Tablet computers are in great demand today. By the number of sales, they have long surpassed popular notebook models, and the netbook market has been "killed" altogether. What is a tablet and how can it be used in everyday life?
The development of computer technology went in two ways. The first is the creation of super-powerful computing systems for the needs of science, defense and space research. And the second way of development, which led to the appearance of tablets, is the miniaturization of technology. The tablet turned out to be such a popular gadget that almost all laptop manufacturers have developed and release their own models of these interesting devices.
What is a tablet and what are its advantages
A tablet is a personal computer that is lightweight, small in size, and lacks the usual input tools such as a mouse and keyboard. All interaction with the gadget takes place through the touch screen, that is, using your fingers. To many, this method at first seems unusual and inconvenient, therefore, after the first acquaintance with the tablet, they try to give it to friends or simply throw it on the farthest shelf of the bookcase.
In fact, the tablet PC provides the user with such vivid and significant conveniences that, having got used to its features, a person can no longer imagine his daily life without it. Here are just a few of the advantages of a tablet over a traditional laptop:
mobility - small size and light weight allow you to take the tablet with you wherever you go, and low power consumption and long battery life ensure long-term autonomous work without recharging;
a rich set of applications available for (including) free download allows you to use the gadget for both entertainment and work;
stability of work and "unsinkability" - a tablet on the Android or iOS platform, as a rule, does not "catch" viruses, because, at least for now, little is known for these platforms;
versatility and compatibility - on a tablet you can watch the same movies, view photos and listen to the same music as on a computer, but in a very mobile mode.
How to use your tablet effectively
The very first thing that comes to mind for the owners of a newly purchased, brand new gadget is to use it for entertainment, especially since the set of preinstalled programs necessarily contains simple, but exciting and colorful games. You can listen to your favorite music and watch movies by copying them to a memory card or, if the device's specifications allow it, to its internal memory. Many devices allow you to connect a USB flash drive or external hard drive.
The possibility of safe and convenient web surfing is of great importance for a modern person, and this opportunity is provided by any tablet. Just keep in mind that some models can only connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi. But if you buy an ordinary mobile router, then you can "distribute" Wi-Fi yourself.
But the funnest thing about using a tablet is for work. The ability to connect to cloud services, full synchronization with your own home or office computer, collaboration of several users on the same document with instant synchronization of all changes in the cloud make the tablet computer indispensable for fans of a mobile lifestyle and business people who are often forced to be absent for a long time. in the office.
And yet we are forced to say that a tablet is only a good and convenient addition to a desktop or laptop, but it is definitely not suitable for the role of the main device.
