We want to say exactly this: even "super advanced" tablets are used mainly for watching movies, reading, browsing the Internet and playing games. Yes, a tablet is a mobile computer to which you can connect a mouse and keyboard, but who is going to do that? Only person nominated for the Mr. / Mrs. Oddity Award. We already have fingers for sitting with a tablet.
If you want more comfort - choose a larger diagonal and resolution!
1. Display diagonal
A large diagonal is expensive, fact. But it allows you to see more details. For child's play and for reading books, we recommend portable models with a diagonal of less than 7 "(this is how inches are denoted; multiply by 2.54 and get centimeters). For watching movies, surfing the Internet and for working with office applications (what if you are the secretary of a big boss?) A 10 ”diagonal is good.
2. Screen aspect ratio and resolution
Which tablet to choose, long-narrow or almost square? The former have an aspect ratio of 16: 9, invented for movies, videos and games; the second - 4: 3, traditional and more or less universal.
- The standard resolution for 7 "is 1024x600.
- For 9.7 "- 1024x768.
We do not recommend settling for a lower one if you want to enjoy the clarity and contrast of the image. Tablets with Full HD (1080p) resolution - 1920x1200 and 1920x1200 - will be a feast for your eyes and soul. However, this is not the limit: there are devices with a resolution of 2560 × 1600, which can charm even the most dull person.
Which tablet is better - plastic or metal?
Metal-bodied tablets are more elegant and go well with a business suit (if you decide to choose a tablet for work). However, holding them is more difficult: during a tense meeting, your friend and helper can easily slip out of wet hands.
The more important disadvantage of the metal tablet is that its body "jammers" the Wi-Fi signal, reducing the distance you can move away from the router.
The plastic “clings” well to the palm, a little lighter than metal, but with a high probability it will crack if the tablet nevertheless falls to the floor from your hands. Unlike metal, plastic is less conductive to heat, so the plastic tablet will get hotter during the game.

Processor, memory, operating system
Most of all, the processor and random access memory (RAM) of the tablet are loaded with 3D games. Fans of tanks, shooters and racing will need a processor with a frequency of 1.5 GHz or higher, RAM 2 GB or more. For movies and reading, tablets with more modest parameters are suitable.
The question of the operating system (OS) is not for everybody. There are three of them: Windows, Android and iOS, each of which, in fact, reflects a different worldview. This subject cannot be measured or weighed in absentia, but we can say that Android was developed by supporters of openness and flexibility, iOS - fans of ideal functionality that the user does not need to get into, Windows - people who tried to overcome the shortcomings of the first two operating systems (this does not mean that they worked).
In order for the tablet to be able to take on board several films, various applications and games, it must have at least 32 GB of permanent memory.On Android devices, memory can be expanded using SD cards, but iPad and iPad mini owners will have to be content with what they have.
We've covered almost everything about tablets for you. Which one is better to choose, you can decide in the process of their leisurely and thoughtful examination in the "Tablets" section of our store.
