What to do with a tablet if you are tired of playing games, and your head starts to hurt from surfing the Internet? Of course, you can also watch funny videos or read a book. But then all these entertainments also get bored. What other features of tablets exist? How to use your personal gadget to its full potential? What else can he do? Let's try to figure out this difficult issue together.
What is a tablet?
Many will probably be surprised at such an obvious question. But in our case, we mean not the technical side, but the functional purpose. Let's take smartphones for example. With these devices, everything is very clear - they are designed for communication. A sort of overgrown phones that can easily compete with old PCs of the last decade with their computing power. The tablet, the capabilities and functions of which are constantly being improved, is also actively catching up with stationary computers in terms of its technical capabilities.parameters. And some of them, such as the resolution of the monitors of the latest iPads, are already ahead of those of most modern laptops (not counting Apple's models). And at the same time, the capabilities of tablets raise many questions, and ordinary users have a very vague idea about them. But some of the opportunities available will certainly interest those who would like to show their creativity.
Photo editing and graphics creation
For this interesting tablet feature, developers have come up with related apps such as SketchBook X and Procreate. On the one hand, drawing with a finger on glass is fraught with many advantages, and on the other, there are often problems with small details. And this is the main drawback. Despite the fact that the applications listed above allow you to zoom in on the image, it is quite difficult to achieve pixel-accurate hits. And this causes certain inconveniences, especially when you want to depict filigree details. However, the use of a high-quality, sensitive stylus allows you to cope with this problem. Now there are even nibs (such as the JaJa stylus) that, in addition to pressure, also react to the angle of inclination, and this allows you to come close to professional level.
Second monitor
Not everyone knows about this curious feature of tablets. Using a tablet as an additional screen allows you to display on an auxiliary device almost the samepicture that shows the main device. Moreover, on a tablet, the image is available not only for viewing - using the touch screen, you can drag windows, manage a list of tasks, draw, etc. There is room for fantasy to roam. Usually, the Air Display (iOS), ScreenSlider (Android) or iDisplay program is used for this. Unfortunately, these applications are paid, and although their price is not too high, this is the main disadvantage of such a tablet feature. In order for this feature to work, you will also need to install a free server on the user's computer and set up communication via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or a USB cable.
Video editing
This feature is one of the most demanding on the resources of the tablet, and therefore it can only be used normally on top-end devices equipped with iOS or Android. iPhones and iPads come pre-installed with the Camera app for basic manipulation. And owners of any other tablets can download the application from Google Play or the Apple iTunes Store. Although even the best programs like Avid Studio and iMovie are still far from professional work, with quality cameras you can try yourself as an aspiring filmmaker.
In conclusion
Regardless of how the future capabilities of the Samsung tablet or other manufacturers' tablets are designed, most uses for the tablet come down to creativity. And though the borderbetween her and entertainment is now not too clear, this circumstance seems to be temporary. A few more decades will pass, and the capabilities of tablet PCs will allow them to move from an intermediate class of devices to real computers, and the old stationary PCs will turn into museum rarities.
