini has a 7.9-inch display. The new iPad Air is unbelievably thin and light, and yet it’s so much more powerful and capable. With the A7 chip, advanced wireless, and great apps for productivity and creativity — all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 — iPad Air lets you do more than you ever imagined, in more places than you ever imagined. On another note, any way you look at it, iPad mini is just incredible. And the stunning Retina display is only the beginning. With a new A7 chip, advanced wireless, and powerful apps — all beautifully integrated with iOS 7 — iPad mini with Retina display lets you do more than you ever imagined. Feature for feature, it’s identical to iPad Air in every way, except for its super-portable, hold-it-in-one-hand, still-just-right mini size. It starts at $399. (Apple)

...deciding on a tablet to purchase, as well as which brands fit their needs and budgets. In my opinion, tablets should be used for leisure rather than work, and they should not have to be heavily relied on. It is important that buyer’s understand just what a tablet can do so their expectations aren’t too high.
As far as wireless systems go, all of the tablets that I listed are able to connect to Wi-Fi, however, if one would want to be able to connect to the internet without having Wi-Fi, they could pay a monthly fee to a cell phone company such as Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. It all depends on the buyer’s needs and wants.
