When choosing a tablet computer, you should focus on its technical characteristics, based on your needs and financial capabilities. For example, if you want to use your tablet as an e-book or for surfing the Internet, then you don't have to buy an expensive and multifunctional gatget for these purposes. And for playing games and watching videos, a rather powerful tablet computer is required.
When choosing a tablet, first of all, you should pay attention to the screen diagonal. Modern tablets are available in 6 "to 12" screens. The most inexpensive tablets have a screen of 6-7 inches. Therefore, if low price and compact dimensions are important to you, and other parameters are not of particular importance, it is recommended to opt for a six- or seven-inch tablet computer.
In addition to size, the screen has parameters such as resolution and type (resistive or capacitive). The higher the resolution, the better and sharper the image will be. For games and watching videos, it is better to choose high-resolution models. As for the types, they differ in that resistive screens are pressure sensitive, and capacitive screens are touch sensitive. It is the capacitive displays that support the multi-touch function. This function allows you to recognize the simultaneous touch of multiple fingers, including zooming in and out.
Built-in memory size
Built-in memory is required for software installation and data storage. Accordingly, the wider the scope of the tablet (games, working with documents, viewing photos and videos), the more memory should be. However, if there is insufficient internal memory, the problem can be solved by using memory cards. All tablet models now have flash memory slots.
Operating system
The most common operating systems for tablets are Android, Apple iOS, and Windows Phone. As you know, computer equipment from Apple is distinguished by its high cost and reliability. And the cheapest tablets run the Android operating system, this OS is popular among mobile devices due to the large number of free applications and games, as well as functionality. Therefore, it is undoubtedly the leader in the mobile OS market.
As for the functionality of Windows Phone, the most recent versions can already compete with Android. However, the main disadvantage of mobile operating systems of the Windows family is the almost complete absence of free applications. Therefore, for those who want to use the tablet as a multifunctional device, Windows Phone is not suitable.
Battery
Tablet computers have built-in rechargeable batteries that are designed to last from 2 to 14 hours. If you need a tablet for travel and business trips, then it is better to choose models that have the maximum battery life.
Internet
Inexpensive models support connection to the network via a wi-fi module. However, the wi-fi connection has a limited data transfer rate. If you need fast internet, it's better to choose a tablet with 3G or 4G support.
