Laptop vs Tablet: Which one to buy?
1. What should you do before deciding between a laptop or a tablet?
It can be quite to challenge when it comes to picking the right computer between laptops or tablets with so many options. So I should focus on something to consider before buy one; firstly what you want to do with your computer and secondly where would you use it. The Laptop is perfect option for most student. Power and performance combined together to the light weight frame, a laptop has bigger storage data and laptop faster than tablet.
On tablet, I considered that Tablets are perfect for who only need to use for less demanding though such as taking notes browsing the internet or reading documents. So it’s ideal for those who need to work on the go as well as providing great portability that they take up less space and can be easily put away when not in use. After considered these steps, I would choose laptop as student that homework can be done easily.
2. What are some of the key features of each device?
For tablet, it’s significantly smaller than the laptop as well as lighter weight. Another feature that tablet is very light and have long battery life and partner with accessories such as a key board and mouse.
Laptop has bigger screen and and easy to work on any kind of project. The laptop has bigger storage memory than tablet and more capability of CPU and RAM. There are variety of ports that you can find on a laptop such as HDMI and USB ports etc. Most of the laptop can easily transfers data from BlueRay, DVD and CD.
3. What are three important characteristic of each device that might influence your decision?
For me, first important characteristic for tablet is light weight and smaller size that accessible for any place. Secondly, working on apps (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram etc.) is more comfortable on the tablet. The camera on laptop could substitute an actual video

    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.…

    Some devices are very expensive and are used for a variety of things from business, simple word processing or gaming. Some device users become strong proponents of one platform or another, for example those who prefer apple commuters will not use a PC and vice versa, citing ability to install viruses and availability of software as their reasons for choosing.

    First thing a customer must consider before choosing a laptop that he/she will be using for a long time, is the laptop’s efficiency. When using a Windows based laptop, you find that its efficiency is not that good since you face many errors and problems when using it. They’re also slow when you open more than one program together; the operating system’s memory can’t handle great usage. For example, if you were watching a high quality video, while opening a website and going through pictures, you’ll notice that the video will sometimes jam in some parts and then continue playing. On the other hand, Apple’s laptops, having Mac as its operating system, are more efficient than Windows based laptops. You will never face even half the amount of errors compared to windows. While using Mac, you can open as many programs and windows as you like without having to wait up to 5 minutes till your laptop starts to function again.…
