Tablet Buying Guide

Screens

One of the biggest advantages of using a tablet device over a laptop or a smartphone is its screen size. Tablets find themselves in a perfect balance, often fielding a display size generally between 8-12”. Of course, some models like the Microsoft Surface Duo or the HANNspree Zeus 2 find themselves outside the average on either end of the spectrum. Most tablet displays boast crystal clear resolutions and flawless touchscreen responsiveness, allowing you not to only view and watch but to engage and create. Whether your device features HD, Full HD or even WXGA resolutions, you will be able to enjoy your movies and games in fine detail.

Processors

In the same way, your desktop PCs rely on their processors to supply them with sufficient power to execute your commands, your tablet device does the same. Processors are fairly straightforward for beginners to grasp, with the standard CPU for tablets often being a dual-core processor which will be enough for everyday computing such as online web browsing, exchanging messages on social media sites and even some high-resolution video streaming. However, those looking for a more sophisticated and capable tablet will want to opt for a model featuring either a quad-core or octa-core processor. This will boost your performance capabilities significantly, allowing for professional content creation and even a degree of competitive gaming. Some high-end tablets come outfitted with processors matching those in some laptops, which are especially ones to look out for if you are planning on using your tablet for professional work such as photo and video media editing.

Storage

Storage is another intuitive area for you to consider when purchasing a tablet. For most people, their tablets will be home to an assortment of apps, work files likely transferred from their phones or laptops, music, videos and more. 16GB and 32GB are considered the standard storage capacity for most tablets, but it is not uncommon for more premium models to reach heights of 128GB and 256GB in storage. Of course, if you are looking to really use your tablet as a primary work and leisure solution, with plenty of document and media files likely to be mainstays on your device then your search may be better off starting around models with 32GB storage.

Connectivity

With their proficiency for on-the-go productivity, it is essential that your tablet is able to get online wirelessly and most importantly, stay online wirelessly. Wherever you find yourself, your tablet needs to be able to get online which is why Wi-Fi support is featured in all tablets. Some tablets however are able to get online via a 3G/4G connection, similar to the way your smartphones use their internal data, so you can still get online even when there is no solid Wi-Fi connection available for usage.
