Now the market has a huge variety of devices that are designed for specific tasks. Tablets for working with documents and the Internet are not so common on the market. And in principle, such a category as such does not exist.
In general, pills are now losing popularity. Someone replaces them with a smartphone, someone with a laptop. Therefore, the niche ceases to be necessary. However, there are still consumers who need such a device.
Tablets
These devices have long been known to the user. We found out about them back in 2002. Then it was decided to produce laptops without a mouse and keyboard. A stylus was needed to work. Over time, the touch screen was invented. So the version of the classic tablet has come down to us.
For a long time, almost all devices were produced to work with documents and the Internet. Tablets poorly coped with multimedia and games. But users needed not only social networks, but also toys. As a result, manufacturers had totarget just such an audience.
Gradually they began to forget about work tablets. Many needy began to purchase netbooks and ultrabooks. Although these options were more expensive, they were still worthy of attention.
Changing trends
But time passes, as always, everything changes. Smartphones began to be released more and more, their diagonal is growing exponentially. Even the iPhone, which was devoted to compactness, got a model with a 6.5-inch screen this year.
Many users began to purchase gaming computers and laptops, so the gaming industry on tablets has suffered. And all modern smartphones easily support gaming novelties.
In order to somehow keep up with the desires of the consumer, manufacturers decided to recycle tablets. So there were docking stations and many accessories. Tablets have become fashionable and stylish.
Despite the fact that many users do not see the point in purchasing a tablet with a laptop and a smartphone, some are looking for tablets to work with documents and the Internet.
How to choose?
If you still decide to look after yourself a working tablet in 2018, do not panic, several successful new products have appeared this year. What should I look for when choosing a device?
First of all, you need to deal with the functionality of the gadget. Many options may not be needed at all, and some will become indispensable.
Next, you have to decide on the budget. A good tablet for working with documents and the Internet can costexpensive. Therefore, you will have to decide immediately on the permissible cost. Either you get an assistive device for 10-15 thousand rubles, or buy a full-fledged assistant for 90 thousand rubles.
After you can pay attention to the appearance: screen size, availability of additional parts, etc. The main thing is also to study the technical characteristics of the device.
Tablet functionality
Which tablet is right for work? At least one that can:
- play text content;
- work with the Internet;
- run email monitoring programs;
- run social networking programs;
- work with office programs;
- support graphic and text editors;
- maintain good quality video conferencing;
- play video and audio files.
Of course, this list can be replenished, depending on the individual requirements of the user. Someone is important to the fast work of text editors, someone is going to run graphic editors. Correct functionality directly depends on the technical specifications.
Appearance
Which tablet to choose for work? It's always a matter of taste. Someone wants to stand out, so they get bright gadgets from brands. For others, the "stuffing" of the device is important, and the appearance is absolutely unimportant.
Nevertheless, at least the screen size will have to be determined. On the market, most often you can find devices with a screen diagonal of 7 to10 inches. For work, of course, it is better to choose a 10-inch device.
Firstly, the larger the screen, the more information fits on it, the easier it is to work with. Secondly, often large screens get a good resolution, which means that the picture will always be of high quality. Thirdly, the display matrix is also important. In compact models, it is budget, and in more expensive versions it has a good viewing angle, contrast and brightness.
Specifications
A tablet capable of replacing a laptop must have powerful hardware. Therefore, when choosing, you will have to deal with the processor and RAM. It's better to look for 8-core chips as they can handle more tasks and handle resource-hungry programs with ease.
For example, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 has an eight-core Samsung Exynos 5433 inside. This is the company's proprietary processor. Inside it has a built-in graphics accelerator, which is responsible for video playback.
A good model for work should have a lot of RAM and internal memory. More than 3 GB of RAM is required. Now this indicator is optimal for working with documents and programs. The internal memory can usually be expanded, so 8 GB will be enough for the base. If not enough, you can buy a memory card.
Well, and finally, the presence of a capacitive battery is extremely important. The tablet should work for a long time, because it is always at hand. The time of his activity should play a significant role in the choice. The best thingchoose a tablet with a battery of 5-6 thousand mAh.
Tablet system
You can find a good inexpensive tablet for work among models with Windows, Android and iOS. It's not easy to make a choice here. It all depends on what the user is used to. Someone has used Apple technology all their lives, so they will feel uncomfortable using a different OS.
But there are some negative factors in each of these systems. For example, Android tablets consume more energy resources. Many updates cause applications to stop working due to incompatibilities.
iOS can also cause discomfort in use if the user has never used an Apple device before. In addition, these models lack the necessary ports, including USB. Also, data transfer does not occur through a regular explorer. To do this, you need to use iTunes.
Disadvantages of Windows are related to the fact that the tablet requires a lot of resources. Therefore, he needs powerful hardware.
