TABLET
A tablet computer, or simply tablet, is a one-piece mobile computer. Devices typically have a touch screen, with finger or stylus gestures replacing the conventional computer mouse. It is often supplemented by physical buttons or input from sensors such as accelerometers. An on-screen, hide-able virtual keyboard is usually used for typing. Tablets differentiate themselves by being larger than smart phones or personal digital assistants. They are usually 7 inches (18 cm) or larger, measured diagonally.
Though generally self-contained, a tablet computer may be connected to a physical keyboard or other input device. A number of Hybrids that have detachable keyboards have been sold since the mid-1990s. Convertible touch screen notebook computers have an integrated keyboard that can be hidden by a swivel or slide joint. Booklet tablets have dual-touch screens and can be used as a notebook by displaying a virtual keyboard on one of the displays.
Conceptualized in the mid 20th century and prototyped and developed in the last two decades of that century, the devices only became affordable and popular in 2010.
As of March 2012, 31% of U.S. Internet users were reported to have a tablet, which was used mainly for viewing published content such as video and news.[4] Among tablets available in 2012, the top-selling line of devices was Apple's iPad with 100 million sold by mid October 2012 since it had been released on April 3, 2010,[5 followed by Amazon's Kindle Fire with 7 million, and Barnes & Noble's Nook with 5 million. Mobile developers are also increasingly creating apps on tablets, in order to reach a wider audience. As of May 2013, over 70% of mobile developers were targeting tablet (vs. 93% for smart phones and 18% for feature phones).

History of TABLET

    Typically laptops come with more memory (4-8GB) than tablets. Tablets typically come with an average of 1GB of RAM. If the purchase is for memory purposes then the laptop would be a better option. However, the tablet can have increased memory it just comes at a steeper price ($2000) than the laptop. The battery life of the device is important depending on how much the device will be used. The average battery life for a laptop is about six hours. Let’s keep in perspective it takes more “juice” to run a laptop than a small tablet which has an average battery life of ten hours. The main focus for a purchase would be price, memory, and battery life. Laptops, like desktop PCs before them, have a built-in benefit over tablets, and that benefit is power. As a rule, laptops have more powerful processing hardware, allowing for a wider range of uses, faster performance and better multitasking. Laptops can easily handle common tablet uses—like Web browsing and media streaming—and then go significantly further, with uses ranging from simple data entry to complex tasks like photo and video editing.…

    In my opinion, the Kindle Fire lies somewhere in-between an e-reader and tablet. It has the look and feel and an e-reader and caters to their once dominant customer segment. However, with its innovated features including Amazon Silk (a cloud-based web browser), the Kindle Fire steps closer to the functionalities of a tablet. Although competing tablets such as the i-Pad are deemed ‘high-end’ in terms of operating system and technical capabilities, the Kindle Fire has made steps closer to being classified a tablet.…

    Laptops vs Tablets

    • 932 Words

    In this paragraph/section of the essay we are going to focus on the portability of tablets vs. laptops. Because laptops have a physical keyboard, it makes it a lot easier to complete your work whether it be for school, work, or even just personal use. Having a physical keyboard allows the device to have more space on the screen so you can really see what you are needing to do, or are doing. Although laptops do have a physical keyboard, they are less portable than tablets are because of how big they are. Laptops tend vary in size anywhere from 5 pounds to 6 or 7 pounds. Tablets on the other hand are great portable devices because of how small they are. Yes, they lack the keyboard but it does cut out most of the weight. Tablets in most cases weigh less than 2 pounds, and some are even less than 1 pound. Tablets may be more portable that laptops are but because of how small they are, the capabilities lack those of the laptop. I believe that because laptops are not as portable as tablets are, people usually tend to sit down and fully concentrate on their work rather than being able to just grab the tablet and doing it on the go. So portability would have to go the tablets, due to their sleek and small design. You can just throw your tablet in your bag or even just hold on to without having your arm get tired. Not only are tablets small and sleek and portable, but also they are also great for kids that are stuck in the car on a long car ride. All you have to do is just turn on Netflix, or…
